Skylar would save herself from the trouble of arguing with Laura. As it was already past noon, she wondered about the progress with what Tobias was doing.
She was a little worried. Hence, in the end, she took her coat from the sofa and hailed a cab to Wesley’s house.
As soon as she stepped in, Skylar heard Sharon’s crying. She whimpered as she said, “My daughter is only twenty years old. Her life would be ruined if she is married to such a scumbag.”
Wesley agreed and said, “We didn’t accept this three hundred thousand at will. Skylar’s opinion was sought and she agreed to it.”
Tobias sat on the sofa like a host and looked at the couple shedding their tears indifferently.
Seeing as Skylar came in, Sharon finally stopped crying. She looked at Skylar as though she had just seen her lifesaver.
“Skylar, you’ve finally come. Quick, go and talk to Mr. Ford. He wants Eva to marry Jackson. How can that be?”
Skylar turned to look at Tobias with amazement. He seems to know our background very well. He’s even aware that I have a cousin, Eva.
Talking about this cousin of hers, she was only younger than Skylar by a few months. Yet, she had been Skylar’s nightmare since young.
Eva had always been that child that everyone couldn’t stop praising. She had been performing very well academically since young. In addition, she was very pretty. Therefore, everyone in the neighborhood liked her very much.
After high school, she was admitted to one of the renowned universities and Meredith always talked about how promising a youth Eva was and how well Uncle Wesley and Aunt Sharon had raised their child.
Sharon was crying so hard that even her eyes turned misty. Never would she have thought that such a good marriage arrangement would turn out this way.
The man brought home by Skylar was actually Tobias. No one would have expected Skylar, who usually looked dispirited, to have such great capabilities.
Neither did they ever dream of a titan like Tobias visiting such an ordinary family as theirs.
Skylar turned to Tobias with an inquisitive look.
However, Tobias turned to face the couple with a calm expression. “Aren’t you two extremely satisfied with this marriage arrangement? Then, isn’t it good that I’m making your wish come true? It’s okay if you don’t agree with this marriage. I’ve heard that the productivity at the factory where the both of you have worked isn’t satisfactory. Maybe it’s time to lay off a batch of workers.”
