In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 184

Skylar was also affected by this, she started to become pessimistic after witnessing too many incidents like this happening to Penelope. She felt that it was unrealistic and impossible for Tobias and her to be together because of the ever-present chasm between them.

Probably everyone in the country knew of Ford Group. Meanwhile, she was just an ordinary person amidst the crowd.

Skylar had never encountered anything like this before. Seeing the pitiful state Penelope was in, she decided to ask Tobias if there was a way to get the money back.

“I’ll ask Tobias and see if he can help,” Skylar told Penelope.

Penelope had a very bad impression of Skylar’s so-called boyfriend and stubbornly refuted, “You’re being too naive. No one would want to get involved in something like this. He doesn’t even care about you that much, so why would he bother himself with my problem? What’s the use in asking him for help? Is he going to lend me money?”

Penelope still believed that Skylar was being led on by that man.

Suddenly, her eyes widened as she made a wild speculation. “Do you think that man is a scammer too? They slowly approach you, then get you to apply for a loan and run off with all your money. Let me tell you, men with killer looks are the worst. I mean, no straight woman can resist tall, and handsome men, right? You have to be smart or you’ll end up like me. If that happens, crying would be useless.”

Skylar was amazed by Penelope’s overactive imagination. Even in her current fix, she managed to whip up an interesting theory.

Skylar pondered for a moment but still decided to discuss it with Tobias to get a definite view. She knew that he definitely had someone at his company who could trace the IP back to the scammer.

Skylar stayed at the café with Penelope for quite some time, so her plans to head to the university had to be shelved.

She told Tobias her location and the latter said he would come and find her after leaving the company.

It was already late afternoon, so Skylar went to the display case by the counter to buy something to eat.

Penelope stopped her, saying, “Don’t buy the food here. They’re too expensive. I can’t afford to eat all these in my current state.”

Skylar ignored her. Afraid that her friend would be hungry, she ordered an extra piece of cheesecake.
