Skylar turned toward the source of the voice and saw a kind-looking old man. Despite his gray hair, he still looked strong and healthy. Under a closer look, his features resembled Kai’s.
“This is my girlfriend, Skylar Jones,” Tobias said as he held her hand, “Skylar, meet my uncle, Zachary Stokes.”
Ah, so he’s really Kai’s father.
Zachary came forward and shook her hand. “Nice to meet you. You look familiar. I’m sure I’ve seen you somewhere before.”
“Of course, you’ve seen her before. She’s an actress.”
Zachary’s face froze as Kai interjected. It was obvious that he did not have a good impression of showbiz.
He had tried countless times to persuade Kai to quit the entertainment industry and come home to take over the family business, but Kai had a mind of his own.
He disliked businessmen like Zachary and Tobias. All they could think of was money and their own benefits.
Tobias introduced Skylar to everyone present and the family members were pleased to meet her.
All eyes were on her because of her dashing appearance. Winnie was no match for her.
Even Claudia had accepted her as Tobias’ girlfriend.
As a mother, she did not want to ruin her relationship with her son, especially when things were not looking good at home.
Tobias had been particularly tolerant of Sheldon, and Claudia knew Tobias must have felt frustrated.
