In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 56

Skylar gazed back into Tobias’ eyes, showing no intention to back down. “I said I’ve been wrongly accused. I haven’t done anything wrong. Why would I sell myself out anyway? It’s not like I’m that insatiable or that the black card you gave me isn’t enough! I’m no saint, but you should stop judging others based on your own preconceptions!”

Tobias lifted Skylar’s chin. The woman had such a firm look in her eyes, perfectly concealing her nerves.

“You act all high and mighty in front of me, but why couldn’t you say anything to the cops? All you did was feign innocence.”

The way he grabbed Skylar’s chin hurt so much that she began to grip his arm tightly.

With that, Tobias let go of her and left the interrogation room.

Skylar called out to the man, only to watch him leave. She then slouched over the table.

At one point, the woman thought a Prince Charming was about to save her from this mess.

Alas, she forgot that Tobias was far from a Prince Charming; he was a wolf that devoured everything without even leaving any bones behind.

A few minutes later, Skylar was taken out of the interrogation room. Her hands instantly felt lighter after having her cuffs removed.

Tobias stood at the end of the hallway not far from her, and next to him was an elderly, white-haired man dressed in a police chief’s uniform.

The man continuously bowed his head, while Tobias looked haughty as usual.

Standing afar, Skylar couldn’t hear what they were talking about.

Then, the female officer, who had talked about breaking her own daughter’s legs, called out to Skylar. “I’m sorry about what I said earlier, Ms. Jones. I went too far. Don’t take it to heart, okay? Please tell Mr. Ford to let us off. We can’t afford to lose our jobs.”

Skylar furrowed her brows. Once again, she had experienced a taste of Tobias’ power over the law and authorities.

Even the female officer who had behaved so arrogantly before this was now apologizing to her.

Still, Skylar had no mercy to spare. “Well, that’s your problem. You cops are supposed to fight for justice, but instead, you accused me of things I never did. You deserve to lose your jobs.”

The female office burst into tears. How could this girl be so cruel? She has no sympathy at all.
