As Skylar had invested all her money, she hardly had any cash left. Pacing around frantically, she was overwhelmed by anxiety. She just couldn’t accept that there might be strangers living in her old house. If Grandma knew about it, she would turn in her grave and accuse me of failing to protect her home.
Tobias had expected her to deal with the matter calmly. But given her current reaction, he knew she had become a bundle of nerves.
He explained to her, “Your cousin’s problem is akin to a bottomless pit which you can never fill. You shouldn’t have helped him the last time as it has caused him to feel that there are barely any consequences to his actions. Do you understand what I mean? If I were you, I would not compromise even if his creditors tried to kill him.”
Furrowing her eyebrows, Skylar asked helplessly, “Is there really no other way other than selling the house? Why are children so frighteningly rebellious nowadays. If he was my son, I would have given him a good beating.”
Tobias couldn’t imagine what Skylar would be like as a mother. Given how soft-hearted she was, the children would definitely take advantage of her good nature.
“By selling their house to you, wouldn’t the problem be solved? After all, haven’t you always coveted their home. Now that you finally have the opportunity, why don’t you seize it? If you don’t have enough money, I can help you out,” Tobias elaborated casually while Skylar walked out of the kitchen with some snacks.
The world is just too depressing. But, I can cheer myself up with snacks. However, they will make me fat, which makes me even more depressed.
Passing some of them to Tobias, she opened a bag of chips while checking the mutual funds she bought. However, all of them were in the red.
If she liquidated them to buy the house, she would lose a ton of money. A few million would go up in smoke just like that.
