Chapter 585 Put To Shame
Kevin snickered, “Of course, you don’t need to do anything. You and Tobias are indeed a simpatico pair, playing the ‘good cop, bad cop’, huh? He threatened me with Eva’s job. You know how selfish Eva is, so it’s impossible that she’ll sacrifice her job for me. If I don’t post that on Twitter, she is never going to forgive me. I really shouldn’t have counted on you to help me.”
Skylar finally got her head around it. No wonder Kevin admitted so soon. It turns out that he was under Tobias’ coercion. Skylar was really disappointed in Kevin’s attitude.
Looks like it’s time to cut ties with him and make a clean break. Kevin had exhausted the last strand of sympathy Skylar had for him.
Hanging up the phone, Skylar could hear someone calling out her name. Hence, she handed her phone to Hannah.
Hannah took over the phone and was notably excited. “It’s an ill wind, isn’t it? You were right to remain silent and not clarify or explain anything. Now everyone is saying that you’re gracious and big-hearted.”
Nevertheless, Skylar wasn’t pleased at all. Watching Skylar’s placid countenance, Hannah pursed her lips, covering up her own smile.
Skylar changed into a workshop uniform from the eighties and a pair of green rubber boots. She didn’t have bountiful hair, so the stylist put on hair extensions for her which were two thick and dark braids.
Looking at her own reflection in the mirror, Skylar found herself looking very identical to Meredith when she was young. Meredith used to work in a sand quarry, doing the most tiring and physical works that men do, and never really had a good life.
She took out her phone and sent a selfie to Tobias on WhatsApp, just to find that the message could not go through.
Skylar’s eyes widened in surprise. What’s happening? Have I been blocked by Tobias?
She hurriedly made a call to Tobias before the filming started.
As soon as it was picked up from the other end, Skylar raised her tone and questioned, “Why did you block me? I didn’t offend you, did I? Was it because I didn’t satisfy your lust in the car that day? Tobias, I didn’t know you’re such a petty man. Why aren’t you talking? Fine, since you’ve blocked me, then don’t unblock ever again.”
