Chapter 618 Charming All The Men
Sharon had been looking forward to the redevelopment of the area. Every year, she would try to ask around to see if any developers had taken an interest in their area.
Time and again, her hopes were dashed, as most of the developers could not afford the massive investment needed to redevelop that area.
However, the most recent offer had great potential as Ford Group was involved. Tobias had the financial means and also the savvy business mind to make things work.
“Once that house is demolished, all my fond memories will be lost too. Whenever I feel down, I always go back to the house, and memories of the happy times I had there will cheer me up. In the future, I will not have warm recollections of the place. All that is left will be a pile of cold steel and concrete,” Skylar mumbled softly.
Laurel couldn’t judge what would be best for Skylar, but she could empathize with her emotional attachment to the old house. Some people treasured their old stuff because of the fond memories associated with them. She knew many people would keep their old phones even after getting a new one, and they could not bear to delete all the old photos and data in the old phone.
“Which neighborhood is up for redevelopment? I am a local here, but I have not heard of any news of potential redevelopment projects around this area!” Laurel curiously asked.
Just then, Ingrid appeared and threw a paper bag at Skylar. She haughtily held her head high, not looking Skylar in her eyes, and begrudgingly said, “Take it! It is from Marcus.”
Skylar opened the bag and found a tube of ointment for bruises. She examined the bruises on her wrist, and they were still fairly visible.
She did not expect Marcus to notice those bruises and make Ingrid bring her the ointment. She was positive even Tobias had not noticed her injury.
She handed the bag back to Ingrid and said, “Please thank Marcus for me. I am fine, and the bruises will go away after a couple of days. I appreciate his kindness but I have no use for this ointment.”
Ingrid looked her up and down and snorted at her. “Anyway, I have done my part and brought it to you as Marcus had instructed. I don’t care what you do with it!”
Skylar did not want the ointment, so she handed the bag to Laurel and told her to do as she deemed fit.
Ingrid sent Marcus a text message. ”Stop trying to suck up to her. Your effort is not appreciated.”
Marcus: “All you need to do is to deliver it to her.”
Ingrid was never a nosy person, but she felt that by paying too much attention to Skylar, Marcus would give other people an impression that he was out to fight with Tobias over a woman.
