In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 84

When Skylar wanted to leave, Tobias blocked the exit and locked the door. “Just stay here for the night. Or else, you might not be as lucky the next time you meet a bunch of hoodlums.”

Recalling Pink Hair, Skylar asked Tobias, “Where did the few of them go? The police station?”

Tobias replied with a tone devoid of emotion, “They’re dead.”

Skylar thought Tobias was kidding. “It’s not funny at all. Why would they be dead? It’s not like they committed armed robbery.”

Tobias held onto Skylar’s wrist and pulled her into his arms. Tightening his embrace, he whispered, “Young lady, the world isn’t as perfect as you imagine it to be. Since they made a mistake, they had to pay the price. Forgiveness is for the weak.”

Skylar still didn’t believe him. Although Tobias was ruthless, she didn’t think he would actually take someone’s life. Is he trying to teach me about life?

When they heard a knock on the door, Skylar’s heart sank. The images from the other day flashed across her mind. She didn’t want to be caught in bed with him again.

As Tobias let go of Skylar to open the door, she found a place to hide. If she could choose a superpower then, it would be the power of invisibility.

When she saw that it was Sheldon who entered, she heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Tobias was upset at being disturbed. “Why are you here at this hour? Spit it out quickly.”

When Sheldon saw that Skylar was still around, he pulled Tobias aside. “Avery’s father is here and wants to see Skylar. He’s waiting at the hotel entrance and throwing a temper tantrum. However, he is just ranting at Skylar and doesn’t dare scold you.”

“No, she’s not free.” Tobias decided on Skylar’s behalf.
