Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 10

A few days had passed, and Tobias never once showed up.

However, Skylar couldn't care less about him. She herself was barely about to survive now, having only

two hundred left in her account after paying off her rent.

With no notices to audition from the crew, Skylar had been surviving on bread and instant noodles for

days.

On this day, Jeremy and his family had returned after a trip to S City.

Skylar had arranged to meet with Jeremy at a coffeehouse in C City.

Having not seen each other for almost half a month, she almost didn't recognize him when he

showed up.

As though her boyfriend had hit the jackpot, he was using the latest iPhone 12 and was wearing a pair

of limited edition AJ paired with an Armani suit.

On top of that, he was even driving an Audi.

Skylar knew the Lanes had been staying in a small house of a meager forty square meters.

Given their financial status, they couldn’t have afforded a motorcycle, much less an Audi.

When Skylar first started going out with Jeremy, Pauline had been unhappy with her, thinking that she

wouldn't be able to help her son.

Since Jeremy was tall and handsome, his mother had advised him to look for a local partner with a

decent family background.

Now that Skylar had chosen to believe in Tobias that the check was real, she realized it was Jeremy

who had deceived her.

"Why haven't you been answering my calls?" Jeremy demanded, his face flushing a healthy red.

"That's why I called you out today, didn't I? Say, Jeremy, when are you going to return the money you

owe me?" Skylar asked drily, propping her face on one hand with a smile that he thought looked

cynical.

"Are you talking to me? I don't remember owing you anything." Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Hah, I was stupid enough to believe you." Skylar laughed at herself. "I can't believe I've trusted you

when you told me that the check was fake."

Guess the cat is out of the bag now. Jeremy sneered inwardly, then said aloud, "Well, don't you think

it's appropriate that I keep this money to make up for the emotional damage you’ve caused me? After

all, you cheated on me to get this."

Following that, he unlocked his phone and clicked into his gallery, showing her the pictures of her when

she was working at Elysium.

If it hadn’t been for Avery, he would have still been kept in the dark, not knowing how his girlfriend had

managed to produce three million in one go.

"Have you no shame, Jeremy? We've been together for over seven years, not seven months, and

that's how you're gonna treat me?" Skylar asked through gritted teeth. If only she could shoot laser with

her eyes, she would have burned Jeremy into ash.

"It's not like I've done you any wrong or I'm breaking up with you," Jeremy sighed, feigning innocence.

"I can pretend that this never

happens-though I don't think I'll marry you."

Feeling as if she had plunged into an endless abyss from heaven, Skylar found herself unable to shed

a single drop of tear.

They had already sent out their wedding invitation two months ago.

"Well, that's easy for you to say. Pay me back, or I'll sue you." Skylar splashed the remaining coffee in

her cup on Jeremy's Armani.

"What are you going to tell the judge at the court?" Jeremy wiped his clothes with a tissue, then folded

his arms. "That your dirty money has been seized by your boyfriend? Do you have any evidence to

prove that this check is yours?"

Skylar couldn’t stomach an insult like that. The only person who could prove that the check was hers

was Tobias.

Yet, thinking about Tobias gave her the shivers.

Great. Could this be any worse?
