Just as Skylar was ready to straddle her feet, her arm was grabbed by Tobias and she could feel her bone about to fracture in his grip.
She was going to scream in pain when she was thrown off balance and bumped straight into Tobias’ embrace. His sturdy chest almost crushed her nose.
Tobias lowered his head and his voice came very lowly from above Skylar. “Try moving another step and I’ll cripple you.”
Skylar could feel the murderous hint in the air.
It was obvious that he was exasperated.
Jackson got down from his scooter and looked at them. With an aggrieved expression, he asked Skylar, “Haven’t we agreed on this? How come there’s another man now? My family has paid you three hundred thousand. Are you scamming us?”
Tobias took a brief glance at the simple-hearted Jackson, fished out his phone, and handed it to him. “Enter your card number here and I’ll transfer the money to you.”
“Our relationship can’t be bought off with money.” Jackson grabbed the phone and thrust it against the ground.
Skylar was taken aback by Jackson’s reaction and was a little anxious at the same time. It was a great surprise for her to find out that such a naïve and cowardly man like Jackson actually had a manly side as well.
When they were studying together back then, he was always bullied by the other male classmates, and never once did he counter their attack, be it physical or verbal.
By degrees, Tobias’ eyes were lit with hostility and his tone was bitingly cold. “What an ingrate!”
As he finished his words, Skylar was quick to take the initiative to wrap her arms around his waist while she leaned her head against his chest and spoke fawningly, “I’ll go with you. Don’t trouble him.”
Regardless, Jackson was her former classmate. Skylar was truly afraid that Tobias would finish him off.
Tobias’ face looked like hell and his wrath had even spread on to Skylar. “Get in the car and go back with me. This matter will be resolved tomorrow.”
Though frightened by the intimidating vibe wafting from the man in front of him, Jackson continued to beseech Skylar. “Skylar, please don’t leave with him. Don’t go breaking my heart. I really like you. I love you to the bones and I can’t live without you.”
At that moment, Skylar really wished to find some tapes to seal Jackson’s mouth.
