Tobias arched an eyebrow in frustration. “Oh… So, you like younger guys, huh? Getting tired of me because I’m old now, eh?”
I’m only in my thirties, but I suppose I am considered old compared to those young guys in their teens…
Skylar narrowed her eyes at Tobias and said with a chuckle, “Nah, young guys are way too immature! Older men like you are much better at taking care of others. I mean, just look at how well you’re taking care of me!”
Tobias had already changed the phone’s wallpaper back to the original one. He had to admit that he didn’t really take care of Skylar all that well as he had wanted her to be more independent. It was only when she encountered problems that she couldn’t solve on her own that he would step in to help her out. That was the best way to remind her of how important he was.
Skylar headed over to the police station and pulled some strings to meet the fat guy who kissed her by force the other day. Had she not felt something off about the incident, she would never have wanted to see his ugly face ever again. If anything, she wanted nothing more than to stitch his mouth up permanently.
The fat guy no longer reacted excitedly when he saw her and simply shot her an indignant glare in response. From what she heard, the police had kept him there for a week and was going to release him in two days, a punishment that Skylar deemed too light for his crime.
“What you did the other day… Did you do it out of your own accord, or were you acting under someone else’s orders?” Skylar asked, her face mask making it impossible to see her facial expressions.
The fat guy ran his eyes all over her body and broke into a lecherous grin. “I simply couldn’t help myself because of how hot you are. Man, everyone’s so jealous of me right now! I mean, kissing a female celebrity is something I could brag about for the rest of my life! How was my embrace? Did you like it? I’ll be sure to visit you often once they let me out of here!”
Skylar clenched her teeth in disgust. “What you just said counts as a criminal threat and can be added on to your existing crime if I decide to sue you for it. However, I’ll consider letting you go if you tell me who sent you.”
The fat guy snorted in disdain. “Pfft! No one sent me, and so what if someone did? I’ll be out in two days, so there’s nothing you can do to me! Do you even know who I am? I’m the king of West Street! There isn’t a single woman that I can’t get my hands on!”
I’ve had someone conducted a background check on this guy. His name is Charles Walker. He’s an unemployed hooligan and has spent the past few years going in and out of prison, so being held at the station for a week means nothing to him. There’s no way I can threaten a ruthless guy like him… Charles may not admit to anything, but my instincts are telling me there’s more to this than meets the eye!
With that in mind, Skylar ended the visit in frustration.
“See? What did I tell you? No one is trying to sabotage you, Skylar! I mean, why would anyone do that? We haven’t made any enemies in the entertainment industry!” Hannah who was with her said with a slightly smug grin on her face.
Skylar kept quiet as she began plotting how she would force Charles to talk after his release from the police station.
Hannah kept her head low and her eyes glued to her phone as she texted with a huge smile the whole time.
She had told Skylar about her boyfriend once a while back and never brought it up again ever since. However, it was obvious from her behavior and constant texting that she was still in a love bubble at the time.
“Do you and your boyfriend have that much in common? I haven’t seen you two run out of topics to talk about!” Skylar asked out of concern.
