Chapter 587 Tell Me If You Want Me
In the end, Kevin’s matter was indeed related to her. The Jones siblings clearly didn’t want to see her living a good life. As long as she had a difficult time, they would be happy.
Skylar wondered if she had ruffle their feathers in her past life to get such treatment from them.
Skylar said in a little guilty tone, “If it wasn’t because of me, Kevin wouldn’t have ended up this way. His future is almost ruined now. I heard that he was even expelled from school and wouldn’t have the chance to go to college anymore. He’ll stay this way all his life.”
Seeing the altruistic ways that Skylar went about things, Tobias came to learn by degrees that if he wasn’t by her side, Skylar would have a very difficult path ahead of her. He would rather Skylar be more selfish and not consider too much. In fact, it would be best if she could be self-centered.
“I’ll arrange for someone to get the money back. I would take back exactly how much Hayden had taken and I would force him to surrender it. What do you plan to do with the money?”
Skylar knew that Tobias was hoping to hear a satisfactory answer from her.
Nevertheless, it didn’t go as he wished. She spoke her mind, “Just return it to them. Let them use the money to pay for what they owed, then they wouldn’t need to sell the house anymore. It’s fine to let them stay in the old manor.”
Tobias watched her dazed expression and asked, “This is one of the rare opportunities to make Wesley sell the old manor. Isn’t it important to you?”
Skylar nodded. “It is, but I can’t take advantage of them. When Grandma was still alive, the only person she was reluctant to leave behind was Uncle Wesley. She said that he didn’t accomplish anything even as he was getting old. If I continue to press him on like this, Grandma would definitely blame me. Even though the manor was important to me, I don’t mind who is living in it. As long as it remains there, I’ll be at ease.”
Tobias was eager to find out Skylar’s stance, but the answer Skylar gave him wasn’t what he desired to hear.
If Skylar had told him that the manor was only a material possession and didn’t matter as much, he would instruct his staff to initiate the construction right away, and Harbourside would be razed to the ground, paving the way for his commercial area development plan.
