Fell Into His Love Trap novel Chapter 6

As one, the Lanes looked at Skylar.

To them, a poor nobody like her would never be acquainted with someone rich.

On the other hand, Skylar could not figure out Tobias' intentions.

In the meantime, Avery grew upset, frowning as she questioned, "Who is Mr. Ford, and why did he give you a bottle of wine?"

Skylar raised her brows, huffing out a laugh. "Do you have a problem with that? Did you think I was completely friendless? Anyway, I don't owe you an answer."

Unsatisfied with her response, Jeremy grabbed Skylar's wrist, his eyes flashing with anger. "What kind of people did you get involved in? I'm your

boyfriend! Why didn't I know about this?"

Furrowing her brows, Skylar flung his hand away and snapped, "Hah! How dare you question me! Apparently, there's much I don't know about you too!"

"This is different!" Jeremy took a deep breath.

Skylar was truly disappointed with him, but she could not muster up the courage to break things off with him just yet.

She needed time to calm down.

Grabbing her bag, she stood up and announced, "Enjoy your meal. Guess I won't have to annoy you with my presence any longer."

Seeing that Skylar about to leave, no one tried to stop her.

'TH call you later," Jeremy curtly said.

Not wanting to seem rude, Skylar hummed a response.

Once she stepped out of the room, the dam broke, and tears flowed freely down her cheeks.

Unable to control herself, she squatted on the ground and cried her heart out.

Her bestie, Penelope, was right. Faithful men did not exist in this world.

She had done so much for Jeremy; they were supposed to get married.

In the end, he brought her sister and humiliated her in front of his entire family.

Every time, Avery would easily get what she could only dream of getting.

Today was no different; Avery had looked at her with so much disdain in her eyes, as if she were a mere speck of dust beneath her shoes.

Everything that happened just now was like a knife piercing into her heart, the pain unbearable.

"Why are you crying every time I see you? Aren’t you a sentimental one," a deep voice came from above her.

Skylar raised her head up in mortification, her body instantly tensing up when she saw Tobias.

"It's none of your business. Just to be clear, you willingly gave that bottle of wine. I don't have the money to pay you back," she spoke in a trembling voice.

A vague smile formed on Tobias' lips. "It's fine.

You could spend a night with me to make up for it."

Panic surged in Skylar’s chest when she heard what he said.

Her heart clenched in horror, and she wailed even louder just then.

Nevertheless, Tobias remained impassive. Even a woman's tears could not evoke a reaction out of him.

"Mr. Ford..."

Avery, who came out of the room, could hardly believe her eyes.

The man was indeed Tobias Ford-a business tycoon who possessed a fortune that could rival the entire nation’s.

Avery only met Tobias once at a business dinner, but he left a deep impression on her nonetheless.

No matter where Tobias was, he could eclipse everything around him in an instant and draw all the attention to himself.

To have the chance to meet him in person, her father had waited for three years before he was eligible to attend that business dinner.

At the dinner, Tobias was apathetic at best toward her father, barely saying a few words to him.

What's Skylar doing with Tobias Ford? They're basically apples and oranges.

"Mr. Ford, do you remember me? Not too long ago, I was at the business..."

Tobias remained expressionless as he cut Avery off sharply, "I don't."

Skylar, who was still crouching at the side, did not want Avery to see her cry because that would be disastrous. She had enough humiliation in a day, and to have Avery mocking her would be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

Clenching her fists, she struggled to stabilize her emotions before wiping away her tears with her sleeves.
