Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 52

Skylar smirked disdainfully. “It’s no wonder they get to pick on anyone they want. I’ve never even pissed

them off.”

“Maybe you’re just too pretty,” Harry responded half-jokingly. “Some girls tend to be mean to those who

are prettier than them.”

Skylar stuck a band-aid on her arm. There were scratch marks on her neck too, but she felt bad using up

too many of Harry’s band-aids and returned the rest to him.

It was late into the night now. Skylar gazed out the window, feeling like she still had something else to

take care of.

Suddenly, it crossed her mind. Her phone was in silent mode, and Tobias had given her a call earlier.

She took out her phone and found two missed calls from Tobias.

At that, Skylar hurriedly returned the call so as to not anger him.

It took a long while for the man to answer his phone.

“Why didn’t you pick up?” That was the first thing Skylar heard Tobias say.

“I was busy. Did you need something from me?” Skylar asked while gazing at the scars on her neck

through a mirror.

“Hey, Skylar, are you going to use the shower yet, or should I go first?” Harry walked out of the bathroom

and asked in a loud and clear tone.

At that very moment, Skylar just wanted to die. She waved her hand in a panic, signaling Harry to shut

up.

Then, she let out a few coughs to hide her guilt. “The TV’s a little too loud. Let me lower the volume.”

“The female lead of a TV series happens to have the same name as you do?” Tobias’ voice was the

coldest it could ever be by now.

Still, Skylar put on a calm act. “Really? I didn’t hear it. You must have misheard.”

“I heard everything loud and clear. Where are you? Are you sleeping around with another man?”

Sweat began to drip down Skylar’s forehead. Why do I have such sh*t luck?

She could already imagine the look on Tobias’ face. The man probably wanted to kill her now.

“There weren’t enough rooms, so I’ve been assigned to share one with a guy from my class. Don’t get

the wrong idea.”

Skylar tried her best to explain herself, but in truth, even she would have a hard time believing herself if

she didn’t know any better.

In fact, the young woman wanted to tell Tobias that she had a man in her room – a handsome one at

that.

But she wasn’t ready to die yet.

“Do you think I’d believe that? Have you no shame, Skylar Jones?” The way Tobias spoke could instantly

send chills down one’s spine.

Seeing how unusually pale Skylar looked, Harry wanted to ask if she needed help. Yet, the lady merely

covered his mouth, reminding him to stay quiet.

“Well, there’s nothing I can do if you don’t believe me. You can always come over and see for yourself.

Anyway, my phone’s about to die. See ya.”

With that, Skylar hurriedly ended the call, feeling terrified to her bones. She couldn’t take it anymore. It

felt as though Tobias could murder her even through the phone.

Tobias pursed his lips upon hearing the cold beeping noise from over the line. Despite his eyes looking

like a pair of glaciers, the man was now boiling with anger while also feeling slightly pained.

The sounds of laughter filled his ears as he walked out of the study. Tanya’s parents had come and were

busy chatting away downstairs.

Seeing Tobias finally come down, Claudia waved at him. “Come over, Tobias. Your parents-in-law haven’t

seen you in a while.”

Tobias merely shot them a cold glance and said to Claudia, “I’m heading out. I have something to take

care of.”

“What could you be doing outside at this hour?” Claudia grumbled. “Your in-laws flew more than ten

hours just to come back.”

Tanya held Tobias by the arm, sounding rather unhappy. “No matter how busy work gets, there’s nothing

more important than family.”

Despite that, Tobias removed his arm from her grasp and remarked indifferently, “You can manage even

without me around.”

With that, the man left, and a cold glint flashed in Tanya’s narrowed eyes.
