Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 567

As Skylar had invested all her money, she hardly had any cash left. Pacing around frantically, she was

overwhelmed by anxiety. She just couldn’t accept that there might be strangers living in her old house. If

Grandma knew about it, she would turn in her grave and accuse me of failing to protect her home.

Tobias had expected her to deal with the matter calmly. But given her current reaction, he knew she had

become a bundle of nerves.

He explained to her, “Your cousin’s problem is akin to a bottomless pit which you can never fill. You

shouldn’t have helped him the last time as it has caused him to feel that there are barely any

consequences to his actions. Do you understand what I mean? If I were you, I would not compromise

even if his creditors tried to kill him.”

Furrowing her eyebrows, Skylar asked helplessly, “Is there really no other way other than selling the

house? Why are children so frighteningly rebellious nowadays. If he was my son, I would have given him

a good beating.”

Tobias couldn’t imagine what Skylar would be like as a mother. Given how soft-hearted she was, the

children would definitely take advantage of her good nature.

“By selling their house to you, wouldn’t the problem be solved? After all, haven’t you always coveted their

home. Now that you finally have the opportunity, why don’t you seize it? If you don’t have enough money,

I can help you out,” Tobias elaborated casually while Skylar walked out of the kitchen with some snacks.

The world is just too depressing. But, I can cheer myself up with snacks. However, they will make me fat,

which makes me even more depressed.

Passing some of them to Tobias, she opened a bag of chips while checking the mutual funds she bought.

However, all of them were in the red.

If she liquidated them to buy the house, she would lose a ton of money. A few million would go up in

smoke just like that.

Feeling lost, she explained her situation honestly, “I don’t have enough money to buy it. Even if I did,

Uncle Wesley wouldn’t move out if he knows I’m the owner. He won’t even change the name to the title

deed.”

Looking affectionately at Skylar’s frowning face, Tobias replied with a smile, “You don’t have to tell them.

Furthermore, they wouldn’t sell the house so easily too. So, there’s no need for you to feel anxious as

they should be the ones feeling the heat. Given the amount of money borrowed, it must definitely be from

loan sharks. As they have very harsh methods, your uncle would likely not be able to hold up for long.”

However, Skylar began to worry that the creditors might even ask her for the money. Just the morning

itself, she had received a few calls from unknown numbers. However, they had all been blocked by her.

her like a cash cow because they thought celebrities made a lot of money. Furthermore, they assumed

they were all entitled to spend it just because they were her relatives.

Tobias reassured her calmly, “You had better calm down and give it some proper thought. There will be a

solution. You can’t just waver and help him like the last time as you will end up harming him instead. If he

were my brother, I would have let him resolve it himself. In the event he is unable to pay back the money,

I will let him sleep in the bed he made.”

That was how Tobias treated Sheldon. He allowed Sheldon to do whatever he wanted as long as he

doesn’t involve the Ford family. Whatever trouble he got into, he would have to deal with them himself.

As Skylar munched on her snacks, her eye stared blankly in thought. The more she thought about it the

more it didn’t make sense to her. How did Kevin get to know these people as he is still a student? He

must have been targeted by someone who wanted to trick him.

But why are they interested in him? Usually, they are only interested in those whose properties are

earmarked for redevelopment. Knowing that these people would be compensated, the scammers would

ensnare them with gambling.

After all, becoming rich overnight had caused many people to lose their rational minds.

Meanwhile, Skylar promised Wesley that she would think about it and give them an answer in three days.

However, she still couldn’t decide after giving it a lot of thought.
