Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 3

Everyone in the private room was dumbfounded upon witnessing the scene. This crazy woman must

be courting death.

At that instant, Tobias grabbed Skylar’s arm and took her out of the room.-

However, Skylar was so drunk that she kept muttering barely coherent words. "You l-liar. T-That money

was to save a life!”

Tobias, on the other hand, felt that this woman was vile to the core, using liquid courage to scam him.

But he wasn't surprised either. After all, that night in the operating room, she had asked for an increase

at the very last minute. I gave her three million instead of the three hundred thousand she requested,

but she's still not satisfiedlShe didn't even waste a minute and came over hereiShe's been real busy, I

see.

Along the corridor, when Camila saw Tobias dragging a delirious Skylar out of the room, her face

blanched with horror.

For Tobias, ending someone’s life was as easy as killing an ant. After all, life was worthless in his eyes.

Thus, she hurried over in panic, knowing what Tobias was capable of. "Mr. Ford, I’m not sure what

happened, but Skylar here is our new recruit. She’s still young and ignorant, so please forgive her."

Tobias glanced coldly at the manager, his lips parting as he spoke, "This has nothing to do with you, so

get out of the way. I'll be taking her away right now."

Nonetheless, Camila replied tentatively, "She's only a promoter. Mr. Ford, we have many girls here.

Please allow me to introduce you to a few of them."

The moment Tobias spoke, the air seemed to thicken with a sense of oppression. "There's no such

thing as 'only a promoter' here. Since she’s an employee here, she should've been prepared for this

day."

In the meantime, Skylar was sitting unabashedly on the ground as her stomach churned. A few strands

of her disheveled hair were stuck to her lips as she hugged Tobias' legs, refusing to let go. "Liar. Isn't it

enough that you f**ked me up so bad? Huh?”

Hearing that, Camila exclaimed in shock, "Are you crazy, Skylar? Do you know what you're saying?"

Tobias' Adam's apple bobbed as if he was trying to control himself from doing something.

Clenching his fists, he said to Camila through gritted teeth, "Bring her purse over. I'm taking her away

tonight!"

The man was well-aware of the rules in Elysium. It was clearly stated that taking a girl's purse meant

taking the girl herself.

Stupefied, Camila watched Skylar being roughly hauled up by Tobias. He then lifted Skylar's chin and

smiled mockingly at her. "I'll give you the time to tell me in detail just how exactly I f**ked you up.”

Already gone off into the deep end, Skylar glared menacingly at Tobias. "I’m not going anywhere with

you. If you wanna come at me, just come at me here, Mister!”

Tobias' gaze darkened a fraction. "How much money do you want this time? Name your price and stop

pretending to be innocent."

Skylar met Tobias' intimidating gaze head-on, slurring when she said, "If I actually liked you, that'll be

free of charge! But now? Hah! In your dreams."

Camila was paralyzed to the spot and didn't dare to interfere anymore. If she got on Tobias' bad side, it

would be the end for Elysium.

Meanwhile, Tobias' eyes turned even colder, and there was also a hint of impatience in them. "Do I look

like a man with good self-control?"

Skylar sobered up quite a lot upon hearing this.

As he pushed open the door of the private room, Skylar winced from the stabbing pain in her wrist

caused by his bone-crushing grip.

Then he gestured at the men and women in the room. "Out. All of you”

At his succinct order, everyone scrambled from their seats and scurried off, not daring to stay a second

longer.

After that, Tobias ordered his bodyguard, Samuel, to guard the door and stop anyone from coming in.

Within half a minute, Tobias and Skylar were the only two people left in the room.

Freeing her hand from his tight grip, Skylar staggered backward. "What are you doing? Were you

serious?"

Regret filled her immediately, gushing in like waves. Why did I have to say all those things to provoke

him when I knew he's capable of doing anything? Skylar, you dunce, good job agitating the devil! It’s

not like you haven't experienced it before! Memories from that night in the operating room emerged in

her mind, sending a shiver down her spine as ice spread through her veins. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Tobias' gaze fell on Skylar's face. Glimpsing the fear in her eyes and the slight tremble of her lips, he

could tell that she was afraid.

Every inch of him screamed danger. When Skylar saw his hand move, panic seized her and suffocated

her.

There was no room for escape, but she had solemnly vowed never to do it again. Even if her life

depended on it.

On that night, she had already been utterly debased.

Tobias pushed her down onto the coffee table just then. The moment Skylar's back came in contact

with the cold marble slab, using the same trick, she reached out for a bottle to smash it on Tobias'

head.

Of course, she was no match for him. He clutched her wrist, and just like that, the bottle fell into his

hand.

Skylar's eyes widened upon seeing Tobias holding the bottle, and she screamed in fright.

Everything happened in a flash. She thought Tobias was going to smash it on her head, but after a long

time, the impact never came. Instead, the bottle was gently placed beside her, and the weight pressing

on her body was abruptly gone.

"Putting up a fight at every turn, I see. You’re bold, I'll give you that. But just how many lives do you

have to spare?"

Skylar recovered from her shock and met his eyes.

"If you're short of money, why don't you come under my wing? After all, I was still your first, Ms. Jones."

Tobias looked like a completely different person compared to the brutal and aggressive man just now,

as his features had softened to exude a gentle aura. Nevertheless, the words that came out of his

mouth ruined his gentle image.

He's still cruel and cold-hearted as always!

Skylar was ashen-faced. "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ford, but even if I die poor, I wouldn't want

to have the slightest involvement with you."

At that point, she did not dare to ask for money anymore. All she wished was to get as far away as

possible, lest the devil claim her life.

Tobias' lips slowly arched into a smile that was slightly mocking. "Fine. I won't force you."

Following that, the man left the room, and Skylar waited until she could no longer hear his footsteps

before exiting. The moment she emerged, Camila, who was still in shock, cried out, "Skylar, you almost

ruined Elysium. Don't you know who Tobias Ford is?"

Like a deflated balloon, Skylar said listlessly, "Who he is has nothing to do with me. By the way, can I

get the commission for the sales today, Camila? I need to pay the medical fees at the hospital

tomorrow."

Camila looked at Skylar and couldn't help but think she was the world's biggest idiot. "I really don't

understand you. You haven't even married into the family, but here you are, struggling to pay for your

boyfriend's bills. Once he's all cured, he'll dump you for sure. What are you gonna do when that

happens?"

After the scare caused by Tobias, Skylar was already pale with fatigue. She forced a smile and said,

"That's impossible. We've been together since junior high. A relationship that long won't fall apart so

easily. He said that he'll marry me once he’s discharged from the hospital-"

Her phone rang at that moment. It was her best friend, Penelope Quinn. She raised her phone, telling

Camila that she had to answer a call.

As soon as the call connected, Penelope's voice was so loud Skylar thought she had accidentally put

her on speaker. "Skylar, I saw Jeremy buying a bag for a girl just now. And it was a Hermes bag! Since

when is he so rich?"

Surprised, Skylar replied, "It can't be. You must be seeing things. He's still hospitalized, so how could

you have seen him buying a bag?" "For God's sake, Skylar, I have 20/20 vision. I'm telling you—it was

him! Besides, do you think I can't recognize Jeremy? He was even wearing his hospital gown

underneath his coat. Who else could it be?" Penelope answered with complete certainty.
