Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 544

Skylar tried to explain to her. “My Mom doesn’t have any bad intentions. She doesn’t think when she

speaks. Just ignore her.”

“You know, my daughter-in-law is going to birth soon, and she has been calling me to go home to take

care of the baby,” Madelyn continued to express her dismay, “Even if I don’t get to go home, she hoped

that I could support her financially. But with my low wage, how much can I give her?”

“I’m afraid I can’t work here anymore, Ms. Jones. Please hire someone willing to work for the salary you

pay.” Madelyn shot a glance at Skylar as if she was trying to test the waters. She knew Skylar would not

want to go through the hassle of hiring another housekeeper, so she waited quietly for Skylar to make

her a better offer.

Skylar wanted to know how much Madelyn wanted because she did not want to deal with another

stranger in the house.

But before she could open her mouth, Tobias got downstairs and stood beside her.

He shot a sullen glare at Madelyn, causing her to lower her head. She instantly regretted voicing her

demand when Tobias was around.

Tobias must have heard the conversation she had with Skylar earlier. “You don’t want to work anymore?

Pack your stuff and leave right now. Don’t force yourself to work since you’re always tired. Find yourself a

new employer who can give you better pay.”

Skylar was ready to increase Madelyn’s pay, but Tobias decided to get rid of her without any hesitation.

Madelyn thought she could have her way with Skylar, but when Tobias stepped in, she knew she did not

stand a chance to negotiate anymore.

She immediately played the sympathy card. “That’s not what I meant, Mr. Ford. Ms. Jones treats me well,

and I enjoy working here. I’ll tell my son to take care of their own baby later.”

Skylar’s jaw dropped upon seeing Madelyn’s complete attitude change.

What Miranda said to her earlier made sense now. People simply take advantage of my kindness and

step all over me.

Thanks to Tobias, Skylar finally knew Madelyn was emotionally blackmailing her. She did not intend to

quit at all.

Skylar had been treating Madelyn like her family member, yet this was what she got in return. This

incident had caused Skylar to lose faith in humanity.

She went back to her room and sat by the bed. She did not go through the TikTok videos like she always

did despite having twenty million followers, which the app had supplied her.

Instead, she reflected upon how soft-hearted she was. All this while, she always put people’s interests

before hers, and more often than not, she found herself suffered in silence.

If she were a character in a historical drama about royal family feuds, the villain would have easily gotten

rid of her by episode two.

Though the phone kept sending out the low-battery signal, Skylar did not bother to charge it. Since Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Tobias did not like to see her playing with her phone, she decided to ignore it.

It was Tobias who plugged her phone into the charger. Upon seeing the wallpaper on the screen, he

snorted. It was a picture of a teenage male celebrity. Why did she use a young boy’s photo as her

wallpaper? Does she know how old she is?

While Skylar was slowly removing her earrings, she noticed Tobias was staring at the picture. She

smiled. “Is he handsome? This boy is only seventeen years old, can you believe it? These good-looking

young boys are stealing the hearts of older women like us.”
