Chapter 361
Skylar acted as she believed him, but she could not help but suspect deep down in her heart. When I’m not around, has he been seeing another woman? Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
She had no idea what type of sport Tobias had in mind, so she casually changed into some activewear. Her face looked even tinier under the baseball cap.
The minute they were heading out, she suddenly remembered something. “What about the meatloaf?”
“I’m not eating that!”
Tobias’ unthoughtful response broke her heart.
Later, they arrived at the golf club, where Skylar saw Brayden and a few more strangers around the same age as Tobias.
All of them had the same charisma of passion and wealth.
Almost all of Tobias’ friends had heard about his new girlfriend, and one of them recognized Skylar right away.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Ford to have gotten into the entertainment industry.” The man who recognized Skylar was John Carson, the owner of Countryfuse Pictures.
Compared to the last hangout with Tobias’ friends, Skylar noticed this bunch of people seemed civilized; they were especially more polite towards ladies.
To Skylar’s amazement, Brayden had also brought along a female company.
She could not help but whisper curiously into Tobias’ ear, “Who’s that woman with Brayden?”
“His wife…” Tobias replied.
Skylar could not imagine how Penelope, pregnant at home, would feel if she found out Brayden was bringing his wife to play golf.
After all, when rich people came to the golf club, their real intention was not to play golf most of the time.
Their primary purpose would usually be the business conversation over the dinner table after the golf session.
And so when Skylar overheard them mention Quest Group, she turned extraordinarily interested.
One of them said provocatively, “Thomas seems desperate this time. I heard that he is going to marry his daughter to the rich to rescue the fate of Quest Group.”
Tobias asked, “Which daughter?”
The others were puzzled by his question. “Thomas has only got one daughter, doesn’t he?”
Skylar tried hard to disguise her emotions. Thomas has hidden his secret well. Who would’ve believed that he has two daughters?
At that moment, Tobias suddenly added, “I’m planning to take over Quest Group.”
His statement left the whole room speechless. That was, without doubt, an investment that would provide no returns. It was hard to believe someone would actually considering investing in a rotten industry.
Brayden was the only one who knew the real reason behind Tobias’ investment – to please his woman. But Brayden doubted if the price was overly unworthy.
A big boss always plays big.
While everyone present was advising Tobias to reconsider his decision, he suddenly said faintly, “I’ll need all your help to resolve the mess in Quest Group. It shouldn’t be a big issue as long as we find a profitable way to clear the debts.”
Skylar moved away from the group then, not being able to bear listening further on the topic.
She randomly picked up a golf club and stared into the vast field. She had no idea how to hit the golf ball.
Just then, Tobias appeared by her side and pulled her into his embrace gently, whispering in her ear. “Let me teach you. Don’t feel bored while you accompany me here. You should try to blend in with my social group so that we can all have a similar lifestyle. We still have a lifetime ahead of us.”
At the dinner table, Brayden was busy putting food on his wife’s plate. He recalled that Penelope mentioned his wife looks old and faded after giving birth to a few children. Penelope had even commented that no man would ever be attracted to his wife.
Brayden had no clue how Penelope had gotten to this conclusion. He wondered if she merely intended to induce conflict into their marriage.
Brayden’s wife, namely Zelda, was a gorgeous woman with an elegant look and the perfect body. No wrinkle of age could be observed on her face, and her behavior was modest, given that she was someone from a family of status.
In fact, Penelope was like a speck of dust if compared with Zelda.
