In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 387

Serving Tobias a cup of tea, Harry quickly stepped aside because he dared not meddle in their affairs.

I just got to know that Ingrid still refuses to let Skylar off. What a madwoman. What about my next movie or show?

“Tobias, what are you talking about? I don’t get it.” With a grin, she feigned ignorance.

Tobias shot daggers at the seemingly innocent woman. His icy voice made everyone’s skin crawl. “I don’t care if you get it or not. Don’t think that everybody has to tolerate you solely because of your capricious way. If you ever mess with Skylar again, I’ll chop off your hand that sends her the text messages.”

Harry felt oppressed in the face of such a high-handed man. Should I kneel before Tobias and beg him to save me?

Ingrid’s breath hitched at his words. In a split second, she became agitated and shrieked, “Your woman seduces Harry first! I did that only to put Skylar in her place. Isn’t it a good thing for you as well?”

Marching over to her, Tobias glanced down at the woman. A few seconds later, he bent forward to stare into her eyes with a vicious gaze. “Cut the nonsense. Since no one taught you how to behave these years, I’ll do it then.”

With that, he stood up. Unrepentant, Ingrid let out a laugh brazenly. “Since young, Dad doted on me and never once wronged me. He still treats me the same now. Are you sure you want to burn your bridges?”

The corner of Tobias’ lips twitched up. His fingers gripped the cup handle as he replied slowly, “It’s alright that Dad didn’t teach you well. Someone else will do it for him once you leave home.”

Behind Ingrid, Harry’s palm was covered with cold sweat. The tall and burly man appeared timid and cowardly.

Staring at Harry, Tobias felt sorry for him.

I can’t think of any reason why a man like Harry is fond of Ingrid unless she intimidates and lures him into this. They’re poles apart and have nothing in common. Besides, she has put on much weight again. Even an ordinary man will be reluctant to be with an overweight woman like her.

Meanwhile, Ingrid didn’t have the nerve to blow a fuse in Tobias’ face, shrugging noncommittally. Still, her eyes flickered with fury as she simmered in bitterness. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

After Tobias left, she grabbed the vase and smashed it onto the floor, venting all her rage on Harry.

“What right does he have to say those words to me?” she bellowed hysterically.

Startled, Harry took several steps backward because he was afraid that Ingrid might take her fury out on him.

Picking up her phone, the woman sprawled on the couch. In the meantime, Harry was disgusted at the sight of her plump figure.

Other than being rich, Ingrid is completely worthless…

This was the first time he had ever seen her crying. Holding the phone, she was aggrieved while whining, “Dad, Tobias bullied me! He said he’s going to chop off my hand…”

On a private balcony, a waiter placed two sets of utensils and a six-tier dessert stand on a table.

Skylar, who had just sneaked out of her office, picked up a piece of cake and popped it into her mouth. However, the cake didn’t taste as delicious as she expected.

“The issue about the text messages has been solved. Ingrid is the one behind it. I remember telling you to keep a distance from Harry. Have you listened to me?”

His voice was melodious, yet the woman misunderstood that he looked for her so abruptly in the afternoon because she got on his nerves.

She smirked. “I see. She just can’t stop pestering me. I think she needs a psychiatrist, but not a man.”

Tobias squinted his eyes at her. “You seem to be involved in scandals with every actor you worked with before. Is it going to be the same this time?”

Skylar couldn’t tell if he was feeling jealous. He sounded as if he was only casually asking about it. The man had been lenient with her currently.

“I really have no idea what my company is doing. Have you seen the trending news on Twitter today? I’m going to be attacked soon.”
