Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 763 Women Love With Their Ears

“Don't women love with their ears? When you were with Jeremy, you were glued to your phone all day. You even chatted for a long time before you went to bed at night. When his mom found out and wanted to confiscate his phone, you even saved money to get him a phone. In the end, I even chipped in to help you buy a phone for him,” Penelope pointed out, baffled.

If Penelope had not brought it up, Skylar would have forgotten about it, as it had been a long time ago.

Back then, she seemed to have endless topics to chat about with Jeremy, probably because they were ordinary people with similar social circles and lifestyles.

When she was talking on the phone with Tobias, they would have nothing to say in less than two minutes and would have to hang up.

The driver drove all the way to Hallsbay, and they arrived on time. Skylar hurried into the hotel to attend the cocktail reception of a brand.

With her short hair, a pair of jeans, and a sweater, she would look like a university student if she carried a backpack.

She also met Sheldon's new girlfriend, Lilian, there. Compared to Lilian, she thought that Winnie was no match for her.

Lilian was an online influencer who owned a reputable store on Amazon, unlike those typical live streamers.

She was good at making money as her store business was booming.

Recently, Skylar even saw a rumor on Instagram that Sheldon spent a lot of money and gave Lilian a high-end residential unit with a market value of eighty million.

It seemed that Tobias had stopped financially controlling Sheldon. Skylar could somewhat understand why Tobias was so harsh on Sheldon at the time.

As the brand ambassador, Skylar got on the stage to make an appearance and took a few photos with a smile, as requested.

Standing on the stage, Penelope fixed her gaze on Brayden, who was dressed in a silver-gray suit, looking as attractive as before. With high spirits, he was talking and laughing happily with the people around him with a wine glass in his hand.

Penelope looked at her reflection on a reflective surface. I look like such a mess. This won't make Brayden feel the slightest trace of guilt, will it?

While on the stage, Skylar also saw Brayden, which caused her lips to twitch slightly. What a small world. I can't believe I see him here. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

She kept giving Penelope looks, but the latter had her eyes glued to Brayden and did not seem to notice what Skylar did.

Lilian noticed that something was wrong and said to her friends, “What's wrong with Skylar? It looks like she's in a rush to get off stage. She is really pretty, though. It'll be nice if she can be our brand ambassador if our store expands.”

She had also told Sheldon before that Skylar was her favorite female celebrity.

Yet, she did not know the relationship between Sheldon and Skylar. Sheldon would often say, “She's indeed pretty. That's why she can use her beauty as capital to get what she wants.”

With a wine glass in hand, Lilian walked up to Skylar. Seeing an online influencer up close, Skylar found that Lilian's good looks were not impressive at all without all the image editing and camera filters. The latter was not ugly, but she was definitely not particularly beautiful either.

She was still graceful, but her voice was hoarse and croaky.

After a brief small talk with Lilian, Skylar had a hunch that Sheldon would not be able to handle this type of woman compared to Winnie.

Winnie was a brainless opportunist who ended up breaking up with Sheldon. It was an ugly breakup that left them on bad terms, making Sheldon despise her.

Ever since the breakup, Winnie's career had plummeted, and she had reached the point where she was not offered any role in films.

Penelope could not come to her senses all the while. At the same time, Brayden did not expect to bump into her on such an occasion. Their daughter was almost one year old by then, and they had never seen each other until then.

With one hand in his pocket, Brayden walked up to Penelope with a smile as gentle as ever and greeted, “It's been a while. Have you gotten back in shape? Did you come here with Skylar?”
