Kevin looked like he was about to cry. “I wish for the same too! But how do I go to school now? The debt collectors
even waited for me outside the school. If I didn’t solve this issue as soon as possible, I would be expelled from
school. I didn’t even say anything bad about you on Twitter. I was just sad fishing online and hoping to get some
donation.”
Feeling guilty, Lauren kept on lowering her head. She chewed the dish for a long time but did not swallow. She was
afraid that Skylar would notice it was her who had been bringing Kevin for gambling.
Finally, Tobias could not take it anymore. He said with a cold tone, “Do you think you deserve sympathy? You
wouldn’t be so calm to post anything on the internet if you were really that desperate to find a solution. You are just
forcing Skylar to compromise. You know that she would help you sooner or later. It didn’t cost you much for making
mistakes. By the way, Skylar is not your parent. So, it’s not her responsibility to clean up your mess for you.”
Kevin was afraid of Tobias. He lowered his head when Tobias was talking and didn’t dare to say anything back.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSkylar suddenly remembered Tobias saying that Kevin was unrepentant. He had no regret for whatever he had
done. Instead, Kevin would think that Skylar was a selfish person who betrayed her own family if she refused to help
him.
Hence, she decided to be selfish for once. She put all of her cards on the table. “I won’t post anything on Twitter for
clarification. This is the last chance I am giving you. I don’t want your life to be ruined by public opinions at such a
young age. However, I won’t give you money either. This is your parents’ business. I couldn’t care less even if
you’ve been driven into a corner.”
Skylar was very determined. The situation turned out to be entirely different from how Kevin had expected it to be.
He said, “This is beyond humiliating. Selling the house is not going to help this time. I lost more than one million
again last night. It’s all my fault for being too greedy. I was eager to win all my money back in one shot.”
Skylar closed her eyes and took a deep breath. What do I expect? Tobias was right about it. Kevin was hopeless. It
was as if he fell down and got stuck in the mud. Nobody could help him get out.
Tobias felt something off in Kevin’s words. It is almost impossible for a student who doesn’t have the ability to pay
off his debts to place bets in the millions. There must be something fishy.
Skylar slammed her hand on the table. She was bursting with anger. “Why can’t you just learn your lesson? Why do
you have to do this to yourself?”
Kevin propped his face on his hand, with a serious and painful expression on his face.
There was nothing Skylar could do. She said, “You’re on your own. You must own up to your mistakes. Don’t ever try
to pull any tricks on me.”
As soon as she finished talking, Skylar heaved a sigh of relief. It was not as difficult as she expected to reject him.
She felt much more relieved after saying those words.
Tobias was glad that Skylar had finally learned the lesson well. Now, he needed to get someone to buy over that old
manor and transfer it to Skylar.
Since she treasured that old manor that much, then he must let her have it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKevin glared at her with resentment in his eyes. “Skylar, aren’t you afraid that I’ll hate you for the rest of my life?
Obviously, it was not a big deal for you. You’re pushing me into a corner.”
Tobias reprimanded him coldly, “You’re too young. So, I can’t really treat you in a formal way as if I’m dealing in
business. Stop putting Skylar in a difficult position. She is your cousin, not your sister; so that’s different. You can
totally seek help from your sister.”
Kevin felt a strong sense of defeat. He had never felt so helpless in his life. He was getting out of luck. He couldn’t
win at all.
After Tobias and Skylar left, Lauren only dared to speak loudly. She stared angrily at Kevin, “Wake up! Your Twitter
post doesn’t help at all. Skylar didn’t seem to care about you at all. It’s too easy for being your cousin.”
Clenching his fists, Kevin furiously punched the table. His punch was so powerful that even the cups on the table
moved a little due to the vibration.
“Keep this card with you. There’s three million in the card. Use this money to buy over the old manor. Then, go look
for someone who is reliable and put the house under her name.” Inside the car, he took out the bank card from the
armrest compartment and handed it to Skylar.
