Ironically, her most recent post was her clarifying that she had no boyfriend.
It was a slap to her face.
Noticing that something was up with Skylar, Tobias took her phone. The screen was still on the photo that had been
secretly taken.
Skylar’s face was visibly gradually becoming pale.
She said, “I’m so dead. Everyone probably knows by now that I’m a liar. Why did this suddenly happen? What
should I do now?”
In comparison, he replied calmly, “There’s nothing much to it. Let me know what you think. I’m fine with
cooperating with whatever you want.”
She then clasped her phone tightly, her actions betraying the extreme discomfort she felt in her heart.

identity is exposed, they’ll say that I did dirty things to marry rich… Also, my previous public image will collapse. I
haven’t even stabilized my position in the entertainment industry yet.” Since she knew what she wanted then, she
was firm when she spoke.
Tobias was upset by her blatant despise of him. He had made it clear that even if she publicly admitted that they
were dating, he would cooperate with her.
It was the first time he ever took the initiative to do that for a woman.
However, she did not even think twice before rejecting him. Am I that unwelcomed to her?
When met with such matters, Skylar seemed to have lost her resolve. She was not in the company then, so she did
not have anyone to help her monitor the public’s opinion.
Thus, she could only scroll through the comments by herself. She knew that Kate was probably with the public
relations team at that moment, working overtime to discuss countermeasures.
They probably had not thought of a good countermeasure yet. If they had, Kate would have let her known by then
so that she could follow instructions and cooperate.

Number Two wrote: My friend knows one of Skylar’s previous classmates. She says Skylar’s fierce and tough in
private. Her new man is a kept man who drives her car and stays in her villa.
After glancing through the comments, Skylar eventually laughed at the one calling Tobias a kept man.
She said, “The cost of spreading rumors nowadays is really low. As long as you say you have a friend or a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmclassmate, you can create your own story.”
Tobias sat on the sofa and cupped his chin as he stared at her with a deep look in his eyes. “I agree that it’s low, but
we also have to see who’s the person they’re spreading rumors about. Usually, for small news, those will be
automatically blocked and won’t be exposed. I’ve already gotten the Twitter system to block a few keywords about
you. Do you think that this has become such a huge issue only because of a few screenshots?”
If he had not reminded her, Skylar would really not have contemplated who was the one behind everything.
She sat down, frowning. “There’s no news from my manager. I’ve been stuck on Twitter’s trending list for quite a
while. I’m worried that if this continues dragging on, it’ll turn into an even greater problem. They’re all waiting for
me to explain now.”
Thinking that she was making a fuss, he asked, “Did they photograph us kissing? Or us hugging? There’s none of
that, so what’s there to be afraid of? You can say that it’s a friend. Isn’t it pretty normal for a friend to accompany
you to the drugstore?”
Skylar was getting increasingly anxious. But that’s a pregnancy test kit.
He continued helplessly, “Who on earth said you had to be so honest? Besides, it wasn’t even photographed, so
technically you can just say anything.”
