Skylar furrowed her eyebrows in response. Before she saw the earlier message, she could still trust him. However,
now that Idania had come in between them, her trust could only be earned if he blocked Idania.
With a resolute gaze, she asked, “Can you show me your phone? If she isn’t feeling well, she can look for someone
else instead of complaining to you in the middle of the night.”
Tobias snapped, “Don’t think that this is absurd? Have I spoilt you? You are making a fuss over nothing. There’s
nothing going on between us. It’s up to you whether you believe it or not.”
Skylar stared blankly at Tobias’ silhouette as he left. She had expected him to react badly to her actions.
However, she didn’t imagine that it would be to that extent.
Having watched both of them quietly, Madelyn cleared her throat and casually commented, “Throughout my years
of working as a maid, I have seen such cases one too many times. Men always behave this way. But, I admire all

husband’s infidelity and live their lives in denial.”
Skylar was still staring intently in Tobias’ direction while suppressing the exasperation in her heart.
Cognizant that making a big fuss would be detrimental to their relationship, she chose to restrain herself.
Nonetheless, Tobias still looked at her as if she was crazy.
He really doesn’t know how to spoil a woman at all.
Skylar retorted, “Why must I live in denial? I ended up in this situation precisely because I did that previously.”
Since Tobias wasn’t going to block Idania, she decided to act decisively by meeting the “pitiful” lady herself. Given
that she knows Tobias has a girlfriend, why must she seek comfort from him in the middle of the night?
Meanwhile, the posters that Skylar had shot for Gucci had been put up in all their branches. In it, she was dressed in
period-style spring wear matched with a maroon-colored wig. The inspiration for her makeup was from medieval
palace courts. Accentuating her features, helped her exude an air of old-world charm and nobility.
Standing in front of the posters, Avery clenched her sleeves and gritted her teeth.
She couldn’t stand how someone who couldn’t afford Gucci had now become its regional spokesperson.
Meanwhile, Charles emerged behind her breathing heavily. Without the need to look, Avery knew it was him the
moment she smelled the intense body odor he emitted.
Holding her nose, she turned around in resentment. “Why can’t you put on some cologne before you come and see
me. The stench you’re emitting is absolutely disgusting.”
Raising his flabby arms, Charles smelled his armpit. “It’s not as bad you make it out to be. I have spent a week at
the detention center and forgot to bathe before I came.”
Avery was utterly disgusted. If not for Charles, she would have never known that men were capable of being so
filthy.

ambushed her during one of her events, both of them looked perfect together.
The more Avery thought about it, the more she felt Skylar had gotten off too lightly compared to a famous scandal
some time ago.
Back then, a famous actress was kidnapped by mobsters. They took nude pictures of her and took turns to sully
her. Furthermore, the whole process was caught on video. Twenty years later, one could still find it on the internet.
The actress was devastated after the incident. Later on, she committed suicide at home by overdosing herself as
she could no longer bear the humiliation.
If only Skylar and Charles could be put together. As the image of both of them flashed across her mind, Avery
couldn’t resist but smile in glee.
Just as Charles was digging into his burger, Avery rolled her eyes at him. She had bought him lunch but didn’t order
anything herself. She had lost her appetite just by looking at his face.
