Chapter 428
“It’s the wrong order. They gave us someone else’s food. I’m going to swap it back.”
“I don’t mind. It’s just food,” Tobias felt indifferent.
“Their order cost ten times more than ours. Can you actually eat it? Won’t you just be robbing them by doing that?”
It was right at that moment that Tobias found out about the price of Skylar’s takeaway. You’re really something else. A measly thirty for dinner? That’s ridiculous!
Skylar proceeded to leave her room, still wearing the slippers that the hotel provided, and headed two levels below via elevator and found Largo’s room.
She knocked on the door with the food in hand, and to her surprise, it was Avery who opened the door for her.
Avery took a few days off from the commercial shoot, but did not appear at the set. Instead, she was in Largo’s room.
“Why are you knocking on the door this late into the night?” Avery sounded hostile. “You are here to find out who’s in Largo’s room?”
Meanwhile, Largo slowly approached the door when he heard the commotion. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Skylar smiled. “That doesn’t concern me. I’m just here to get my order.”
Largo had a playful yet awkward look on his face as he explained to Skylar. “Avery’s here to return my charger. I was at a loss when I saw the braised chicken. But aren’t you on a diet right now? Why are you eating in the middle of the night?”
Avery immediately took the bag that Skylar had with her. “I still have lines I need to run through with Mr. Zeller, you can leave now, or do you want to take a bite before you go?”
Skylar’s lips curled as she took her order from Largo, leaving right after. She did not want to bother the two any longer as she had confirmed what she wanted to know.
After Avery closed the door, she turned towards Largo, gritting her teeth as she spoke, “Is being with me that embarrassing to you? Why did you have to tell her that I’m here to return something? Are you afraid that she might misunderstand? Are you interested in her too? No wonder people say she’s just like her mother, a slut that goes around seducing men. She must be on heat every time she sees one.”
“Do you know her?” Largo stopped eating and asked casually. “You look so delicate, but the way you talk is the polar opposite.”
Right then, Avery realized how vulgar she was, she changed her expression immediately and looked towards Largo with innocent eyes. “I despise her. There’s something I’ve never told anyone about, so please keep it a secret. The truth is, Skylar is my half-sister. Her mother tried to seduce my father but failed, causing her to commit murder. Her mother killed my aunt. How could I not hate her?”
Hearing that, Largo raised an eyebrow. He never expected that Skylar and Avery had such a complicated relationship.
“Don’t get fooled by her appearance. She’s a terrible person. She never had friends in school and was a petty thief.” Avery’s tone would be riddled with resentment whenever she talked about Skylar. “She was just a teenager when she started walking the streets because her family was poor. Can you imagine the number of men she slept with to reach her current status?”
When she finished, Largo threw the food that Skylar returned into the trash can. “What a waste of such a beautiful face. Then again, to each their own. She made her choice, so there’s no point in judging her for
it.” Largo’s eyes were gentle yet hinted with disgust.
Avery wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and rested her head on his back. “Maybe I’m the only one that can’t stand it. My mother taught me that girls need to have self-respect. Skylar wasn’t really educated, so it’s to be expected.”
