Chapter 441
Largo felt ashamed of Avery. Her mincing ways made her look childish, almost like a low-grade actress from a budget film.
Several microphones were thrust into Skylar’s face all at once. She was busy rolling her eyes at what Avery had said. She refused to dignify Avery’s claims with a response, merely letting her eloquent expression speak for itself.
Skylar and Largo watched Avery’s performance in mutual silence. Largo regretted ever having gotten involved with a stupid woman like her. He felt tainted by every interaction he’d ever had with such a loathsome woman.
Skylar and Largo coasted through the rest of the reporter’s eager questions rather superficially. Unlike Avery, they were unwilling to expose themselves unnecessarily.
At the end of the interview, however, Skylar gave the reporters a courteous nod, saying, “Thank you for your time.”
Avery looked annoyed by Skylar’s winning gesture of humility, telling herself jealously that it was all an act. The sight of Skylar and Largo pictured together in the media, albeit for a work reason, enraged Avery.
Avery seemed to have totally forgotten about her own vile behavior in the past. She was instead entirely obsessed with highlighting Skylar’s flaws. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“So, have you decided?” Barely five minutes after Skylar had returned to her motorhome, Largo strode in without knocking.
Skylar, who had just drank a mouthful of hot tea, almost choked.
She made no effort to disguise her resentment towards Largo. Skylar felt repulsed by him. Largo had shot to fame early in his career and had undoubtedly accumulated millions by now. Why, then, was it necessary for him to moonlight as a pimp? Skylar considered. He’d even dragged Cassidy into his perverse sales pitch.
Skylar guessed that Cassidy’s wild, reckless behavior could be attributed largely to the manipulations of this enigmatic sponsor.
She set her thermos flask down on the table, then crossed her legs and stared insolently at Largo. “Who exactly is the sugar daddy you keep referring to? Shouldn’t I get to know his identity as proof of his sincerity first?”
“Do you know Tobias?” Largo replied.
Skylar gaped at him. What kind of ruse is this? She thought, alarm bells ringing in her head. Has Tobias been secretly sponsoring women behind my back? Didn’t he say that he had nothing to do with Cassidy at all?
In an icy tone, Skylar demanded, “Are you saying that the man who wants to sponsor me is Tobias? Was he the one who tormented Cassidy?”
Largo was evidently perplexed by the vehemence of Skylar’s response. He had not expected her to be capable of such ire.
“I’m talking about Xander, Tobias’ father. Think about what he’s capable of with his wealth and influence before you decide to reject my proposal,” Largo said hurriedly.
This revelation was no less appalling to Skylar than the previous one. She felt relieved that it wasn’t Tobias. However, it was entirely absurd that she would chance upon Xander’s heinous deeds so casually.
Skylar feverishly wanted Largo to get out of her motorhome and leave her alone with her thoughts. She thus reproved, “Why are you offering me to an old man? Do you think I’d be tempted by that? Get out of my motorhome! Don’t ever bring this up to me again.”
