It was apparent that the things that Tobias imposed onto them, thinking it was for their own good, was
never what they actually wanted.
When Skylar arrived at the set, the whole crew was already there. The only one missing was Avery,
who was away for a commercial shoot.
It took Skylar no time to find out which commercial Avery was in, as Hannah was very close with Jane
recently, the assistant that Avery often bullied. She was an innocent girl, so it was easy to get an
answer from her.
Skylar was able find out a lot about Avery through her.
“How did she get into that?” She was surprised to hear that Avery was going to do a commercial for a
major brand.
“I heard Largo was the one that recommended her to them,” Hannah whispered into Skylar’s ear. “Even
the contract was written up in a hurry.”
Skylar scoffed, “No wonder I heard rumors about something going on between those two. People are
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtreally nosy in this industry. Even the cleaner will catch wind of it from the smallest of gossip.”
“They say that Largo and Avery slept together the day we had the meat fondue,” Hannah added.
“Some even said that they might actually announce their relationship since Largo liked Avery quite a
lot.”
Nevertheless, Skylar was skeptical. Largo never had any scandals, so she doubted that he would
change just for Avery.
Largo was a thirty-year-old bachelor who had zero scandals, either because he was gay and was
extremely cautious about it, or he dedicated his life to his work, so he did not have time for
relationships.
Speaking of the devil.
Right then, Largo appeared at the set and approached Skylar, who just got changed. His manager was
behind him as well.
Largo was quite casual and easygoing whenever he was not filming, always wearing a bright smile on
his face.
“This is for you to boost your energy.” Largo offered Skylar some chocolates, and she accepted them
with open arms.
“Thank you, Mr. Zeller. How thoughtful of you,” she responded with a delightful smile.
Largo also prepared a box of chocolate for Cassidy, but she was someone who had a social anxiety
disorder, so her only response was, “Sorry, I don’t eat chocolates. I’m scared it might affect my figure.”
Skylar gulped when she heard that. You are already looking like a stick! Even the smallest-sized
clothing would seem huge on you!
The rejection left a bitter taste in Largo’s mouth, but his smile was unwavering.
At the bar, Tobias saw Sheldon resting his head on a woman’s lap in one of the private rooms. He was
dead drunk.
When Sheldon saw Tobias, there was no more fear in his eyes like how it was back then. “Mr. Ford! Did
you come to see me—the trash?” He welcomed Tobias with a big smile, dead drunk.
Tobias proceeded to point to the safety exit, signaling Sheldon to follow him.

However, Sheldon was not budging. So, Tobias waved his hand, gesturing for the bodyguards to carry
Sheldon out.
Sheldon was resisting as much as he could, but he was too drunk to stand. He had to support himself
using the stair rail.
He reeked of alcohol and had a cigarette between his fingers, looking like someone that slept on the
streets.
Meanwhile, Tobias took a deep breath and closed his eyes. “I’ll grant you your wish. Give me a figure.”
He understood that it was inevitably his fault for letting Sheldon do as he wished throughout the years.
In the end, he still was labeled as the person that held Sheldon back.
“I don’t want money,” Sheldon replied with a drunken smile. “I want the Ford Group. Didn’t you always
say that I can’t do anything right? That I have nothing to show? Let me prove myself then. If you truly
see me as a brother, give me a chance. Let me show you what I’m capable of.”
