NovelOnlineSkylar stood at the door, dumbstruck.
Standing before her was a woman dressed in an elegant dress full of exquisite embroideries. The lady
didn’t look her age, which was a clear sign that she maintained herself well.
“Come on in.” Skylar hurriedly tied her own messy hair into a ponytail.
“Has Tobias just left?” asked Claudia.
Skylar nodded before immediately shaking her head. “I don’t know where he is.”
A dark gleam flashed in Claudia’s eyes. This girl doesn’t even bat an eyelid when she lies.
“You look young, Ms. Jones. Are you below twenty-five?” Claudia eyed the young woman from head to
toe.
Skylar pursed her lips. “I just turned twenty this year.”
Claudia beamed as her eyes dazzled. “Tobias is over ten years older than you, Ms. Jones. You’re

games with you.”
The older woman spoke gently, and there was even a warm smile on her face.
Yet, Skylar felt as though she had just been stabbed by a thousand knives.
Should I tell her about all the wonderful deeds her son has done to me, then?
Despite that, she dared not tell the truth. Her mother’s treatment depended on Tobias, and considering
how vengeful this man could be, there was no way he would easily forgive her if she were to reveal his
actions.
Knowing this, Skylar gave in. “Don’t worry. I won’t ruin his family, and I’m more than willing to back out.”
She spoke with a flawless smile on her face.
Then, Laura came over with some tea, not forgetting to spare Skylar a smug glance as though she had
been anticipating this day since forever.
Skylar readily glanced back at Laura.
“I’ve gone through your background, Ms. Jones, so I hope you’ll listen to what I have to say. It won’t be
easy for someone with your background to even marry into a normal family, so what makes you think
you can remain by my son’s side? I’ve seen plenty of young girls like you.”
This wasn’t the first time someone had brought up Skylar’s origins.
“In that case, you can tell Tobias not to come over anymore,” Skylar replied calmly with a smile. “I won’t
force myself into a world I don’t belong in.”
Claudia was rather surprised to see Skylar remain this collected. She’s a tough nut to crack. It seems
like I have to crank up my game.
With that, she took out a wedding invitation card with a few large, gilded words printed on it.
The Matrimony of Tobias Ford and Tanya Hanson
Even their wedding invitation cards have been made.
Skylar opened the invitation and looked at the date. It’s in two weeks!
Claudia smirked coldly. “Don’t tell Tobias I’ve been here. I sincerely hope that last night will have been
the very last time he sees you.”
Skylar raised an exquisite brow and put on an innocent face. “Well, I guess I won’t be seeing you off,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmClaudia. I do hope this is the last time you’ll ever see me too.”
“I hope so too. You’re a smart girl, so I don’t have to say too many nasty things to you. After all, I’m his
mother, so I should have a say in who he ends up with.”
Skylar couldn’t help but pity Tobias. What a terrifying mother he has.
As Claudia left, the young woman picked up the invitation card, and her lips curled into a frosty smile.
What a scumbag you are, Tobias, continuing to see me when you’re about to get married in just half a
month.
At the same time, Tanya had remained in the car all the while, waiting for Claudia to come back out of
the villa.
Tears immediately spilled over the sides of her eyes as Claudia entered the car. “Tobias has been
spending a lot of time with this woman lately, Mom. She keeps texting me late at night to provoke and
humiliate me. She wants me to let her have Tobias.”
She knew that Claudia had always despised fickle and unfaithful men.
