Skylar let out a cold laugh. “I did nothing wrong. You can’t detain me, and I won’t pay the fine.”

At this very moment, someone entered the interrogation room and muttered a few words to the officers.

With a sudden change in their expressions, they hurriedly left the room.

Skylar remained seated on the chair with no one attending to her.

She didn’t even have any water to soothe her dry throat.

As the hallway outside the interrogation room bustled with noise, Skylar shut her eyes in distress. The

light was so glaring that it hurt.

The door opened about ten minutes later, and the three officers from earlier walked back in, but their

attitudes had changed completely.

“Someone is here to see you,” the female officer said with a wide smile.

Then, Tobias’ taunting voice could be heard. “You sure are something, going from your trip to the police

station all in a day.”

Skylar gazed at him in shock. “What are you doing here? How did you know where I was?”

Never mind. That’s a stupid question. She immediately regretted asking.

Tobias had everything in the palm of his hand, and finding someone would be a piece of cake for him.

There was no one he couldn’t find – unless he didn’t want to, of course.

Seeing Tobias show up caused a mix of emotions to swirl within Skylar.

With a sniffle, she unleashed all the indignation she felt and squeezed out as many tears as she could.

“I’ve been wrongly accused. They brought me here without even getting their facts straight. I’m cold,

hungry, and tired. What have I done wrong? Have I harmed or stolen from anyone, huh?”

Skylar broke out into a sob as tears streamed down her face.

She was now using everything she had learned during acting classes on Tobias.

Meanwhile, the police officers standing outside the door felt like they were dealing with a bomb that

could detonate at any moment.

They looked utterly despaired while discussing among themselves, and the atmosphere had grown

tense.

“Tobias Ford’s here for her? We’re screwed now. How could we have captured his own people?”

“The director has already called. We’re about to be punished severely and get a full-blown lecture.”

“Punished? We may not even get to keep our jobs! That girl is a jinx!”

Tobias ran his coarse fingers across Skylar’s face. They were now wet from her tears.

“Don’t force yourself to cry if you can’t do it. You deserve to be cold and hungry,” the man remarked

with a sneer.

Skylar sniffled again. “Did you come here just to watch me make a fool of myself? I guess you’re happy

now, then. You can leave whenever now that you’ve seen enough.”

Tobias’ gaze darkened. Like hell I’m here to watch you suffer.

Do you think I’d spend a few hours coming all the way to North Beach just to watch you turn yourself

into a laughing stock? As if I have the time for that.

With only the two of them inside the interrogation room, Skylar got up to leave with Tobias.

Despite telling the man to leave, her actions spoke louder and more honestly.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Tobias gazed at the handcuffed woman.

Skylar was puzzled. “Aren’t you here to get me out?”

She began to panic. Tobias was always so unpredictable that she could never tell what he was

thinking.

When Skylar just saw the man earlier, she thought he had come to save her from her predicament. Yet,

he was behaving this way now.

He could actually slap any crime on me and get me locked up for as long as I want.

Tobias leaned toward Skylar’s face until their noses touched, and he gazed deeply into her eyes.

“Why should I get you out of here when you’ve done something so disgusting? Do you take me as

someone who’d be interested in a piece of trash?”
