Chapter 642 Your Sister In Law
Although Skylar was poor, she was more carefree and easily satisfied. Eating a packet of chips would
make her happy for the whole day.
Skylar smiled at the memory. “We can't go back to that time, but we're still young. There's no need to
be too sad.”
Penelope grabbed Skylar's hand as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw. “I don't have many chances
left, Skylar. The redevelopment project is my last chance. Can you talk to Tobias about it? My parents
promised if I can get a part of the old manor, I can sell it and use the money to start up a business. I'll
make so much money that Brayden will regret leaving me.”
Skylar's smile faded a little. “I heard that the redevelopment plans are already out. If we change it
again, the construction progress will be affected. Furthermore, it isn't easy doing business nowadays.
Since you don't have any experience or connections, how are you going to make Brayden regret given
that his business is so large-scale?”
Penelope looked up at Skylar and said, “You just don't want to help me even though we've been friends
for so many years...”
Skylar knew that Penelope wanted to meet her because of the old manor. Although she didn't want the
old manor to be demolished, there was nothing she could do to change Tobias' mind.
However, everyone had been pressuring her about it as if she could affect Tobias' decision.
Skylar didn't say anything else. Penelope left in anger but knowing that Skylar was in a difficult position,
she returned to the shop again. “You're the only person who can help me now, Skylar. My life is a
terrible mess and all I need is an apartment. Is it too much to ask?”
Skylar sighed.
“I'll try my best to help you, but please don't blame me if I can't get you what you ask for.”
That night, Tobias didn't come home because he went to Salinsburgh on an emergency business trip.
There was an urgent matter that he needed to deal with personally.
When Skylar asked how long he would be there, he did not give a reply.
On the way home, Skylar passed by an old neighborhood. Wearing a cap and a mask, she was quite
certain that nobody would recognize her.
Suddenly, she felt a pat on her back. When she turned around and saw Charles, she took a few steps Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
back in shock.
Standing behind Charles were a few men. They looked like hooligans since they were all wearing tight
jeans and had the same crew cut.
Despite Charles being the only one looking rough and tough while the others were very skinny, Skylar
was still nervous because she was on her own without her bodyguards and personal assistant.
Charles inched closer to Skylar and smiled creepily as she looked at him in horror. “Hey beautiful, are
you alone? We've been waiting for you.”
Skylar took a deep breath and told herself to stay calm. “What do you want? Don't come near me! My
bodyguards are just nearby.”
Hands trembling, she reached for the phone in her pocket and held it tightly, ready to call the police.
Charles found out about Skylar's whereabouts through Avery and knew that she would be alone today.
That was how he found her in the old neighborhood.
Avery reminded Charles to make it quick and leave no trails behind, but there were many passersby
along that road.
Furthermore, the police were getting better at nailing criminals.
“This is your future sister-in-law, she's a celebrity! I'm going to have so much fun with her for the next
few nights!” Charles announced arrogantly to his fellow hooligans.
