Chapter 689 Severing Friendships
Having heard Laurel's point of view, Skylar agreed with them. The only thing she felt glad about in her
relationship was that Tobias grew up in a tough environment before making it big.
However, there was a big gulf between them when it came to how they spent their money. Just the
night before, she saw Tobias bring a coin home.
She didn't even bat an eyelid, as there were plenty of such coins amongst the props in the studio.
Nevertheless, Tobias observed it in his hand for a very long time. In fact, he even held it up to the light
when he couldn't see it clear enough.
It wasn't until later that she learned Tobias had bought the tiny antique coin for thirty million, which was
something she could never understand.
Isn't it better to buy a villa with the money instead?
After a seventeen-hour flight, they finally arrived at the capital of Beskary, Baykeep.
Skylar looked terrible when she disembarked. Unable to get proper rest, her puffed-up face glistened
with oil.
On the other hand, Saorise looked as if she had just finished spending more than ten hours in a spa.
With a vibrant glow on her face, she strutted off the plane like a supermodel.
Holding her own bag, Skylar looked haggard while wearing a baseball cap. In fact, she seemed so
ordinary that no one could pick her out from the crowd.
Inside the terminal, many of Saorise's fans had gathered at the airport. They even unfolded a welcome
banner and were fervently screaming her name.
As if she was walking the red carpet, Saorise greeted her fans warmly.
Meanwhile, Skylar couldn't believe her eyes to the extent of having some negative thoughts. The
production team had reminded her not to reveal her itinerary for fear that Chanaean students who were
in Beskary would come to the airport to welcome her.
The decision to maintain a low profile was adopted in consideration of the faded stars who were joining
the reality show as guests and naturally wouldn't have many fans.
They had wanted to avoid a situation where there was a huge contrast even though the faded stars
likely wouldn't have minded.
When Skylar heard the request initially, she felt that it was a considerate gesture by the production
team.
Therefore, she acceded to their request and kept her itinerary a secret, which resulted in no one
welcoming her as she watched Saorise swarmed by her fans.
When Skylar put her luggage on the ground, she murmured to Laurel, “Sometimes, it doesn't pay to be Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
honest.”
As the guest stars gathered at the airport, Skylar saw Malinda, whose shows she had watched growing
up. Rumor had it that Malinda was in her fourth marriage with a guy who was only in his twenties.
Mackayla and her girl group, who were recently wildly popular, were also there. Even though they were
managed by the same agency as Skylar, they barely interacted with her. Skylar also remembered that
Mackayla was about the same age as her.
However, Mackayla's outfit made her look as if she was still a teenager in high school.
Mavis Lawson was from Horington. After she married a tycoon from the city, she retired from showbiz.
Due to her husband declaring bankruptcy the year before, she was forced to go back to work to pay off
his debts.
At that moment, Skylar was glad that she had kept up to date with the latest gossip that enabled her to
have a good understanding of the stars who were present.
Just when she was feeling smug about herself, she was surprised to see Kai. Prior to her signing her
contract, she heard nothing of Kai participating in Always With You.
Standing beside him was Brendan, a young trainee from Koandria who was wearing an outstanding
green hat.
Kai took Skylar's bag from her. “Your arm is hurt. Let me help you with that.”
Stunned, Skylar asked, “How did you know that I hurt my arm?”
She clenched the sleeve of her jacket by reflex.
Kai retorted, “From the group chat of course. You were asking how to not let your wound leave a scar.”
Skylar remembered that she had deleted the message less than a minute after sending it. Nonetheless,
she was surprised that Kai had managed to see it still.
