Chapter 709 Suffered Some Financial Losses
Upon hearing that, Skylar was left speechless. The mental image that surfaced made her feel uneasy.
She imagined herself lying in bed, with tubes inserted throughout her body, her consciousness limited.
A ring of servants encircled her, tending to her needs with the utmost care, treating her as if she were a
precious creature.
She even pictured how Tobias would enter the room with his new girlfriend, briefly give her a tour, and
then depart.
While Skylar was staring absentmindedly out of the car window, Tobias raised his hand and gently
patted her head. “Stop allowing your imagination to run wild. Focus on something positive instead. You
spend too much time online, either engrossed in such matters or watching that male streamer.”
Skylar's heart skipped a beat when she heard what he said. She asked, “How did you find out about
that? I just thought he was engaging and humorous.”
The descriptions were in complete contrast to Tobias' personality, as the man always had a stern and
unsmiling demeanor, appearing exceptionally intimidating. Since I'm not engaging and humorous, maybe she was just seeking a way to entertain herself.
Tobias dropped Skylar off to where her director was, as she would have to take part in the upcoming
movie promotion unconditionally.
The film's premiere turned out to be a disappointment, with a dismal attendance rate.
“The Ballad of 1978” would only have a chance to be popular if there was a lack of competing movies
at the time of release. Yet, it was scheduled to be released during the holiday season, squeezing into
the holiday season's film lineup.
Skylar could not help but wonder what the film crew was thinking and where they found such
unwavering confidence.
After unbuckling her seatbelt, Skylar contemplated giving Tobias a hug to express her gratitude for the
ride. However, she noticed Ingrid within her line of sight at that moment.
Pointing toward the three o'clock direction, Skylar said, “Aren't you gonna say hello to your sister?
She's right there.”
Tobias shrugged his shoulders indifferently. “Why should I? We're not close.”
Skylar abandoned the idea, coming to the realization that there was no sibling bond between them.
After all, they did not come from the same mother.
Skylar had no insight into Avery's married life either, nor did she have the time to concern herself with
it. However, the thought of Avery getting married just like that troubled her.
That was because, despite Avery not being entirely blameless, Skylar had indirectly made Avery marry
Charles, which was akin to ruining Avery's whole life as Skylar could tell that Charles possessed all the
characteristics of a typical abusive man.
Nonetheless, since Avery had always been cunning and ruthless despite her outwardly docile Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
demeanor, Charles might have a hard time taming her.
From a distance, Ingrid spotted Tobias' car before crossing paths with Skylar in the corridor. Her eyes
filled with disdain, and she lifted her arm to block Skylar's way. “So, Tobias brought you here?
Impressive. You must have quite the influence to have him as your personal driver so early in the
morning.”
Skylar knitted her brows. “He's dropping me off since we were heading the same way. There's nothing
unusual about it.”
Ingrid took every chance to provoke Skylar. She taunted, “Oh, really? I heard that Ford Group is going
to sign a contract with Saorise and feature her in their advertisements. But why didn't Tobias consider
you in the first place?”
Everyone in the industry knew about the deal between Ford Group and Saorise now.
Skylar lifted her head, a hint of arrogance in her eyes as she retorted, “Seems like you're more
concerned about this than my manager.”
Ingrid could not help but find it amusing to see the jealous expression on Skylar's face. Maybe deep down, she's upset that her man has chosen another woman for the endorsement.
The promotional schedule was packed, and the director publicly claimed that the box office would
surpass one billion.
Skylar made the decision to show her support without any expectations, intrigued to see how the film
would perform in terms of box office screenings. One billion? I'm afraid it might not even surpass the box office of “Bear Escapades.”
Marcus, the producer, was also in attendance. He warmly greeted Skylar and remarked, “I heard
you've suffered some financial losses recently. Is that true?”
