Well, I can’t think of any other possibilities for that other than this being the doing of the Joneses. After all, they

want to drag my reputation through the mud without tarnishing the reputation of the Jones Family. And it just so

happens that I’ve got to attend a charity gala tonight. If I guess correctly, I’ll definitely be the center of attention

there, with reporters hounding me.

“So, this is the kind of woman you fancy?” Claudia, who just had a change of attitude toward Skylar, was presently

foaming at the mouth.

Tobias himself had only learned about Skylar’s scandal having spread like wildfire overnight moments ago. As such,

he could understand why she was so worked up.

After all, the elderly believed everything they read. No matter how shrewd Claudia was, she still sent him some

asinine news every so often, such as claims that cotton candy was made of cotton and how Coke couldn’t be drunk

with Red Bull.

“The news is fake. Considering Skylar’s personality, she would never pick on someone else. Besides, her mother’s

affairs have nothing to do with her. She’s also a victim,” he mollified.

“Hmph! You’re always defending her! I don’t quite believe in her character,” Claudia huffed. “Say, how is she better

than Tanya? Alas, luck wasn’t on Tanya’s side. She went off her rocker, and she couldn’t tie you to her with a child

either. If it weren’t for the accident back then…”

At the thought of that, she became dispirited. How greatly had I sinned in my previous life that everyone has

grandchildren, yet I’m still all alone here in this huge mansion?

Sick of her nagging, Tobias interjected, “There’s a charity gala I’ve promised to attend tonight, so I won’t be having

dinner with you.”

Only then did Claudia remember about the charity gala, and it was an event that Tobias was only attending because

of her.

Nonetheless, she felt that the hefty sum he donated every year was also for his benefit since it would amass

blessings for himself.

When Tobias arrived at the venue, he skipped walking down the red carpet since he wasn’t a celebrity. And even if

the organizer had wanted him to do so, they didn’t have that much sway with him.

He went straight up to the VIP seating on the second floor. Before he came over, he learned that Skylar would also

be attending the event tonight.

After her scandal broke out, he didn’t call her to comfort her at once because he felt that she should be aware of

what she would face in the future since she had chosen this path.

When he lifted his hand, his assistant immediately handed him a pair of binoculars that enabled him to see the red

carpet clearly.

That night, Skylar wore an emerald-green evening dress with balloon sleeves. Such a dress was very demanding on

its wearer, necessitating a slim figure and a tall stature.

Nevertheless, Skylar’s slim and tall built fit the bill perfectly.

As for her hair, the stylist put it up. However, it appeared rather awkward since it was too high.

Her stylist had an emergency, so Kate got someone to stand in. Thus, she was borrowing Amelia’s stylist.

The moment Skylar entered Tobias’ line of sight, the corners of his mouth lifted.

Haha, her appearance today reminds me of a huge crown of broccoli! Of course, she’s still beautiful, but it seems

rather strange.

Thanks to her scandal, all cameras swung in Skylar’s direction and started flashing away as soon as she made her

appearance.

In the face of the frenzy, she merely smiled cooperatively. When she went in, she took a seat on the sofa where her

name was written.

A long sofa seated three celebrities. Largo was one of her seatmates, while the other was a currently popular

actress, Faith Halliday.

Largo sat in the middle, and he handed a glass of wine to Skylar. “Are you okay? I told you long ago that you need

someone backing you up when you’re in the entertainment industry. What are you planning to do now? Whatever it

is, don’t affect the viewer ratings for Empyrean Sword. I don’t want the audience to boycott the movie because

they hate the female lead.”

He spoke in a mere whisper, afraid that Faith would overhear him.

Meanwhile, Skylar pinned her gaze on the stage. At that moment, the host had already started introducing the

items that would be auctioned that day.

Unlike previous years, the charity gala was switched to a charity auction that year. And everything that would be

auctioned was provided by the families that required financial help.

The upcoming item that was going to be auctioned was a teddy bear.
