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.
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?”
