However, Skylar felt that her mind was as clear as day. If Wesley sold the house, it would be tantamount to selling off her childhood memories.
Before Grandma passed away, she was worried about the house too as that was the only thing she had left behind.
After Skylar left, Lauren asked Kevin, “Who is the man beside Skylar? He looks really handsome.”
Kevin replied, “He’s Tobias Ford, CEO of Ford Group, and her boyfriend.”
Seventeen-year-old Lauren gaped. It took her a long time to regain her senses.
She must be thinking of becoming a celebrity with this information.
Reading Lauren’s mind, he tapped gently on her head. “Don’t get any funny ideas. Tobias is not someone we can offend. Despite openly moving around together, no one has dared to expose their relationship. I’m sure you know what that means. Besides, even if we revealed it, it’s not like we’re going to get a reward. In fact, it might be the opposite.”
Just when Lauren thought of using the opportunity to become famous, Kevin nip her idea in the bud.
She then elbowed Kevin in the chest. “When will you be able to pay your debt? From the looks of it, your cousin doesn’t seem to be willing to help you. Furthermore, the creditors aren’t going to give you time. Given that they are gangsters, they are certainly capable of doing anything.”
Lauren raised her heels to bring her lips close to Kevin’s ears. “Tomorrow night, there will be another round. So, will you be coming? Perhaps, it’s your chance to turn things around and win back all the money you have lost. If you do, you won’t need to get anyone else to bail you out anymore. Besides, I’ve pleaded with one of them to loan us more money.”
Kevin replied without hesitation. “Of course, I’ll be there. I have a gut feeling that luck will be on my side. I even won a couple of hundred at the lottery yesterday.”
When Lauren heard Kevin’s answer, her mind was put at ease.
After Kevin had left, she made a call to Hayden and told him that the fish had taken the bait.
