In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 76

Pink Hair and his lackeys burst into laughter. When he lifted Skylar’s chin, she was disgusted by his filthy hands.

“I happen to love those who are sick.”

The next moment, Skylar viciously bit into Pink Hair’s arm.

The sudden pain caused him to let go of her by reflex. He roared, “B*tch! Looks like you want to do things the hard way.”

As Skylar didn’t want to be a sitting duck, she grabbed her bag and fled.

However, her speed and stamina were no match for the bunch of men. The moment she reached the exit, someone grabbed onto her hand and twisted it behind her back.

Suddenly, the lights of a car pierced through the darkness from afar. It was so glaring it almost blinded everyone.

A black Maybach screeched to a stop at the entrance of the cybercafé.

Two men in black suits alighted from the car as the window of the front passenger seat wound down slowly.

When Skylar saw the Maybach, she assumed it was Tobias. However, when she got a clear view of the man’s face, she realized it was his brother, Sheldon.

Meanwhile, Pink Hair and his lackeys were stunned and wavered at what they saw.

After Sheldon got out of the car, he shot a glare at the hoodlums and waved his hand. “Take them away.”

At that moment, Pink Hair and his men, who were acting arrogantly just seconds ago, were escorted away by the two men in suits. They were all hauled into a van at the back.

Initially, they had wanted to fight back. But when they saw one of the men in suits hold up a gun, most of them were frightened into submission.

However, when Pink Hair tried to run, he was shot straight in the thigh.

As it was Skylar’s first time encountering a situation that involved guns, she quickly covered her ears the moment the gunshot rang out.

Sheldon approached Skylar. “Ms. Jones, don’t be afraid. They’re just a bunch of small-time hooligans.”

Skylar took a deep breath. “Why are you here?”

He was reeking of alcohol.

“On my way here, I thought about the same question too. I happened to be drinking nearby and was asked by Tobias to come.”

Sheldon sounded melancholic as he was disappointed his dawn drinking session was disrupted.

He came at once the moment his brother called.

“Where’s Tobias?” Skylar asked.

Sheldon shrugged. “I’m afraid I’m unable to answer that.”

Nevertheless, Skylar was grateful to Sheldon. If he had come a moment too late, she couldn’t imagine what would have happened.

Sheldon took a look at the time. “It’s going to be five soon. Tobias asked me to send you back to school. He said that the dormitory opens at six, am I right?”

Suddenly, Skylar remembered Tobias had nothing on him. She quickly suggested, “Your brother doesn’t have any money on him and has lost his wallet and cards. I’m fine now, so you better go look for him.”

Sheldon now understood why his brother, who rarely cared for girls, was exceptionally concerned about this one.

He wasn’t sure if she was really innocent or just acting that way. But she looked like a decent girl and was foolish in an adorable manner.

What surprised him was that Tobias actually used such a lame excuse to trick a girl.

“He is at a nearby hotel owned by our company. All he needs to do is to show his face.”

At that moment, Skylar felt as if she was an idiot. She wondered if Tobias enjoyed toying with her, treating her like a distraction.

As she followed Sheldon into the car, she sat at the back as Tobias was not around.

“Thank you for today. Where are you taking them?” Skylar asked curiously.

Sheldon replied, “I’m not really sure. The bodyguards belong to my brother and their methods are known to be cruel.”

Skylar didn’t believe everything that happened tonight was a coincidence. “How did you know I was in trouble? Did you install some sort of tracker on me?”
