In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 78

As Pink Hair collapsed to the ground, the rest of his lackeys peed in their pants. They dropped to their knees and groveled at Tobias’ feet, begging for mercy.

However, Tobias wasn’t moved as he removed the bullets from the gun. After that, he chucked the gun onto the ground.

He ordered Samuel, his bodyguard, “Call the police and tell them there was a fight in the car park involving a gun. One had died.”

Samuel knew what to do. Before he left, Tobias gave Pink Hair’s corpse a final glance and remarked, “Next time, don’t try to be a gangster. You really suck at it.”

Meanwhile, Sheldon gulped and swallowed the fear he felt. He didn’t understand why Tobias had to be so ruthless.

Tobias was definitely someone that was capable of annihilating his enemies.

After that, Sheldon accompanied Tobias for breakfast. Both of them didn’t get to sleep the whole night.

Tobias was in a worse condition than Sheldon, who was having a hangover. He had forgotten the last time he had a good night’s sleep.

“Tobias, why didn’t you go last night instead? It would have been the perfect opportunity for you to rescue a damsel in distress. Wouldn’t it be great?” Sheldon was chewing on a fried egg as he waited for a response.

“I don’t have to,” Tobias quipped.

He did want to go to her but Skylar had warned him to stay away.

In his heart, he hoped that she only meant last night and that it didn’t include today.

Suddenly, Sheldon’s phone rang and it was Claudia who called.

He cleared his throat. “Mom, why are you calling me so early in the morning?”

Claudia asked, “Is your brother with you?”

Tobias signaled to Sheldon with his eyes who understood immediately. His brother needed him to lie.

“No, he’s not here. Perhaps he is busy.”

However, Claudia wasn’t convinced. Before she ended the call, she even instructed Sheldon to look for Tobias. She wanted him to inform Tobias that there was something urgent at home and he needed to return.

After Sheldon put down his phone, he gave Tobias, who was enjoying his breakfast slowly, a sympathetic look.

“Tobias, Mom wants you to go home. Tanya must have been making a fuss.”

Tobias took out a white bottle from his pocket and poured two pills out.

“I’m not going home. I’m exhausted.”

Sheldon knew that Tobias had a habit of taking sleeping pills as his mental condition had deteriorated to a serious extent.

However, there was nothing much he could do despite wanting to help. He blamed himself for not being capable enough to share Tobias’ workload in the company.

He asked, “Tobias, is the wedding going to be held as scheduled?”

Tobias was silent.

As Skylar didn’t take leave from the dormitory, her absence last night caused her to be punished. Furthermore, her name was even put on the notice board.

She had tired herself out overnight. It was even more exhausting than making love with Tobias.

As there were no classes in the morning, she stayed back in the dorm and slept.

Coincidentally, Avery returned to the room and made a call. She even talked loudly on purpose.

“Dad, it really isn’t cold here. You don’t have to worry that I’ll catch a cold. I’ll be coming home on Friday night so I hope you will cook a pot roast for me. Also, there’s a dress I like and it costs a hundred thousand. Please transfer me the money for it.”

Skylar turned her body to a more comfortable position and continued sleeping.

“What? You received an invitation for Tobias’ wedding? It seems someone has failed to seduce him. She really is shameless to think that she can compete with Tanya.”

The moment Skylar heard Tobias’ name, she became wide awake.

Not wanting to stay in the dorm any longer, she got out of bed and climbed down her bunk.

Avery had ended the call and looked toward Skylar gleefully. “Skylar, Tobias’ wedding is next week. Do you want to go together? I may consider taking someone with me.”

Skylar declined coldly, “There’s no need. I don’t know him that well. Also, can’t you lower your voice on the phone while I’m sleeping?”

Avery’s smile faded away. “I want you to know your place and stop dreaming about being Cinderella. Don’t think you can act so arrogantly just because you know Tobias. Does he even bother about you now?”
