In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 565

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. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

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.”

Kevin smiled confidently. “When we were kids, Skylar and I were close. During that time, my family looked down upon her because her parents were not around, and she wasn’t good at her studies. Furthermore, she spoke bluntly and didn’t know how to curry favor the adults. Given that she looked like a tomboy then, no one expected her to become so famous today. Don’t worry, she is soft-hearted and will definitely help me. After all, I’m her cousin, and she won’t bear to see me suffer.”

However, Lauren still wasn’t convinced. “But still, it’s a large amount of money. It would be possible if it was two hundred thousand. But two million? Where would she find the money? Besides, even your own sister doesn’t want to help you, let alone your cousin.”

Nevertheless, Kevin didn’t feel that two million was going to be a problem for Skylar given that she was living in a villa with a housekeeper to tend to her needs. From his perspective, Skylar must be earning a lot.

Even if her pay from acting wasn’t enough, Tobias had been together with her for some time now. The amount of profit the Ford Group made every year was definitely staggering.

As Tobias was filthy rich, two million would likely be peanuts to him.

Annoyed by Lauren’s nagging, he threw his cigarette onto the ground and stubbed it out with his feet. “You should head home first. I’m not escorting you home as Eva is about to come back. Given the chaos my family is in I will probably be reprimanded when I return home.”

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.
