Chapter 685 Not Negotiable
Skylar still felt conflicted when she saw Charles again. This time, at least the man looked slightly more
presentable, even though the suit he was wearing did not fit him well.
She then turned around to look at Tobias, who looked stunningly suave in his suit.
Skylar let out a sigh. Why did God bless him with such great looks? It's so unfair to the other men.
Charles had to behave himself as he knew Tobias was watching him closely. He knew he had to lay low
and not cross Tobias.
“What do you think of the marriage?” Tobias asked in a deep voice.
To this day, Charles still could not believe he would be marrying a gorgeous woman from a wealthy
family.
What a stroke of unexpected luck!
But at the same time, he was afraid that this might be a trap. He hesitated and replied, “I don't think
we're a good match. I mean, who am I to marry someone like Avery? Would you like to reconsider the
marriage?”
Skylar, who was observing Charles, realized the man was actually quite sharp-witted.
Tobias looked at Charles and said in a solemn voice, “I'll give you two options. You decide.” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Upon hearing that, Charles went deep in thought. Rumors have it that Tobias is cold-hearted, but
somehow, I feel he's a reasonable man.
He's even open to negotiation. That's not too bad, isn't it?
Meanwhile, Skylar, who was enjoying some desserts sitting beside Tobias, caught Charles' attention.
If Charles was being honest, he preferred Skylar to Avery, as the former had more delicate facial
features and a fairer complexion.
Upon noticing Charles gazing at Skylar, Tobias shot daggers at the pudgy man. That stare nearly gave
Charles a heart attack, and he immediately looked away.
“Here are your two options—either you die or marry Avery Jones.”
Charles was beyond horrified when Tobias uttered those words in a calm voice.
The color drained out of his face, and he tried to regain his composure by swallowing the saliva lodged
in his throat.
“An influential figure like you shouldn't do something like this. We're living in a lawful society, and you
shouldn't coerce a woman into a marriage she didn't want...”
Skylar tightened her grip on the cup. How unusual for a hooligan to talk about law. He must be terrified
of Tobias.
A corner of Tobias' mouth quirked up. “You're just a lowly person. Who are you to threaten me with the
law? I can kill you in many ways. I can even kill your entire family and cover it up.”
Charles was aware of how powerful Tobias was, and he knew Tobias was involved in all kinds of
business, including controversial ones.
He was afraid to fall into Tobias' trap, but he was even more terrified that Tobias would get rid of him.
He steeled himself and responded with a wry smile. “I'll do anything as you say then, Mr. Ford.”
Skylar once again took a glance at Charles and thought how cruel Tobias was and felt a pang of guilt.
I'm sure Avery would rather die than marry Charles.
After Charles had left, Skylar ordered the waiter to remove his cup right away. She was disgusted by
how filthy the man was.
She took a sip of her tea and asked Tobias casually, “Are you really going to kill him if he chooses not
to marry Avery?”
Tobias grinned and answered, “It was a joke. Can't you tell I'm a kind man? Do you really think I'm
capable of killing him?”
It was hard to tell if Tobias was telling the truth.
