Chapter 724 The Troublemaking Skyler
Rolling his eyes at her, Skyler gnashed his teeth while slightly raising his chin and motioning toward the direction of the bathroom. “Do you know who Garrick Brennan is?”
“Of course, I know who he is.” If she had not known who Garrick was, would she have repeatedly approached him?
“How about his relationship with Sofia Green?” Dumbfounded, she asked, “W-What’s their relationship?” “Garrick is Sofia’s biological brother.” “Biological brother? If so, why would they…”
The news came so suddenly that it stunned Shirley. “Are you trying to ask why they have different last names even though they are siblings? Ha. That’s not something you should be bothered with, but remember, Garrick Brennan is not someone you can provoke, so keep your distance.”
Actually, Skyler had planned to find her last night, but an accident suddenly broke out at the factory in Torrag city, so he immediately rushed to Torrag after leaving the Philwind Hotel. Therefore, he did not even have time to visit her.
The only thing he could do was to call her, but that damned woman would not pick up his call. Shirley fell silent.
What she could not understand was that if Garrick was indeed Sofia’s brother, and Sofia had misunderstood her relationship with Skyler, would he not resent the person who had wrecked her sister’s relationship as her brother? Why would he take the initiative to contact her?
Still, no matter which situation it was, Skyler must have misunderstood her attitude toward Garrick. “Young Master Skyler, I don’t need you to bother with my business.”
Once she said that, she lowered her head and looked at her wrist, which was still wrapped by his hand. His grip was so tight that her wrist continued to hurt. Is he trying to break my wrist?
“Can you let go?” Enduring the pain in her wrist, she tried to act as calmly as possible.
Skyler had not gotten a single shut-eye while rushing back from Torrag this morning. After he arrived in Bloomstead, he immediately rushed to her house only to find no one there. Then, he had someone find out her movements and finally discovered where she was.
However, he did not expect that she would come here to have a meal with Garrick.
It was a kind and sincere gesture from Skyler’s side, but he felt that she had mercilessly humiliated him. Her attitude was akin to throwing his dignity to the ground before stomping on it.
While the two gazed into each other’s eyes, one was enraged while the other was pretending to be calm. He threw her hand away a long time later. “Very well-said. You better not regret it.”
After he said that, he… did not turn around and leave but sat down on Garrick’s seat instead.
At that moment, Garrick had come out of the bathroom. His face still looked as refined as ever, but he was not angry when he saw Skyler sitting in his seat. Instead, he called for the waiter.
The waiter immediately came over. “Sir, what can I help you with?”
“Clean up the table and bring over the menu.” “Yes, sir. Please wait a moment.”
After saying that, the waiter immediately cleaned up the table. Subsequently, Garrick sat down beside Skyler. “I heard something had happened at your factory last night. Has it been resolved?”
“It’s not a big deal.” Leaning against his seat, Skyler subconsciously took out a cigarette from his pocket, but he remembered smoking was not allowed in this restaurant, so he could only take out his lighter and play with it.
Shirley, who was opposite him, felt speechless. He was so angry a moment ago and she thought he would storm out, but who would have expected that not only did he not leave, but he also sat down for a meal?
What is he up to? “It’s Sofia’s birthday in a few days. Why don’t you come over for a meal together?” Garrick asked, then added, “Grandpa hasn’t seen you for a while and misses you.”
That last sentence destroyed all of Skyler’s chances to refuse. While holding the lighter, Skyler looked at Shirley, who was taking her seat slowly, and felt his heart sink as he suddenly felt guilty.
Yet, when he saw that she was not even paying attention to him but was rather talking to the waiter, his face immediately fell. “Sure.”
