Chapter 948 Fighting to Keep the Relationship Alive

• Skylar Jones hesitated for a few seconds, then explained with a hint of guilt and a small agenda of her own, "Don't get the wrong idea. I only meant I knew him. Jeremy Lane and I stopped talking ages ago. He's doing great now. His girlfriend put up the money for him to open a gaming cafe, and his life has really taken off. He used to say we brought each other bad luck with money, that nothing ever went smoothly when we were together, and we were always short on cash. Back then, I thought he was just making things up, but now I almost can't help believing it. Have you ever felt like I've dragged you down? Am I some kind of walking curse? Since you've been with me, have you lost a lot of money in business? Has everything gone badly, one problem after another?"
• Skylar kept rambling beside him, but Tobias barely heard a word. He automatically filtered out everything he considered pointless.
• He did not care how Jeremy was doing now. The fact that Skylar thought this way seemed ridiculous to him. Why did she not say other people had dragged her down? Why did she insist on blaming herself instead?
