Skylar vaguely recalled Penelope once boasting to her that Brayden had paid three months of rent all at once, which added up to a grand total of nearly one thousand seven hundred.

Tobias gave a low whistle. “The bar’s really getting lower and lower these days, isn’t it? All you have to do to buy a woman over is to rent her an apartment, and she’ll gladly carry a child to term for you.”

Skylar felt her dislike for Brayden swell into intense hatred. No amount of wealth was enough to conceal the fact that he was fundamentally a loathsome character.

Annoyed by Tobias’ flippant response, she snapped, “Do you want to get out there too, then? Since women nowadays aren’t as much of golddiggers as they were before, you definitely won’t be lacking in a supply of young girls for your harem.”

Tobias wisely refused to allow himself to be drawn into such a conversation. He had never treated his women meanly. Besides, ever since meeting Skylar, he had never considered putting himself back out on the dating scene.
