Chapter 1747

Skyler’s gaze was laced with apprehension as she watched Zavier end the call. He reached for her hand again, clasping it tightly, “Skyler…”

His expression was dark and stormy, prompting a wave of panic in Skyler, “What happened? Did something go wrong?”

After a moment of heavy silence, Zavier uttered gravely, “The Blue family has declared bankruptcy.”

Skyler knew all too well what the bankruptcy of the Blue family meant. For a moment, her heart was a chaotic mess, but she refused to let herself fall apart. With effort, she mustered a radiant smile, “No wonder I’ve been getting non-stop calls from the Blue family all day. So, this was the reason.”

Zavier saw through her anxiety, “Skyler.”

Before he could finish, Skyler continued, “The Blue family has never been kind to me. I’ve always been trying to break free from their grip. Now that they’re bankrupt, it’s probably a good thing for me. Don’t worry about me.”

Zavier’s gaze lingered on her. He was at a loss for words, unsure whether she truly didn’t grasp the full implications of the Blue family’s bankruptcy or if she was just pretending not to know.e2

He reached out again, holding her cold hand firmly, “Skyler, we’re likely to go through a lot in the coming days. No matter what happens, you have to trust me, okay?”

Skyler asked, “What’s going to happen?”

Zavier paused. Then Skyler added, “Zavier, we both know that to take control of our destinies, we must become strong. I’ve been juggling school and songwriting to make money, and you’ve been working hard too. We’re both getting closer to our goals. But…”

Zavier cut her off, “No buts.”

Skyler persisted, “Zavier, we’re capable of supporting ourselves, and we’re getting closer to our goals, but we’re not yet strong enough to take on our families, especially you. Right now, Rivera Inc. is at a critical juncture in its competition. You may not think about yourself, but can you really let go of your brother and father’s death?”

Zavier was silent. He couldn’t let go. The culprit would soon reveal themselves. Soon, he would be able to bring the perpetrator to justice, and he couldn’t afford to be distracted by anything else.

Skyler spoke again, “Zavier, no matter what choices you make, I won’t blame you. So, feel free to boldly do what you want to do.”

Zavier decided, “Right now, I’m taking you to Grandpa at the Rivera’s Manor.”

Skyler agreed, “Okay.”

Zavier added, “Grandpa’s getting on in years, and sometimes his memory fails him. His authority in the company diminishes day by day. Matthew and Owen might not listen to Grandpa much, but as long as he’s around, they won’t dare to cause any chaos.”

Skyler nodded, “Right.”

Both of them felt uneasy on their way to Rivera’s Manor, and they rode in silence.

Fortunately, when they arrived at Rivera’s Manor, the other members of the Rivera family had not yet returned, only Hudson was there.

Hudson said, “Zavier, the bankruptcy of the Blue family can be a big deal or a small one, but you need to take charge at the office personally. Don’t let Matthew and Owen take this opportunity to cause trouble.”

Zavier responded, “Grandpa, I understand. Please take good care of Skyler for me.”

Hudson replied, “I asked you to bring Skyler here to keep her safe from those who might have designs on her. Now that she’s with me, you can go and do what you need to do without worry.”
