Half an hour later.
Skyler was brought to the top floor of a luxury office building in the city center where the land is very expensive.
Ever since her parents divorced, she and her mother were kicked out of the house to live with others, and they had never been to such a high-end place again.
Just downstairs, she noticed that the people here were all dressed as business elites.
The indifference emanating from those people was somewhat similar to that of the man not long ago.
It's just that the man's aura seemed more fierce and cold.
Thinking of that night in the clubhouse a week ago, being pushed behind the door by that tall, straight man…
Skyler's hands clenched together awkwardly.
She didn't even know who the man who took her first night was…
Suddenly, a huge shadow cast over Skyler, blocking all the light above her head.
Skyler froze for a moment and subconsciously raised her eyes.
Without warning, her gaze crashed into an unfathomable iceberg.
The man who had appeared in the office with delicate features and sharp lines was staring at her with cold eyes.
The man's figure was extraordinarily tall and straight; just standing in front of her was enough to exude a sharp sense of oppression.
Skyler's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
She was inexplicably afraid of the man in front of her and had an indescribable feeling.
I seem to have seen him somewhere…
But after thinking about it, if she really met such a man, how could she not remember?
She coughed lightly, straightened her back, and sat up a bit, "This gentleman… do you want to see me?"
Skyler looked at him with a sincere expression.
Although one cheek was still embarrassingly swollen, her eyes were clear and bright.
The man's deep, magnetic voice held a strong questioning tone.
Skyler froze for a moment, her heart skipping a beat for no reason.
She didn't understand why this man asked her such a question.
Should I know him well?
"Did this gentleman mistake me for someone? I really don't know you…"
The man lowered his eyes, narrow and cold, looking at Skyler's perplexed little face.
The woman in front of him was very beautiful.
With black hair like clouds, a bright nose, and red lips, her small face was only the size of a palm; even though her cheeks were slightly swollen, it didn't affect her soft, delicate beauty.
Especially those eyes, as if they could speak, shone with a watery and innocent luster, reminding him inexplicably of someone.
Pity…
Logan's face darkened slightly.
"You don't know me, but you know how to curry favor with my grandpa… Tell me, how much will it cost you to play the role of Mrs. Lee well in front of my grandpa?"
The man didn't waste time on pleasantries. He took out his phone and motioned for her to transfer money.
Skyler didn't expect that such a dignified, stern person would speak such humiliating words.
She said angrily, "Sir, I don't think we have anything to talk about. I'll go first."
"Skyler, 22 years old, was expelled from university about a year ago due to a messy private life. Originally, your family was well-off, but you went to a nursing home to work as a caregiver for a bad old man."
Before she could get up, Logan's icy voice sounded again.
"Caregiver Skyler, tell me, should I believe that you deliberately approached my grandfather for some other purpose?"
He had actually investigated her.
Wait!
"You're Uncle Wilson's grandson!?"
Suddenly, Skyler hit on the point.
"Why, you're finally willing to admit it."
Logan sat down on the sofa across from her, not hiding the contempt in his eyes.
His long legs overlapped, his slender fingers casually leaned on the armrest of the sofa, and he looked at her coldly.
"Tell me, is the pocket money of thirty thousand dollars a month enough for you to marry me and put on a good show in front of my grandfather?"
Skyler's mind froze for a few seconds.
Marry?
What the hell is he talking about?!
"Mr. Lee, although I am Uncle Wilson's caregiver, I know that you and Uncle Wilson had some misunderstandings before. But I never thought of using this to marry you…"
"Fifty thousand dollars per month. Skyler, this is the maximum I can tolerate with you. Although the Lee family doesn't need money at all, you should know… with your past experience, it is not worth this price at all."
The man's words made Skyler's blood freeze.
There was a buzzing in her head, but she suppressed the tingling in her throat and said in a hoarse voice, "Sorry, Mr. Lee, I'm not interested in the previous grievances between you and Uncle Wilson. I'm leaving now."
Skyler couldn't stay for a moment; she picked up her bag and was about to leave.
But then she thought of her mother's life.
As for the man who had promised twice to be responsible for her but then disappeared…
There was a flash of bitterness in Skyler's heart.
She shouldn't have believed that kind of man at all.
"I don't want the rest… but I want one million in cash now."
Skyler turned her head, and the dots of water flashed in her eyes.
"I can marry you and get the certificate now. The condition is that I must get one million cash before the bank closes today!"

At this time, at the Jones family.
After driving Skyler away, Luke, as her own uncle, couldn't help but feel a little guilty and kept pacing back and forth in the living room.
"What are you doing, walking around? It's disturbing my admiration of the ring!" Emma called out to Luke impatiently. "Look, this ring has so many diamonds on it. It must be very valuable. That damn girl has no money long ago, where do you think she got this ring from?"
Luke was impatient, "Who knows, maybe my sister left it for her."
Emma, "Huh, it seems that Ava still has a lot of good things hidden in her hands. No, I'll go to the hospital now and let them cough up the previous medical expenses…"
Emma said as she walked out. Just as she opened the door, she ran into her daughter.
"Dad, Mom… why are you at the door? That little bitch Skyler, I heard she's making trouble again!"
Isabella, the eldest daughter of the Jones family, stepped out of her sports car on a seven-inch stiletto heel, dressed head-to-toe in designer brands.
Seeing her daughter, Emma's face lit up.
"It's okay. That damn girl has already been chased away by me. Isabella, look, what is this!"
Emma took out the obsidian ring she had ripped from Skyler's neck.
"This is…!"
Emma raised her eyebrows triumphantly. "I pulled it off that damn girl Skyler… She's lived in our house for so long, the ring just pays off the debt!"
"This ring looks so delicate… Mom, I like it!"
"Take it if you like it!" Emma handed over the ring without the slightest hesitation.
Isabella took the black diamond-set ring with a beaming smile.
She knew Skyler's stuff was always the best.

On the other side, the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Skyler had already obtained a marriage certificate with Mr. Lee and was hurrying out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
She looked down at her phone as she walked.
After receiving a text message indicating that the account had been credited with one million cash, she hurried to the hospital to pay Ava for the scheduled surgery.
Logan took a few steps back, and as he walked out, he saw Skyler's petite, thin back.
The man's face was still cold, but a dark light flashed in his deep eyes.
He had thought that after this woman used his grandfather to marry into the Lee family, she would definitely be eager to move into the mansion and start enjoying the life of the wealthy Madam.
Unexpectedly, she left without saying a word.
At this moment, Noah's voice came from behind.
"Master Lee, the girl who rescued you at the Night Charm clubhouse a week ago has been found. Our people discovered that she just appeared in the jewelry store wearing your ring."
