Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1479

"The Salazar family's stuff ain't sorted yet, so what's the point in you going to her?"
Jeremy's words successfully stopped Steven in his tracks. Steven turned around and said, "The relationship between the Salazars and the Dixons is a real spiderweb. It’s not just about money but about our families and all that jazz. If I make a move against the Salazars, it's like cutting off the Dixon Group's lifeline. So, the big shots in the Dixon Group are blocking me from taking action against the Salazars, and the folks in our family are against it too. So for now, the Salazars are a real pain in the neck."
Jeremy asked, "Need a hand?"
Steven replied, "Jeremy, don't underestimate me. I may be at a dead end with the Salazars now, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to do something in the future. I'm gearing up, and soon enough, I'll make the Salazars, especially Daniela, regret their actions and pay the price."
Jeremy said, "In the business world, there are no permanent friends or enemies. If your chips are enticing enough, someone will come knocking."
Steven got Jeremy's drift. "Don't worry. I won't be stingy when it comes to this."
Lucas stepped forward and patted Steven on the shoulder. "If you need our help, just give us a shout."
Steven said, "Got it. I'm off to chase Hannah, so I might not have time to hang out with you guys for a while. Once I get her back, I'll treat you all to a meal." With that, he walked away.
Lucas turned to Jeremy. "Jeremy, is your family heading back to Riverton?"
Jeremy replied, "Yeah. We've packed our stuff, and will hit the road after lunch."
Lucas said, "There's something I want to discuss with you."
Jeremy said, "Shoot."
Lucas thought for a moment, and then said, "Zavier has been harping to me that Skyler is still alive and that you've hidden her. Tell me the truth today, is there any truth to it?"
Jeremy frowned slightly. "Did Zavier send you to ask me?"
Lucas nodded. There was no hiding or denying it.
Jeremy continued, "I didn't hide her. As for whether Skyler is alive, let him find out the answer himself, he won't get it from me."
As Jeremy's words fell, Lucas turned and called out, "Zavier, you heard it all. Come on out."
Next, the closet in the living room was opened, and a tall man stepped out. Rosie and Cornelia, who were chatting, were taken aback. Especially Cornelia, who instantly shielded Hope, watching Zavier anxiously.
Zavier's gaze fell on Hope in Cornelia’s arms. Had Skyler left their child behind, by now, their kid would be much older than Hope and maybe even talking. But there were no ifs.
Skyler was very resolute in what she did to him. She never gave him a choice.
Jeremy quickly stepped beside Cornelia, blocking Zavier's gaze. "Zavier..."
Zavier looked at him and smiled. "Jeremy, it's been hard to meet you. Without Lucas' help today, I might not have been able to meet you."
Jeremy glanced at Lucas, his reproach clear.
Lucas quickly explained, "Zavier didn't believe your words, so he wanted me to ask you directly. I hope you guys can make up because that's why I did this."
Jeremy said, "If you want to see me, just give me a call. I'm always available."
Zavier asked, "Didn't I call you?"
