Lily had made up her mind by then. She wouldn’t allow Skylar to escape since her son had a crush on him.
The irritated woman asked Wesley, “What’s wrong with your niece? Why don’t you go around and ask others if they have received three hundred thousand as dowry nowadays? Things are different. These days, the ladies are the ones who have to compensate the men if they want to get married!”
Wesley couldn’t make up his mind. He looked at Sharon in the eyes and asked for her opinion.
Sharon assured Lily, “She’s such an ungrateful brat! No matter what it takes, we’ll make sure Skylar gets married to Jackson! I’ll drop by her school and get her leaves approved on her behalf tomorrow. We’ll make sure she shows up during the wedding ceremony.”
Jackson looked at the invitation card to the wedding ceremony and got pumped up all of a sudden. He thought luck was on his side because he could finally spend the rest of his life with the woman of his dreams.
Meanwhile, Skylar, who had returned, had a bad feeling about it because someone showed up out of nowhere and proposed.
She confronted Jackson, yet, he didn’t seem to have an idea of what was going on as well.
Soon, Skylar received countless calls from Wesley after she returned to the dormitory. As she couldn’t take it anymore, she decided to block her uncle’s contact.
Finally, she learned about her uncle and his family’s true colors. They were a shameless bunch that would forsake her for their sakes. If it weren’t due to her grandmother, she would have severed ties with them without any hesitation.
Wesley was her late grandmother’s favorite child. She didn’t want to disappoint her beloved grandmother. Thus, she had to tolerate the absurd request that had been brought up by her so-called uncle.
The next day, the moment Skylar walked out of the dormitory, she caught a glimpse of Jackson at the hall downstairs, surveying the surroundings.
The horn-rimmed glasses he had put on made him stand out amongst the bunch of good-looking young men and women in the university. He had successfully grabbed the attention of the passerby with his geeky look.
“Where does this loser come from? Is he waiting for his girlfriend?” Skylar heard a few ladies discussing and teasing about the geeky man opposite their dormitory.
Jackson shouted, “S-Skylar!”
