Chapter 1634
Even in her naiveté, Skyler could sense Garrett’s intentions, and a wave of fear washed over her. After all, she was
in his domain, and if he chose to harm her, she wouldn’t have a chance to cry for help. Her fingers fumbled quietly
for her cell phone inside her small purse, contemplating a distress call, but
she hesitated to make the next move.
Garrett squeezed in closer to her again. “Skyler! You’re Skyler, right? How about I call you Sky from now on?”
Skyler recoiled in alarm, her legs so weak she could hardly move. “Garrett, please show some respect. I’m
engaged.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the face of danger, her thoughts flew to Zavier. Zavier, the aloof second son of the Rivera family, might not have
cared for her, but his name carried weight. As his fiancée, who would dare touch her?
Skyler’s blend of fear and newfound defiance seemed to amuse Garrett. He burst into laughter. “Ha! Are you
engaged? Skyler, what do you think I’m going to do to you? Sure, you’re pretty, but I’ve met plenty of women far
more beautiful than you, ha!”
Her face flushed, but whether it’s from fright or embarrassment, Skyler couldn’t tell.
Garrett settled back down, his expression turning serious as he gazed at Skyler. “I’ve had my share of tutors who
came here under the guise of teaching my brother, but they were actually after my dad or trying to seduce me. I
was just testing you… Now, let me be clear. You passed my test. You can start teaching at my place tomorrow.”e2
Whether it was a test or a power play to humiliate a stranger, Skyler refused to swallow her pride. She glared at
Garrett, fury rising. “Garrett, I’m sorry to say you didn’t pass my test!”
With that, she stood up and left. Despite trembling legs, Skyler’s steps were graceful as she walked away. Eighteen
years of upbringing by the Blue family hadn’t been for nothing.
Garrett watched her slim and graceful retreating figure, a smirk playing on his lips. “You know it’s hard to hail a cab
from here, right? Are you sure you want to leave just like that?”
Skyler ignored him and quickened her pace.
His smile gradually faded into a frown. “Coming right up to my doorstep and then playing hard to get? If you want
to play games, I’m game.”
Stepping out of the Horton estate felt like escaping a tiger’s den. Skyler’s nerves slackened, and her legs went
weak. She had to lean against a roadside tree to stay upright.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was a residential area, and there were no taxis in sight. Now, she couldn’t even call a ride.
She pulled out her phone, thinking of reaching out to Zavier to see if he was nearby and could give her a lift. As she
took out her phone, she remembered she didn’t even have Zavier’s contact information. She didn’t have any way
to reach anyone from the Rivera family. After all, she was just a toy the Blue family had offered up, insignificant
even to her own family, let alone the Riveras.
Beyond the Rivera family, she knew no one in the Capital.
Skyler pocketed her phone with a sigh, resigning herself to walking out of the neighborhood to find a cab, when
suddenly, a yellow sports car sped towards her like a bullet.
