Skyler's heart skipped a beat.
She didn't expect Old Master Wilson to be so perceptive.
She smiled sweetly, "Of course it's true. Grandfather, Logan and I got our marriage certificate from the Civil Affairs Bureau, and it can be verified."
"Really?" Old Master Wilson seemed a little incredulous, his slightly cloudy yet shrewd eyes scrutinizing her carefully.
Skyler smiled even more charmingly, "Yes, of course it's true."
With Skyler's unequivocal answer, Old Master Wilson finally nodded in disbelief, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Good... if you're willing to marry Logan, it's the best arrangement. Skyler, do you know that from the moment I first saw you, I knew you were the one. I've been observing you for a year and I know what kind of girl you are. That's why I insisted that Logan marry you."
"My grandson, don't be fooled by his external facade of power and influence. In reality... he doesn't even have a confidant by his side. The people from the Lee family are all jackals and tigers, and he's very lonely. I'm afraid that after I'm gone, there won't be anyone in this world who truly cares for him..."
"Grandfather, what are you talking about? You'll live a long and healthy life."
"No... I want you to promise me first," Old Master Wilson suddenly grabbed Skyler's hand.
His hands were trembling, but his grip was surprisingly strong.
"Skyler, promise your grandfather that no matter what happens in the future, you will take care of Logan for me! Don't give up on him!"
Skyler was confused as to why Old Master Wilson was saying this.
"Promise me!" The old man's eyes were slightly red as he stared at Skyler.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Skyler nodded. "Okay, I promise you."
"During her contract period, she will take good care of Logan. Consider it as a way to repay Old Master Wilson for his care for her over the past year," Skyler silently thought to herself.
After leaving Old Master Wilson, Skyler didn't see Logan.
She thought he had probably gone back first.
Skyler didn't care and hurriedly walked out, wanting to get back to work.
But as soon as she left the hospital, she ran into Isabella, who was wearing seven-inch high heels and getting out of her car.
Why was Isabella here?
"Isabella, give me back the ring!"
Without thinking, Skyler took a few steps forward and grabbed Isabella's wrist.
She smelled a strong fragrance from Isabella's body, the scent of her 'Sacred Tears' perfume. However, Isabella had sprayed too much, making the originally sweet and mysterious fragrance of orchids become unpleasant and pungent.
"And my perfume, give it back to me too!" Skyler demanded.
"Skyler, it's you again?" Isabella turned her head and her face immediately changed.
"Why do you always show up everywhere like a ghost?" She spoke sharply, but her eyes revealed a hint of guilt.
Isabella was extremely lucky that she didn't bring the ring with her today, or else the wealth and prosperity that was about to be hers might have been ruined by this despicable woman, Skyler.
"If you give me back the ring and the perfume, I won't bother you anymore. Otherwise..." Skyler tightened her grip on Isabella's wrist.
Although she was a woman, her experience of working outside for a year had made her stronger than Isabella, who was a rich girl with delicate hands.
With a forceful grip, Isabella's face contorted in pain.
"Ah... it hurts... let go... the perfume... I spilled it, it's gone! And as for the ring... I didn't wear it today... I really didn't wear it out!"
"That bottle of perfume was my mom's favorite, and you spilled it!"
Skyler noticed Isabella's empty neck and felt both anxious and angry, increasing the pressure in her grip.
"Ah, it hurts! Be gentle... be gentle..."
Isabella was in so much pain that she couldn't help but plead for mercy.
"Okay, I was wrong, it's my fault... let me go... let me go... I'll give you back the ring, is that okay?"
Skyler released her grip. "Fine, where's the ring?"
Isabella rubbed her red wrist. "I already told you, I didn't wear it out!"
"You're lying to me..."
Seeing that Skyler was about to use force again, Isabella quickly spoke up.
"Hey, wait a minute, I can give you the ring back, but... you have to pay me for it! Give me two hundred thousand, and I'll give you the ring!"
"Two hundred thousand! Why don't you just rob me! That ring was mine to begin with, why should I pay you two hundred thousand!"
Skyler had never seen such shameless behavior before.
"I... I can't do anything about it either." Isabella's eyes turned red, as if she was even more aggrieved than Skyler.
"I'll be honest with you, that ring of yours is a men's ring. I can't even wear it myself, and I was planning on pawning it off. My mom already went to the pawnshop yesterday to ask for a price, and they said it could fetch up to two hundred thousand. If you don't give me the money, my mom definitely won't let you take the ring back!"
Skyler bit her lip and didn't say anything.
She knew Isabella was telling the truth.
Her aunt Emma hated her to the bone.
If that ring was pawned off for two hundred thousand, there was no way her aunt would just give it back to her for free!
As Skyler hesitated, Isabella was also sizing her up.
Seeing that Skyler was wearing a set of designer clothes today, her temperament was highlighted as soft and bright, and she even had a bit of the noble air of a former rich girl.
Although she knew that Skyler was most likely wearing knockoffs, she still felt jealous and her eyes turned red.
She wanted to extort some money from Skyler no matter what, and make her feel the pain.
"Here's the deal. Since we were at least sisters before, I can promise to give you two more days. As long as you can raise two hundred thousand for me within two days, I'll give you the ring back. Otherwise, even if you have thirty thousand, you won't be able to redeem it once it's pawned off!"
After Isabella finished speaking, she jumped into the car and drove away.
Although it was a bit of a pity that she couldn't meet that big shot today as planned.
But for now, she had to avoid Skyler.
She couldn't let Skyler find out that someone had come looking for her because of that ring.
Skyler didn't pay attention to Isabella's movements.
She stood on the side of the road, head down, her mind filled with thoughts of the 200,000 "ransom."
That ring was the key to finding out who had taken her virginity.
It was the only clue.
Even though she no longer held any hope for that man, a voice deep inside her told her that the ring was incredibly important and that she had to get it back.
But where was she going to get 200,000?
"Miss Skyler," a familiar male voice came from behind her.
