In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO -
Chapter 90
She was stunned when a middle-aged lady of fifty years old scrutinizedher from head to toe.
As if she was buying stock, the lady nodded at Skylar before checkingout her face then her butt.
“She looks alright. Her hips aren't too small, so should be quite fertile.”At that moment, Sharon happened to walk out of the house. Shechuckled in reply, “Lily, I told you that my niece is a beauty.Furthermore, she’s a student at the Southwood Film Academy. Nexttime, you might even have a star in your family.”
Feeling uncomfortable at being discussed openly, Skylar shot a glanceat Wesley.
Wesley was all smiles. “Lily, if you're happy with what you see, youshould seize the opportunity and set a date.”
Skylar's expression darkened. “What are you talking about? What doyou mean by setting a date?”
At that moment, the door to the washroom opened. A guy in thickglasses and a checkered shirt stepped out. He looked as if he wasalready balding.
He stared stiffly at Skylar when he saw her.
Lily quickly tugged at her son's sleeve. “Setting a date for yourwedding, of course. I have already negotiated the dowry of threehundred thousand to be paid to your family. My son is a governmentservant and has fully paid for his house in cash. Once married, he plansto get a car. He's a real catch, you know.”
Skylar glared at Wesley and his wife. She gritted her teeth andreprimanded, “What gives you the right to decide for me? Aren't wesupposed to talk about my mom? And now you have sold me off?”Sharon rolled her eyes at Skylar. “Lily has explained to you how goodtheir family is. We're doing this for your own good. The boyfriend youbrought home last time doesn't look decent and is so much older thanyou. It means he’s not serious. You should replace someone who is morereliable.”
Wesley agreed. “Your aunt is right. The wedding date has been set andthe hotel has also been booked. Why does a girl need to study somuch? In the end, doesn't she just end up being a mother and ahousewife?”
When Wesley and Sharon pushed the idea, Skylar grew nervous as shefelt something was wrong.
They were desperately trying to marry her off for that three hundredthousand in dowry. The figure set off alarm bells in her head.
When she sold her body to Tobias, she had also asked for the sameamount. What's up with me and three hundred thousand?
Skylar looked at Lily, “Who asked you to come over?”
Lily was stunned at being questioned as she didn't realize how obviousshe made it out to be.
If not for Tanya, she wouldn't even dream that something thiswonderful was possible.
She had been a maid for the Hansons for many years. Suddenly, Tanyasuggested that she wanted to replace her son a bride and offered to payfor the dowry and wedding expenses.
As long as the bride was someone named Skylar.
When she arrived, Lily thought that it would be an old and ugly womanHowever, she was surprised at how gorgeous Skylar was.
Lily replied connivingly, “No one asked me to do this. When my son sawyour picture, it was love at first sight. As his mother, it's my duty tomake this happen for him.”
Sharon added, “Skylar, three hundred thousand for the dowry is a lot ofmoney. You should be satisfied with it. Furthermore, the hotel bookedfor the wedding is also a grand one. Look at how well your futuremother-in-law treats you.”
Wesley passed Skylar a copy of the wedding invitation. Everything wasproceeding at lightning speed
It felt as if her wedding would just go ahead without her agreement.Tearing the invitation card to pieces, Skylar's eyes were filled with rage.“All of you are crazy to bully me this way. Wesley, I'm your niece forgoodness sake, not your enemy.”
The atmosphere was tense.
Wesley continued to reason with Skylar. “The dowry is three hundredthousand and I will give you half of it. It's enough for your mom'smedical fees.”
Skylar tried to calm herself down when she realized this was howhypocritical her relatives were.
