    “The Szar family’s stuff ain’t sorted yet, so what’s the point in you going to her?”


    Jeremy’s words sessfully stopped Steven in his tracks. Steven turned around and said, “The


    rtionship between the Szars 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 Szars, 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


    Szars, and the folks in our family are against it too. So for now, the Szars are a real pain in the


    neck.”O


    Jeremy asked, “Need a hand?”


    Steven replied. “Jeremy, don’t underestimate me. I may be at a dead end with the Szars 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 Szars, especially Dani, 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 wille knocking.”


    Steven got Jeremy’s drift. “Don’t worry. I won’t be stingy when ites 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 nced at Lucas, his reproach clear.


    Lucas quickly exined, “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 avable.”


    Zavier asked, “Didn’t I call you?”
