She was stunned when a middle-aged lady of fifty years old scrutinized her from head to toe.
As if she was buying stock, the lady nodded at Skylar before checking out 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. She chuckled in reply, “Lily, I told you that
my niece is a beauty. Furthermore, she’s a student at the Southwood Film Academy. Next time, you
might even have a star in your family.”
Feeling uncomfortable at being discussed openly, Skylar shot a glance at Wesley.
Wesley was all smiles. “Lily, if you’re happy with what you see, you should seize the opportunity and
set a date.”
Skylar’s expression darkened. “What are you talking about? What do you mean by setting a date?”
At that moment, the door to the washroom opened. A guy in thick glasses and a checkered shirt

He stared stiffly at Skylar when he saw her.
Lily quickly tugged at her son’s sleeve. “Setting a date for your wedding, of course. I have already
negotiated the dowry of three hundred thousand to be paid to your family. My son is a government
servant and has fully paid for his house in cash. Once married, he plans to get a car. He’s a real catch,
you know.”
Skylar glared at Wesley and his wife. She gritted her teeth and reprimanded, “What gives you the right
to decide for me? Aren’t we supposed to talk about my mom? And now you have sold me off?”
Sharon rolled her eyes at Skylar. “Lily has explained to you how good their family is. We’re doing this
for your own good. The boyfriend you brought home last time doesn’t look decent and is so much older
than you. It means he’s not serious. You should find someone who is more reliable.”
Wesley agreed. “Your aunt is right. The wedding date has been set and the hotel has also been
booked. Why does a girl need to study so much? In the end, doesn’t she just end up being a mother
and a housewife?”
When Wesley and Sharon pushed the idea, Skylar grew nervous as she felt something was wrong.
They were desperately trying to marry her off for that three hundred thousand in dowry. The figure set
off alarm bells in her head.
When she sold her body to Tobias, she had also asked for the same amount. 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 obvious she made it out to be.
If not for Tanya, she wouldn’t even dream that something this wonderful was possible.
She had been a maid for the Hansons for many years. Suddenly, Tanya suggested that she wanted to
find her son a bride and offered to pay for the dowry and wedding expenses.
As long as the bride was someone named Skylar.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she arrived, Lily thought that it would be an old and ugly woman. However, she was surprised at
how gorgeous Skylar was.
Lily replied connivingly, “No one asked me to do this. When my son saw your picture, it was love at first
sight. As his mother, it’s my duty to make this happen for him.”
Sharon added, “Skylar, three hundred thousand for the dowry is a lot of money. You should be satisfied
with it. Furthermore, the hotel booked for the wedding is also a grand one. Look at how well your future
mother-in-law treats you.”
Wesley passed Skylar a copy of the wedding invitation. Everything was proceeding 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 for goodness sake, not your enemy.”
The atmosphere was tense.
Wesley continued to reason with Skylar. “The dowry is three hundred thousand and I will give you half
of it. It’s enough for your mom’s medical fees.”
Skylar tried to calm herself down when she realized this was how hypocritical her relatives were.
