Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 1124 Brother Was Kidnapped

Why? Why did it turn out this way?

Shirley used to trust Skyler so much, but now she was utterly disappointed, especially when she heard him personally admitting that he wanted the marriage solely because of guilt. It broke her heart.
