Chapter 1686

In just five short minutes, Skyler got into the special car sent by the Rivera family. With few vehicles on the road at night, the journey was smooth, and she arrived in just half an hour.

The old butler had informed Hudson of Skyler’s imminent arrival, so Hudson was still up, waiting in the living room, a rare break in his usual routine.

Upon hearing of her arrival, Hudson even made a move to greet her in person.
