Chapter 1719

“Grandpa, I know which path to take into the future, so you don’t need to worry about me. What’s most important

right now is for you to take care of yourself and not let those people get under your skin.”

Zavier’s voice suddenly echoed from the doorway, interrupting their conversation.

Skyler whirled around, startled. Zavier, who had supposedly left earlier, had reappeared at the living room entrance

without her noticing. “You-you didn’t leave?”

Striding in with a light and graceful gait, Zavier seemed unaffected by the earlier melancholy. His eyes shone with a

bright intensity.

Hudson frowned disapprovingly, “What do you think you know? If you really knew anything, I wouldn’t be an old

man losing sleep over your future.”

Zavier sat down next to Hudson, “Grandpa, I know everything you’ve been doing is to help me. You kept Skyler here

to show those sharks that even though I’m not fit to take over Rivera Inc., I’m still your grandson, and you wouldn’t

just leave me high and dry. But have you considered what all this is doing to this scaredy-cat?”

Hudson replied confidently, “I’ve got her back. They wouldn’t dare touch her.”e2

Zavier pressed on, “But you know what they say about this scaredy-cat behind her back, don’t you?”

Hudson said firmly, “Skyler is your fiancée. Stop calling her a scaredy-cat. She was just defending you a moment

ago.”

Zavier turned to Skyler, “You were speaking up for me?”

Skyler responded matter-of-factly, “I was just telling the truth.”

Little did she know, she was the real naif, thinking the grandfather and grandson were at odds when they were

actually putting on a show for everyone to see. She hadn’t seen through it at all before. And she wondered if those

smarter than her had caught on. Zavier chuckled, “When everyone else thinks I’m down and out, you stand up for

me. I can’t decide if that makes you foolish or something else altogether.”

Skyler was speechless. This man sure had a sharp tongue. She wished she hadn’t bothered defending him.

Hudson reached out, tapping Zavier on the head, “You’re a good kid with a mouth that could start a riot. Even your

concern comes out sounding like an insult.”

Zavier shot back, “If I weren’t sharp-tongued, how would I deal with those vipers?”

Hudson, wishing to bypass the banter, took Skyler’s hand and placed it in Zavier’s, “Skyler is a good kid. You better

treat her right. No more letting her get pushed around.”

Zavier clasped Skyler’s hand firmly in his, “Since she’s spoken well of me, I won’t let anyone bully her again.”
