Chapter 129

Paul's parents possessed valuable family heirlooms, the Ziegler family's treasures.

"My mom told me to wear this bracelet," Paul messaged. "She said it would help her get a grandson sooner. Isn't that superstitious? I'm waiting for you to say it is, and I'll screenshot it for my mom."

The lengthy message revealed Paul's frequent pressure to marry.

Skylar laughed, zooming in on the bracelet. It was a blessed Ziegler heirloom, said to bring blessings. She tapped her phone and replied, "Not superstitious. It can help you get a grandson sooner. No other issues. You can keep it."

Paul was dumbfounded. He showed Joe, who sat beside him in the car.

"Mr. Martin," Paul said, "I believe Miss Sullivan's antique restoration skills are underutilized. A career as a fortune teller and treasure appraiser would make her Jipsburg City's leading expert."

Joe glanced at Paul's phone. Skylar's replies to Paul were far more frequent than to him. He looked intently at Paul. "Do you often chat with her privately?"

"Not often, just a few times."

Paul pondered the bracelet and its purported ability to increase fertility, remembering his father's five sons. That seemed impressive!

Joe checked his own WhatsApp chat with Skylar. Her replies were typically a laconic "Hmm," suggesting indifference. He hadn't returned to Galaxy Villa last night, recalling her mention of divorce. He gently tapped his phone screen, accidentally initiating a voice chat.

After replying to Paul, Skylar looked up at a disappointed Jeffrey.

"Tricks? Is that how you see us?" Jeffrey retorted. "When did your heart become so dark? Did your foster mother tell you something? They want to drive a wedge between us. You should discern the truth and not be deceived."

Sadie's eyes were red. "I'm your mother. I carried you for ten months. How can you think so poorly of us? Of me?"

"This is too much!" Maisy exclaimed, feeling she no longer understood Skylar.

Chapter 129

She wondered if Skylar wanted to avoid the Williams family. Compared to Janine, the Williams family was wealthy, yet Skylar seemed content to forgo that wealth for a harder life with Janine. Maisy considered Skylar foolish.

Suddenly, a WhatsApp voice message notification popped up. It was from Joe, surprising Skylar, as he usually called or texted. She wondered why he'd sent a voice message.

Concerned, she listened. Everyone watched, wondering who would send Skylar a voice message at that time.
