Chapter 1632 

Victor’s face flushed red with anger. “I don’t need you to boss me around. Mom and Dad agreed I could drop out, so why do you still care?” 

Garrett retorted, “If you weren’t my little brother, I wouldn’t bother.” 

At around ten years old, this kid’s tantrums screamed of being the apple of his family’s eye, pampered and adored. 

In contrast, Skyler’s sister, Iris, at the same tender age, never dared to kick up a fuss. Even when scared, she’d cry quietly in her room. Her maturity was a heart-wrenching sight. 

Thinking of Iris, Skyler felt even more determined to work hard and earn money. Only with independence could she hope to improve life for herself and her sister. 

The housekeeper broke the tension. “Mr. Garrett, Braiden has arrived with the new instructor.” 

Without looking up, Garrett said, “Have them wait a bit; I need to deal with this little rascal first.”e2 

The housekeeper turned to the visitors. “Mr. Braiden, Miss Skyler, please take a seat.” 

Skyler wanted to sit as far away from Zavier as possible, but Braiden took a seat not far from him. With no choice, she sat next to Braiden. 

The housekeeper soon brought over some hot tea and cookies. “I’m sorry for the wait. Please make yourselves comfortable.” 

Skyler would wait as long as it took for the money, but Zavier’s presence, even though he hardly noticed her, made her feel intense pressure. 

The bickering brothers continued their fight until Victor suddenly blurted out, “Garrett, if the pretty lady is my new tutor, I’ll agree to study.” 

Garrett finally turned his attention to Skyler and Braiden. He glanced briefly at Braiden, then his gaze settled on Skyler, “Hello there!” 

Skyler replied politely, “Hello!” 

Garrett chided the housekeeper, “We have guests, and you didn’t tell me earlier?” 

The housekeeper was at a loss for words. 

Hadn’t she mentioned it? This was what you’d call being smitten at first sight! 

Garrett’s smile beamed as he turned to Braiden. “So, this lovely young lady is the new tutor you’ve found for my little brother?” 

Braiden nodded eagerly. “Yes, Skyler is quite skilled. Whatever Mr. Victor wishes to learn, she can teach.” 

“Skyler? That’s a lovely name,” Garrett remarked. 

Skyler offered an awkward smile. 

Garrett continued, “Braiden, let’s have Miss Skyler come over and teach my brother music from now on.” 

Braiden hesitated, “Shouldn’t Miss Skyler play a piece or two for us first?” 

“Come on, Braiden,” Garrett laughed off the suggestion. “We’ve known each other for years. Don’t you think I trust your judgment? Anyone you bring to our home must be the best.” 

Braiden agreed, though he knew this wasn’t Garrett’s usual approach. In the past, every musical genius brought to the Horton household had to perform a test piece. 

But Braiden held his tongue. 

Garrett looked at Skyler again. “So it’s settled then. You’ll come to our place and give music lessons to my brother.” 

Skyler was about to agree when she felt a chill run down her spine. Looking up, she locked eyes with Zavier’s icy stare. 

He only glanced at her briefly before looking away, as if he didn’t recognize her at all.
