Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 1672

Chapter 1672 

Desiree thought Skyler had learned the truth from Zavier-that she wasn’t his girlfriend at all-and was just trying to rile her up. 

Desiree couldn’t stand it. With a glance that could freeze hell itself, she signaled her wing-woman, “Allie, handle it.” 

Allie, ever the loyal sidekick, stepped forward, her hand poised to deliver a slap that would ring through the halls. But Skyler, quick as a cat, caught Allie’s wrist mid-air. “What do you think you’re doing?” 

The two hadn’t expected such a burst of strength from Skyler, who always seemed as if a strong breeze could knock her over. They were momentarily stunned. 

Allie looked to Desiree for direction, and with a subtle nod, Desiree ordered her to back off. 

Once they were alone, Desiree’s eyes bore into Skyler like icicles. “Do you know that I could have you kicked out of Capital College?” 

Skyler bit her lip, refusing to back down under Desiree’s glacial stare.e2 

Desiree continued, her voice dripping with venom. “With just a flick of my finger, not only could I have you tossed out on your ear, but I could also ensure you leave a legacy-a scandal that will be the talk of every dorm room and dining hall.” 

Skyler was timid, not a fan of stirring up trouble, but she wasn’t foolish. She knew the Rivera family had orchestrated her public speaking alongside Zavier at the opening ceremony. Regardless of Zavier’s acceptance or the Rivera family’s opinion of her, to those in the know, she was the fiancée chosen for Zavier by Hudson himself. 

As Zavier had said the night before, by wearing the title of his fiancée, she represented him. And how many in the Capital would dare touch her? “You go ahead and try. Don’t come crying to me when it backfires.” 

Fuming, Desiree clenched her teeth. “Fine, let the games begin.” 

If Zavier were to go public with Skyler’s status, revealing her as his fiancée, Desiree wouldn’t dare lay a finger on her. But currently, only a handful at the college were privy to this fact. 

Desiree could easily find a few thugs to ruin Skyler’s future. 

With no afternoon classes, Skyler decided to look for another part-time job-preferably one that paid by the hour and settled accounts immediately. 

She packed her backpack and was ready to head out when she ran into Emma and Amanda coming back to the dorm. The two were in the middle of a conversation and seemed thrilled about something. 

Spotting Skyler with her bag, they chimed in, “Skyler, heading out again?” 

Skyler nodded, “Yeah, looking for another side gig.” 

Emma grabbed her arm, “You can always find a job, but a gathering of heartthrobs isn’t an everyday sight.” 

Skyler was puzzled. “What gathering of heartthrobs?” 

Amanda jumped in, “You’re always busy chasing dollars, completely out of the loop with campus life. There’s a big basketball final this afternoon between our Capital College guys and the team from the university across town.” 

Skyler knew about the game but hadn’t paid any attention. “I’m not really into basketball.” 

Emma teased, “Who’s into the game? We’re into the guys playing the game.” 

Amanda stated, “All the hotties from both teams will be there. It’s our chance to feast our eyes. You can’t just sit this one out.” 

Skyler had even less interest in “hotties” than in basketball. Her mind was set on earning enough to bring her sister to the Capital. “You guys enjoy the game. I’ll pass.” 

But Emma and Amanda wouldn’t take no for an answer. Each took an arm, declaring in unison, “We came back especially for you. You’re going, whether you like it or not.”
