Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1688

Skyler was done engaging with him. She closed her eyes, trying to drift off into sleep. Zavier, for his part, didn't bother her further, and the night passed without incident.

The following morning, they rose with the dawn, even joining Hudson for a hearty breakfast of scrambled eggs and bacon before heading off to school together.

The half-hour journey to campus was cloaked in silence, neither of them uttering a single word until they reached the school grounds.

Zavier dropped Skyler off at the same corner as the morning before, and she made the rest of the trek on foot.

With no morning classes, Skyler headed straight back to her dorm room. As soon as she stepped through the door, Emma blurted out, "Skyler, you've got to check out our college's homepage, there's some major drama happening."

"What's going on?" Skyler asked, pulling out her phone to log onto the campus network.d1

A pop-up notice was the first thing she saw:

—Desiree from the Finance Department, suspected of criminal activity, is under police investigation. Her enrollment at our institution has been terminated.

Skyler couldn't help but think that the Riveras were truly impressive. When Hudson made a move, what chance did Desiree’s family stand against the Rivera might?

She felt relieved that she had sought Hudson out the previous night. Otherwise, it might have been her facing expulsion.

Emma was curious, "What on earth did Desiree do? She was Zavier's girl. The school might not care about the Meador's reputation, but surely they'd consider the Rivera's clout."

Amanda chimed in, "Suspected of a crime? That's got to be serious."

Emma turned to Skyler, "Do you know anything?"

Skyler knew, but couldn't spill the beans. "You guys are more plugged in than I am. If you don't know, how could I?"
