Skylar's P.O.V.

Anthony's face showed surprise, "How could your injury be related to this?"

I sighed helplessly, "You know that besides me, the Lopez Family doesn't have any other connections at Strakovski Jewelry. But Bella wants to marry Gerald, so she can only find a way through me. My mother used what my father left for me to threaten me to ask Lukas to help Bella get into Strakovski Jewelry."

I looked weary, "I really had no other option. The Hughes Family was hesitating and didn't know which family to form an alliance with. My mother kept urging me to beg Lukas for help. But she pushed too hard, and considering Lukas's personality, there's no way she would easily let someone with questionable behavior like Bella to enter the company. I guess even if I asked her, it wouldn't work. I was left with no choice but to resort to a desperate measure and sneak into the Lopez Family villa to steal something."

Anthony frowned deeply, "So, you got injured when you went back to the Lopez Family villa to take something."

I nodded, "When I was taking the item, my mother came back. At that time, I was with Ava, and I didn't want my mother to see her and cause her any trouble. So we tried to climb down from the second floor through the window. Halfway through, I was already nervous, and the sound of my mother unlocking the door startled me, causing me to fall and sprain my foot."

Anthony looked at me with a touch of heartache, "Did you get the item?"

With a hint of disappointment, I replied, "I didn't get anything; it was an empty shell. My mother had separated the envelope and the letter."

Anthony felt even more heartache. He didn't expect me to be injured and busy for nothing.

He was about to comfort me when his phone rang again, interrupting the moment. Anthony sighed inwardly, realizing it was a call from Ella.

As much as he sympathized with Ella's situation, he couldn't shake the feeling of disgust, knowing that she had originally planned to target him.

Hesitant but obliged to answer the call, Anthony picked up, and an otherworldly look appeared on his jaded face.

Ella's voice sounded tearful, "Anthony, I'm going to marry Gerald. I won't bother you anymore, so you can rest assured. I won't have any way to pester you."

Anthony furrowed his brows, trying to remain composed, "Do you need anything?"

Ella's voice was filled with sorrow, "I'm pregnant. I want to see you before I go to register with Gerald. Where are you?"

Anthony's expression changed slightly upon hearing the news, "You're pregnant?"

Ella cried with self-mockery, "Yes, I'm pregnant. Now the whole of Mediopolis knows about Gerald and me. He's like a stinky bug, and even my parents will make me marry him."

Anthony pursed his lips, finding it hard to respond to her emotional outpouring, "That's your own business," he finally said, trying to

distance himself from the situation.

Ella sobbed, "Anthony, you're really ruthless."

Anthony remained silent.

Ella felt heartbroken; she had liked this person for so long, but in the end, things turned out like this. Her emotions were raw, and her pain was palpable as she said while crying, "Anthony, I want to see you one last time. Can I?" Anthony's eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a moment before replying, "I'm at the hospital."

"Then I'll come to find you right now," Ella quickly responded, her desperation evident in her voice.

Anthony hung up the phone, knowing that Ella would definitely come over.

He turned to look at me. "Skylar, there may be a turning point in the situation." He said.

I looked at him in surprise.

Anthony explained, "Ella is pregnant, and the Rhodes Family is asking Gerald to take responsibility. They are getting registered tomorrow. As long as the marriage between Gerald and Bella falls through, your father shouldn't rush you anymore. This might not solve the root problem, but at least it can buy us some time."

I was taken aback by this sudden turn of events. I pursed my lips and asked after a while, "She got pregnant so quickly?"

Anthony chuckled softly, "It can be detected within a week."

I felt a bit awkward about prying into others' business but sincerely thanked him for trying to help me in the way he can. "Thank you for everything." I said.

Anthony smiled and shook his head, "No need to thank me. You saved me before, so I'm just returning the favor."noveldrama

"But it was because of me that Bella retaliated against you, and you helped me online, after all," I said, somewhat a bit embarrassed.

"You are different from her," Anthony looked at me with a smile in his eyes.

Third person P.O.V.

Outside the door, Lukas's eyes darkened. He sneered mockingly, wondering if this solution could really solve the root problem.

His gaze fell on Skylar's swollen foot, and he felt an inexplicable pang of heartache.

Thinking about what Skylar had said, Lukas suddenly understood why he couldn't find anything even after investigating for a whole day. Skylar must have encountered some trouble, and it seemed that Victoria was using something to threaten her. His eyes deepened, remembering that he had warned Victoria not to lay a hand on Skylar again, or he wouldn't be polite.

Now, it seemed that Victoria had completely ignored his warning, so he didn't need to be polite anymore.

At that moment, his phone vibrated, and Martins was calling.

Lukas didn't want Skylar to know he was at the door, so he quickly walked away with his phone.

With a serious expression, he answered the call, "What's the matter?"

Martins's voice was tense, "Mr. Strakovski, we've caught the person."
