Chapter 1568
Skylar glanced at Elsie. Elsie was a young woman, around 20, and very pretty, radiating the kind of youthful energy you would expect from someone fresh out of school.
However, what surprised Skylar was how similar Elsie's features were to hers. Elsie was carefully looking at her and Joe, her demeanor delicate and full of sympathy.
"I'll take a look," Skylar said gently.
As Elsie drew closer, she blushed slightly. She had heard that Skylar was nearly 30, older than her by several years. But looking at Skylar up close, it was clear that she didn't look anywhere near 30.
She looked more or less her age. People also said Skylar grew up in the countryside, but she didn't carry a trace of the typical rustic air that one might expect.
Her demeanor and speech all exuded a warmth and closeness that made others feel at ease.
It wasn't just men who were drawn to Skylar-even Elsie felt herself blushing when speaking to her. She awkwardly took out the emerald pendant and handed it to her.
Then, she repeated what she had said to Joe on the plane. Afterward, she observed Skylar's expression.
Skylar remained calm, her eyes focusing on the emerald pendant in her hands. The pendant was made from emerald, though it appeared to have been repaired using gilding, likely due to a previous crack.
Although the emerald wasn't of the highest quality and was a bit ordinary, it was still undeniably an antique, showing signs of age.
"Well... this isn't a negative item. The dream becoming reality you mentioned was probably just a coincidence. There's no need to worry too much. Or perhaps something's been affecting your state of mind recently.
"It's like the saying goes, 'what you think about during the day, you dream about at night.' Just relax," Skylar explained.
Elsie wasn't surprised by Skylar's response. After all, this emerald pendant had been passed down through her grandmother's family, and she had never heard of anything unusual happening with it. She had just hoped that it would allow her to talk to Joe.
Elsie didn't truly believe in the negative items Skylar often mentioned. Deep down, she couldn't accept the idea. But on the surface, she acted as though a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.
"Thank you, Mrs. Martin. I appreciate it. Just like you said, a lot has been happening around me lately, and I tend to overthink. It's natural for me to have dreams based on what's been on my mind during the day.
"The emerald pendant was passed down from my grandmother. I don't want it to be a negative item."
Skylar smiled and nodded. "Keep a positive outlook and face everything with optimism. Everything will be fine."
Elsie felt a tightness in her chest, and an uncontrollable feeling of jealousy surfaced.
She thought to herself, "Everything will be fine... But will it really be fine?"
She didn't have Skylar's good luck. She didn't have Joe's protection.
Hence, the problems her family was facing could only be overcome through her efforts. She had to fight to save them.
In that moment, Skylar's words felt

Joe hadn't seen Skylar in a few days. Despite his earlier teasing about her weightloss, the first thing he did after returning to Galaxy Villa wasn't to eat.

Instead, he immediately insisted on joining Skylar for a shower.
Later, in bed, they spent hours together. Skylar was left utterly exhausted.
