Tell Him the Truth

"I..." Skyler wasn't used to being suddenly embraced by Logan like this.

His cold, masculine scent overwhelmed her, making her heart race for a moment.

Involuntarily, the image of the man from the club that night flashed in her mind. She quickly averted her gaze, afraid to meet Logan's scorching eyes.

"What... what are you talking about? This is my ring, it has always been mine!" Skyler deliberately ignored Logan's deep questioning and fumbled to retrieve her ring from his hand.

She couldn't face this question head-on.

The experience at the Nightshade Club was the past she least wanted to mention in front of others.

Before Skyler's fingertips could touch the black obsidian diamond ring, Logan snatched it back.

"Skyler, listen to me. I'm asking you where this ring came from. Look into my eyes and tell me seriously. Why do you have this ring?"

Logan's tall and lean figure pressed down on her forcefully in the next second. He wouldn't let her escape.

He wanted to know the answer. His deep and hoarse voice seemed to be suppressing some emotion.

His pitch-black eyes were so deep that Skyler couldn't see the bottom, as if he could devour her in the next second.

Skyler couldn't even look Logan in the eye! She lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

"I've already said it, the ring is mine...

Mr. Lee, can you please give it back to me? This ring is very important to me..."

"It's yours..." Logan grabbed her chin. "Just tell me honestly, how did you get it? I want to hear the truth."

Logan forced her to look into his eyes.

In that moment, Skyler's heart skipped a beat, and even her breath was held.

Logan's gaze was so deep and complex.

She looked into his dark and profound pupils, as if she could be drawn in at any moment.

"I..."

For some reason, under his gaze, Skyler's defenses wavered.

Perhaps she could tell this man in front of her about her forced blind date to pay for her mother's medical expenses.

Although what happened afterward was completely beyond her expectations.

But she wasn't the one who did something wrong. If he sympathized with her situation, maybe he would let her stay...

"Okay, I can tell you the origin of this ring."

Skyler took a deep breath and decided to take a chance.

Her eyes were slightly unfocused as she fell into memories.

"Just recently, I promised my uncle and aunt to meet someone... That night, when I met that person, something unexpected happened. This ring is what I got at that time."

As soon as Skyler finished speaking, Logan narrowed his eyes sharply.

His gaze fell on the inner circle of the obsidian ring, where there should have been a row of cuneiform characters engraved with a special technique.

Normally, they were invisible unless viewed under a certain light, but now the light was shining directly on the ring.

However, there were no engraved characters on the ring!

Therefore, the ring was fake!!!

"Skyler... Are you saying that this ring was given to you by the man you met on a certain night a while ago, at the request of your uncle and aunt?"

Suddenly, Logan's low voice interrupted Skyler's story coldly.

He looked at Skyler expressionlessly, and his deep black pupils had lost their warmth from earlier, replaced by a cold chill.

"Yes." Skyler choked up for a moment but then felt that something was wrong. "No, wait..."

Her uncle and aunt asked her to meet Mr. Brown, but the ring was not given to her by Mr. Brown.

In fact, it was given to her by the man who took her virginity.

However, Skyler didn't know how to explain this and could only stammer, "Yes... it was the man from that night, but..."

Logan snorted coldly and raised his eyebrows at her.

The corners of his lips curved into a cold arc, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

This woman was still lying at this moment!

Indeed, her approach was all with a hidden purpose!

He was set up by someone at the club. The club's shareholder happened to be Mr. Brown, and she knew Mr. Brown.

He was forced into marriage by his family, and his grandfather pushed her to his side.

And now, it was still the same...

Skyler knew he was looking for the owner of the ring, so she took back this fake ring.

She wanted to pass it off as the real one and make him mistake her for the woman from that night.

Ha! Skyler, this woman, is really scheming, greedy, and hypocritical, with despicable means that make people sick!

But unfortunately, she has such a face that makes him fall into it.

How can such a dirty woman deserve such a face!

Logan's face was so gloomy that water could drip from it.

The next second, the thin necklace hanging around her neck was grabbed by Logan's long and powerful hand.

With a "snap," the chain broke.

Skyler was brought to the sofa.

"Mr. Lee, what are you doing..."

She hadn't even had time to scream in pain.

She saw Logan raise his right hand, holding the ring. The handsome man's face was cold and expressionless, which she had never seen before.

Suddenly, Skyler understood Logan's intention.

She wanted to stop him.

But it was too late.

"No!!!"
