Skye didn't think about it for long.
Perhaps the pheromone manipulation lowered her guard.
Perhaps a loan isn’t a gift after all, which suggests that Luke isn’t trying to be her young sugar daddy.
Or maybe she also knew that she wouldn't always be a social worker here.
She needs to find out her own life experience, and sooner or later she will leave.
Luke provided her with a better opportunity and a better environment, which made her fully prepared to complete it.
Just like he said, she should remember the kindness and return the favor instead of staying here and living on other people's donations.
After Christmas, Skye will leave the social work office where she has worked for several months, leaving the only place where she has felt security and warmth since she grew up.
She will go to a school in New Jersey for half a year of boarding school, and then try to get into a community college.
Luke has already found a community college in New Jersey for her. As long as she pays a high tuition fee, the community college will "appropriately" lower the admission threshold.
None of this matters. What matters is that Skye is willing to work hard and use this unreliable community college as a springboard to enter a better university.
Before she left, Luke had a long talk with her to clarify her future direction and ensure that the girl would not be too eager for quick success.
After all, with her abilities, it's not difficult for her to make money through illegal means.
At this time, it was approaching Christmas.
Luke and Selina greeted Walter in advance, confirmed the time, and flew back to Texas on Christmas Eve.
Now the two no longer have to squeeze into an ordinary flight, a private business jet is waiting for them at the airport.
But after getting on the plane, Selina glanced at someone with a strange look on her face and said, "You didn't say you were going to bring someone back with you."
Luke smiled and said, "We are all acquaintances, so I don't need to introduce ourselves. Well, Ginny has no plans for Christmas this year, so she wants to meet Robert."
Selina keenly grasped the key point: "See Robert?"
Luke shrugged. "After all, the shares of Stark Group are under Robert's name. Ginny, the director, still needs to meet with him."
Selena was speechless. She had never thought about this.
Ginny just kept smiling and didn't show any reaction to the two people discussing everything in front of her.
But except for greeting Selena when she came in, she never said a word to Selena again.
She depends on Luke for a living and doesn't owe Selina anything.
The greeting was just out of courtesy, but there was no need to try to get close to her because Selena didn't mean that.
Luke was calm and composed. As soon as he got on the plane, he started writing and drawing on his tablet. No one knew what he was doing.
Ginny was in a similar situation. Her trip was totally unexpected and a lot of things needed to be adjusted.
Selena and Nugget were holding their tablets and watching TV series online on the other side.
However, a certain dog head would occasionally give a little response when reminded by Selina's feet, saying that the big devil was fine and he definitely did not hug that ugly blonde woman with no breasts and no butt.
With its sharp ears and nose, it is just as good as Luke at detective work.
But at this moment, a certain dog head felt that having sharp facial senses was not a good thing. Its process of watching the drama was interrupted seven or eight times along the way, and even the plot was incoherent.
In its heart, it could only silently complain about Selina's naivety: If the big devil was really that stupid, he wouldn't have boarded this plane.
In fact, Doghead is very smart about some things.
When Ginny arrived at Shackleford, she showed proper but not overly clingy enthusiasm to the Luke family.
Apart from formally discussing some matters of the Stark Group with Robert, she spent most of her time with Katherine and Claire.
After going to the ranch, she had a lot of fun.
This made Selina full of questions. She couldn't help but catch Luke and drag him aside to ask, "Is she really here on vacation?"
Luke was not in a hurry. He pulled her to sit on the chair on the porch behind the house and gave her one of the two large skewers of barbecue in his hand. "Maybe there's a little conflict in her family. I don't want her to stay alone in New York for Christmas."
Selina took the barbecue and took a bite: "What's the conflict, money?"
Ginny was Luke's super money bag, so she had read the relevant information carefully, so this was her first reaction.
Luke also took a bite of the barbecue and nodded regretfully.
The meat is not cooked enough and has some blood in it, but it's edible.
Selina couldn't help but swing her knee over and bump it against his thigh: "Stop keeping me in suspense and just say it directly."
Luke: "Her father had a big order a few months ago, but he ran into the New York War and was affected by the futures market, losing more than 1 billion US dollars."
He said it in a nonchalant tone, as if he was saying that Joseph had lost ten dollars in pocket money.
Selina's eyes widened, and she tried to recall the information about Ginny's father. She asked uncertainly, "It seems that her father's personal assets are only about 10 billion, so he... went bankrupt?"
Luke shrugged. "That's about it. Unless Ginny is willing to pay for it."
Selina analyzed Miss Ginny's past and personality and asked, "So Miss Ginny actually wants to help her father with money?"
Luke nodded again: "She said she didn't want to..."
As soon as he said this, he felt Selina rolling her eyes again, so he immediately said the second half of the sentence: "But in my heart, I feel the same as you said."
Selina chopped it and started eating the barbecue again: "You are indeed a troublesome lady. Just do what you want. As long as you consider the consequences and troubles in advance, it's no big deal. You need to look like you are dead... cough cough."
It's a holiday now, and she can't say certain things.
Luke nodded with satisfaction: "You have made great progress, that's what I mean too. But I can't control when she can figure it out."
Selina snorted, "Even if I'm paid as a detective, I can still make a living, but I can't understand the troubles of a rich person like her."
Luke: "That's because people don't know how much money we have. If you were on any wealth list, you would have no fewer troubles than she does."
Selina thought about her net worth being exposed, and she shuddered. She immediately said, "I'm not a business woman. If anyone finds out about me, you can take the shares back. I'd rather be a poor detective."
Luke looked at the woman who was as cowardly as a gold nugget and was speechless: You are not afraid of going to war with thousands of aliens, so are you afraid of having money
After complaining, he could only admit: Well, I am afraid too! I am afraid that people will know that I am too rich.
The worries of rich people are indeed unimaginable to poor people - unimaginably comfortable.
A big part of the reason why he can feel so at ease now is because he is very rich.
Money not only solved most of the problems, but also helped him solve many of the people who created the problems.
