Aiken said earnestly, “Skylar, you’ve done so much for us today. To us, you’re a benefactor. I’ll ensure that you receive a generous reward later.”

Before dinner, he had doubted Skylar’s abilities and questioned her motives for befriending Simona.

Egbert was astonished. “They offered a fortune Are you really turning it down? Do you have a reason, Mr. Parkinson?”
