Chapter 67
Carlos didn't eat much, but Mikayla, on the other hand, unknowingly ate more, as Carlos kept putting bites of
food on her plate.
After dinner, Juliet pulled Xavier, and together, they disappeared.
Carlos applauded Juliet and Xavier for their mon
move.
Meanwhile, Mikayla was a little too full and suggested that they walk around, so they walked around the nearby
park hand in hand like an ordinary couple. Elderly people were exercising vigorously in the park. However, when
they saw Carlos and Mikayla, they giggled at them:
Before Mikayla could figure out why, Carlos kissed her before them. Mikayla pounded his chest lightly, but her
actions were misunderstood as a couple flirting, and the elderly laughed at them even harder. "They're a perfect
match!" an old lady exclaimed.
As they were leaving, this sentence caught their ears. Carlos, who wasn't always good with words, turned around
and thanked them.
After a while, they returned to the barbecue spot and picked up their car.
Carlos brought Mikayla back to the Salvatore manor. They stayed in the car for a while, hesitating to part, before
Mikayla watched him drive off
The iron gate opened, and Mikayla walked through the front garden. Then, she saw all the lights in the house
were still on. Hmm, usually, Mom and Dad would be fast asleep by now, she thought. As if knowing what was
waiting for her, Mikayla didn't stop

"Ooh! Are you done with your date?" A voice sounded.
Putting on her slippers, Mikayla took off her scarf and gloves and handed them to the housekeeper. Then, she
heard a sarcastic voice.
Fully clad in a noblewoman's attire, Mildred glanced at Mikayla's beautiful face as if nothing had happened. Her
eyes were still a little reddish as if she'd just cried, and her twisted face was full of anger. When she received the
phone call and learned that Mikayla humiliated Huxley in public and had his hand dislocated by her fiancé Carlos,
she felt angry. When she arrived at the hospital and the doctors put a cast on him, her heart almost stopped
beating just watching his pained expression and bearing his scream.
She couldn't even bear to scold him, let alone beat him.
Although Mildred wasn't the kindest, Mikayla approached her and greeted her politely, "Uncle Logan, Aunt
Mildred!"
"Wow, you
still know how to greet us! | thought you were going to marry and help outsiders, seeing how you don't recognize
your family anymore." Mildred's words sting.
Logan sat on the couch. Although he didn't speak, his expression was sour. His son, Huxley, the future heir of
Salvatore Group, was bullied by a woman, and his hand was even injured by a mere Guardian in the city. Logan
would be embarrassed to death if others heard of it.
She glanced at Huxley, who was in a cast and bandaged, walked to her parents who were worried about her, and
greeted, "Mom, Dad."
Worriedly, Sylvia held her hand and whispered her nickname, "Mika!"
Sylvia and Jorge were watching a TV show when suddenly, Logan, Mildred, and Huxley rushed in, startling Sylvia,
When she heard what they said, she couldn't calm down. No matter how and why it happened, with Logan and
Mildred's tempers, they wouldn't let Mikayla go easily, sering how their precious son was hurt. Mikaylasat beside
Sylvia and explained slowly, "Uncle Logan, Aunt Mildred, about Huxley, I didn't intend for it to beca scene.
Now that it's beca reality, I'd like to talk to you about it"
"Talk about it? Mikayla, how about 1 dislocate your hand and then talk to you?" Mildred was ill-tempered,
especially when it concerned Huxley.
"Uncle Logan, Aunt Mildred, | respect you as elders. That's why I'm talking to you like this now. If you don't want
to talk, I'm going to rest. I've had a long day" Mikayla indirectly shooed them away. Mikayla already felt she had
been more than kind and patient to their family. If they continued acting like this, she felt it was no longer
necessary to continue the conversation
"Logan, Mildred, why don't you listen to what Mika has to say first? Then, we can talk about it further?" Jorge
tried giving them an opportunity to rethink their words. Chapter 67
At this time, Logan proclaimed in a deep, booming voice, "Mikayla, don't think you can just think nothing of me
after working as a team leader for two days! Even your father wouldn't dare talk tolike that Jorge, you must
give us an acceptable compensation for this situation."
Seeing that they were Enally silent. Mikayla slowly recounted what she witnessed from the scene. "That's how it
went. Huxley's root problem is that his Uncle Logan and Aunt Mildred spoiled him too much. In the future, he'll be
the one losing out if these problems aren't fixed"
"Mikayla, don't think of yourself so highly! Your personality's the problematic one, but you still dare cand
lecture others," Huxley yelled. referring to what happened between Mikayla and Maxius. Mikayla already felt
embarrassed having that happen, but now she was getting ridiculed right before her parents
"He's my son. It's not your place to lecture him." Needless to say. Mildred was unhappy being criticized by
Mikayla for her upbringing and how she had raised Huxley for 20 or so years. "Look at your own daughter, Jorge!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe shows no respect," Logan shamed.
After more than 20 years of self-ingrained beliefs, Logan, Mildred, and Huxley agreed that they weren't wrong.
Logan and Mildred had been raising Huxley extravagantly, treating him as heir of Salvatore Group, and never felt
like anything was wrong with how they educated him. They were extremely furious having their faults pointed
out by Mikayla like this.
Jorge listened to Mikayla's story, and it confirmed what he thought. He knew she wouldn't blHusley for no
reason, so he was naturally on her side.
In fact, when Huxley talked about it, he habitually avoided his faults and magnified Mikayla's and Carlos Given
this fact alone, Huxley's faults were detrimental "Logan, all this while, I've been aware of how Huxley has such
issues. Logan, you- Jorge started.
Before Jorge could speak, he was interrupted by Logan Jorge, even if there's something wrong with Huxley, it's
not your daughter's place to judge him He's my sont | know him. Today, Mikayla and Carlos dislocated Huxley's
hand. As an apology, | want Carlos to dislocate one of his hands and apologize to him in person!"
"That's impossible Mikayla refused decisively.
"It's not up to you! Jorge, if you can't do it, don't even dream of kee
of keeping your position as chairman!" Logan threatened.
Jorge, don't forget your current position belongs to our family! You've been sitting there so comfortably for so
many years. You've forgotten what we've done for you and taken us for granted." Mildred's words were sharp.
Ill give you only one day to think it over! If you want to give up that position sooner, as your older brother, | can
pretend this never happened. After saying that, Logan Teft with Mildred and Huxley. "Dad. I'm sorry! Mikayla
apologized.
