Without waiting for Laurel’s response, Alex turned to Skylar once again. “You were about to sit on a
VIP’s seat. If you took his seat, it wouldn’t do you or me any good,” he warned Skylar, his tone carrying
a thinly veiled threat.
Everyone else in the room looked at Skylar expectantly. Among them, Ash was the only one who knew
about Skylar’s wealth. The rest of them only remembered Skylar from 6 years ago, a poor punk who
did not even know who his parents were. Hans, despite having seen Skylar’s 6-million-dollar Land
Rover that afternoon, still behaved like Skylar was a nobody since he had the support of Norman and
Alex Fuller. What was a 6-million-dollar car compared to the Fuller family business worth billions
anyway? To them, Skylar Stone was just a thick-skinned cousin trying to leech off them for a free meal.

this, but I can sit anywhere I choose to sit,” he proclaimed out loud, before taking a seat at the place
Alex had specifically warned him about just moments ago.
He never wanted to attend this gathering. He only did it because Naomi begged him to, and he could
not just turn around and leave just because of a few insults lobbed at him. He could, however, ruffle
their feathers. Since they did not allow him to sit at the table, he would do exactly that.
After all, he was the legendary God of War of the Nine Continents. Who would dare tell him what to do?
No one could stop him from getting what he wanted or going where he wanted.
However, his cousins did not see it his way. They were momentarily stunned by his brazenness, but
began to take jabs at him once more as they came back to their senses.
“Skylar, just who do you think you are? What makes you think you can behave like this and get away
with it?”
“This guy is truly a daydreaming fool!”
“If you insist on sitting there, go ahead then,” Alex Fuller sneered frostily. “Someone will make sure you
thoroughly regret your decision in just a bit.”
Just as Alex finished his sentence, there was a soft knock on the door before a man strode in casually.
The man had a handsome face and a bold, charismatic quality about him. Alex’s expression
immediately brightened up as he rushed to usher his VIP guest.
“Adam, you’re here!” he greeted his guest.
Adam? The rest of them wondered. Was this the big shot Alex was talking about?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Let me introduce you to my family members, Adam,” Alex sounded overly enthusiastic as he trailed
behind Adam. “This is my beautiful cousin sister, Naomi Fuller.”
“Naomi, come and say hello!” he whispered to his cousin. “This is Mr. Adam Currey. The Curreys are
one of the Four Great Families of Cloudtopia and Adam is the heir of the family. It’s truly our honor to
have him dine with us tonight!”
“Um… Hello, Adam. It’s nice to meet you!” Naomi was caught off guard by the unexpected guest but
tried her best to get herself together and give him a proper greeting.
The other cousins got up from their seats to welcome their honorary guests too.
“Oh my God, I was not expecting to meet someone from one of the Four Greats of Cloudtopia tonight!”
Ash exclaimed excitedly.
“You did not lie to us, Alex. We’re dining with a big shot tonight!” Hans nudged his cousin’s side.
However, Adam did not respond to their enthusiastic greetings. As they looked at Adam, it was only
then they realized Adam was staring at Naomi Fuller, utterly and completely enraptured.
