But now they had no choice but to follow along with whatever Sky wanted. They needed to exercise
restraint even if he angered them.
It was almost cathartic to think about it!
The feast commenced.
Skylar was speaking to Nathaniel when Laurel approached with a glass of red wine, grinning from ear
to ear.
“You’ve grown, Skylar! I’m proud of you as your aunt!”
“I’ve done much wrong in the past. I do hope you’re willing to put it behind you!”
“Take this glass of wine as me trying to make amends with you!”
“Cheers!”
Laurel tipped her head back and downed the wine in her glass without waiting for Skylar’s response.
That was when Ash Munoz, who was behind her, also came close.

She followed Laurel’s example and emptied her glass of wine.
Pearl Fuller couldn’t lag behind either now that the mother-daughter pair had taken the lead.
“I want to make amends too, Skylar!”
“I always knew you had great charisma. You live up to our expectations of you. You’ve become the
most promising one among the juniors.”
“To be honest, I always dreamt of owning a Range Rover with an extended range. You’re living my
ideal life!”
“You’re my hero! Every man should strive to be you!”
The situation was now like a tap with its sluices turned on. Everyone had their wine glasses in hand
and were rushing toward Skylar.
“He’s certainly worthy of being raised by Uncle. The Fullers are blessed to have you!”
“You’re amazing, Skylar! You haven’t graduated from high school yet, and you rank higher than
Norman. It barely took you six years. That’s what a high-achieving student in a military academy is all
about!”
“Whether the Fuller family can get out of Altas County and carve a place for ourselves in Cloudtopia will
now depend on you.”
“Yeah! We’re all counting on you!”
The group tried their best to curry favor with Skylar and had long since cast aside their scathing
behaviors.
“Skylar Stone!”
Norman, who was seated at the main table, was angered.
Every compliment to Skylar was like a sharp knife, mercilessly stabbing into his heart.
All this should’ve been his.
Skylar’s appearance not only made his return to his hometown meaningless but also made him lose
the opportunity for quick advancement.

Who cared if he sat at the main table?
The main table was wherever Skylar was at.
The others were simply foils to him.
The envy in his heart had finally reached its peak.
Langston and Spencer both looked displeased.
They had always been the focus at every Fuller family gathering and yet they were now receiving the
cold shoulder.
They felt as if they had been slapped multiple times over listening to everyone singing Skylar’s praises.
Skylar, who was in the eye of the storm, was calmly eating.
He had absolutely no intention of toasting anyone.
He didn’t bother with anyone who was trying to get on his good side.
None of them showed any signs of displeasure. They continued to suck up to him as if they were close.
After eating and exchanging a few words with Milton, Skylar returned to his room to get some rest.
He made a video call to Yulia when he finally got to bed.
She was sitting upright on screen with a smile that couldn’t be concealed.
