Skylar nodded and smiled politely without saying a word about Delilah’s respectful bow. The woman
then straightened her back and looked at Todrick. “Apologize to Mr. Stone immediately!” she
demanded.
“Let’s get this straight, Delilah. The old man who’s backing you is on the brink of death. The head of the
Whitlock family is going to be my dad. Who are you to instruct me? I’m the young master of the
Whitlock family. Why should I apologize to a country bumpkin? He doesn’t deserve it!” Anger poured
through Todrick when he heard the chastise. He had long considered Deillah an eyesore. Hence, it was
the perfect chance for him to vent his displeasure toward the woman.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDelilah smoldered with resentment when she saw Todrick’s smug look. Just as she was about to
retaliate, a deep voice said, “Shut up, Todrick Whitlock!”
Who’s reprimanding Todrick again? The curious crowd turned and saw a middle-aged couple
approaching; they were protected by a group of men in black. It was Delilah’s uncle and aunt, Harvey
and Veronica.
“Why are you here, Dad, Mum?” Todrick asked in surprise.
Harvey disregarded him and admonished, “Immediately apologize to Mr. Stone!”
Everyone pondered with confusion, why is Harvey Whitlock asking his son to apologize to Skylar
Stone?
Harvey bowed to Skylar and said, “Mr. Stone, I’m sorry for the earlier misunderstanding in the hospital.
I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
Veronica added, “It’s my fault, Mr. Stone. I’m sorry. Please accept my sincere apology.”
The onlookers were shocked by the unexpected turn of events. Everything that Harvey and his family
say or do impacts the Whitlock family. Why are they apologizing to Skylar Stone all of a sudden? They
even address him with the utmost respect. I wonder what’s the true identity of this ordinary-looking
man. Or does he have a special talent?
Everyone looked at Skylar with admiration, including Yulia, who had not expected the Whitlocks to
regard him so highly. Only Todrick was stunned beyond words at the twist of events. Amanda, who was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmstanding next to him, also looked fondly at Skylar, intrigued.
“What’s going on, Dad, Mum?” Todrick could not help but ask. ”He’s just a country bumpkin. He doesn’t
deserve this…”
The man could not figure out why his parents were so courteous toward Skylar. Who the hell is he? I
know all the big shots in Cloudtopia. Even if I’ve not spoken to them before, they should at least look
familiar to me. Furthermore, I’ve never heard of anyone with the surname “Stone.” The Whitlocks are
one of the Four Great Families, and we have built up our networks and consolidated our powers over
the years. Our family assets are worth billions of dollars. My parents don’t even display such courtesy
to Mr. Blanc Whitlock. What’s the matter with them?
Harvey gave a resounding slap on his son’s head and chided, “I said to shut up. If you refuse to
apologize to Mr. Stone, I’ll terminate all your credit cards immediately.”
