NovelEnglishListening to the people’s conversations, Miles shivered in fear as he finally realized that he was in big
trouble.
“Daryl, quick! Call your idol and tell him to cancel the plan!”
How could he afford to offend someone who can make the Shepherd and Whitlock families bow their
heads?
Even if Daryl hired an expert that killed Skylar successfully, he would not be able to bear the
consequences.
“Mr. Silverton…”
Daryll was still in immense shock.
“No nonsense, Call him!” Miles shouted.
“Yes, sir!”
Daryl did not dare to waste a second. He took out his phone immediately and called his idol.
However, after dialing several times in a row, an automated robot-like female voice kept appearing on
the other side.
“Sorry, the number you are calling is unavailable.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDaryl’s voice trembled, “Mr. Silverton, his phone is switched off. I’m afraid he is already on the move…”
“What?!”
Miles shouted out loud and his face went pale.
Shit!
If the person that Daryl hired really killed Skylar, his backups as well as Shepherd and Whitlock family
will definitely come at him.
If the person did not manage to kill Skylar, based on his hostile and vengeful character, it will cost no
time to track down Miles. At that point, he could only deal with it.
He could not handle any of the consequences.
“Hurry up, find your idol, and tell him to stop it!”
Miles demanded in extreme panic.
“Yes, sir!”
Daryl bowed his head and left the place hurriedly.
At that point, Miles did not feel like joining Dudley’s birthday celebration anymore. He turned his head
and walked towards the car.
While in Shepherd’s Residence, the birthday celebration was massive. There were a hundred tables for
guests which occupied the entire courtyard.
Apart from doing martial arts, Dudley likes to listen to operas.
So, to make him happy, the Shepherd family hired professional opera troupes from Nirth to perform
some of his favorite pieces and for that, they specifically built an opera stage on the porch.
The main table is the closest to the stage, people who were sitting at the main table could even see the
details on the performers’ costumes clearly.
Dudley sat at the main seat.
The most central part of the table was reserved for Skylar’s family.
Whereas the seats for other guests were arranged by the butler, according to their status and their
relationship with the Shepherd family.
Even if some people did know what happened at the entrance of the villa, seeing how respectful
Dudley is to Skylar, they will naturally follow suit.
So, when they came and gave a toast to Dudley, they definitely would not exclude Skylar.
However, Skylar refused to drink a single sip of alcohol.
It was because Lola was with him and he did not want Lola to smell the strong smell of alcohol on him.
Fortunately, those people did not feel bad for being rejected. In fact, as long as Skylar gave them a little

back to their seats contented.
“Sweetheart, what do you want to eat?
Skylar quickly asked when he saw that Lola was staring at the food on the table while attempting to
reach the food with her little spoon.
“I want to eat that big shrimp,” Lola said in an adorable manner.
“Okay, I will peel the shell off for you.”
Skylar placed two big shrimps on the plate and used the towel to wipe his hands before peeling the
shells.
“Open your mouth, sweetheart!”
“Yum!”
Lola opened her mouth wide and devoured the shrimp.
“Is it good?” Skylar asked lovingly.
“The shrimps that daddy peeled are very delicious!”
Lola’s words made Skylar laugh out loud.
Seeing such a loving scene, Blanc said in a praising manner, “Mr. Stone has such a gorgeous wife and
a loving daughter, how envy!”
“I was going to matchmake my daughter Delilah with you…it seems like it’s Delilah’s loss now!”
“Grandpa, what are you talking about ?!” Delilah, who was seated on Blanc’s left, turned red at her
grandpa’s words.
