NovelEnglishYulia opened her mouth but uttered nothing as she watched the man leave.
Geoffrey might be her uncle, but she had never once heard of the man.
She had so much to tell her mother. Words that she wouldn’t be able to say to the stranger claiming to
be her uncle.
“Yulia, let’s pay our respects!”
Skylar took the items from her hands after putting Lola down and set off to work.
Yulia whispered words to her mother as she wiped down the tombstone.
After everything was done, Skylar faced the tombstone and humbly bowed. “Don’t worry, Ma’am. I’ll
take good care of both Yulia and Lola and give them the happiness they deserve!”
Yulia’s heart was warmed by his words. His soft gaze brought tears to her eyes.
Lola, who was on the wayside, also hurried to follow in Skylar’s footsteps and paid her own respects.

“Daddy always appears like Superman on TV when Mommy or I get bullied. It’s so cool!”
Both parents couldn’t help laughing at the girl’s exaggerated account.
She was such a joy to have around.
Meanwhile, outside the gates.
When Geoffrey appeared from around the corner, the bodyguard with the walkie-talkie ran up to him
immediately, and said dejectedly, “We were incompetent, Boss. We allowed the family of three to
disturb you.”
“You failed to stop them when there’s so many of you?”
Geoffrey was taken aback.
He had assumed the men standing guard to have slacked off when the truth was far different than was
expected.
Wasn’t this far too odd?
His group of bodyguards was the elite of the elite. A thousand troops were of no issue to them, let
alone a hundred martial artists.
Yet, they yielded to the family?
Among the three, two were clearly not trained in combat at all.
The only possibility left was the young man standing beside Phaedra’s daughter.
The young man looked no different from an average person.
To think he hid himself so well.
“We’re sorry, sir!”
The bodyguards present all assumed Geoffrey’s anger and admitted to their mistakes.
He waved them off. “It’s of no big consequence!”
No matter how powerful that young man was, there was nothing to fear when he stood alone.

of the Lucas household, Phaedra. I believe you won’t condemn me for what I’m going to do…”
The next day arrived in a blink of an eye. It was Leon Sue’s 70th birthday.
The old man had been confined to the bed four years ago. All properties under the Sue name were
handled by Gale Sue, the Madam of the Sue family.
Skylar and Yulia went to visit the old man a while ago and not only drove away the murderous ingrate
who bit the hand that feeds them but also cured his illness.
The old man then made his grand return at Madam Sue’s birthday banquet and regained control of the
Sue family, allowing old employees and partners of the company to regain their confidence in them.
Yulia’s recent anti-blemish cream project was also now in full swing. Anyone who wanted a slice of the
pie had to be prepared with generous gifts to curry favor with the elder.
When Skylar and Yulia arrived at the Sue family home with Lola in tow at 10 in the morning, the
courtyard was already filled with men and women chattering away.
