NovelEnglishWinona was just as shocked as Clarissa after what they had just witnessed. That was because
Clarissa told her before Skylar and Nathaniel returned that Nicholas was a powerhouse and was
incredibly intimidating. But somehow, he seemed really scared of Skylar and Nathaniel then. What
shocked her was just how polite Nicholas was toward Nathaniel.
However, Winona seemed bothered at the fact that Nicholas spoke with a lisp when he was speaking
to Skylar and Nathanie earlier. She was wondering why someone as wealthy as him would not spend
money on fixing his teeth. She was also wondering if a set of imperfect teeth would bring good fortune
to people. The world of the wealthy puzzled her.
She believed that Nicholas would break down if he knew what she was talking about.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLittle did she know that it was Skylar who had caused him to lose a few teeth. He rushed over to meet
them because he needed to please Skylar. It would be impossible for him to have any spare time to fix
his teeth.
“Dad, since Mr. Wexler insisted on you accepting the gift, you should just take it,” Skylar replied.
Since it was merely ten million dollars and since Nicholas insisted on them keeping the money, Skylar
did not mind accepting it at all.
After listening to Skylar’s reasons, Nathaniel accepted the bank card from Nicholas.
However, Winona felt bad when Nathaniel accepted the gift, so she said, “Thanks for doing this for us,
Mr. Wexler. I’ve bought plenty of groceries, why don’t you stay for dinner at our place later?”
Winona opened the jeep’s door to invite Nicholas in. However, this startled Nicholas as he said, “Oh,
there’s no need for that. I still have a meeting later, so I can’t stay for too long. Look, I’ll treat you, Mr.
Stone and Mr. Fuller next time. Oh please, don’t call Mr. Wexler next time, Please feel free to call me
by my name.”
Apparently, he was not bold enough to be in the same car with Skylar. He gave them a polite bow and
was getting ready to leave.
Winona stopped insisting for him to stay after seeing how uncomfortable he was at the moment.
However, just as everyone was about to leave, Clarrisa decided to grab Nicholas’ arm and said, “What
exactly are you doing, Mr. Wexler? Harlan treated you to a meal and tried so desperately to butter up to
you and yet you only gave me 3.5 million dollars. Nathaniel’s house is the exact same size as mine and
you gave them ten million dollars. Are you saying that Harlan’s reputation isn’t as good as them?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmClarrisa looked furious as she glared at Skylar and Nathaniel.
Hearing that infuriated Nicholas immediately as he shoved Clarrisa’s hand away and said, “Scram!
Who in the world does Harlan think he is to compare himself to Mr. Stone?”
The only reason why he was so polite toward Skylar was because he was terrified of him. However,
this did not mean that he was a complete pushover that would submit to anyone’s whims. He was
offended by Clarrisa’s audacity to question him earlier. He had no reason to answer to her. Besides, if
she was unhappy with Skylar, she should just deal with him herself, she should just leave him out of
her mess.
“You…” Clarrisa was completely stunned by his reaction.
She did not expect Nicholas to be that infuriated to humiliate her without mercy.
“Oh mom, it really is you!” A voice called out to her.
Everyone immediately turned toward the sound and was greeted by Harlan and Angelica who were
approaching them at the moment.
