“What is the meaning of this, Mr. Wexler?” Harlan looked bitter as he questioned Nicholas about the
assault.
Although Nicholas was significantly wealthier than his family, they were still connected through a
mutual friend. Regardless, Harlan thought they should both respect each other. However, he could not
believe that Nicholas insulted him by having his bodyguards slap his wife and mother-in-law.
Nicholas scoffed when Harlan questioned him as he said, “I was trying to say that I’d slap whoever that
is rude toward Mr. Stone. This is all that I’ll say for now. If your wife and mother-in-law is still adamant in

try to bring your family up to me. Your family is nothing to me! If any of you had offended Mr. Stone,
there will be more people who will destroy your family just like me.”
After that, Nicholas glared at Clarrisa and Angelica and said, “Don’t blame my bodyguards for turning
even more violent toward you if you don’t apologize to Mr. Stone immediately!”
Nicholas’ words were like a bombshell to Harlan and the others as they never expected him to be this
infuriated for Skylar.
They had to admit that their family could not afford to offend Nicholas. It was only then did Clarrisa and
Angelica realize the severity of their situations as they shifted their focus to Harlan.
Harlan’s expression turned pale as a million thoughts were going through his mind at that moment.
After some careful consideration, he took a deep breath and said, “Apologize to Skylar right now!”
Clarrisa and Angelica dared not hesitate after Harlan said that as they turned toward Skylar and said,
“We’re sorry for earlier Skylar.”
However, Skylar scoffed and said, “Oh, there’s no need for an apology since I won’t accept it anyway.”
After that, he returned home with his parents.
Nicholas glared at Harlan and said, “Oh, just you wait!”

It was only after they left that Clarrisa and Angelica could be somewhat at ease as Clarrisa said while
caressing her swollen cheek, “Mr. Wexler is such an arrogant *sshole. Who does he think he is! Harlan
is such a capable man at his age, so he’s not worse than Mr. Wexler! I can’t believe he slapped us in
front of him! Gosh, why can’t karma strike people like him down!”
Like her mother, Angelica complained. “Mr. Wexler is an *sshole alright, but the worst is still Skylar! We
already apologized to him and yet, he’s still so arrogant, right? Who does he think he is! I refuse to
believe that Mr. Wexler would sacrifice his business for Skylar.”
However, after hearing their rants, Harlan somehow had a bad feeling about the whole situation…
Suddenly, his phone rang and it turned out to be his secretary.
