Triumph Above All Novel

Chapter 43

It seemed that the Stephenson family never expected that after the insanely powerful people left, all of the other guests that had business ties to them began to leave in droves as well.

They seemed to be absolutely terrified and seemed as if they would end up perishing if they stayed even a second longer.

Those people were incredibly talented in doing business. It was natural for them to stay cautious since Skylar’s status was too terrifying for them.

Anyone who could convince the city’s elites to bow was obviously not someone they could afford to offend.

So, it did not take long for the lively wedding to be completely silenced.

Mandy and her family members staggered and fell on the ground as their faces turned pale.

They never expected things to deteriorate to such an extent, so they began complaining about Mandy.

Meanwhile, Mandy regretted everything she did. If she was never insulting and treated Naomi’s family kindly, Naomi would have already been married to their family.

That would mean that Brian could have been Skylar’s brother-in-law.

Since Skylar was such an incredible man, he would not even need to do much to raise their family’s reputation.

They would have never had to butter up to people who were obviously less capable than Skylar © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

then.

However, they were not sure if their family could even stay in the city anymore, let alone gain glory…

After sending Naomi and his parents home, Skylar cooked and stayed with them for a long while.

By the time he returned to Ocean Hill, it was already evening.

So, Skylar stared at the necklace in his hands and thought about how tomorrow was Yulia’s birthday and if he should give her another surprise aside from the necklace she wanted.

When Dianne noticed his troubled look, she asked, “Hey boss, you can order me to do anything and I’ll make sure that I’ll do a good job for you.”

However, Skylar shook his head and said, “Oh, you won’t be able to help me with this.”

“What exactly is it though?” Dianne was stunned.

“Romance,” Skylar bluntly replied.

Oh… Dianne was completely speechless to hear that.

She never expected that the god of war himself would someday worry about being romantic to a woman. She wondered just how her comrades at the Northern borders would react if they found out about it.

So, Dianne silently left the living room while Skylar pondered.

Not long after she left, Skylar’s phone rang and it turned out to be from Yulia.

However, before Skylar could say anything, Yulia interjected and somehow, she sounded

furious…

“Skylar, I understand that our relationship is only legal on paper, but you are responsible to be a good father for Lola. I don’t care who you’re interested in, but can’t you be á little low profile in doing so? How do you think Lola would feel when she saw her own father hugging another

woman?”

Skylar was completely stunned as he asked, “What’s going on? Me and another woman?”

“What’s the matter? Are you not bold enough to admit it? Do you want me to send you the video instead?”

Yulia hung up the call before Skylar could react.

So, Skylar kept his phone away and after cracking his brain for a good long while, he finally understood why Yulia was so angry then.

He assumed that she was upset about him hugging Naomi at the wedding. He presumed that Yulia and Lola might have seen the video when someone uploaded it online. He wondered just how things could be this coincidental and decided that he needed to get to the bottom of it.

However, when he recalled just how furious Yulia was earlier, Skylar smiled and thought, Oh… is she jealous?
