NovelAppSkylar couldn’t be bothered to talk to him.
“Harper, we’ll swap roles tomorrow. I’m going to send you to hell.”
“It appears that you are impatient!”
With that, he led Dianne to the door.
“Mr. Stone, please tell me what I should do with these people,” Homer said, frantically straightening his
back and clasping his fists.
He dared not decide on his own in matters pertaining to Skylar.
Skylar gave Lev a quick look and remarked, “Please send him to the hospital for your sake, but don’t let
me hear his name again in Cloudtopia.”
“You can figure it out for the others.”
“Yes!”
Homer bowed to him again.
He was thrilled when Skylar actually treated him with respect.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs for Lev, how would he dare to ask for more?
The fact that he was able to preserve his pitiful life was regarded as a blessing.
After Skylar and Dianne left, Homer directed that Lev be taken to the hospital.
He stood in the private room and thought for a long time before finally deciding to make a phone call to
the Currey family.
He’d heard of Harper Fox before. He was the Fox family’s eldest son.
The Currey family, who were supporting him, had a close relationship with the Fox family.
Harper, who was dressed in home clothes, was in the bedroom on the second floor of a high-end villa
in Cloudtopia. He complained angrily, “What’s the deal with that Lev? He hasn’t taken any action, and
he doesn’t pick up the phone either!”
His wife, Ava, immediately consoled him, saying, “Don’t worry. Good things take time!”
“Lev is my brother’s subordinate, and this is not the first time he has done this kind of thing! He has no
trouble handling a fool with kids!”
“He is probably dealing with it right now. Slow and steady wins the race—the more careful he is, the
less likely he will make a mistake.”
It also made sense to Harper, who laughed grimly and said, “This is the inevitable outcome of offending
me!”
A smug smile appeared on his face as soon as he said that.
It was as if he had already seen Skylar’s miserable state as he got run down by a car.
“Mr. Harper, Mrs. Harper, Mr. Fox wants to talk to both of you in the living room,” the housekeeper said
as she stood outside the door.
“All right, we’ll be there shortly!”
Harper and Ava didn’t dare to defy the order, so they went downstairs.
They noticed Malcolm scowling on the sofa as they entered the living room. “What kind of sly business
are you two engaging in?” Malcolm sternly demanded of the couple.
Harper and Ava’s hearts raced upon hearing Malcolm’s words, and they hastily explained, “Dad, we
didn’t do anything…”
“How dare you deny it!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMalcolm cut them off right away. “Do you think your cheap parlor tricks will work on me?” he continued.
“Be honest with me. Why did you give Lev a million dollars?”
Harper decided to just come clean about what transpired in the kindergarten during the day because he
knew he couldn’t keep it from Malcolm.
However, he was quick to think on his feet and changed the entire narrative—the false became the
truth, and the truth became false.
His account painted him and Ava as helpless victims, and Skylar as a haughty bully.
Malcolm was a shrewd businessman. He knew how his son was.
He severely reprimanded him, saying, “You guys know exactly what happened!”
“One is my son, and the other is my daughter-in-law. I will not pursue it, and I warn you, you will still fail
at some point, no matter how good you are.”
“So, from now on, you are not to have any contact with that Lev guy; otherwise, you will be on your
own. I’ll expel you from the Fox household!”
Ultimately, what Malcolm was worried about was the safety of his own family members. He didn’t give a
damn whether the others lived or died.
