“I asked you to get lost!” Skylar Stone repeated himself, staring defiantly at Todrick to get his point
across.
Todrick’s expression was a mixture of rage and shock. “How dare you?!” he roared.
The young master of the Whitlock family was used to people bowing to him and trying to please him all
the time. No one, not even members of the other three great families, had ever spoken to him the way
Skylar Stone just did. His eyes flashed murderously as he sized up Skylar Stone.
“Tod, I’m hungry. Why don’t we go somewhere else?” Todrick’s girlfriend persuaded him. His
demeanour softened slightly as he regarded her. He escorted her out of the room, but deep down, he
knew this was not over. Todrick’s girlfriend looked at Skylar with a strange expression right before she

After the couple had left, Skylar continued his meal as if nothing had happened.
“Skylar, that man was the young master of the Whitlock family. They’re one of the Greats! You might
have just offended him…” Valerie spoke up anxiously.
“It’s fine,” Skylar reassured her. Even if the four families came together to fight him, he would gladly
take all of them on. Valerie urged Skylar to make peace with the Whitlock family a few more times out
of concern, but Skylar was a brick wall.
On the other hand, Yulia had kept her thoughts to herself. In fact, she was not worried at all. Having
spent more time with Skylar now, she knew that he’d never say something rash if he did not have full
confidence. Little Lola Sue was enjoying her meal so much that she had not paid attention to all the
commotion happening.
“Lola, eat some vegetables too,” Yulia coaxed her daughter as she tried to move the plate of ribs away
from Lola.
“But Mommy, I want another piece of meat…” Lola cried out.
“No, Lola, have some veggies first,” Yulia put on a stern voice. Lola looked her mother pitifully, before
turning to her father. “Daddy…”
Skylar could never deny his daughter anything in the world. His heart melted as he looked at her puppy
dog eyes. “Honey, just let her have one more piece,” he told Yulia.
Yulia almost rolled her eyes at her husband. “You’re always spoiling her! She’ll turn chubby if she
keeps eating so much. If she gets chubby at this age, it’ll be hard for her to slim down next time!” she
chided.
Lola stopped eating as soon as she heard her mother. “Lola don’t eat. Lola no want be chubby!” the girl

Skylar and Yulia could not help but laugh at their little daughter’s funny antics.
“Darling, don’t you worry, you’re not getting chubby as long as Daddy’s around,” Skylar ruffled his
daughter’s tiny head affectionately.
Lola looked up at her father. “Daddy, can I keep eating meat and stay slim?”
“Of course you can, darling. I know a special massage that will help you stay slim no matter how much
you eat!” Skylar played along with his daughter.
“Really? Then Lola want two more meat!” Lola exclaimed happily as she pointed at the ribs with her
spoon. Reluctantly, Yulia helped her daughter cut the ribs into smaller pieces and fed her daughter. She
let out another giggle as she caught her daughter licking her own face full of sticky sauce, just like a
dirty cat.
“You’re dealing with this mess from now on,” she nudged her husband, who was smiling fondly at his
daughter.
Valerie Pearce, who had been listening in on Skylar’s conversation with his daughter, piped up. “Skylar,
can you really help people lose weight? Could you help me do it?” she asked curiously.
