Harvey felt a flicker of irritation when Delilah forced him and Veronica to apologize to Skylar. He had
planned to do it in a perfunctory manner to avoid further embarrassment. Unfortunately, his son,
Todrick, failed to read the room and insisted on blowing up the matter.
Upon hearing that Harvey intended to terminate his credit card, Todrick was so frightened that he no
longer cared about his dignity. He bowed and apologized, “This is all my fault, Mr. Stone. I’m sorry for
my rash acts!”
The crowd gasped at the shocking scene. However, Skylar paid no attention to the Whitlocks, and
simply repeated to the sales assistant, “Get me the bill!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe lady nodded nervously and replied, “Yes, sir, please wait a moment!” She quickly ran to the front
desk and returned with a card machine. After paying the bill, the sales assistant carefully wrapped the
scarf and handed it to Yulia.
“Sweethearts, let’s go! I’ll take you to eat something delicious!” Skylar held Yulia with one hand and
hugged Lola with the other as they strolled away merrily.
“Hurray!” Lola cheered.
When Yulia heard Skylar address them as “Sweetheart,” she blushed. “Hush. Everyone is looking!”
The man leaned in her ear and whispered, “We shall continue our sweet whisperings after we reach
home tonight.”
“Stop it!” Yulia pretended to look annoyed, but she was secretly delighted. Skylar was glad to see her
mood had improved since the episode earlier.
“Hold on, Mr. Stone,” Harvey called out, anxious to see the trio walking out of the shop. “We were fools
for rejecting your help earlier. Mr. Whitlock is in a dire state, and only you can save him. Could you
please treat me once more?”
Skylar gave him a side glance and hissed, “I’m busy.”
“How could you?” Harvey became enraged when Skylar continued to act arrogantly. He and Veronica
had already lowered their standing and humbly requested his help. It was only right for Skylar to
comply with their request. He did not expect the man to simply reject them without hesitation; evidently,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhe was being obnoxious.
Delilah rushed to Skylar and begged earnestly, “Please, Mr. Stone. Please save my grandfather! My
aunt and uncle were at fault. My grandfather shouldn’t be penalized for their actions. I’m out of my wits;
only you can save him. Please save my grandfather one last time! I’m willing to give you all the
Whitlock shares I have as long as he can recover.”
“Delilah Whitlock!” Harvey and his family yelled in unison.
Is she crazy? She has fifteen percent of the total shares! Based on the current market value, that’s
worth about 20 billion dollars! How can she give all of her shares to an outsider?
The crowd gasped once more, wondering what talent the young man in front of them possessed to
merit fifteen percent of Whitlock’s stock. Was he able to resurrect the dead?
While everyone was still digesting the news, Skylar stated calmly, “I’ve no lack of money.” He would not
even be enticed if all the Whitlock stocks were given to him.
Everyone stared at the man blankly, shocked by his words.
