Triumph Above All novel

Skylar nodded and smiled politely without saying a word about Delilah’s respectful bow. The woman then straightened her back
and looked at Todrick. “Apologize to Mr. Stone immediately!” she demanded.
“Let’s get this straight, Delilah. The old man who’s backing you is on the brink of death. The head of the Whitlock family is going
to be my dad. Who are you to instruct me? I’m the young master of the Whitlock family. Why should I apologize to a country
bumpkin? He doesn’t deserve it!” Anger poured through Todrick when he heard the chastise. He had long considered Deillah an
eyesore. Hence, it was the perfect chance for him to vent his displeasure toward the woman.
Delilah smoldered with resentment when she saw Todrick’s smug look. Just as she was about to retaliate, a deep voice said,
“Shut up, Todrick Whitlock!”
Who’s reprimanding Todrick again? The curious crowd turned and saw a middle-aged couple approaching; they were protected
by a group of men in black. It was Delilah’s uncle and aunt, Harvey and Veronica.
“Why are you here, Dad, Mum?” Todrick asked in surprise.
Harvey disregarded him and admonished, “Immediately apologize to Mr. Stone!”
Everyone pondered with confusion, why is Harvey Whitlock asking his son to apologize to Skylar Stone?
Harvey bowed to Skylar and said, “Mr. Stone, I’m sorry for the earlier misunderstanding in the hospital. I hope you won’t take it to
heart.”
Veronica added, “It’s my fault, Mr. Stone. I’m sorry. Please accept my sincere apology.”
The onlookers were shocked by the unexpected turn of events. Everything that Harvey and his family say or do impacts the
Whitlock family. Why are they apologizing to Skylar Stone all of a sudden? They even address him with the utmost respect. I
wonder what’s the true identity of this ordinary-looking man. Or does he have a special talent?
Everyone looked at Skylar with admiration, including Yulia, who had not expected the Whitlocks to regard him so highly. Only
Todrick was stunned beyond words at the twist of events. Amanda, who was standing next to him, also looked fondly at Skylar,
intrigued.
“What’s going on, Dad, Mum?” Todrick could not help but ask. ”He’s just a country bumpkin. He doesn’t deserve this...”

The man could not figure out why his parents were so courteous toward Skylar. Who the hell is he? I know all the big shots in
Cloudtopia. Even if I’ve not spoken to them before, they should at least look familiar to me. Furthermore, I’ve never heard of
anyone with the surname “Stone.” The Whitlocks are one of the Four Great Families, and we have built up our networks and
consolidated our powers over the years. Our family assets are worth billions of dollars. My parents don’t even display such
courtesy to Mr. Blanc Whitlock. What’s the matter with them?
Harvey gave a resounding slap on his son’s head and chided, “I said to shut up. If you refuse to apologize to Mr. Stone, I’ll
terminate all your credit cards immediately.”
