Malcolm rushed forward when he saw Adam and shouted, âThis man and woman barged into my home, Mr. Adam. They killed my daughter-in-law and now want to kill my son.ââI implore you to do justice for the Fox family!âAdam scowled as he noticed Harper with an ashen face lying in a pool of blood.He was about to respond when he realized that the man Malcolm was referring to was Skylar, and he instantly became terrified.He quickly regained his composure. He ignored Malcolm, took a quick step forward, bowed to Skylar, and exclaimed, âMr. Stone!âBuzz!Malcolmâs mind was racing.Mr. Stone?
Adam, the Currey familyâs son, actually addressed this fellow as Mr. Stone?Additionally, he couldnât have honored him more respectfully than that!That can only mean Skylarâs status is far superior to Adamâs.God! Who had Harper and Ava riled up? What kind of wrath had they inflicted on the Fox family?!Malcolm felt a chill all over his body, including his heart.âHmm.âSkylar glanced at Adam and nodded.Only then did Adam straighten up and ask, somewhat cautiously, âMr. Stone, Malcolm is a friend of my fatherâs. Iâm wondering if you could spare his sonâs life for my familyâs sake?âAdam had rushed here after receiving a call from Homer.He had intended to take Malcolm and Harper to Skylar to confess their sins and seek mercy in person.He never imagined that even after rushing over, he would still be a step too late.Of course, he never anticipated that Skylar would visit the Fox familyâs home to deal with Harper in person.He was now relying on the namesake of the Currey family to save Harperâs life. Skylar sneered when he heard his words. âYou want me to spare Harper?â he asked, raising his eyebrows.âHe arranged for a large truck to cause an accident that would kill my daughter and me.ââWill the Currey family come to bear this debt for him?âSkylar and the Currey family were not friends.He only ever had a meal with Adam in his hometown at Atlas County the last time, and it was also because Naomi was there.Skylar decided not to be courteous to Adam after witnessing him speaking to him without regard.Adamâs expression changed noticeably in response to Skylarâs words, and he quickly lowered his head and uttered, âMr. Stone, I apologize. I was the one who spoke out of turn.âHowever, an elderly man in a suit standing behind Adam snorted coldly and said, âAll is well that ends well. Donât go too far with this!ââMr. Adam addressed you respectfully as Mr. Stone because he is humble. Do you truly believe you are above all?ââStuart! Donât be disrespectful to Mr. Stone!âAdam quickly intervened to stop him.However, the old man in the suit proudly waved his hand and said, âDonât be concerned, Mr.
Adam. I can easily deal with an immature boy!ââWhatever the problem is, Iâll handle it myself!âBefore Adam could react, he yelled coldly at Skylar, âBoy, Iâll give you two minutes to get you and your people out of the Fox familyâs home.ââOtherwise, when I act, youâll suffer terrible repercussions, I assure you!ââOh?ââItâs so pathetic that you still donât know your place at your age,â Skylar sneered.âWhat did you say?âThe old man in the suit was enraged. Just as he was about to assume a fighting stance, Skylar spat, âKneel!â
