Skylar followed the direction of the sound, and saw a girl of an eighteen-year-old girl, in a white satin approaching them.
Skylar was slightly startled when she approached them.
It turned out to be the young girl he met at Ocean Hills last night.
âWho is this girl? Does she not know Harryâs identity?â A young man blurted out.
The middle-aged man next to him slapped his head as soon as he was done speaking.
âDo you want to die? Donât say things that you donât know. Thatâs Judy Shepard. Sheâs the eldest daughter of the Shepard family!â
âSheâs Judy Shepard? Sorry dad, I didnât know thatâ¦â
The young man covered his head, he was sweating from fear.
The Shepard family is one of the four most powerful families in Cloudtopia.
Judy was the only granddaughter of the family and was favored by Mr. Shepard.
No one here could compete with their státus.
Harry, who was furious earlier put away his fists after seeing Judy. Then said to her with a smile. âAre you here to attend the jewelry exhibition too, Miss Shepard?â
âThis exhibition was organized by my grandfather to make me happy. Whatâs so strange about me attending?â Judy snorted.
Harry could not keep up with his facade but still tried his best to smile. âIf thatâs the case, youâre free to come and leave as you wish, miss.â
âHmph, if I didnât show up, Iâm afraid someone might make my guest crawl out of here!â
Judy glared at Harry, then turned to Skylar. âMy apologies, Mr. Stone for letting something unsightly disturb your enjoyment.â
âDo you need me to arrange for security for you and your family during the exhibition?â
What!
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Not only was the Shepard family powerful, but they were also famous for being unruly and willful.
Judy was Mr. Shepardâs favorite grandchild. He did not pay attention to his three other grandsons.
How could she be so respectful towards someone like Skylar?
Why?
âMiss Shepard⦠You..â
Harry was dumbfounded.
How could a scumbag like him earn Miss Shepardâs respect?
Yulia was also confused.
Was it still Skylar who had been with Yulia for five years and got rejected as soon as he came back from the military?
Skylar nodded and smiled at Judy.
After all, the Shepard family was wealthy and prestigious. Mr. Shepard was powerful as well.
He knew at once that Skylarâs identity was not that simple after meeting them last night. And yet, he did not even know Skylarâs name.
Judy must have been lectured by Mr. Shepard so she was this respectful toward him.
She nodded her head. It was a sign that Skylar was under their protection.
Harry had not recovered from his shock when he felt Skylarâs gaze on him. He then trembled. âIâmâ¦
sorry⦠Mr. Stone⦠I didnât know you were the Shepard familyâs guest⦠Iâ¦â
Judy was shocked, then understood what was happening. She then waved at Harry and said, âDidnât you want him to crawl out of the venue earlier? Well now, take this disgusting woman with you and crawl out together!â
Humâ¦
Harry and Yvonneâs mind was in a mess.
How could they ever face anyone of the upper-class family in Cloudtopia in the future?
âI donât think your words will work, Miss Shepard!â Skylar jokingly said.
Judyâs expression changed. She then told Harry and Yvonne right at their faces, âWhatâs the matter?
Didnât you hear me?â
âIâll repeat myself. Both of you, crawl out of the venue right now!â
âEveryone in Cloudtopia knows that I have a bad temper. If you ignore my words now, Iâll make you feel worse!â
Harryâs face went pale in an instant. He knew that she could make them do it since she had been spoilt when she was young.
âWhy donât we talk it out, dear?â Yvonne said lightly as she tried to persuade Judy.
Harry gritted his teeth and went down on the floors and crawled out like a dog with Yvonne.
The both of them stood up once they reached the entrance.
âYulia and Skylar, Iâll never forgive you!â
Inside the exhibition hall. âWell, thatâs that. Letâs continue looking at the jewelry, everyone!â Skylar said.
The crowd dispersed.
Yulia had many doubts. However, she swallowed her words since Judy was also there.
âYouâre so amazing, daddy! You made the bad guys play the puppy!â Lola clapped her hands and giggled.
Skylar seemed to be the hero in Lolaâs heart as he was capable of doing anything.
Skylar thought about it for a while then said, âIt was all thanks to this young lady over here. She was the one who drove the bad guys who were bullying mommy away.â
âJudy stroked her hair and felt a little embarrassed. âYou can call me aunty, little girl.â
âWhy should I call you auntie? Youâre so pretty and youâre wearing a white dress. Why should I?â Lola asked as her eyes twinkled.
âBecause if you addressed me as sister, Iâll have to call your parents uncle and aunty. It feels like Iâm losing my status when I think about it.â
Judy replied seriously.
Ohâ¦
Skylar was a little speechless. Was that worth fighting for?
âNo way! Iâm calling you sister!â
Lola was too young to understand seniority. However, she was still a toddler, so she was willing to insist on herself.
âNo, you must address me as aunty, or else I wonât answer you!â
Judy did not care.
Skylar could not bear with it much longer and said, âLola, you should address her by aunty!â
