Skylar nodded and smiled politely without saying a word about Delilahâs respectful bow. The woman then straightened her back and looked at Todrick. âApologize to Mr. Stone immediately!â she demanded.âLetâs get this straight, Delilah. The old man whoâs 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? Iâm the young master of the Whitlock family. Why should I apologize to a country bumpkin? He doesnât deserve it!â 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 Todrickâs smug look. Just as she was about to retaliate, a deep voice said, âShut up, Todrick Whitlock!âWhoâs 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 Delilahâs uncle and aunt, Harvey and Veronica.âWhy are you here, Dad, Mum?â Todrick asked in surprise.Harvey disregarded him and admonished, âImmediately apologize to Mr. Stone!âEveryone pondered with confusion, why is Harvey Whitlock asking his son to apologize to Skylar Stone?Harvey bowed to Skylar and said, âMr. Stone, Iâm sorry for the earlier misunderstanding in the hospital. I hope you wonât take it to heart.â Veronica added, âItâs my fault, Mr. Stone. Iâm sorry. Please accept my sincere apology.âThe 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 whatâs 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.âWhatâs going on, Dad, Mum?â Todrick could not help but ask. âHeâs just a country bumpkin. He doesnât deserve thisâ¦âThe 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 Iâve not spoken to them before, they should at least look familiar to me. Furthermore, Iâve never heard of anyone with the surname âStone.â 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 donât even display such courtesy to Mr. Blanc Whitlock. Whatâs the matter with them?Harvey gave a resounding slap on his sonâs head and chided, âI said to shut up. If you refuse to apologize to Mr.
Stone, Iâll terminate all your credit cards immediately.â
