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, âThis is all my fault, Mr. Stone. Iâm sorry for my rash acts!âThe crowd gasped at the shocking scene. However, Skylar paid no attention to the Whitlocks, and simply repeated to the sales assistant, âGet me the bill!âThe lady nodded nervously and replied, âYes, sir, please wait a moment!â 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.âSweethearts, letâs go! Iâll take you to eat something delicious!â Skylar held Yulia with one hand and hugged Lola with the other as they strolled away merrily.âHurray!â Lola cheered.When Yulia heard Skylar address them as âSweetheart,â
she blushed. âHush. Everyone is looking!âThe man leaned in her ear and whispered, âWe shall continue our sweet whisperings after we reach home tonight.ââStop it!â Yulia pretended to look annoyed, but she was secretly delighted. Skylar was glad to see her mood had improved since the episode earlier. âHold on, Mr. Stone,â Harvey called out, anxious to see the trio walking out of the shop.
âWe 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?âSkylar gave him a side glance and hissed, âIâm busy.ââHow could you?â 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, he was being obnoxious.Delilah rushed to Skylar and begged earnestly, âPlease, Mr. Stone. Please save my grandfather! My aunt and uncle were at fault. My grandfather shouldnât be penalized for their actions.
Iâm out of my wits; only you can save him. Please save my grandfather one last time! Iâm willing to give you all the Whitlock shares I have as long as he can recover.ââDelilah Whitlock!â Harvey and his family yelled in unison.Is she crazy? She has fifteen percent of the total shares! Based on the current market value, thatâs 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 Whitlockâs stock. Was he able to resurrect the dead?While everyone was still digesting the news, Skylar stated calmly, âIâve no lack of money.â 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.
