Brad was about to say hello to Nolan when his eyes fell on Skylar who was in the back. His heart skipped a beat.He walked past Nolan and took quick paces to Skylar right away.âMr. Stone, welcome.âBrad took a more humble role when approaching Skylar.What?Brad, the head of the Moody household, treated Skylar with great respect.Nolan and Yvonne were dumbfounded.Although the Moody family was not the crème de la crème of society, they were powerful and wealthy.There was no way Skylar was a cut above Brad.Nolanâs face could not be any more sour.He wanted to get the one-
up on Skylar with the Oakleysâ connections to the Moodys. Alas, that turned out to be a bust.Faced with Bradâs eagerness to please, Skylar faintly uttered, âDonât be nervous. Iâm just here for the auction.âHearing that, Brad could relax.âMr. Stone, let me show you the way.âBrad said and personally ushered Skylar and Yulia to the auction venue.The group, who followed behind Brad, was shocked by what happened.They could not figure out the reason why Brad would demonstrate high esteem to a nobody. In fact, there was reverence in Bradâs tone.Someone among the group suddenly recalled something Warwick the butler said. Drawing a sharp gasp, the person kept his head down without saying another word.Once the group left, Nolan furrowed his brows and sullenly asked Yvonne, âWho is that Stone guy? Why is the head of the Moody family giving him the highest honor?âIt took a while before Yvonne was able to pull herself together. With her eyes flickering, she fell into deep ponder and replied, âThe guy dabbles a little in homeopathy. I donât think heâs any good, but he has patients fooled.
Maybe he has treated someone in Bradâs family?âYvonne sought cancer patients to stir trouble at Kareem Fashion before, but Skylar managed to cure someone with terminal stomach cancer in front of these patients.Although it sounded plausible that the application of acupuncture could kick cancerâs butt, Skylar had enough medical knowledge to deceive those patients.Yvonneâs reply gave Nolan the assurance he needed. He smirked and said, âIt seems Brad is only attending to the Stone guy out of courtesy. I bet Brad wonât turn against the Oakley family because of the guy.ââOf course! The Oakleys arenât lesser than the Moodys!âYvonne flattered.âCome on. Letâs go to the auction.âNolah proudly uttered.The pair made their way toward the venue.The auction took place on the top floor of Moon Island Resortâs No. 1 building.Skylar and Yulia sat in the middle of the first row under the stage.As the estate owner, Brad sat next to them.Brad had the inventory of the auction pieces delivered and presented the list with both hands to Skylar. âMr. Stone, this is the list of items to be auctioned later.
You can take a look if youâre interested.âAlthough Skylar made Brad cripple his son, Stricklandâs hands in a club in Babylon, revenge was not something Brad could think of.Since then, Brad had used everything in his power and his extensive network to look into Skylar.The investigation came up empty.It once again confirmed Bradâs thoughtsâ¦
