âOld Mr. Belmont, Mr. Oakley, Mrs. Oakley, thank you for gracing me with your presence.ââBy inviting so many distinguished guests to my fatherâs birthday banquet, you truly honor the Sue family.âCharles sneered inwardly as he said that.So what if Homer and Brad showed up because of Skylar?They were like peanuts in front of the Belmonts!How could he have chastised him because of one little girl?
Especially that Homer, who slapped Caleb across the face.He would try to find a way to use the Belmontsâ power against them later!While Charles was contemplating this, Nimrod frowned and said, âWho do you think you are? Is it necessary for me, Nimrod Belmont, to show you any respect?âEven though Nimrod had just bowed his head and apologized to Skylar, he was no pushover.The strong would only submit to those who were stronger than themselves.Charles dared to brag haughtily about how Nimrod honored the Sue family by inviting many people over.Was a mere Sue family worth his laborious effort, regardless of whether he invited these people?Charlesâs heart was racing as he heard Nimrodâs words, but he calmly complimented, âOld Mr. Belmont, you are right. You didnât need to show me any respect in the past.ââMy lovely daughter, Yvonne, is now your grandsonâs girlfriend. We can be considered in-laws.ââAside from you, who can invite the heads of the other Three Great Families here?âNimrod was initially displeased because Charlesâ words sounded sarcastic to him.Immediately, with a livid face, he scolded, â Who the heck are your in-laws? How is your idiot daughter qualified to be my grandsonâs wife?ââIâ¦âCharles intended to use this opportunity to praise Nimrod to highlight his excellent relationship with the familyâs oldest member. He had not expected Nimrod to say such a thing.He opened his mouth but couldnât think of anything to say. He was deeply embarrassed.Nimrod was no longer interested in talking to him, so he turned his head and said to Nolan, who was standing behind him, âThere are so many good women out there for your picking. How did you end up falling for an idiot?ââGrandpa⦠Iâ¦â Nolan briefly struggled to find the right words.Based on what Nimrod said, even his foresight was called into question because of Yvonne.âDo you plan to spend New Year with her if youâre not breaking up?â Nimrod inquired, his face solemn.How could Nolan dare to defy him?He lowered his head and agreed without pausing to think for a second. âYes, grandpa. Iâll make it clear to her in a while.âYvonne, who was standing by the side, became pale.The dream of marrying into the Oakley family and rising through societyâs ranks got shattered instantly.Furthermore, once word of todayâs incident spread, no wealthy heir in Cloudtopia would dare to pursue her.Dudley looked at Charles and couldnât help but sneer, âDo you believe Nimrod had the ability to invite me, Waylon Currey, and Blanc Whitlock? Arenât you assuming too much about him?ââWe came today to celebrate Old Mr. Sueâs birthday entirely because of Mr. Stone and Mrs. Stone.ââMr. Stone⦠Mrs. Stone?âThose strange names came up again.It came from Dudleyâs mouth this time!Charles was momentarily shocked to the core.So Dudley and others came here because of Skylar and Yulia?That was inconceivable!Of course, he wasnât the only one who had trouble believing it. Caleb, Lincoln, Madam Sue, and all of the Sue familyâs relatives all displayed looks of disbelief.How could Skylar and Yulia be regarded in such high regard?
