However, when Harlan noticed Nicholas, he immediately strode over and said, âOh, itâs you whoâs talking to my mom, Nicholas.âBefore Nicholas could say anything, Clarrisa grabbed Harlanâs arm and said, âOh thank goodness that youâre back. Or else, Iâd be bullied by Mr. Wexler!ââWhat are you talking about, mom?â Harlan looked confused as he knew that Nicholas would never bully his mother since they were still considered close.Clarrisa glared at Nicholas and complained to Harlan. âOh, itâs about that old house of mine. You did so much work to get close to Mr. Wexler and yet he only agreed to give me 3.5 million dollars. If we had to factor in how much we spent that night on the meal, we only get about three million dollars at most. But the thing is, Mr. Wexler gave Nathanielâs family ten million dollars in front of me earlier. I was just trying to reason with him earlier, but not only did he tell me to scram, he even asked who you thought you were to compare yourself to Skylar. Iâm pretty sure that Mr.
Wexler is a mad man because he addressed Skylar as Mr. Stone earlier. I mean, Skylar is nothing more than a b*stard child, I donât think heâs better than you are, right?âIt was only then did Harlan and Angelica notice Skylar and immediately felt awkward about the whole situation. They obviously remembered how Angelica hired someone to steal a ruby and vividly remembered how Skylar came to cause a scene at their office. That scene humiliated them in front of the other staff. So, they were seething with pure hatred and wanted nothing more than to rip Skylar apart then. However, they found the situation odd after listening to what Clarrisa told them. They wondered, Mr. Stone? Wait, Mr. Wexler addressed Skylar as Mr. Stone? However, before Harlan could say anything, Nicholas scoffed and said, âI donât care if that mother-in-law of yours insults me, but donât ever insult Mr. Stone. Why donât you teach her how she should act? Or, would you want me to do it for you instead?âHearing this startled Harlan as he immediately tried to ease the tension by saying, âOh, Nicholas, my mother-in-law is a loose cannon that hasnât seen much of the world yet. She means well, so I hope you can forgive her for that. Look, youâre friends with Mr. Jamerson and heâs an old classmate of mine. Regardless, weâre all a family, so how could we allow an outsider to drive a wedge between us, right?âSuddenly, Angelica glared at Skylar and said, âThatâs right! Look, not only is he an outsider, heâs a b*stard too. My mom is right! Skylar is nothing more than a complete b*stard!âHearing this immediately annoyed Nicholas as he wondered what was wrong with that family and how he even managed to know such foolish people.âBeat them up for me!â He was tired of responding to them, so he immediately ordered the two bodyguards behind him to beat them up.As soon as the order was made the bodyguards immediately approached Clarrisa and Angelica before slapping them both in their faces.Since his bodyguards were trained professionals, the slaps were incredibly heavy and the impact was enough to put them both in a momentary daze.âMr. Wexler, youâ¦â Clarrisa wiped the blood off her mouth and stared at Nicholas in shock. She never expected him to have his bodyguards slap her in front of Harlan and her daughter.
