Lucas glanced at Dudley in fear. What Judy said had gotten Dudley’s attention, unfortunately. Dudley
frowned and asked, “What are you talking about, Judy?”
After Judy told him what had happened, Dudley was furious. He glared at Lucas, “Who do you think
you are, Lucas? The Currey family should be ashamed of having you as their eldest son. Mr. Stone is
our honored guest, and if you continue to disrespect him, I would have to ask you to leave
immediately.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucas wanted to explain, but Dudley did not want to hear another word from him. “Am I not making
myself clear enough? Get lost!”
Embarrassed, his face turned fiery red. Lucas did not dare to object. “Yes, Old Mr. Shepard, I will make
my way out now.” He bit the bullet and began to walk away.
“Why are you leaving so soon?” Skylar spoke, “I thought you said you were going to make me pay for
killing Harper and his wife.”
Lucas scowled at Skylar. He had already backed down because of Dudley, and Skylar was stepping
out of line now. “Don’t push it, Skylar! Even if you are Old Mr. Shepard’s honored guest, I will make
sure you suffer if you cross me again.”
“Who’s pushing it now? I would say you’re a fool to cross Mr. Stone, kid,” an old man walked over and
joined the conversation. People were startled to find Mr Whitlock here as well.
It was rumored that Blanc Whitlock was dying, so it was a surprise to see him here. Blanc was
accompanied by his family members, including Delilah and Todrick.
Blanc rushed toward Skylar and bowed, “It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Stone.” Skylar had rescued

Stone.”
Everyone’s jaw dropped. “Who is Skylar Stone?” “Why does the Whitlock family bow to him?” “Two of
the four great families of Cloudtopia have bowed to him now!” “He has to be powerful for them to have
such a high regard for him.”
People here were either rich or reputable. They thought they had seen everything under the sun, but
seeing two of the four great families bowing to a man was still a spectacle.
They were dumbfounded by what happened today. Who exactly is Skylar Stone?
