NovelStartAlthough the other guests were offended by what Nolan said, they could not help but be extremely
polite and respectful toward the Belmonts. That was because none of them would work together just to
bring the Belmont family down.
Meanwhile, Yvonne looked incredibly pleased as she did not expect Nolan would be able to convince
his grandfather, Nimrod and Faye to celebrate Leon’s birthday.
It turned out that the Belmont family was the third most powerful family in the country.
Let’s see how cocky you can still act, Skylar!
As Nolan said earlier, the guests that Skylar invited earlier were nothing in comparison to his
grandfather. All of them were busy buttering Nimrod up. So, even if another hundred people were to
show up, they would mean nothing to Nimrod. The Belmont family’s influence was just too
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtoverwhelming to them.
However, just as Yvonne was basking in her own glory, Nolan approached her with Nimrod and the
others.
“Grandpa, mom, dad, this is my girlfriend, Yvonne.”
“Greetings, Mr. and Mrs. Belmont.” Yvonne greeted them with a pretentiously innocent look.
“Greetings.” Old Master Belmont and Nolan’s parents replied with a gentle nod and smile.
Their smiles made Yvonne starstruck as she could not believe that Old Master Belmont nodded at her.
This meant that she was another step closer to marrying into their family.
Moreover, seeing how Nolan was so close to her, marrying him would be the same as marrying into the
third most powerful family in the country.
In her glorious daze, Yvonne glanced at Calvert and said, “What are you still standing there for,
Calvert? Hurry up and get grandpa over to greet Mr. and Mrs. Belmont.”
Although she sounded impatient, Calvert dared not delay a second since they were dealing with the
Belmont family. So, he immediately rushed over to the living room.
Suddenly, Skylar stopped him and said, “That won’t be necessary! Come on, they’re just the Belmonts,
we don’t have to trouble grandpa now. Well, since they’re here to greet him, they should go to him
themselves.”
“Oh?” Nimrod’s expression turned bitter as soon as he heard that as he looked at Skylar and asked,
“Now, who do you think you are?”
He understood that it was already a great honor for an affluent family to grace the banquet of an
insignificant family. He thought that he was generous enough to not make Leon owe his family greatly
for such an honor. So, expecting him to greet them himself would be the bare minimum of basic

expected them to greet Leon themselves. He even expected them to bring gifts for Leon.
This made him assume that Skylar meant to tell him that Leon’s position in the city was far greater than
his.
When Calvert noticed how displeased Nimrod seemed, he immediately said, “Stop it, Skylar!”
Yvonne on the other hand, was incredibly pleased and excited when that happened. She was excited
to ostracize Skylar and Yulia by using Old Master Belmont’s reputation. She did not expect Skylar
would shoot himself in the foot for her. She felt like it was her lucky day.
So, she immediately told Nimrod, “Mr. Belmont, he happens to be the b*stard man my cousin is seeing
out there. I have no idea what he did to convince so many people to celebrate my grandpa’s birthday.
You know, he was bragging to me about how awesome he is before you arrived. But, he’s just not
pleased about how he has shot himself in the foot after your arrival. This is exactly why he’s
disrespecting your family’s honor!” Yvonne shot Skylar a cocky look while saying that.
