Triumph Above All novel

Chapter 444

However, when Harlan noticed Nicholas, he immediately strode over and said, “Oh, it’s you who’s

talking to my mom, Nicholas.”

Before Nicholas could say anything, Clarrisa grabbed Harlan’s arm and said, “Oh thank goodness that

you’re back. Or else, I’d be bullied by Mr. Wexler!”

“What are you talking about, mom?” 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. “Oh, it’s 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 Nathaniel’s 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. I’m 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 don’t think

he’s better than you are, right?”

It 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, “I don’t care if that mother-in-

law of yours insults me, but don’t ever insult Mr. Stone. Why don’t you teach her how she should act?

Or, would you want me to do it for you instead?”

Hearing this startled Harlan as he immediately tried to ease the tension by saying, “Oh, Nicholas, my

mother-in-law is a loose cannon that hasn’t seen much of the world yet. She means well, so I hope you

can forgive her for that. Look, you’re friends with Mr. Jamerson and he’s an old classmate of mine.

Regardless, we’re all a family, so how could we allow an outsider to drive a wedge between us, right?”

Suddenly, Angelica glared at Skylar and said, “That’s right! Look, not only is he an outsider, he’s a

b*stard too. My mom is right! Skylar is nothing more than a complete b*stard!”

Hearing this immediately annoyed Nicholas as he wondered what was wrong with that family and how

he even managed to know such foolish people.

“Beat them up for me!” 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.

“Mr. Wexler, you…” 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.
