Triumph Above All Novel

Chapter 29

Skylar followed the direction of the sound, and saw a girl of an eighteen-year-old girl, in a white satin approaching them.

Skylar was slightly startled when she approached them.

It turned out to be the young girl he met at Ocean Hills last night.

“Who is this girl? Does she not know Harry’s identity?” A young man blurted out.

The middle-aged man next to him slapped his head as soon as he was done speaking.

“Do you want to die? Don’t say things that you don’t know. That’s Judy Shepard. She’s the eldest daughter of the Shepard family!”

“She’s Judy Shepard? Sorry dad, I didn’t know that…”

The young man covered his head, he was sweating from fear.

The Shepard family is one of the four most powerful families in Cloudtopia.

Judy was the only granddaughter of the family and was favored by Mr. Shepard.

No one here could compete with their státus.

Harry, who was furious earlier put away his fists after seeing Judy. Then said to her with a smile. “Are you here to attend the jewelry exhibition too, Miss Shepard?”

“This exhibition was organized by my grandfather to make me happy. What’s so strange about me attending?” Judy snorted.

Harry could not keep up with his facade but still tried his best to smile. “If that’s the case, you’re free to come and leave as you wish, miss.”

“Hmph, if I didn’t show up, I’m afraid someone might make my guest crawl out of here!”

Judy glared at Harry, then turned to Skylar. “My apologies, Mr. Stone for letting something unsightly disturb your enjoyment.”

“Do you need me to arrange for security for you and your family during the exhibition?”

What!

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

Not only was the Shepard family powerful, but they were also famous for being unruly and

willful.

Judy was Mr. Shepard’s favorite grandchild. He did not pay attention to his three other grandsons.

How could she be so respectful towards someone like Skylar? Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Why?

“Miss Shepard… You..”

Harry was dumbfounded.

How could a scumbag like him earn Miss Shepard’s respect?

Yulia was also confused.

Was it still Skylar who had been with Yulia for five years and got rejected as soon as he came back from the military?

Skylar nodded and smiled at Judy.

After all, the Shepard family was wealthy and prestigious. Mr. Shepard was powerful as well.

He knew at once that Skylar’s identity was not that simple after meeting them last night. And yet, he did not even know Skylar’s name.

Judy must have been lectured by Mr. Shepard so she was this respectful toward him.

She nodded her head. It was a sign that Skylar was under their protection.

Harry had not recovered from his shock when he felt Skylar’s gaze on him. He then trembled. “I’m… sorry… Mr. Stone… I didn’t know you were the Shepard family’s guest… I…”

Judy was shocked, then understood what was happening. She then waved at Harry and said, “Didn’t you want him to crawl out of the venue earlier? Well now, take this disgusting woman with you and crawl out together!”

Hum…

Harry and Yvonne’s mind was in a mess.

How could they ever face anyone of the upper-class family in Cloudtopia in the future?

“I don’t think your words will work, Miss Shepard!” Skylar jokingly said.

Judy’s expression changed. She then told Harry and Yvonne right at their faces, “What’s the matter? Didn’t you hear me?”

“I’ll repeat myself. Both of you, crawl out of the venue right now!”

“Everyone in Cloudtopia knows that I have a bad temper. If you ignore my words now, I’ll make you feel worse!”

Harry’s face went pale in an instant. He knew that she could make them do it since she had been spoilt when she was young.

“Why don’t we talk it out, dear?” Yvonne said lightly as she tried to persuade Judy.

Harry gritted his teeth and went down on the floors and crawled out like a dog with Yvonne.

The both of them stood up once they reached the entrance.

“Yulia and Skylar, I’ll never forgive you!”

Inside the exhibition hall. “Well, that’s that. Let’s continue looking at the jewelry, everyone!” Skylar said.

The crowd dispersed.

Yulia had many doubts. However, she swallowed her words since Judy was also there.

“You’re so amazing, daddy! You made the bad guys play the puppy!” Lola clapped her hands and giggled.

Skylar seemed to be the hero in Lola’s heart as he was capable of doing anything.

Skylar thought about it for a while then said, “It was all thanks to this young lady over here. She was the one who drove the bad guys who were bullying mommy away.”

“Judy stroked her hair and felt a little embarrassed. “You can call me aunty, little girl.”

“Why should I call you auntie? You’re so pretty and you’re wearing a white dress. Why should I?” Lola asked as her eyes twinkled.

“Because if you addressed me as sister, I’ll have to call your parents uncle and aunty. It feels like I’m losing my status when I think about it.”

Judy replied seriously.

Oh…

Skylar was a little speechless. Was that worth fighting for?

“No way! I’m calling you sister!”

Lola was too young to understand seniority. However, she was still a toddler, so she was willing

to insist on herself.

“No, you must address me as aunty, or else I won’t answer you!”

Judy did not care.

Skylar could not bear with it much longer and said, “Lola, you should address her by aunty!”
