Triumph Above All Novel

Chapter 214

shouldn’t have spent that money…” Pearl bragged as she gestured to the young man trailing behind her.As his mother motioned for him, Pearl’s young son did a light jog over to his mother’s side. He kept his arms folded as he smiled politely at Skylar and his family. Skylar had probably met him a few times as a child, but he could barely remember him now.“Aunt Pearl, these days a 300,000-dollar car is only the norm.
