Triumph Above All Novel

Chapter 233

the Fullers because Norman had extended an invitation.Why would he deign to stay now that the Fullers had pissed off Skyler?Skyler, however, shot him a glance. His tone was calm. “It’s almost time for dinner. Let’s dine before we leave.”“Yes!”Milton responded respectfully with unconcealable glee.The Fullers had much on their mind, but couldn’t voice their protests.Skylar was almost amused by the sight of them with their tails between their legs.You enjoy oppressing others, do you? I’ll give you a good taste of what it’s like to be stifled by true power.Back in the mansion.A feast had been set up in the parlor.Langston brought both Spencer and Robert with him to the main table.Norman and Alex were also there.This was the kind of seating arrangement that more than pleased the Fullers.Things were, however, different now.Langston and the others fidgeted in their seats when Skylar’s identity was brought up.“You and Mr. Wintringham should join us at our table!”Langston pressed on and took the initiative to extend an invitation to Skylar.It was a sight as incomprehensible as witnessing the sun rising from the west.He had always considered Skylar to be a bastard child who had nothing to do with the Fuller family.Allowing Nathaniel to bring him to the family banquet was already testing the limits of his patience.Having a place at the main table?Dream on!He had to set aside his pride and take the initiative to invite Skylar for Norman’s sake. The Fuller family’s future might also be hanging on his decision.To Langston, even if Skylar held great power, he was still on foreign soil. Only Norman gaining a firm foothold on the general’s side would bring their family glory.Milton showed great respect for Skylar. The latter putting in a good word for Norman would add certainty to the deployment order, allowing Norman to stay by the general’s side.He believed Norman would go far with his intelligence and that he would soon be equal to whatever task was thrown at him.It wouldn’t take him long to surpass Skylar.Norman was superior to Skylar in every way. The only thing he lacked was an opportunity.He was going to make sure Skylar suffered tenfold once Norman surpassed him!Langston put on a kind front but was clearly harboring malicious intentions.Skylar flatly responded, “No need.”He then sat with his adoptive parents at their table alongside Milton.The reason he came to the party today was to satisfy Nathaniel’s want to show off his son.He cared little for what others thought of him.“Skylar Stone!”Robert, who was by Langston’s side, growled in warning.He hadn’t expected Skylar to not show Langston a single shred of respect despite the latter personally extending him an invite.Langston reached out and stopped Robert, who was about to throw a fit about what happened.It was only then that Robert regained his senses. He choked down his building anger as recalled how Milton flattered Skylar.They couldn’t even afford to offend Milton. What were they expecting to do with Skylar?Naomi Fuller had no choice but to swallow her grievances at the sight.Years. I’m greeted with nothing but annoyance when I come home.Old Mr.
