Chapter 234

Skylar! I’m proud of you as your aunt!”“I’ve done much wrong in the past. I do hope you’re willing to put it behind you!”“Take this glass of wine as me trying to make amends with you!”“Cheers!”Laurel tipped her head back and downed the wine in her glass without waiting for Skylar’s response.That was when Ash Munoz, who was behind her, also came close.“I-I’m here to apologize to you too, Sky…”She followed Laurel’s example and emptied her glass of wine.Pearl Fuller couldn’t lag behind either now that the mother-daughter pair had taken the lead.“I want to make amends too, Skylar!”“I always knew you had great charisma. You live up to our expectations of you. You’ve become the most promising one among the juniors.”“To be honest, I always dreamt of owning a Range Rover with an extended range. You’re living my ideal life!”“You’re my hero! Every man should strive to be you!”The situation was now like a tap with its sluices turned on. Everyone had their wine glasses in hand and were rushing toward Skylar.“He’s certainly worthy of being raised by Uncle. The Fullers are blessed to have you!” “You’re amazing, Skylar! You haven’t graduated from high school yet, and you rank higher than Norman. It barely took you six years. That’s what a high-achieving student in a military academy is all about!”“Whether the Fuller family can get out of Altas County and carve a place for ourselves in Cloudtopia will now depend on you.”“Yeah! We’re all counting on you!”The group tried their best to curry favor with Skylar and had long since cast aside their scathing behaviors.“Skylar Stone!”Norman, who was seated at the main table, was angered.Every compliment to Skylar was like a sharp knife, mercilessly stabbing into his heart.All this should’ve been his.Skylar’s appearance not only made his return to his hometown meaningless but also made him lose the opportunity for quick advancement.Who cared if he sat at the main table?The main table was wherever Skylar was at.The others were simply foils to him.The envy in his heart had finally reached its peak.Langston and Spencer both looked displeased.They had always been the focus at every Fuller family gathering and yet they were now receiving the cold shoulder.They felt as if they had been slapped multiple times over listening to everyone singing Skylar’s praises.Skylar, who was in the eye of the storm, was calmly eating.He had absolutely no intention of toasting anyone.He didn’t bother with anyone who was trying to get on his good side.None of them showed any signs of displeasure. They continued to suck up to him as if they were close.After eating and exchanging a few words with Milton, Skylar returned to his room to get some rest.He made a video call to Yulia when he finally got to bed.She was sitting upright on screen
