Triumph Above All Novel

Chapter 399

appearance earlier today flattered the Sue family, Brad’s visit immediately ignited a fire in Calvert’s soul.Before today, he thought that, given Brad’s standing, Old Mr. Sue might not even be able to meet him even if he went to his place, let alone the idea of Brad visiting Old Mr. Sue to wish him a happy birthday.Brad’s heart started to race as soon as he heard Calvert’s words. He kept dismissively waving his hands and saying, “That’s unnecessary, Mr. Calvert! Why should Old Mr. Sue come out to meet me when he is my elder?”He had no idea who Old Mr. Sue was at first.However, because of Yulia, even Skylar had to address Old Mr. Sue as grandpa, so how could he allow Old Mr. Sue to come out to greet him?Wasn’t that against his original purpose for coming here?Brad didn’t care how Calvert reacted at the moment. He quickened his pace and made his way into the Sue family’s living room. Except for Skylar and Yulia, everyone present had their mouths agape and a look of disbelief on their faces.Anyone with eyes could see that Brad had come to celebrate Old Mr. Sue’s birthday out of respect for Skylar and Yulia, and he was also acting exceptionally humble.Now, Yvonne and the others were at a loss for how to atone for their actions.“Skylar, Yulia, what’s up with Mr. Brad?” Calvert couldn’t stop himself from asking.Yulia, too, looked at Skylar, puzzled.Skylar smiled helplessly.His plan to maintain a low profile today seemed to be completely foiled.Since Homer and Brad were able to learn of the news and show up uninvited, how many others must have heard about it as well?Given how eagerly those people toasted him at Old Mr. Shepard’s birthday banquet the day before, today was only going to get worse.With that in mind, Skylar addressed Calvert directly, “Calvert, hurry up and request that the event organizer add more seating. More uninvited guests will undoubtedly arrive soon to celebrate Grandpa’s birthday.”Calvert was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, “Okay!”As he was about to turn around and leave, he asked tentatively, “What do you think about adding another table? That should suffice, right?”Skylar smiled and shook his head, saying, “Add ten more tables!”“What? Ten tables?”Even the ever-composed Calvert couldn’t help but exclaim when he heard that number.Skylar looked down the long corridor
