“Skylar Stone, I’ll not let you off!” Raw anger shot through Harry as he yelled at the top of his lungs.
Skylar, who was in the corridor, remained calm despite Harry’s threat. He did not feel threatened even if
the entire Chase family retaliated, let alone Harry.
After Skylar entered the car, he received a phone call from his adoptive father, Nathaniel.
“Norman is coming back soon, Skylar. We are planning a welcome party for him, and all the Fuller
family members are expected to be there. You have been in the military all these years. Many of your
relatives are concerned about your well-being as it has been a long time since they met you. Why don’t
you come to the party with me if you’re free in the next few days? I can also let everyone know that my
son is not worse off than Norman,” Nathaniel said proudly.

willing to play the role of a filial son, making his father proud. He knew that Nathaniel was not out to
take advantage of his wealth; rather, he was just like any normal father, eager to demonstrate to his
relatives that he had raised a capable son.
Skyla used to go to the Fuller house for the annual family gathering when he was a kid. This year’s
gathering was also to welcome Norman home, as the dates coincided.
The Fullers were a large family with numerous factions. In a small town like Atlas County, they were
regarded as a powerful family. There were nine siblings in total, with Nathaniel being the oldest. Except
for Nathaniel and Naomi, who were salaried employees, the rest of the siblings held positions of power
or ran successful businesses. As a result, Nathaniel and Naomi were always embarrassed at the
annual family gathering. Furthermore, Nathaniel’s clan had made cynical remarks in response to
Skylar’s disappearance. That’s one of the main reasons Nathaniel wanted Skylar to attend this year’s
family gathering. He wanted everyone to know that his adopted son was just as capable as any of the
other Fuller sons. It was natural for a person to yearn for praise after suffering in silence for a long time.
Nathaniel was overjoyed to hear Skylar’s acceptance. They ended the conversation after the former
updated the latter on the logistic matters for the family gathering.
“Let’s visit the Automobile Megastore,” Skylar instructed Dianne, who was seated at the driver’s seat.
Given his current position of prominence, Skylar would not have given a damn about what people
thought of him. He was aware that Nathaniel wanted to brag about his adopted son to the other Fuller
family members. Therefore, he reasoned that he could make use of material success to fulfill his

Half an hour later, Dianne parked the vehicle in front of Automobile Megastore. When they walked into
the store, they heard someone calling, “Are you… Skylar Stone?”
When Skylar turned to look, he noticed a young boy standing in a black T-shirt in the distance. A
slightly overweight middle-aged man with white hair was sitting next to him.
When he got a closer look, he realized the man was Jerry Moores, his senior-year high school form
teacher. The young boy next to him was most likely his son, Timothy Moores, due to their striking
resemblance.
Timothy had a crush on Valerie Pearce. After his failed confession, he discovered that the woman had
feelings for Skylar. Hence, to prove that he was better, he naively sent Skylar an official invitation to
compete. His opponent, on the other hand, did not bother to respond.
Skylar never cared about the matter. However, he was reminded of his school days when he spotted
Timothy.
