NovelOnlineUpon hearing Yvonne’s words, Georgia let out a sigh of relief.
Skylar was not the reason for Homer’s attendance at the banquet.
Now that I think about it, Homer has the support of the powerful Currey family anyways.
Besides Yvonne’s boyfriend, Nolan, it would take a miracle for someone to invite him to an event.
Even if Skylar is acquainted with Homer, it can still be impossible to invite him to show an appearance
at Old Mr. Shepard’s birthday banquet.
As Georgia thought, she had a proud look on her face again.
She glanced at Skylar and Yulia, then said disdainfully, “Skylar and Yulia… look at Yvonne and Mr.
Oakley, then look at yourselves. You’re both granddaughters and grandsons-in-law, yet the difference
is…”
Before finishing her sentence, she noticed Homer ignored Yvonne and walked straight toward Skylar
and Yulia.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe way he was scurrying made him look clumsy.
Once he was right in front of Skylar, Homer immediately nodded and smiled at him. “It is my pleasure to
meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Stone.”
What?
Mr. and Mrs. Stone?
Georgia’s mouth was agape, and her eyes widened up like saucers upon seeing this.
Beside her, Tyler also felt mind-blown as his eyes flickered.
According to Yvonne, wasn’t Homer invited by Nolan?
If not, why does he only have eyes for Skylar and Yulia in the first place?
Besides, look at Homer being nervous and awkward in front of Skylar!
Is this really Homer Mcgee – The CEO of the Crown Corporation and the Underground Overlord that
everyone in Cloudtopia fears?
Meanwhile, Yvonne was also having mixed feelings about this.
She was under the impression that Homer showed up at the banquet because of her boyfriend. She felt
giddy just a moment ago, knowing she could use this to mock Yulia, but she did not expect the tables to
turn this quickly.
She awkwardly stood, gritting her while glaring at Skylar and Yulia. She wished for them to disappear in
that instant.
At the same time, she still felt puzzled about the situation.
Yesterday she had clearly discussed with Nolan using the Oakley and Belmont families’ influence to
prevent anyone from attending their grandfather’s birthday banquet for Yulia’s sake.
With the power of the Oakley and Belmont families, it should be a walk in the park to send an invitation
to the Currey family.
Homer Mcgee is a mere pawn in the Currey family. How dare he greet Skylar and Yulia?
Yvonne was confused because she was unaware of what had happened at Dudley’s birthday banquet.
When the heads of the Shepard and Whitlock families showed their respect toward Skylar, the moment
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas forever etched into the minds of the guests present.
It was exaggerated to say the big shots in Cloudtopia were scrambling to meet with Yulia.
However, if the person of interest was Skylar instead, it would not be an exaggeration.
Could a grandson-in-law of the Belmont family really be on the same level as someone who was
honored as a guest by Dudley Shepard?
As Yvonne and the others were still trying to wrap their heads around what happened, Skylar looked at
Homer and was quite surprised. “Why are you here?”
In reality, Skylar could easily invite the top three figures of Nirth, let alone the ones in Cloudtopia.
However, a mighty person would not need to use these tactics to brag about their influence when he
was the symbol of power himself!
When Skylar showed a somewhat unpleasant look, Homer smiled and replied cautiously, “I heard today
is Mrs. Stone’s grandfather’s 70th birthday, so I’ve prepared a gift to show my respect to your family. I
understand that Mr. Stone despised fake gestures of courtesy. However, rest assured that I have no
other intention but to show some respect. I hope you’ll accept my gift, Mr. Stone.”
