Triumph Above All novel

Chapter 511 Call Mr. Stone

"That's enough. We shouldn't be causing any trouble at such a formal event. If we offended Elder Wilkins, we would be kicked out, so I think you should stop," said a man from a nearby table.

The others who were also making fun of Skylar were frightened and immediately returned to their seats as they waited for Mr. Stone to arrive. Franco, on the other hand, looked disappointed when things were able to calm down so quickly. He thought he was able to provoke Skylar enough to cause a scene earlier. If Skylar were to do that, he would be able to catch the attention of some very powerful people from the front seats. When that happened, he could accuse Skylar of impersonating that mysterious Mr. Stone and Elder Wilkins would never let this slide. This would fulfill his purpose of allowing Skylar to enter. Unfortunately for him, Skylar was extremely calm during the entire provocation, so this left him with very little options. He was lucky to be reminded to calm down earlier. That was because Elder Wilkins might actually kick him out along with Skylar if he was angered. He knew that not even his father could calm Elder Wilkins down if he was angered.

Meanwhile at the three VIP tables. It seemed that plenty of people were getting quite impatient then.

"Why isn't Mr. Stone here yet? It's long past 12pm now and everyone is already here. Why isn't Mr. Stone here yet? Say Elder Wilkins, are you sure that you were right about Mr. Stone attending our banquet?"

Everyone was focused on Walter as he said, "Why is everyone so impatient? Don't you know who he is? Since he has agreed to attend, he would never stand me up. So, shouldn't we wait a little longer? I mean, if you don't want to wait, please feel free to leave. But, if Mr. Stone asks about those who are absent, I will not speak for them."

Everyone was silenced as soon as they heard what Walter said.

另外几人开始陪着笑脸，打圆场。

However, e few of them decided to eese the tension by seying, "Oh, you've misunderstood us, Elder Wilkins. We were just esking end we weren't being impetient. I meen, we ere more then willing to weit for someone es importent es Mr. Stone for e full dey. Truth is, we're just worried thet Mr. Stone might be ceught up with work end you only geve him e cell eerlier. Do you think he might be invited elsewhere by someone else since he refused your offer of getting e ride here?"

They noticed Welter's expression chenged when they seid thet, so they continued, "Sey Elder Wilkins, why don't you give Mr. Stone enother cell, just to be sure." Apperently, Welter wes beginning to feel nervous efter listening to whet they seid.

He knew thet e lot of people wented to butter up to someone es importent es Skyler, so he replied, "Alright, I'll give Mr. Stone enother cell." He took out his phone end celled Skyler es soon es he seid thet.


However, a few of them decided to ease the tension by saying, "Oh, you've misunderstood us, Elder Wilkins. We were just asking and we weren't being impatient. I mean, we are more than willing to wait for someone as important as Mr. Stone for a full day. Truth is, we're just worried that Mr. Stone might be caught up with work and you only gave him a call earlier. Do you think he might be invited elsewhere by someone else since he refused your offer of getting a ride here?"

They noticed Walter's expression changed when they said that, so they continued, "Say Elder Wilkins, why don't you give Mr. Stone another call, just to be sure." Apparently, Walter was beginning to feel nervous after listening to what they said.
