Triumph Above All novel

Chapter 518 Is That Not Enough For You

It seemed that Skylar had decided to come clean to Yulia that night since he finally found the courage to do so. Besides, they were going to spend that night alone and perhaps it would take him no effort to cheer her up anyway/ However, Lola was at the brink of tears after hearing what he said. She pleaded, "Daddy, I want to hear a story from you. I'm only able to go to sleep after hearing your voice, daddy. You can't even cuddle with me tonight, are you not willing to even tell me a story?"

"Oh…" Skylar could not bring himself to refuse her after hearing her say that. So, he nodded and said, "Alright now. I'll tell you an awesome story then…"

So, he spent a good long while to finally put Lola to sleep. After bidding Valerie goodbye, he hung up the call. However, as soon as he turned around, he noticed that Yulia was already asleep. Perhaps it was due to the alcohol that she drank earlier that day that made her so sleepy. So, Skylar let out a helpless sigh as he stared at her face. It seemed that he had no choice but to find another opportunity to come clean then…

The following day.

Since they promised Lola that they would return home by nightfall, they did not stay to shop in Troiz County. Since everything was already taken care of, they decided to head toward Maersk County. Skylar did not want to see Lola's depressing look. After a two hour train ride, they finally arrived at Maersk County train station. However, as soon as they reached the exit, they were greeted by a wave of bodyguards. They were yelling while ushering the passengers to stand aside. "Make way! Make way!"

After they had made everyone step aside, they immediately stood in two lines as they waited at the exit. It seemed like they were getting ready to greet some powerful person. This scene annoyed Skylar.

"Are you blind? Didn't you see that everyone else had scattered? If you've offended our boss' guest, you can never even begin to comprehend the consequences that will befall you!" The bodyguard yelled at Skylar and Yulia when they noticed them.

However, Skylar glared at them and questioned. "This is a public walkway, why can't we walk on it?" If they were polite to Skylar, he would have understood that they were doing their jobs and would let them slide. However, those bodyguards were bold enough to threaten him. So, he snapped back at them. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Skylar scoffed before grabbing Yulia's hand and insisted on walking on the central walkway.
