Triumph Above All Novel

Chapter 40

Apparently, she began thinking about Skylar and how she mocked him earlier. She was also starting to have flashbacks of their childhood. It turned out that Skylar never stopped being nice

to her.

So, waves of intense pent up emotions washed over her as Brian’s family’s insults had caused her to dissolve into a puddle of tears.

“Where’s Skylar, dad? I really want to thank him.” Naomi sobbed.

“He told me that he had work to do. Let me call him for you.”

Nathaniel called Skylar after that.

After accepting her father’s phone, Naomi said, “I’m so sorry, Skylar.”

She wanted to thank him initially, but everything ended up being an apology instead.

Skylar was stunned when he heard that, so he asked, “Are you crying, Naomi? What’s going on?` Were you bullied by Brian’s family? Just tell me and I’ll help you take care of everything.”

However, hearing this only made her sob harder.

It turned out that Skylar would always jump to her defense regardless of the situation Naomi was in when they were younger. He did that even though he was not sure if he could beat his opponents in a fight.

So much had changed in the last six years, but it seemed that Skylar never stopped defending her.

“Oh Skylar, it turns out that you loved me the most, but I was a fool. I can’t believe that I was mean to you. I’m so sorry Skylar.”

Naomi apologized while she was completely covered in tears.

Skylar laughed when he heard that, so he said, “Oh, you silly girl. Come on now, there’s no need to apologize to me, I’m your brother, aren’t I? So, how could I really stay mad at you?”

“It’s almost time for one of our family members to give their speech now. Could you join dad for that?” Naomi asked nervously. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

After pondering for a brief moment, Skylar agreed.

However, before Naomi could get too happy about it after the call ended, Mandy questioned her, “What do you think you’re doing? We’re in the middle of a wedding, so how could you tell us to wait for your brother? Are you going to be held responsible for disrupting the wedding?”

“This is my wedding, so why can’t I decide on what to do?” Naomi snapped back at her.

Mandy’s expression dimmed as she said, “You should really know your place here. It’s you who wanted to marry into our family, so we’d obviously have the final say on the wedding. It’s all because of how stubborn you are that caused our family’s bad luck!”

Naomi remained silent for a brief moment before taking a deep breath and saying, “If you don’t want me to wait for Skylar, then you can cancel today’s wedding.”

Brian panicked, so he told Mandy, “Let’s just do what Naomi wants. We’ll wait.”

However, Mandy would never back down to a penniless peasant, so she scoffed, “Cancel the wedding? Great then! We still have a whole bunch of options to pick from without you! How dare a peasant like you tell me what to do?”

Even if Skylar had given Naomi such an expensive necklace, she had decided that he was just pretending to be rich. If no one was present, she would definitely have relented. However, she knew that there were a lot of important people present, so this meant good fortune to her family. Therefore, she could not care less about who Skylar really was.

“Who were you calling a peasant?”

Suddenly, a cold voice could be heard saying that from the outside.

So, everyone turned toward the voice.

All they could see was a well-dressed young man walking into the hall.

That man was none other than Skylar.

“Who are you?” Mandy asked with a frown.

However, Skylar ignored her question and said, “Do you think that my sister is a peasant and isn’t worthy to be married into your family? Do you think that my parents are complete nobodies and have no right to be seated at the VIP table? Do you really think that my entire family are

peasants?”

Skylar kept bombarding her with questions while approaching her. He sounded very furious.

However, the odd thing was just how heavy his footsteps sounded to everyone when he walked

So, the entire room was instantly silenced.

He raised his brows and sized Mandy up before asking her, “So tell me, who do you think I am?”
