Chapter 5 See Who'll End Up Dead

In a private room in Moonlight Club. The young master of the Wexler family, Nicholas, wore a glum face as he sat opposite Cornelia Jameson and her eldest son, Charles Sue. Next to them was the eldest young lady of the Sue family, Yvonne Sue. These three were now the most influential figures in the family. "Madam Sue and Mr. Sue, I demand an explanation for what happened today!" Cornelia looked displeased and remained quiet. "That unruly brat! I can't believe she'd agree to marry that penniless Skylar when she knew that her mother and I had made plans to marry her to someone else prior to this!" Charles furiously exclaimed before slamming the table. Although both of them were infuriated, they didn't think too much of this because the Sue family had received an invitation from the Dragon Commander. As long as they had this invitation, they were destined to be a prominent family and wouldn't have to live humbly in front of the Wexleys. Nicholas felt nothing but disdain for them as he observed their very flawed performance. Changing the topic, he asked Charles, "I heard that Yvonne received an invitation for the Dragon Commander's retirement ceremony." "Indeed! I'll be attending the event with her then. Oh, I'm honored to witness the Dragon Commander's grandeur." Charles looked proud when he said that. "The truth is, our family was able to pull some strings to be invited to the event. So, your family won't be the only one to gain a huge boost in reputation then." Nicholas explained with a smug tone. "What? Your family is invited, as well?" Both Charles and Madam Sue gasped in awe as Nicholas nodded. "Oh, my grandson-in-law sure is awesome! Yulia sure is lucky to be able to marry you." Madam Sue sounded excited when she said that. It almost seemed like both our families had already succeeded in achieving glory. Nicholas sniggered as he snarked, "Alas, Yulia ran away with another man, Madam Sue." Since Cornelia was afraid that Nicholas might be offended by this, she immediately said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wexler. I'll call that brat right now. I refuse to believe that she'll go through with it!" She called Yulia as soon as she said that. Suddenly, the door was pushed open again as Yulia entered the room with Skylar and Lola. "How dare you bring this man along to meet Grandma!" Yvonne exclaimed. However, Yulia ignored her completely as she told Madam Sue and Charles, "Hey grandma, uncle, I need to tell you something. Skylar will be Lola's father from this moment on, and I will never marry anyone else ever again." Her statement sounded like a direct insult to Nicholas. "Listen here, Yulia. I will give you one chance to make up for your mistakes. Send this bastard away right now, or I will lash out at you!" Nicholas exclaimed. However, Skylar scoffed and said, "Lash out? How do you plan on doing that, then?" "I happen to have quite an interesting video on my phone, so if Yulia dares to even mingle with another man, I will upload that video online. I will show the entire city just how much of a slut she is!" Nicholas exclaimed with a lustful grin. "A video? Nicholas, you shameless scum! I've never hung out with you in private, so how could you have someone impersonate me in that disgusting video of yours? Yulia exclaimed while clenching her fists. "Oh right, I'm more confident if your daughter is involved! Let me tell you this, Yulia. If you don't sleep with me tonight, I'll make sure every student, parent, and teacher at her preschool knows about the video! They won't be able to tell if the video is fake or not. Besides, they're going to spread rumors about you. When that happens, you and your daughter are going to be judged by everyone. Let's see how you'd like that then!" Nicholas exclaimed with a smug look. It seemed that Yulia was nothing more than a regular prey to him. "You…" Yulia was so furious that she was rendered completely speechless. She understood that she would be able to deal with Nicholas if she was the only target. However, she dared not do anything rash if her daughter was involved. Just as Nicholas was about to grab Yulia, a threatening voice echoed throughout the room. "I'll give you ten seconds to delete the video and scram!" Skylar exclaimed in a menacing voice. Nicholas was stunned for a moment when he was threatened as he said, "Do you know who I am? How dare you snatch my woman!" "I don't care who you are, but if you dare lay a finger on Yulia, I will kill you!" Skylar exclaimed in a cold tone. "You'll kill me? All right then, I am quite interested to see who'll end up dead." Nicholas snapped back at Skylar before rolling up his sleeves to hit Skylar. However, before he could do anything, he was sent flying as he crashed on the couch with a loud thud. A loud crack could be heard from the couch as soon as he landed on it. It seemed that the couch was snapped in half by the impact. It did not take long for the couch to fall apart as Nicholas lay injured in a pile of rubble while coughing out blood. After that, Skylar calmly said, "Ten seconds is up." "You… How dare you…" Nicholas struggled to get up from the rubble. He wanted to snap back at Skylar but was so shaken by what happened that he was rendered speechless. "Don't ruin Yulia's mood. Now, scram!" Skylar yelled. Nicholas trembled when he noticed the cold glint in Skylar's eyes, and he dared not say anything else as he struggled to get up and ran for the exit. "Hold on a second!" Skylar suddenly exclaimed. This startled Nicholas so much that his legs began to tremble. "Didn't you… want me to leave?" "Your phone," Skylar ordered. Nicholas was so shaken up by this that he dared not disobey Skylar as he frantically handed his phone over to Skylar. While towering over Nicholas, Skylar raised his hand and gave the phone a tight squeeze. As soon as he did that, the military-grade phone was immediately crushed to dust. This terrified Nicholas so much that cold sweat was pouring out of him, and he felt as if he was going to wet himself. "Scram!" With a simple wave, Nicholas' face was completely covered in dust. It seemed that he was so terrified that he dared not wipe the dust away before staggering out the door. "You…Well played, Yulia! I can't believe you managed to find someone bold enough to lash out at Nicholas!" When Charles finally regained his senses, he was so furious that he wanted to murder Yulia. "Grandma, our company will be doomed if Nicholas decides to retaliate and go after our family!" Yvonne decided to add fuel to the flames. This infuriated Cornelia as she screamed at Yulia, "Since you obviously don't care about our family's well-being and are adamant in marrying this penniless scum, I want the mansion back and have your family roam the streets!" Madam Sue took out her phone and called Yulia's father, Lincoln, as soon as she said that. "Grandma…" Hearing that made Yulia panic a little. But, this is Nicholas' fault though. He was a shameless scumbag, but I can't believe that my grandma would be this cruel to me just to gain some form of benefit for our family. "You should head back with Lola first. Don't worry. No harm will come to you or your daughter as long as I'm here." So, with Lola in his arms, Skylar grabbed Yulia's hand and walked out of the room. Yulia did not resist his comfort at all. She accepted his comfort because she did not want Lola to witness how cruel people could be at such a young age. She was not confident that Skylar would be able to deal with Nicholas at all. However, as soon as they were about to have dinner, Yulia's stepmother, Betty, called her. "Yulia, you little slut! If anything were to happen to Lincoln, it'd be all your fault!" Hearing this startled Yulia as she asked, "What happened to my dad?" However, Betty was livid when she asked that. She replied, "How dare you ask that question? You have offended Nicholas by being so adamant in marrying that penniless bastard. Madam Sue had called us earlier, and she wanted to cut all ties with us and wanted us to leave the mansion. Your father was so furious when he heard that, it triggered his heart attack! Hurry up and get your butt over to Goodwill Hospital!"
