Triumph Above All Novel

Chapter 44

With that thought in mind, Skylar grabbed his phone and called Yulia back.

However, Yulia refused to pick up the call.

It seemed that she must be really angry to not even give him the chance to explain.

So, Skylar chuckled bitterly and shook his head before heading out his door with his car keys.

Skylar showed up at Yulia’s home after half an hour.

“Who is it?” Yulia asked cautiously.

“It’s me, Skylar.”

Yulia was relieved to find out it was Skylar, but she coldly questioned him, “Aren’t you supposed to be busy? What are you doing here then?”

However, before Skylar could explain, Lola yelled, “You’re a bad person, daddy! You married another lady and you don’t want mommy and I anymore!”

Skylar was speechless when he heard that, so he frantically explained, “You misunderstood me, Lola. Look, the lady in the video is my sister, Naomi… Please open the door, Yulia, I promise that I can explain everything clearly.”

“No way! You’d lie to mommy and I again if we did! My friend told me that his father brought home another sister someday and their parents divorced soon after… wuuu… I don’t want you to divorce mommy!”

Lola frantically shook her head as she sobbed.

It hurt Yulia to see her like this as she did not expect such a young child would know all of this. It seemed the video had affected Lola more than she expected. This only made her hate Skylar

even more.

Skylar was completely stunned when he heard what Lola said.

He pondered for a moment and understood that they were still mad at him, so he said, “Lola, I promise that I won’t end up like your friend’s father. Since you don’t want to see me now, I’ll come back tomorrow then.”

After Skylar left, a familiar silhouette could be seen from the dimly lit stairwell. It was none other than Nicholas.

Nicholas was delighted to see how Skylar was refused into Yulia’s apartment.

In all honesty, Nicholas was the main reason why Yulia was able to see the video. He was the one who sent it to him. Moreover, things turned out to be just as Skylar expected as Nicholas edited the video so much that it caused Skylar and her daughter to misunderstand him.

Since tomorrow would be Yulia’s birthday, Nicholas felt confident in charming Yulia after this

debacle.

He was incredibly confident in himself at the moment.

That was because Yulia had nearly agreed to marry him from her family’s pressure before Skylar had even appeared in her life.

Exploiting her weakness would be the easiest way for him to win her over.

After Skylar returned home, he sat on the couch and thought about something for a good long while before telling Dianne, “I need you to do two things for me before dinner tomorrow.”

He explained his plans to Dianne after that.

Since Dianne was used to accepting orders, she lowered her head in obedience. However, when she looked, a peculiar glint flashed across her eyes.

However, Skylar ignored what she thought and returned to his room.

The following day was a work day, so Yulia had to work and Lola had to go to school.

So, Skylar waited until evening before heading out to Kareem Fashions.

Although Yulia was the president of the company, Madam Sue made Yvonne the chairperson after knowing that she had gotten close to Harry.

This meant that Yvonne was the most powerful person in the company. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Although Yvonne and Yulia had a year difference in age, their birthdays fell on the same day.

So, this day was not only Yulia’s birthday, it was also Yvonne’s. Although they were from the same family, their birthday celebrations were significantly different.

Yvonne would always be the star on that day every year. However, not only was Yulia ignored, she had to take Yvonne’s abuse.

Yulia was already used to such a treatment, so as soon as her work day was over, she got ready to pick up her daughter.

However, as soon as she reached the lobby, she ran into a scantily dressed woman and she turned out to be Yvonne…
