Triumph Above All Chapter 23
Chapter 23 You’re Back!
The living room was very lively, and no one noticed Skr’s presence.
His adoptive mother, Winona, served Brian some soup and said, “Our little Naomi isn’t good at
housework, Brian.”
“You should be patient with her and clean up the house together once she’s married into the
Stephenson family.”
“Oh, what are you worrying about, Winona? The Stephenson family is wealthy and noble. They have
servants that help out in the family. Naomi would be a nobledy once she’s a part of the Stephenson
family. Why in the world would she have to clean up the house?”
“Not to mention, such a fine youngd like Mr. Stephenson is destined to do great things. Unlike my
brother who’s walking around the kitchen all day” Naomi’s uncle sneered.

“That’s right, Mr. Stephenson came from one of the wealthiest families in Cloudtopia! It truly is a
blessing for our Naomi to be able to marry him!” Naomi’s uncle agreed.
“Yeah, Mr. Stephenson, don’t you forget to count us in if you have any good projects to make a fortune
in the future!”
“Our family is counting on you!”
A group of people held wine sses up high and cheered for Brian.
Brian’s ego was at its peak at that moment, but he still pretended to be humble on the surface. “We’re
all family, you can just call me Brian.”
“The Stephenson family’s fortune is quite smallpared to the entirety of Cloudtoopia. Please don’t
think too highly of me.”
“Oh please, the Stephenson family is powerful. If it wasn’t for you and Naomi, I wouldn’t be that proud
in public.” Naomi’s uncle patted Brian on his shoulders while giving him a toast.
He showed a lot of enthusiasm.
Upon seeing this scene, Nathaniel could not help but feel a little embarrassed.”
He remembered that he had matched Skr and Naomi six years ago. And before Skr was enlisted
in the army, he made a verbal engagement for both of them.
It was only after Skr disappeared for five consecutive years that he gave up on the engagement.
Now that Skr was back, he did not know how Skr felt after seeing Brian as Naomi’s fiance.
Nathaniel was feelingplicated, but Skr did not care at all. Instead, he shouted excitedly to his
adoptive mother Winona.
“Mom, I’m back!”
Ta-da!
Everyone at the dinner table followed the direction sound.
“Skr!”
Winona stood up excitedly.
She did not expect that Skr woulde back all of a sudden when she had given up hope.
On the other hand, Naomi looked a little odd.
She remembered that when she met Skr at the entrance in the afternoon, Skr did not care when
he found out that she had a fiance. It made her feel ufortable.
At this moment, her arrogance instigated her to approach Brian, as if she waspeting with Skr in
secret.
She convinced herself that Brian was humble, courteous, and wealthy.
As for Skr, he was just an ordinary person who had been in the military for six years before changing
his career. However, he was more handsome than Brian.
However, you can’t rely on looks to survive!
Any woman would choose Brian without hesitation!
Naomi was trying to convince herself to choose Brian in her heart, she did not notice that Brian’s face
changed drastically when he saw Skr.
“Woah it’s Skr! How did you find us here?” Naomi’s aunt said sarcastically.
“Don’t tell me he wants to intervene with their rtionship when Naomi’s about to get married.” Naomi’s
uncle said nervously.
“Tch. If he wanted to intervene, he has to have power first. How could a puny little soldierpete with
the Stephenson family in Cloudtopia?”
“Besides, Naomi is now Mr. Stephenson’s fiancee, she’s no longer the ignorant little girl from six years
ago!” Several other rtives said deliberately.
However, On the other hand, Brian who was sitting on the other side was trembling in fear. He also
broke into a cold sweat, wanting to smash the heads of these people.
The people told Skr that he would not be able to live in Cloudtopia as long as the Stephenson family
said so.
How could they say such a thing? Do they want to bring the Stephenson family misfortune?
Brian shuddered as he thought of the conversation he had between the beauty in military uniform and
the warning he got before leaving.
Brian did not dare to be pretentious anymore. He stood up all of a sudden and bowed to Skr and
said, “Mr. Stone… you’re back!”
Woosh!
The once lively living room was now pin-drop silent.
Everyone’s mouths were wide open, and they looked at Brian in disbelief.
The wealthy young man with plenty of assets was so respectful to Skr, who had just returned from
the army. He does not even have a job yet and he’s addressing Skr as Mr. Stone.
The address “Mr.” might not be too shocking when it was addressed by ordinary people, however,
when it came out from the mouth of the Stephenson family, it showed that they had a higher status.
No wonder the rtives of the Fuller family were shocked. Nathaniel and Winona were stunned as well.
Even Naomi, who was fighting over who to pick between Brian and Skr silently, could not ept the
scene in front of him.
She fiddled her hands and grit her teeth.
Her thoughts about Brian were shattered once she saw Brian bowing down to Skr.
She never thought that Brian, who had been admired by the Fuller family’s rtives, would show that
much respect to Skr.
