Triumph Above All Chapter 213
Chapter 213
As county was a county within Cloudtopia, but it was the county farthest away from the city. As
was home to thergest crystal industry in the country, cementing the county as one of Cloudtopia’s
wealthiest and making it the most advanced out of the four counties of Cloudtopia.The Fullers were a
well-known family in As, with many branches and offshoots. They were one of the four main families
who exercised considerable influence on matters of the county. Apart from Nathaniel Fuller and Laurel
Fuller who worked and lived in the city, most of the Fullers remained in As and worked for the
family’s crystal business. In recent times, their business had even expanded to the neighbouring
counties of Maersk and Troitz.Many of the Fuller siblings did not do well academically back in school.
They concentrated their efforts on building a crystal empire at home and eventually outshone their
intellectual rtives. As the business grew, so did their bank ounts and their pride. Over time, they
began to look down upon Nathaniel and Laurel.As a result of this discord, the Fuller siblings rarely got
together apart from annual family gatherings. Nathaniel figured it was better to steer clear of his
siblings to avoid any unnecessary family drama. Even when Naomi got married, he did not invite his
siblings from As to the wedding, and neither did they bother to send their regards.The GPS
navigation system led them to the Fuller’s ancestral home. It was arge colonial-style mansion, clearly
dated in age but still stood out majestically for its sheer size and opulence. Nathaniel’s father, Langston
Fuller, had built and lived in this home for as long as he could remember.The Fullers got to the front
gate of the mansion, but before they could ring the doorbell, the family overheard an audible
conversationing from the other side of the gate.“Oh, Nate and his family just arrived?” a voice
asked. “I didn’t know there were buses that came around at this time,” the voice had a snarky tone.
Skr and his family looked around, trying to trace the owner of the voice. At this moment, the main
doors opened and a middle-aged woman with a fresh perm walked out. Thedy was none other than
Pearl Fuller, Nathaniel’s fifth sister and Skr and Naomi’s aunt. She was nked by two servants as
she made her way toward the Fullers at the gate.“There’s a bus from the city to As every 10 minutes,
Pearl,” Nathaniel indirectly informed Pearl that his family had overheard her conversation, his
displeasure with his sister clearly written on his face.Hearing this, Pearl automatically assumed her
brother’s family had indeed taken the bus over. She cast a cold nce at them before speaking.
“Brother, your shrewdness is humiliating! I know you can’t afford a luxury car, but surely you’d be able
to purchase a cheap sedan? We could always help you buy a secondhand car,” Pearl offered.There
was a snide sense of elitism in Pearl’s speech. An outsider observing Pearl’s behaviour might have
assumed that Pearl was the matriarch of the family. In truth, Pearl did not wield much more influence
within the family than Nathaniel or Laurel did. Nathaniel’s second and third brothers were the ones who
called the shots. However, Pearl enjoyed picking petty fights with her brother and sister simply because
she could.Upon hearing his sister’s offer to buy them a second-hand car, Nathaniel’s expression
switched to one of pride and excitement. “Thank you for your concern, Pearl, but we don’t need it. My
son here bought us a new car just to bring us back to As.”Nathaniel was usually an easy-going man
by nature, but everyone had their breaking point. He did not deserve such disrespect from his own
family. After all, he was the oldest of the Fuller siblings and he had done so much for this family once
upon a time. Now, this bunch of ingrates turned their backs on him and mocked him and his family
behind his back. The familial bond had been broken and destroyed a long time ago.
