Triumph Above All Chapter 216


    Chapter 216


    Pearl Fuller brought her finger to her lips as soon as her son mentioned Norman. “Shhh. I heard it’s


    more than an average promotion. Your uncle just told me Norman caught the attention of the General,


    so he might be promoted to Adjutant General soon. He’ll be the General’s personal aide and the pride


    of the Fuller family!”Hans’ eyes sparkled with delight. “That means Uncle Spencer is about to expand


    the Fuller’s influence and power once more. Luckily for us, we’re a part of the family.”“Of course! Your


    cousin Norman is the most capable young man in the family. We’re counting on him to bring the family


    to greater heights!” Pearl was in full adoration of Norman Fuller.However, her expression turned glum


    as she thought about her other nephew. “How dare that bastard child Skr unt his dirty money in


    front of us! We must get Norman to investigate the source of his money,” her desire for revenge was


    obvious. “I heard the army has zero tolerance for bribery and misconduct. Well, he can await his


    punishment when he gets caught!”Skr Stone did not catch Pearl’s conversation with her son, but


    even if he did, it would not have mattered to him. There was only one person at the top who had to


    authority to investigate him, and he was not afraid of an investigation because he had done nothing


    wrong. Every dor in his bank ount was legally earned through his own hard work and effort.As


    Skr entered the mansion, he spotted several figures seated in the family living room. Upon a closer


    look, the figure seated on thergest couch was his grandfather and the patriarch of the Fuller family,


    Langston Fuller. Langston Fuller was 84 this year, well into his golden years but he was still active and


    kept a healthy daily routine. On his right sat a few others, including her Aunt Laurel and her daughter


    Ash. Their faces looked glum as they spotted Skr and Naomi entering the house as if the siblings


    had wronged them. Clearly, they were not over how Skr and Naomi had kicked them out of Garden


    No.1. The tension in the air was perceptible to Nathaniel and Winona, but they chose to ignore


    it.“Father! I’m home,” Nathaniel greeted his elderly father jovially.Naomi joined her father in greeting her


    grandfather. “Grandpa, it’s me, Naomi!”Skr Stone merely smiled as he observed the family


    dynamics. He did not mean to be impolite, but Langston Fuller had never treated him as a part of the


    Fuller family since he was young. Naturally, he had no reason to call the man his grandfather.“Father,


    we came home in a rush, so we did not have the time to get you a special gift. I got you a traditional


    health tonic, fermented and bottled in the mountains,” he presented a box wrapped in gift paper to


    Langston. “Please try some when you have the time.”Laurel Fuller interrupted the conversation before


    Langston could even speak.“Nate, you and your family live in such a grand vi. Howe you’re still


    so stingy with your gifts?” she chided her older brother. “Your daughter’s ne itself cost 4 million


    dors, and you turn up here to give father a health tonic?”Ash continued to fan the fire her mother


    started. “I heard that you can buy that tonic online for 200 dors. Uncle Nate, isn’t that just a little


    disrespectful?”Nathaniel’s expression was dark and tentative as if he was about to curse this wretched


    family of his. Winona stepped in to mediate the situation. “Father, we bought this tonic on a trip to the


    mountains not long ago. It’s not like what Ash said,” she exined. “As for the vi and the ne,


    those were Skr’s gifts to us…”
