The exchange between Nicole and Mr.Riddle Sr.confused everyone.
‘What did the old man mean by that?' 'What did he mean by handing the Riddle family to Nicole.."
Nicole's response was even stranger, claiming that she would protect everyone in the Riddle family.
‘What ability does she have to protect the Riddle family?"
Moreover, even if the Riddle family were no longer as powerful as before, they were still a prestigious old family of San Joto. So who would do them harm? Yet no one dared to ask Mr.Riddle Sr.those questions.
They could only wait until after Mr.Riddle Sr. had closed his eyes to rest.
So they had gone downstairs before they questioned Nicole.
Dillon was the first to lose his composure.
He had been pondering Mr.Riddle Sr"s words, seriously suspecting that the older man had handed Nicole something very important.
Just as he entered the hall, he turned around to question Nicole without taking a seat.
"What did your Grandpa mean by that? Why is he leaving the Riddle family to you? Did you take something from him that you shouldn't?"
The older man had never disclosed how he would divide the family's properties.
Now that Daniel had Nicole and five other sons behind him, the older man favored him more and more while he was favored less and less.
So now he suspected Nicole had swindled most of the property for herself! Nicole could tell what Dillon was thinking just by looking at him and sniggered, "What the Riddle family has isn't worth me eyeing them.I will eye the Johnston's if I want to eye something."
As she said that, Nicole sat beside Jared with a haughty air.
Jared looked at Nicole's relaxed face and was not even angry.
Instead, he felt very amused by what she had just said.
When Chloe heard that, she immediately turned to Jared.
"Mister Jared, you heard that? Someone here's getting close to you just for your wealth."
Jared did not even look at Chloe as he put down his coffee and hugged Nicole.
"She doesn't have to eye my wealth.Even I'm hers.What she wants, I shall give."
When such cheesy words came out of his mouth before everyone, Nicole suddenly had goosebumps.
Chloe, Snow, and Raine cast a jealous look over Nicole.
All of these should have been Chloe's, but it was taken away by this stray mutt from nowhere! Spencer could not help but snigger as he looked at Dillon.
"Did you all hear that? With my brother-in-law here, why would my baby sister even care about what little we have? Uncle Dillon, stop projecting yourself onto her."
Karen was displeased seeing her husband being dissed.
"Daniel, what sort of upbringing is this? Trying to lecture your elders?"
When Nicole heard Karen scolding Daniel, she said icily, "You should be looking at yourself in the mirror.You said nothing when Snow and Raine were causing a ruckus in Grandpa's room.Now you presume to lecture another family on upbringing?"
"You!"
Karen's face was flushed red in anger.
Snow and Raine wanted to say something, but Damien, seeing the chaos in the house, stood up.
"Silence, all of you.Let's get back to business.We just want to know why Dad would say that to Nicole."
Nicole could see that Damien was worried about the inheritance and so glanced at Jared, using him as an excuse.
"What else? The Riddle family will be relying on the patronage of the Johnston family from now on.If not me, who else should Grandpa say that to?"
Jared did not mind being used by Nicole as a shield.
On the contrary, he felt good that this young woman relied on him instead.novelebookBut what Nicole said turned everyone else's expression sour.
All of the men in the family could not be relied upon to make the Riddle family flourish.
Only through Nicole being together with Jared the family started to prosper.
Be it Chloe, Snow, or Raine, neither of them was able to get involved with any top figures.
Instead, all of them looked like they had their tongues tied as words failed them.
