Though Chloe was upset, she figured that there was truth in what Everett had said, and so, she just rolled with the punches.
As time passed, most of the families had already arrived, with the banquet being about to start when the Holder family suddenly arrived. Nachelle, who had turned up with the movie star, Lloyd, began to garner quite a lot of attention.
"Oh my God, Lloyd is here!”
"It's the A-lister, Lloyd Holder!"
Chloe immediately looked over when she heard the commotion.
She was nothing but a lackey in the entertainment industry because of what Nachelle and Lloyd had done. When Mr. Riddle Sr. kicked her out years ago, the Riddle family had no time to take care of her, so she could only live her sad life abroad.
She was gritting her teeth as soon as she remembered how they had stood against her.
Still, her parents had tried their best to hash a plan that would allow her comeback. She knew that there were many rich people around today, and as her grandfather was too busy to deal with her, she wanted to go around and build connections on her own.
Hence, she was shocked that she would meet the Holder family today. Though she was upset, she could only hide behind other people.
The Holder family had also been around for a long time, but they had been keeping a low profile of their lives. No one knew what the family was doing, but everyone from the family lived lavishly. When Lloyd
became a celebrity, their family established a media company just to manage him, and that was when the public became even more aware of the Holder family.
But some of them guessed that the Holder family was a family filled with complexities. Otherwise, they would not be San Joto's top ten families, even at a time when they were living humbly. It was just that no one knew what business the Holder family was running in order to keep them going.
As for Lloyd, he had been looking for someone ever since he arrived, but to no avail.
Ever since he found out that Nicole was the girl for him, he had been looking for a chance to meet her, but as usual, she was always with Jared. He had invited her out privately too, but her brothers would always be in the way. He felt that most of his messages would be stopped before they could even reach her.
Upon seeing that Lloyd was crestfallen, she arranged for him to act in a movie abroad, as he could not find a female lead whom he was happy with. However, the moment Lloyd had returned, Nicole got engaged to Jared. As such, the Holder family had decided to keep the news from Lloyd, ever since, for they were worried that he might get hurt.
Still, he could not find Nicole no matter what he did after his return. Therefore, the instant he heard that Nicole was back, he planned to pay her a visit. However, his grandfather had gotten him to join the Riddle family’s banquet before he could even ask.
He did not know what was happening, but he agreed to it anyway, as he just wanted to meet Nicole.
Though he could not find her, he was in luck, for it was then that he saw Samuel and Spencer.
"Hello, where’s...Nicole?” he asked.
The people in the crowd who were not aware were confused when they heard that Lloyd was there to see Nicole. But the ones who knew did not find it surprising. After all, 80% - 90% of the people there had actually come to see Nicole.
When Samuel and Spencer saw him, their expression turned cold. ‘Why is it that this guy has a knack for pestering Nicole whenever he sees her? He even tried multiple ways to meet her, even after Sean and Steve stopped him and said that Nicole didn't want to be in contact with him.’
For this reason, Samuel and Spencer wanted to avoid him as well. But as they had to welcome all of the guests that day, it was impossible for them to kick him out.
Spencer said flatly, "Take a seat there. Nicole will come out when the banquet starts."
If this had happened in the past, Nachelle would never allow Spencer and Samuel to talk to her son like that, but with Nicole's new identity in place, the Riddle family had become a powerful family.
Therefore, she could only tolerate the scorn and pat Lloyd in the shoulder. "Let's head inside."
