It turned out that she was the biological child of the Riddle family and the much publicized Nicole whom Sebastian met personally a while ago.
Most people had only heard of her name, and they did not expect her to be so beautiful. She and Jared looked like a perfect pair standing together.
Murphy had seen Nicole at the airport gate, but she was mysterious in her baseball cap, and he could not see her face clearly. He just did not expect that she would look so stunning after dressing up. Murphy was completely enchanted.
Even Castor was surprised by Nicole’s beauty.
‘Damn it, Jared. Why can he have such a beautiful girlfriend?’
His father had told him that Nicole was just a humble child of the Riddle family, and he did not give a second thought to her. Instead, he wished Jared would marry this girl as soon as possible so that it would be impossible for Jared to have another marriage tie with another family. Besides, this would also let the board of directors know Jared was not up to scratch as he had only married a girl from the Riddle family. But now, it seemed that there was more to it than met the eyes.
Because of Nicole’s breathtaking beauty, many dignitaries, including politicians, whom he did not bother to rub shoulders with, thronged around Nicole.
“I have heard about you for a long time, Miss Riddle. What a pleasure to see you in person today.”
“Absolutely. We feel honored to meet you.”
Even Henry was dumbfounded to see all the VIPs gathered around her. So he figured he had to go over and talk to Jared and Nicole. “Jared, is this Miss Riddle from the Riddle family, your fiancée?”
He deliberately mentioned Nicole’s identity that she was from the Riddle family. But everyone seemed to have heard some terrific news.
“Fiancée? Miss Riddle, you’re Jared’s fiancée?”
“Really? Why didn’t I hear about it before?” The questioning guy was a little disappointed.
Neither Nicole nor Jared expected Henry to be so desperate to mention who Nicole was. Nicole calmed down before smiling. “My grandpa and Mr. Johnston Sr. betrothed me to Jared. But it was many years ago, so no outsiders knew about it.”
“You were betrothed to Jared from an early age?”
“You’re a lucky guy, Jared.”
Everyone was stunned, their expression changing upon hearing Nicole’s admission.
They already knew that Nicole had a good relationship with Sebastian, who was about to take office as a governor. Now they even learned that she had been engaged with Jared from the Johnston family. It was a kind of win-win cooperation.
They looked at Jared again. Before he returned home, they thought the Johnston family had given up on him. But Mr. Johnston Sr. handed over the helm of the company’s headquarters to Jared as soon as Jared returned. Before this, the outside world was still questioning his ability and doubting if he had any backing for him to hold on to his position for long.
Now the situation seemed to have changed with Nicole becoming his fiancée, as after Sebastian took office, Jared would have another powerful backing.
It was a perfect match. With the two of them coming together, everyone, including politicians and the wealthy, could no longer underestimate them. They all flocked up to them, just wanting to talk to the two of them more
Henry was pushed aside. He could not help but feel surprised to see Nicole and Jared so well received.
She is another girl from the Riddle family. Why is she so popular? What the hell has happened that he doesn’t already know? Does Nicole have another identity which I don’t know?’
Not only Henry, Castor, and Murphy but also Harvey and Edwin, who were standing not far away, were dumbfounded.
“Harvey, do you know about this relationship between Nicole and Jared?”
