"Not afraid? I'll see if you're scared." Nicole reached out and pinched Jared around the waist. There was a sudden knock on the door.
Jared immediately put away his smile and sorted his attire before saying, “Come in.”
“Mr.Johnston, everyone is here."
"Okay, you go first."
"I have a meeting to attend.” Jared looks reluctant to go.
“You get busy.I should go home too." https://novelebook.com/home1Nicole stood up and walked out of the office with Jared.
Back at the Riddle Mansion, she found there was a hive of activity there.
While wondering why she walked straight inside.Damien, Dillon, and Dexter were all in the house.
"Daniel, we are here to congratulate you on behalf of Father for your successful bid,” Damien said.
“Thank you.Our success has kind of made the entire Riddle family proud,” Daniel said modestly.
"Daniel, I suppose it wasn't easy to win the tender bid, right?” Dexter asked.
“It’s really difficult.There were many powerful companies bidding for it, and some rivals were trying to undermine us,” Daniel said with a long sigh.
"The good thing was that Sean and Nicole had risen to the challenge and still studied the tender seriously.Together with Harvey's help, we won the tender at last." Daniel was proud of it.
“Daniel, that’s just a one-sided view.The success of your bid this time is mostly because of Damien.If it wasn't for him, Harvey would not have joined hands with you guys.He could have bid himself,” Karen said disapprovingly.
Daniel glanced at Karen awkwardly.
Knowing her character and that everyone was here today to congratulate them, he did not want to refute her in front of everyone.So he could only smile and remain silent.
Sean heard what Karen said and was upset.He got up and went to the dining room, where he saw Nicole sit, and he asked, “When did you come back?”
“It’s been a while.What are these people doing here?” Nicole asked.
"They say they're here to congratulate us, but their every word reeks of jealousy.” Sean glanced at the three families in the hall, and Nicole shook her head.
Meanwhile, Damien was self-satisfied after hearing what Karen said.
Suddenly, the landline phone rang, and Damien, who was closest to the phone, picked it up.
“Hello? This is the Riddle family.Who is this?” Damien asked bluntly.
“Hi, this is Scott Harmon.May I speak to Nicole?" Scott only had the phone number of the Riddle family, not Nicole’s mobile phone number, so he called the house phone.
Hearing the name, Damien immediately sat up upright with a serious face.
“A moment, please, Mr.Harmon.I will ask Nicole over right away.”
“Nicole, Mr.Harmon calls you on the phone." Gloria had seen Nicole in the dining room just now,but she knew Nicole did not like her uncles, so she had not asked her to come over.
Now, since Mr.Harmon was calling, she had to ask her to come over and answer it.Nicole heard Gloria’s voice and went over.
“What’s up, Mom?”
“Mr.Harmon is on the phone." Gloria pointed with her finger.
Damien was curious about what Mr.Harmon would say to Nicole, so when he handed the phone to Nicole, he turned on the speakerphone .
Everyone was stunned to see this.
“Hello, Mr.Harmon.I'm Nicole," Nicole said in a tone of voice that sounded as if they were peers.
“Nicole, it’s Scott.My father is out of the hospital and would like to invite you and your family over.I don't know if you have time?" Scott asked politely.
"I'm glad to hear that your father has recovered and is out of the hospital.It was just part of my job, nothing big deal," Nicole said, politely declining.
