Everyone else complained about Nicole.
“Nicole is qualified to say that. After all, she is the victim. I think this matter is at Nicole‘s disposal.” Mr. Riddle Sr. let Nicole decide Chloe‘s fate.
“Dad, how can you let a junior–“.
Mr. Riddle Sr. glared at Damien, and he immediately shut up. When the others at the table saw Damien was afraid to speak up, they did not dare to intercede on Chloe‘s behalf. They looked at Nicole to see what she would do to Chloe.
Nicole swept her eyes across the faces of everyone , and they all looked at her, feeling angry but afraid to speak out. She then took a box out of her pocket, opened it, and placed it in front of Mr. Riddle Sr. A brilliant Dresden Green Diamond was reflected in his pupils, and everyone present froze in their seats.
“Isn’t it at Chloe‘s place? How did it end up with you?” Karen could not believe her eyes.
“Yeah, Nicole, what‘s going on?” Everyone was completely baffled.
“I prepared things in advance in case Chloe destroyed the evidence in desperation.”
“Grandpa, this is the real Dresden Green Diamond,” Nicole said as she looked over at Mr. Riddle Sr.Mr. Riddle Sr. picked up the diamond and examined it.
” Nice, nice texture.”
Chloe looked on and could not believe it, as if she was dreaming.
“This isn‘t real. Nicole couldn’t have gotten the diamond.” She thought she had hidden it securely, and no one else in the world would find it but her. She had tried to blackmail Nicole with the diamond , but that no longer seemed possible.
“Chloe, you overestimated yourself. When you targeted me previously, I could ignore it for Grandpa‘s sake, but not this time. You are targeting Grandpa now, and I can‘t look the other way any longer.” Nicole‘s eyes were penetrating as if they could see through Chloe‘s chest.
“As of today, Chloe may not come to Grandpa‘s house, and her heritable right be taken away,” Nicole announced in a warmthless voice.
“How can this be? Dad, you can’t just watch Nicole do whatever she wants.” Miley spoke up and pleaded on Chloe‘s behalf. To agree to Nicole‘s announcement would be tantamount to removing Chloe from the Riddle family and would be a death knell to Chloe‘s future in the family.
“Yeah, Dad. That‘s too heavy a punishment, isn‘t it?” Others also spoke up for Chloe.
“Just do what Nicole says.” Mr. Riddle Sr. was utterly disappointed in Chloe.
“Mr. Wallace Sr., I‘m so sorry for what is happening today. I will pay a visit some other time.” Mr. Riddle Sr. made amends to Mrs. Wallace Sr. and then simply got up and left the dinner.
Seeing that Mr. Riddle Sr. was gone, Nicole looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr. “Grandma, let‘s go home too.”
Then, without giving the others a second glance, she drove Mrs. Wallace Sr. out of her grandfather‘s house, leaving the others looking at each other all at sea.
The following day, Nicole arrived at the airport. Harvey had been waiting for her, and when he saw her, he got up and greeted her. “I knew you‘d be here.”
“How long until boarding?” Nicole had received a call from Sean saying that he could not come because he had something on. He had decided Nicole was the best person for the job, which was why she had come to the airport.
“Half an hour to go. What would you like to drink?” Harvey asked.
“Nothing. You just have to keep quiet from now on.” Nicole sat down and plugged in her headphones, and read a book.
Harvey saw Nicole‘s response and was dumbfounded. He had no choice but to sit next to her, quietly looking at his phone, his eyes glancing over at Nicole every now and then.
Soon the board call sounded. Harvey waved his hand in front of Nicole‘s eyes.
“Time to board.”
