Mr. Riddle Sr. was a little angry. Back then, when the Riddle and the Johnston families were equal
established families, however, the Johnston family’s business focus was overseas, so their reputation
within the country was not even as acclaimed as the Riddle family was.
So, when they talked about this marriage, Mr. Riddle Sr. did not pay much attention to the Johnston
family, so he promised the child from his fourth son to the Johnston family.
However, today, the Johnston family had turned the focus of all of their overseas industries back into
the country, and they had become the wealthiest family in San Joto in a blink of an eye. For Nicole to
have such wealthy in-laws was indeed her fortune. How can he agree to the cancellation?
“Dad, don’t get mad. Jared had such intentions back then, but now… I suppose the two of them have
other plans now?” Daniel looked helplessly at Nicole as he awaited her answer.
Nicole suddenly felt shy as she did not know how to respond and could only nod shyly. This was the
first time Daniel saw his daughter being so bashful and did not say anything else. It was then that Mr.
Riddle Sr. finally calmed down as he said with relief, “Since that’s the case, I won’t blame you any
further. That boy from the Johnston family is brilliant, so you must get along nicely with him, okay?”.
When they heard this, Damien and the rest were stunned.
‘Is Nicole really in a relationship with Jared?’
When Dillon recalled Lyana’s attitude towards Jared, he could not help but sneer.
“Nicole, stop lying. Ms. Rogers had said that she was the one most compatible with Jared. With her
around, you think Mr. Johnston will take a liking to you? Do you take us for fools?” Since Jared had
come asking her to cancel the wedding arrangement, he would definitely not change his mind!
As soon as he said that, Nicole’s eyes immediately turned icy. She looked at Dillon, his face had
nothing but mockery on it, and he did not look like a good person at all.
“Uncle Dillon, please watch your words.” She did not want to argue with him, but he was just disgusting
‘I, Nicole Riddle, is not such a sorry wretch that I’d be the bottom pick!’
As Nicole’s icy gaze landed on him, Dillon could not help but shudder. Yet, how could he admit defeat
before a little girl?
As the thought crossed his mind, he straightened his back even more as he looked at Nicole as if he
was right.
“What do you mean by watch my words? You should be the one watching your words! Ms. Rogers had
already made things very clear, and no matter how I see it, you’re the one being the third wheel. So, if
you know what’s good for you, you should be canceling that engagement!”
When Mr. Rogers Sr. heard that, he could not help but frown. “Did Lyana actually say that?” ;
‘No wonder she would come to cause a ruckus here today. Aside from Mr. Roger Sr.’s matter, there’s
probably also this.’
Dillon immediately cast his gaze toward Damien and Dexter. “Damien, Dexter, I’m not bullshitting. The
two of you have heard that too, right?” Damien hesitated for a moment but still nodded. Dexter, on the
other hand, did not react as he looked somewhat disapprovingly at Dillon. Although no one knew the
relationship between Jared and Lyana, his defense of Nicole before Lyana was clear as day.
Nicole looked at Dillon as she smirked, yet her voice was icy. “So, Uncle Dillon, you’re believing her just
because she’s from the Rogers family?” When Mr. Riddle Sr. heard that, a glint flashed across his
eyes. He had seen his second son’s actions clearly; the latter was targeting Nicole just so he could
please Lyana later on! Thinking of this, Mr. Riddle Sr.’s gaze at Dillon grew extremely cold. ‘For him to
be able to sell out his own family, I wonder how I ended up with a son like this.’ Dillon looked at Nicole
and wanted to avoid her piercing gaze. The boldness in his voice was gone and was replaced with a
trace of guilt. “Why would I? It’s just because I’m your uncle and I’ll need to be responsible for you!
Should Jared Johnston dump you later in the future and turn to be with Ms. Rogers, the one losing face
is not just you, but the entire Riddle family!”
These words pierced straight into Damien’s heart! He then turned toward Nicole with a look of doubt in
his eyes.
