However, Eric quickly changed his mind when he saw the Riddle family's reaction.
‘’They all look more stunned than me.It's probably because none of them expected Nicole to say such
a shameless thing" he thought.
As expected, Dillon roared with laughter.He was about to tear up from laughing too hard.He slapped
the table while saying, "Nicole is so full of herself.She must think that she's a big shot, huh? Is
Mr.Wyance someone she can meet just because she wants to? I've booked so many appointments to
meet him, yet all of them got rejected.Who is Nicole to meet Mr.Wyance?"
‘Moreover, how dare she call Mr.Wyance by his name? ‘he thought.
Damien gazed at Daniel's clueless face with suspicion.He thought of Mr.Rogers Sr"s attitude and Lyana
Rogers's contempt toward Nicole.
‘There must be something going on between Nicole and Mr.Rogers Sr.; she's using him to meet
Mr.Wyance" he thought with a disdainful look.
‘Nicole is so stubborn.Is it that hard agreeing to meet Mr.Wyance? Why does she need to do so much
for the sake of her ego? Who knows if she and Mr.Rogers Sr.have some kind of unspeakable
relationship?' he thought again.
Damien pushed his gold-framed glasses.He looked at Daniel and smiled sarcastically.
‘Daniel and his daughter are so sly.They are smart enough to get close to the most influential people in
a , family" he thought to himself once more.
Meanwhile, Miley looked unbothered.She remained in her seat and wiped her mouth.
However, a hint of disdain flashed across her downcast eyes.
It was not that she looked down on Nicole; she merely felt like Nicole was being too boastful.
Mr.Wyance was practically the most influential person in San Joto; he was on the same level as
aristocrats.
After all, he was the relative of San Joto's chief executive.
This, to a certain extent, gave him the power to wipe out certain families.
For instance, if the Riddle family loses the bidding this time around, they would end up with no
successors.
It would be difficult for them to withdraw resources that they had put forward.
Their status would naturally decline along with their shrinking capital.
In the end, even their long-standing family name would perish! How could Mr.Wyance, someone who
could decide on their family's fate, know a nobody like Nicole? Even Mr.Riddle Sr.shook his head.
He looked a little tired, so Daniel helped him to his room to get some rest.
Eric trembled in anger when he saw his plan failing.He ignored Chloe's feigned attempt at consoling
him.
Instead, he dashed out the door with all his might.
"Don't be ungrateful when I'm giving you an opportunity.Let's go!"
Nicole did not budge and looked at him coldly.
Not a hint of emotion could be seen on her face.
Samuel slapped Eric's hand away before Nicole could d o anything.
He said to him angrily, ''What're you doing?"
‘‘This guy has grubby hands.Touching him makes me feel sick; after this, I'll have to wash my hands
repeatedly to feel clean again.I can't believe he actually tried to grab Nicole with his nasty hands just
now!' Samuel thought while looking at Eric with disgust.
Spencer understood how he felt.He walked over and stood beside Samuel, blocking Nicole from Eric.
Spencer watched as Eric panted after running a short distance.He sneered at him and said,
"Mr.Anderson, you seem like you need some physical training.Otherwise, how will you run up to
Mr.Wyance and slander the Riddle family's name?"
He also heard Eric's threats just now.However, he did not take him seriously at all.
