Merry was in disdain when she saw Nicole from the corner of her eyes.
"Who is this who thinks she's worthy of walking along my side?" she said.
Vera noticed that it was Nicole.She smiled sweetly at Merry and said, "Don't be mad, Aunt
Merry.Maybe this girl has yet to experience the world, so she wants to go have a look with you."
Upon hearing that, Merry had a proud look on her face.She snorted as if she agreed with Vera's
staternent.She then walked out of the room without acknowledging Nicole.
Vera followed closely behind Merry and stood there obediently.
The two were about the same age and looked like sisters.
However, Nicole did not pay much attention to those two.
Instead, she slowly walked behind them.
Not long after, even the collateral descendants of the Turmann family surpassed her and gave her a
scornful look along the way.
In their opinion, this woman wanted to get in on the throne.She was favored by the head of the house
and the young master.
The Turmann family had always admired those who displayed ability and strength.
To them, Merry and Vera were goddesses.
Nicole had nothing but beauty.So, they did not have respect for her.
But Nicole did not care about their opinions of her.
Her eyes narrowed when she looked at the car parked in front of the Turmann Manor.
‘That car logo...Why does it look so familiar?' she thought.
Elijah, who was leading the group, looked at the car with a hint of fear and seriousness.
Carl also had a solemn expression when he saw the car.
Eber and Simon were nervous, while Merry fiddled with her watch as if it was a waste of time.
However, she did not dare show it.
Everyone in Mecrounia had heard of the JJ Johnston Group.
The head of the group was said to have come from a great background.No one knew his origins, and
no one took him seriously.
But when the JJ Johnston Group was founded, the old family of Mecrounia found that they could not
resist the unfathomable young man.
He quickly gathered resources from almost the whole country per the constitution of Mecrounia and
actively promoted the country's economy.
With such a vast empire, everyone was scared.
People were also jealous of what he had—for example, the Intercontinental Party.
Elijah had received news that the government had a fallout with the JJ Johnston Group.
The Intercontinental Party then sent out to deal with the head of the JJ Johnston Group.
But the young man left calmly and unscathed.
Elijah was a little surprised and uneasy at the same time when the influential figure suddenly showed
interest in his family.
The two forces had an ordinary partnership at best.
The other party has never shown interest in friendship.
Hence, Elijah did not try to initiate it either.
‘But they sent us the evidence the Thorne family has against us"
This made Elijah doubt their intentions.
After all, he was the head of the family.
It was customary for him to overthink.
This was also why Merry did not dare pull a long face in front of the leader of the JJ Johnston Group
despite her prideful manner.She did not dare to go against someone with such great power.
