Mr. Johnston Sr. looked at Mr. Riddle Sr, and could not help but smile. “I feel better now, tougher than
before.”
“Good to hear.” Mr. Riddle Sr. smiled gently.
Mr. Johnston Sr. watched Mr. Riddle Sr. come with his sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren and
was extremely hospitable. “Come in. Please be seated.”
While speaking, he led Mr. Riddle Sr. to the sofa area, which was his exclusive lounge and where no
others would come to disturb. This showed how much Mr. Johnston Sr. attached great importance to
the Riddle family.
Raine, Chloe, Karen, and Dillon had never received such attention before. They walked over with their
chins held high. Meanwhile, Daniel, Gloria, and their sons were much humbler, and their five hand
some sons caused a lot of discussion among the ladies. Damien and Gloria sat down with Everett first,
followed by Dexter and Emma, who followed Emery and Alex, filling the VIP seats.
Not a single person did not envy the Riddle family. Everyone else consciously stayed away from that
area, not daring to disturb them.
When Nicole saw her grandfather arrive, she brought Chloe with her and went over.
“Grandpa, here you are.”
Miley immediately introduced her daughter to Mr. Johnston Sr. “This is my eldest daughter, Chloe. She
recently won the best actress award.”
Mr. Johnston Sr.just glanced at her once as if he did not think there was anything remarkable about the
award.
Mr. Riddle Sr. frowned. “Go and sit down somewhere else. You don’t have to be here. I’m going to talk
to Mr. Johnston Sr. alone.”
They were unmindful and tried to impress Mr. Johnston Sr. at the wrong time. Miley was embarrassed,
feeling as if she had been slapped in the face.
Chloe did not expect that Mr. Riddle Sr. did not even mention but subbed her. But when she looked up
and saw Nicole, she sneered in her mind, thinking of taking Nicole away with her. She glared at Nicole.”
Let’s go. What are you still standing here?”
“Okay.” Nicole nodded in agreement since the two elders wanted to speak in private. She did not want
to stay here and be noticed, anyway.
But just as Nicole was about to leave with the others, Mr. Riddle Sr. stopped her. “You stay with me.”
This instantly made others jealous. Even Damien was not qualified to stay here, yet Nicole could.
Chloe’s eyes were green with envy, and so were Snow and Raine. They could do nothing but watch
Nicole stay while they were forced to leave the VIP zone and follow their parents to hang around with
others.
Now, everyone knew Nicole’s position in the Riddle family; she was in her heyday. Not only that, but
she had also gained favor with Mr. Johnston Sr., who agreed to let her sit at the same table with him.
Everyone thought what an honor it was.
Jared looked at it from a distance and let out a jovial smile.
The other Riddle family members left the lounge. But as soon as they came into the crowd, people
immediately came up, trying to rub shoulders with them. So they soon forgot the frustration just now.
Nicole stayed in the VIP zone with the two elders and received an envious look from others.
When Lloyd came in, he saw this and overheard many ladies talking about him, but he only had Nicole
in his eyes, Nicole was sitting with Mr. Johnston Sr., and he was not qualified to go near her. All he
could do was stare at her affectionately from afar.
Seeing that her son was so lovestruck yet unable to get close to Nicole, Nachelle became anxious for
him
“Lloyd, why have you been sitting here like this since you came in?” There were few opportunities to
talk to Nicole this way. He should instead find a way to approach her.
