My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1521

Chapter 1521

Karen was shocked. "How is that possible? That silly woman has just been back for a few days? She did not even receive this many gifts when she got engaged to Jared. Why are so many people sending stuff over to her when it's just a dinner organized by the family?" "Who am I supposed to ask these questions to!?" Dillon fumed, annoyed by Karen's endless barrage of queries.

"Who to ask? Ask Damien about it! I'm sure he knows more about it than us!" Karen urged.

Hearing this, Dillon had no choice but to look for Damien and ask him about it.

Unfortunately, Damien was only tasked to welcome the guests at the entrance. He knew nothing about the situation either. Initially, he was happy to see all of those lavish gifts, but upon finding out who the receiver was, he became frightened.

Usually, whenever there were guests at their house, most of the gifts would be addressed to Mr. Riddle Sr. whereas the rest would be his. During this particular night, however, things were particularly strange.

Most of the gifts were for Nicole while the rest were for Mr. Riddle Sr., with no mentions of his name at all.

Furthermore, there were quite a number of powerful families from the other cities present as well. Dillon did not know them personally, but they were so well-known that Dillon could not summon the guts to approach them. All of the gifts they had presented consisted of precious and rare items. The prices were also astronomical.

"What is going on, honey?" Miley asked, her fading smile growing stiffer by the second.

Miley was brimming with jealousy as soon as she saw the exuberant gifts addressed to Nicole. 'Are these people stupid? They came all the way here to deliver gifts to Nicole? How is she deserving of all these, unless she has been riding on Jared's coattail to make herself known to the people in his circle? Or did something eventful happen to the Johnston family, and because of that, it gave us so much attention?' "I'm not sure either, but I'm guessing it has something to do with what dad had said to Nicole," 'Dad was whispering to Nicole the other day. Everyone's standing in the family might shift soon!'

Miley noticed that Dillon's expression was getting darker.

At that moment, Dillon came over and asked, "What about dad? He had not explained anything to us, and yet he expects us to entertain the guests. A lot of people are asking me about Nicole, and I don't know what to say!"

Deep down, he had nothing but disdain for Nicole, but whenever someone would ask him about her, he would heap praises upon her name as though his lips were coated with honey.

"I'm not sure. Dad just asked us to wait for more guests to arrive. The dinner will begin in an hour," Miley said.
