My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1529

Chapter 1529

Jared was surprised to see the Holders coming forward, but he did not show his displeasure openly.

The item that Nachelle had gifted them was actually a classical painting that bore a history of more than a thousand years. As expected, it was a priceless work of art.

Lloyd was appalled by the gesture. 'What's wrong with mom? Why would she give Nicole such an expensive gift?'

Furthermore, if he remembered correctly, that particular painting was his grandfather's favorite.

It was only then that Lloyd realized that something was not right. 'So many members from the Riddle family are here today, and all of them are dressed in the most decadent garments. What's going on?'

Nicole looked at Nachelle, and was about to decline the gift when he took the painting with a smile, as he knew what Nachelle was thinking. "I'll accept this gift on behalf of Nicole. Young people like her don't know howto appreciate works of art like this."

Nicole knew that her grandfather did not wish to offend anybody who was present today. She also understood that the Riddle family would be very powerful if all of them could be on their side in the future.

Thus, she did not stop Mr. Riddle Sr. from doing what he did. Regardless of what would happen after the crest had been decrypted and severed from her name, there was little point in making any enemies. For that reason alone, she allowed Mr. Riddle Sr. to take that painting. Besides, Mr. Riddle Sr. also looked as though he loved that painting very much.

"Thank you, Mrs. Holder and Mr. Lloyd." Nicole said, giving the mother and son duo a slight nod to express her gratitude.

Nachelle's mood immediately improved. 'Even though Nicole is still so young, she's a very polite and courteous lady. She did not allow the power that comes from being the possessor of the Fire Crest to get to her head.'

'Unfortunately, my son is not lucky enough to be with her. If Lloyd had married her, my family would be the one standing here proudly with the Riddles, not the Johnstons!' she thought.

As the night went on, more and more people began to surround them, each bearing gifts which they would then present to Nicole.
