Chapter 1550
As soon as Nicole had responded, Mr. Guzman Sr. deepened his voice and said in a serious tone, "I heard that the Riddle family had a banquet yesterday, and it was announced in front of everyone present that you are the successor of the Fire Crest.'
Hearing this, Karlo was taken aback.
"Dad, what are you talking about? What Fire Crest?" he asked.
Mr. Guzman Sr. turned to Karlo and said, "It's the Reby Family Crest written in the preface of our family’s records. The Fire Crest is one of crests."
Karlo was appalled. To a man as pragmatic and serious as he was, those things sounded like nothing but fairytales.
'Who would've thought that this little brat here is going to be the successor of the Fire Crest?' he wondered.
"Yes." Nicole uttered, neither humble nor proud of it.
However, Zeke then began to panic. 'If grandpa and dad find out that I was involved, they would want to kill me, wouldn't they?'
Up until that moment, Zeke had not told them the truth. 'So, grandpa and dad had asked me to bring Nicole over so that they could question her about something?'
Surely enough, Mr. Guzman Sr. could already tell that Zeke was feeling guilty about something, and so, he questioned his grandson at once. "Zeke, are you still trying to hide it? Did those assassins come after you because of the Fire Crest?'
Zeke was so caught off guard that his legs began to feel wobbly and weak.' This is it. Grandpa really knew everything!'
Zeke's face instantly blanched and he was rendered speechless for a moment.
