My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1551

Chapter 1551

Mr. Guzman Sr. was taken aback by Zeke's reaction. "How dare you talk back to me? Even if she is an outstanding practitioner in the field of medicine, and a capable hacker who could procure the Fire Crest, think about the Riddle family. They're just a third-grade family! Even your men wouldn't look up to her! Can the Riddle family deal with that?"

Strangely, Nicole began to feel warm, knowing that Mr. Guzman Sr. was also concerned about her.

Although Mr. Guzman Sr. appeared to be arrogant, he was not a bad person at all.

At that moment, Karlo, who had been silent thus far, chimed in, in a deep tone of voice, "Don't worry about it, dad. Nicole is Mr. Johnston Sr.'s rightful granddaughter-in-law. She and Jared are already engaged."

Mr. Guzman Sr. narrowed his eyes.

He had been out of touch with the outside world for a few years. Thus, he did not know that Nicole was Jared's fiancee.

However, Mr. Guzman Sr. still took a deep breath and said, "Even with the Johnston family’s protection, the people out there will still look down upon you. For them to betray the Riddle family or the Johnston family will not be a difficult decision!"

In response, Zeke immediately argued, "That was why I gave the Fire Crest to Nicole. Now, all the families would gather around to protect her. Isn't that enough?"

Hearing that placed Mr. Guzman Sr. on the verge of fainting. "You ignorant brat! How dare you put forth such a senseless argument? Do you know that if the Fire Crest is in our possession, it would make our family even more powerful!? Now, it has fallen into the hands of another, and you still have the nerve to spew that kind of hogwash?"

As he was speaking, Mr. Guzman Sr. grabbed his stick and lurched forward, attempting to hit Zeke.

But before the stick landed on Zeke, Nicole grabbed and firmed her grip on it.

"You!" Mr. Guzman Sr. exerted some force to retrieve his stick, but to no avail.

Mr. Guzman Sr. was taken aback. When he was younger, he participated in martial arts too. If his stick landed as he intended, Zeke would not be able to defend against it. Yet, Nicole had managed to grab it.

'It seems that this girl has quite some skills,' he observed.
