Chapter 562
Chloe could not care less about this cousin of hers, who did not even know who Sebastian was. She looked coldly in Nicole’s direction and stood in place.
Since Nicole was getting all the attention now, she would not go over and make herself miserable. But when she casually looked around, she spotted someone she never expected to see here.
Mr. Riddle Sr. was clinking glasses with the guests. Since he had just recovered from his illness, he could only drink tea in place of wine, but this did not affect his enjoyment.
Now, he was no longer worried her granddaughter would be bullied as she could now stand on her own feet.
While he was talking to someone from one of the major families in San Joto, he heard an insidious voice that he recognized coming from behind him.
“Hello, Benjamin. Congratulations on your good fortune.”
Damien and Dexter also heard the voice and recognized it at once. They frowned when they saw Christo walk on crutches toward them.
Christo seemed to have aged ten years overnight, looking like a dying man. His eyes were grim and unnerving to look at.
Mr. Riddle Sr. looked surprised at Christo, but he quickly regained his composure. “What are you doing here? We didn’t invite you; please leave.”
Christo looked at Mr. Riddle Sr. and snickered with resentment. “Can’t I come to see my old friend?”
