Chapter 563 After years of burgeoning, Christo thought he could still put the Riddle family in its place even if he was not as powerful as before.
Sebastian watched in silence and understood what was really going on. He looked at Christo, who still did not see him but talked to himself, as if he had been immersed in his own world.
Sebastian frowned. Just as he was about to say something to Christo, the door of the Riddle Mansion suddenly opened and a cold and forceful voice came.
“Christo, you’ve never changed, have you?”
Christo shivered subconsciously upon hearing the voice. He immediately turned around and almost fainted when he saw Maximillian walk toward him.
Everyone else looked at the old man with surprise. They did not expect to see someone from the Johnston family at the Riddle family’s party. Many of them were not worried because they had made no mistake. ‘We’ve made the right decision to come here, especially with the presence of the patriarch of the Johnston family in the Riddle family’s party.’ Maximillian looked at Christo with a grim face.
But Christo’s face looked even grimmer, and he was under pressure when he saw Maximillian. “W-What are you doing here?” Mr. Johnston Sr. sneered, handed the invitation card to a server, and then looked at Christo coldly. “What am I doing here? I’m invited here, unlike someone who has come unsolicited.” He did not spare another glance at Christo and went up to talk to Mr. Riddle Sr., as if they were close to each other.
Many people looked at what happened and suddenly remembered what they had heard many years ago; it was rumored that the Riddle and the Johnston families had a close relationship. Now it seemed to be true.
