Chapter 564
‘Mr. Johnston Sr. had stayed a low profile all this while. I’m afraid he has come to the party to help the Riddle family and we have such an honor, all because of Nicole.’
Mr. Riddle Sr. looked proud at the thought of this. They sat together and enjoyed talking with each other. Mr. Johnston Sr. was curious about Nicole and asked many questions, and Nicole answered all of them.
She maintained a straight face, sitting with her back straight, looking extremely graceful in the face of such a powerful person.
On the other hand, Damien found no opportunity to interject. Everyone else looked at Nicole, who was surrounded in the middle, with a complicated look in their eyes.
At first, he looked down upon Nicole, but now her achievement was even higher than his. He figured he probably would not be able to do this if he were Nicole.
Daniel and Gloria stood to the side, watching their daughter become the center of attention in front of those bigwigs and felt proud of her.
Nicole looked at Sean and Steve and then said to Mr. Riddle Sr., “Grandpa, it’s my brothers’ party today, so I won’t stay much longer. I will go upstairs first.” Maximillian looked at Nicole with even more appreciation in her eyes upon hearing what she said. She knew her place, even though she was now in the spotlight. Sebastian seemed to have expected that Nicole would say this. He looked at her and nodded.
Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole with surprise, but he quickly realized something and smiled.” Go ahead.”
Chloe and Snow watched with jealousy as all three of them loved Nicole. ‘Nicole really knows how to use the one-step-backward-and-two-steps-forward technique!’
