Karen wanted to say something, but seeing the powerful – looking soldiers behind Nicole, she said
nothing as she hid in her room in a panic and called Dillon.
“That Nicole seemed to have really cured the old man! Damn it all!” Dillon was lying on the executive
chair in the office doing nothing and almost jumped up in shock as he heard that.
“What did you say?”
Karen immediately told Dillon what she saw, and after hearing that, Dillon’s heart was beating wildly as
he grabbed his coat and rushed home.
‘How could that be?’
‘That Nicole actually managed to cure the old man even when the best surgeons in San Joto only have a
fifty percent assurance.
Who did she call?’ Along the way, countless thoughts appeared in Dillon’s head.
He suddenly remembered the people who took Mr. Riddle Sr.
away.
That mixed-blooded doctor did not look like some pushover, but Nicole said that they were actors she
hired. “Could it be that Nicole was lying to me?’ After realizing it, Dillon was flushed red as he quickly
gave Snow a call.
“Snow, have you done what Dad asked you to?” Snow was taking the pink diamond Harvey gave her to
the best jewelry store in San Joto, thinking of putting the diamond on a matching right so that she could
wear it and show it off to everyone. At this moment, when she got the call from an angry Dillon, she was
a little stunned. To be honest, after looking at the diamond, she had totally forgotten what Dillon had
asked her to do.
A look of guilt flashed across Snow’s face, but she quickly recomposed herself as she said,” I’ve told
Harvey already.
What happened, Dad?” Dillon then spat in a frenzy, “Nicole seemed to have cured your grandpa! Quick,
come back with Raine quickly!” When Snow heard this, she was taken aback.
“Didn’t the best doctors in San Joto say there’s only a fifty percent chance to cure him? Nicole actually
managed to do that?” Dillon, too, did not want to believe that, and he hissed coldly.
“Told you to act faster.
See what happens now.
The limelight is all on Nicole now!” As he said that, he hung up the phone angrily as he continued to
grumble about Snow.
Snow had never been yelled at like this before.
She looked at her darkened phone screen as her expression turned sullen.
She then said to the driver in front. “Turn around, pick up Raine and go back to the Riddle family manor!”
The driver acknowledged and drove the car toward the Royal Creek Institute.
Raine had only just finished her class, and before she could go to ask Gary out for a date, she saw her
elder sister waiting for her at the gate.
Realizing something, she could only say goodbye to Gary and hurriedly walked out. Gary was not too
concerned about Raine.
His mind had been focused on that signature for the past few days now.
He had applied to join the Hunters but had not heard back yet. Nicole had been absent since last Friday.
Gary put away his phone into his pocket, and a slight look of irritation appeared on his face. He currently
had no way to reach the apex circle of hackers, and using his channels to seek out Lucifer netted him
nothing. He put his hands into his trouser pockets as a look of conflict appeared on his face. A few
seconds later, as if he had made up his mind, he walked toward the school gate.
Back at the Riddle family manor, Nicole helped Mr. Riddle Sr.
to settle down and then ran another check to him to ensure that the journey did not cause any damage to
his body.
It was only then she was relieved.
She turned around and looked at the others.
The chill in her eyes slowly faded away, her voice gentle.
“Thank you.” The few special forces looked at each other.
As Nicole looked at them, they were at a loss for words.
