The Rogers residence–
It was a sunny day.
Lyana was in her bedroom staring at the messages she had sent to Jared.
Apparently, there was no reply.
She got up angrily, wanting to scream to vent her frustration.
But before she did that, her phone screen suddenly lit up.
Lyana was surprised.
She took her phone.
But when she read the message, her face gradually turned grave with vague light in her eyes.
She got up and left her room.
On her way out, her servant approached her in a servile manner, wanting to say something to her.
But Lyana did not spare the servant a glance and left the mansion building.
The Rogers family’s driver waiting on the car porch was surprised to see Lyana.
But it did not take him long to recover to his senses and open the car door for her.
Lyana was in a hurry that she did not even bring along the bodyguards who used to follow her
everywhere she went.
She got in the car and instructed the driver, “Take me to the Riddle residence!”
The driver was surprised again.
But he did not dare to go against the young lady’s order, so he immediately started the engine.
On their way to the Riddle residence, her face looked as black as thunder. What did Nicole do to grandpa
that he purposely sent someone to invite her over? The Riddles have got to explain to me when I reach
there,’ Lyana thought. The car traveled at high speed and reached the gate of the Riddle residence in no
time.
Most of the Riddles were sighted waiting at the gate too.
Apparently, they had returned after hearing the news.
Dillon was standing beside Damien, looking desperate. His status in the Riddle family had been seriously
diminished.
To regain Mr. Riddle Sr.’s favor again, he wanted to do his best to please Lyana Rogers, the young lady
of the Rogers family. The Rogers family’s car stopped at the gate of the Riddle residence.
The moment Dillon saw a slender leg swing out, he immediately knew that person was that young lady.
He strode to the car and pushed the driver to the side, and even offered Lyana his hand to take. His
servility startled Lyana a bit.
However, she did not reject it.
She casually placed her hand on his, acting sophisticated. Dillon was overjoyed.
He helped her up and said in a servile tone, “Ms.
Rogers, we’ve prepared a feast.
Allow me to escort you.” Lyana was feeling better upon seeing his obsequious attitude. Damien, on the
other hand, adjusted his glasses while looking at Dillon’s action impassively.’ Dillon is not good in
everything except for bootlicking.
No one can beat him in that aspect!’ When he thought of that, he followed Lyana to the house building
and said with a gentle voice, “Hi, Ms.
Rogers.
I wonder what brings you here.” Lyana’s face darkened the moment she was reminded of her purpose.
Instead of walking further, she folded her arms and sneered.
With an icy voice, she said, “Just look at yourselves.
Trying hard to butter me up.
Nicole Riddle must have used a similar approach to gain my grandpa’s favor! Tell me.
What’s with that Nicole? What kind of tricks she has used on my grandpa?” When she said that, even
Dexter, who had been following them quietly, was wide-eyed. ‘Nicole has ties with Mr. Rogers Sr.?! ‘She
can’t be serious!’ Damien did not expect he would step on Lyana’s toes with a simple question.
However, he was quick-witted.
He said with a smile, “Nicole was not brought up in our family, so we don’t really know her well.
Ms.
Rogers, as someone as prestigious as you, no need to bother yourself with her!” Similarly, Dillon, whom
Lyana had mocked just now, gave away his self-respect and chimed in smoothly, “Ms.
Rogers, we treat you respectfully because you’re the prestigious young lady from the Rogers family.
If it was someone from other families, I wouldn’t even spare them a glance! A country bumpkin like
Nicole is nothing compared to you.
She might have piqued Mr. Rogers Sr.’s interest for now, but it won’t last long!” Dillon made it sound as
though there was something dirty going on between Nicole and Mr. Rogers Sr. His words made Lyana’s
mood much better.
Only then did she continue to walk to the house building.
Although her voice remained icy cold, her expression was not as stem as before.
