“Get out of the way. Didn’t you see that I’m in a hurry?”
‘This little girl really doesn’t know any better.’
Chloe was embarrassed and quickly stepped aside after being reprimanded harshly. Behind her, Snow
watched her being reprimanded and breathed a soft sigh of relief. ‘Fortunately, Chloe is ahead of me.
Otherwise, I would have been the one facing this embarrassing situation. She patted herself on the
chest, glad that she was not the one being reprimanded. But the thought of Mr. Johnston Sr.’s attitude
toward Nicole and Mr. Ellison’s disregard for her frustrated her. ‘There will always be a chance to fix
Nicole,’ she said in her mind.
Thinking of this, she just remembered that, although Mr. Johnston Sr. was gone, Sebastian was still here.
She hurried over to say hello to Sebastian. Her grandfather had ordered her father not to come out and
enjoined her to build rapport with Sebastian. Snow walked toward Sebastian when she heard Sebastian
say to Mr. Riddle Sr., “This time the Riddle family has done really well.” Sebastian looked at the two
young men in front of him and turned to look approvingly at Mr. Riddle Sr. “With the help of such young
men, the Riddle family will only get stronger and stronger.” Mr. Riddle Sr. nodded gratefully. “Thank you
for your compliment, Mr. Wyance.”
Sebastian said a few more words of encouragement to Sean and Steve, nodded to Damien and Dexter,
and then slowly walked out. Snow had waited for a long time without even having a chance to talk to
Sebastian even until he left. People followed Sebastian and greeted him as he went. He was different
from Maximillian; he had always been gentler and approachable, and people were seeing him out, while
when Maximillian left, no one except Chloe dared to stand in his way. Snow looked at Sebastian, who
was surrounded by people, and stomped her feet, feeling frustrated as she did not even get a chance to
get close to Sebastian. No one spared a glance at Snow, who was left upset by herself, as people
swarmed around Sebastian to see him out. Taylor was witnessing the entire episode. Not wanting to be
left behind, he gritted his teeth and followed. Sebastian walked out slowly, appearing steady when
looking from behind him. It was not hard to imagine that he lived a life like this every day. Snow and
Chloe almost fainted in anger as they missed yet another opportunity.
After today’s party, everyone would know Nicole from the Riddle family for her relationship with not only
Sebastian but also Maximillian. ‘And I get nothing!’ Snow and Chloe thought to themselves each. After
Sebastian left, Damien looked a little stupefied to see people start to come up to him and compliment
him. They were the very same people who did not bother to look at him previously. But thanks to Nicole,
they all were now smiling fawningly at him.
Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Sean and Steve and was pleased with them. Gaining Sebastian’s approval
meant more and more people would recognize their abilities. ‘Maybe it’s really time to delegate more
responsibilities to the young people.’ Thinking of this, Mr. Riddle Sr. quietly made a decision.
