Daniel looked at Dillon and frowned.
“We don’t have to be at their beck and call.”
There was clearly a gap between the Riddle family and the Rogers family.
However, in Daniel’s point of view, there was no reason to lose their dignity over some intimidation.
Not when the person that was going to be handed over was his daughter.
He wiped the warm smile off his face and looked over to Dillon, who had a cold gaze.
Damien and Dexter remained quiet in the background as they watched everything unfold.
Although both of them wanted to get on the good side of the Rogers family, they never thought of doing it
in such an undignified way.
Hence, to some extent, they were not yet considered hopeless.
On the other hand, Dillon was not ready to bow down at Daniel’s request.
“Don’t you stir up trouble, Daniel.
Ms.
Rogers has come to find us, and you dare say that Nicole has done nothing wrong? I don’t believe you!”
It was clear that he was defending Lyana. After saying all that, Dillon turned to look at her in hopes of
getting some gratitude and praise.
His eyes filled with greed. Lyana’s impression of him was good.
He was well acquainted, and it would not be a big deal to acknowledge him “Help me take care of Nicole,
and I’ll speak kindly of you to my grandfather when I return to my family home.” Dillon’s eyes lit up as he
heard this.
He was overjoyed.
“Thank you, my lady! Thank you! There was news going around that my lady is a kind-hearted person.
I’ve witnessed it today!” Damien felt uncomfortable after hearing what Lyana had said. ‘If Dillon got a
stamp of approval from Mr. Rogers. Sr., his status in the Riddle family would be greatly affected.
He’ll even secure a higher place in the whole of San Joto! Isn’t this what I’ve been working so hard for?’
Dexter looked at his brother with a set of complex emotions.
‘How dare he?’ Dillon was grinning ear to ear.
He looked at his brothers with a face full of pride while Daniel looked at him in disappointment.
“How could you..” Lyana fixed her gaze toward Mr. Riddle. Sr. and said, “I’ll give you one last chance.
Tell me how you’ll hold her accountable.” During that time, Nicole had already bid farewell to Jared and
decided to go to the Riddle family home.
The Math Olympiad was that afternoon, so she did not have to go to class.
Thus, she chose to visit Mr. Roger Sr. before going to school. Not long after she walked out of the café, a
familiar black streamlined car stopped in front of her.
The window rolled down to reveal a handsome face.
Jared smiled and said, “Get in.” Nicole raised an eyebrow.
‘He didn’t say a word when we said goodbye just now.
But now he wants me to get in his car?’ She thought.
Though, she did not reject his kind offer.
She opened the door on the other side of the car and got in. Claus focused on driving when Jared said,
“Claus told me someone followed you around today.
Who was he?” “He’s my classmate,” Nicole said with nothing to hide. ‘Oh?’ Jared turned to look at her in
silence. “I think he likes you,” Jared playfully said after quite some time.
‘If Claus was right, this kid might be ill-willed,’ he thought. ‘Gary? Liking me?’ Nicole looked at Jared as if
she was looking at an idiot.
‘There’s no chance Gary’s attracted to me with how he treats me.’ “That’s impossible.”
