Nicole looked at Dillon.
He had an arrogant expression and looked like a villain.
She then smiled mysteriously.
Dillon stared at her smile and "Why are you dressed like that? Were you also planning to attend the
Holder family's banquet yet were not invited?" he asked disdainfully.
After everyone heard Dillon's question, they were stunned for a moment.
They turned to look at Nicole's outfit.He's right.This is an evening dress one would wear to a banquet.
Anyway, it looks pretty expensive, ' they thought.
Everyone looked at Nicole with puzzled gazes.
However, Nicole did not explain herself but turned to Mr.Riddle Sr.instead.
"Grandpa, I think I saw some guests just now?" she asked casually, Mr.Riddle Sr.was also staring at
Nicole's outfit with narrowed eyes; he seemed to have figured something out.
However, he instantly forgot what he was thinking about as his train of thought was interrupted by
Nicole's question.
Mr.Riddle Sr.turned to look at his granddaughter.He had a strange expression instead of his usually
serious one.
"That's right.They're all old acquaintances that haven't been in contact with our family since our
downfall.I don't know what happened, but all of them came over and wanted to cotton up to me.Isn't it
odd?"
Dillon spoke before Nicole could.
"Dad, it must be because of Snow.You probably don't know about this yet, but Snow attended the
banquet with Harvey today.It's likely that they changed their attitude after seeing the relationship
between the Riddle and Ellison family!"
He then turned to look at everyone else smugly.
‘Why worry about the future when we have Harvey?’ he thought.
Mr.Riddle Sr.ignored him and turned to Nicole.She looked exceptionally gorgeous today.
"Is that so?"he drawled.
Sean and Steve were also looking at Nicole.
They had a feeling that the matter had something to do with their remarkable sister.
Even though Nicole never brought it up, the Johnston family's attitude toward them was telling.
Damien and Dexter stood across them.
Damien clearly believed Dillon's words more but remained silent.
However, he thought of how he did not see anyone from the Rogers family at today's banquet.
‘What on earth is happening?’ Damien wondered.
Suddenly, the gate behind them was opened, and a BMW sports car drove in.
Chloe and Snow got out and walked toward them.
The two instantly spotted Nicole; they looked at her with faint hatred in their eyes.
On the other hand, Nicole gazed at Snow's expression icily.
When Snow saw Nicole's gaze, she felt a little guilty.
Regardless, her guilt was quickly washed away by her jealousy.
‘Even though Nicole helped me find the diamond, it doesn't change the fact that she snatched Harvey
away from me!' she thought.
Chloe continued staring at Nicole coldly; it was as if she wanted to tear her to shreds.
Damien saw the look on Chloe's face and was visibly disappointed.He did not look at her with the
pleased gaze he usually had.
The banquet today changed his view on his daughter.
