Chapter 536


    Nicole nced at Carl and said casually, "This is my friend; he''ll be staying over for a day."


    Carl shed a genuine smile at them.


    When they all saw how his emerald eyes seemingly sparkled with charm, they could not help but


    suspect him of having impure intentions toward Nicole.


    All of a sudden, all of them were looking at him cautiously.


    On the other hand, Nicole seemed to have understood the look in her brothers'' and grandfather''s eyes;


    she did not know whether tough or cry.


    "We''re just good friends.He came all the way from Mecrounia to meet me.I can''t possibly ask him to


    find a ce outside, right?"


    Both Sean and Steve calmly observed Carl.


    Meanwhile, Mr.Riddle Sr.coughed lightly and said in a kind voice, "A friend of Nicole is a guest of the


    Riddle family.Daniel, bring our guest to his room."


    Daniel nodded.He then smiled at Car] and introduced himself.


    When Carl learned that he was Nicole''s father, his gaze was instantly filled with respect.


    The two of them then walked into the house while chatting away.


    After Nicole was sure that the two had left, then only did she turn around to look at them.She lifted a


    brow and asked, "What exactly happened?"


    Sean and Steve looked at each other before saying slowly, "The bidding for thend was this


    afternoon; we won."


    Sean had a meaningful look in his eyes when he noticed Nicole''s calm demeanor.He thought of the


    phone call Sebastian had with his son.


    ‘He mentioned something about someone from the Riddle family being Hustuaburg''s top gemstone


    appraiser.This person surely yed a big part in their win today" Sean thought.


    Steve was also catching on to something.He proceeded to look at Nicole with slight surprise.


    "Sean, is Nicole that person?"


    Sean did not respond.He merely turned to Nicole with a seemingly questioning gaze.


    "Nicole, you know Mr.Wyance, don''t you?"


    Damien abruptly lifted his head when he heard their questions.


    ‘Sean and Steve stole the show today.I lost a foothold in this family a long time ago; I didn''t get any


    recognition even though I was the person-in-charge of the first round of bidding.But why did Sean ask


    such a question? Did they not win by themselves, but through some kind of special rtionship? But


    who''s Nicole? How could she possibly know Mr.Wyance?'' Damien wondered.


    He stared at Nicole with a hint of confusion.He had attended the Holder family''s cocktail party today; he


    managed to catch a glimpse of the ruckus happening.

    ‘Since Nicole is acquainted with both the Johnston family and Holder family, it wouldn''t be odd if she


    also knows Mr.Wyance" Damien thought.


    Just as he was in deep thought, someone behind him said tauntingly, "Sean, how stupid are you to


    think that Nicole would know Mr.Wyance?"


    ''It''s Dillon''s voice!'' he thought.


    Dillon had been quiet for a few days after Mr.Riddle Sr.publicly reprimanded him.


    Who would have guessed that he would show up again? Mr.Riddle Sr.frowned deeply at the sound of


    his voice.


    "You disgrace! How dare you show your face here?!"


    When Dillon walked into the manor, he looked at Mr.Riddle Sr.with a mixture of hatred and fear.


    However, he quickly regained his boldness as if a thought had urred to him.


    "If Mr.Wyance knew someone from the Riddle family, it would most definitely be Snow!" he said


    proudly.


    ''Snow even got invited by Harvey Ellison to his family''s banquet for the upper-ss" Dillon thought


    smugly while looking at Nicole.


    "Why would a thief like her know Mr.Wyance? She''s not worthy of knowing him!" he said fiercely.
