    ‘Yet, Mr. Johnston Sr. suddenly wanted to hold a banquet to announce his sessor.’

    ‘That probably will confuse everyone. Who is he going to name as his sessor?’


    Seeing Nicole’s expression turn glum, Sean knew that Nicole was thinking about something within, yet


    he still pretended to be calm and said, “It’s difficult for us outsiders to interfere with the matters of the


    Johnston family, but we still need to attend the banquet.”


    After all, Mr. Johnston Sr. had helped them before and attended the Riddle family’s banquet as well.


    How could they not attend this when even Mr. Riddle Sr. was the one personally making the trip?


    “I understand. I will attend it.” Nicole nodded. She knew that with her current rtionship with Jared, it


    was indeed time for her to get a clearer picture of his situation.


    She could not just always have Jared help her out. She should find a way to help him back as well.


    “Good then. Get ready in these few days.” Daniel smiled genially.


    –


    Nicole nodded. She knew that she must not cause the Riddle family to lose face, and so she needed to


    be prepared.


    —


    –


    The next afternoon, Nicole brought bags of items Gloria had prepared for her back to school as she


    nned to go back to the dormitory to familiarize herself with the matters she needed to deal with on


    Monday.


    However, just as she got off the car at the school gate, she was blocked by a car.


    Nicole frowned as she looked at the ck car. She could tell at a nce its license te meant that


    this was no ordinary person’s car.


    Soon, a slim figure came down from the car.


    This was the first time Joyce saw Nicole, but the moment she saw her, Joyce could not help but be


    surprised.


    So, the Nicole that could influence Mr. Wyance is actually a girl about eighteen to neen years old,


    and she… is such a beauty.’


    Even as ady, Joyce found herself to be a little jealous.


    She bit her lips and puffed up the chest she was proud of as she tried to make her look imposing as


    she said, “You’re Nicole?”


    Nicole raised an eyebrow as she looked at Joyce’s arrogant look and was instantly put off. “Yes, and


    who are you again?”


    Her rather discourteous response caught Joyce by surprise. Are youngdies these days all so


    arrogant?’


    However, at this point, she could only grit her teeth and say, “We’ve not met before, but I’m sure you’ve


    heard of the McCarthy family, right?”


    “You’re from the McCarthy family?” Nicole eyed her coldly. It was only just Saturday when Sean spoke


    about them, and she did not expect someone from the McCarthy family to look for her so soon.


    “Yes, I’m a daughter of the McCarthy family, Joyce McCarthy.” Joyce proimed her name as she


    proudly crossed her arms before her.


    Yet, Nicole did not even pay her any heed. “And?”


    Upon seeing Nicole was totally unperturbed, Joyce could not help but feel a little frustrated.


    After taking a deep breath, she calmed down somewhat. “I’m here to see who’s this person from the


    Riddle family that managed to sway Mr. Wyance. I never thought that she’d be just a brat.”


    Nicole looked at Joyce’s deliberately contemptuous look and said icily, “If I’m a brat, you don’t look


    much older than me either, no?”


    She looked like she was about Martin’s age, twenty-four or twenty-five years old.


    “I did not expect you to have quite the sharp tongue.” Seeing that Nicole was not about to step back,


    Joyce felt there was no longer a need to continue with the meaningless banter as she said, “Let’s cut to


    the chase. The reason I’m looking for you is that I know where you stand in Mr. Wyance’s heart and


    your status in the Riddle family. We’ll just consider the McCarthy family lost thest round. Recently,


    there’s a new real estate project, and the McCarthy Corporation ns to work together with the Riddle


    family. Help me send the word back and see if they are willing to work with us or not. If they are, the


    McCarthy Corporation will split forty-sixty with the Riddle Corporation.”


    Nicole looked at Joyce with her smug look and felt a little disgusted.


    She knew the situation with the McCarthy family, and they were hoping to use this project to turn things


    around, so how could the Riddle Corporation step into this trap?


    So it seemed like Joyce was treating her as a normal high school student and wanted to hoodwink her


    and use her rtionship with Mr. Wyance to influence his family’s decision.


    She could not be bothered to think too much as Nicole spoke, “No need.”


    Joyce’s originally gleeful face suddenly froze. “What did you say?”
