Chapter 970


    “Nicole, it is not toote for you to admit it, and it‘s not a shame to apologize to Grandpa in public.”


    “You won‘t be the only one to be embarrassed if you are exposedter.” Chloe climbed on her high


    horse and swept her eyes at Nicole and then at Mrs. Wace Sr.


    Nicole smirked and asked rhetorically, “Chloe, if you admit it now, I can plead for you in front of


    grandpa. Grandpa is in a good mood today. Maybe he won‘t punish you heavily. If not, you won‘t be the


    only one to lose faceter.”


    Chloe did not expect Nicole to ask her back, her heart skipping a beat, and she quickly adjusted her


    state of mind. She had hidden the real diamond, and no one knew where it was except her. So she


    thought Nicole must be bluffing


    “Nicole, I think you‘re drunk without drinking. Since you suspect me, prove it to everyone.” Chloe


    challenged Nicole, knowing that she had no proof.


    “Okay, at first, I did not want to say anything. But since you have asked for it, I will make it happen.”


    Nicole looked Chloe in the eyes with a sneer.


    “Here‘s what happened: before I left the country, Chloe asked me to bring a rare Dresden Green


    Diamond to grandpa. As I was in a hurry, I didn‘t open it to confirm. After I got it to grandpa , I opened it


    and saw that it was an ordinary diamond. Snow and Raine can testify to it.” Nicole paused for a


    moment to look at them. Raine quickly stood up, as this was the best chance to embarrass Nicole. “I


    can testify that when we opened the box that day, it was indeed an ordinary diamond inside, so we


    deduced Nicole had swapped it midway. Grandpa was also present at that time.”


    “What?” The others who were present heard this and looked at Nicole in shock.


    “Nicole, how dare you swap Grandpa‘s diamond? You‘re so shameless . You even hit Raine the other


    day. I don‘t understand why the Riddle family has someone like you.” Karen took advantage of the


    issue and took out her anger on Nicole.


    “Nicole hit Raine?!” All the elders stepped out to criticize Nicole.


    “Be quiet. Let Nicole finish her sentence.” Mr. Riddle Sr. knocked his staff on the ground.


    Nicole ignored them and looked at Raine with a straight face. “You can now sit down.”


    “I‘m sure, at this point, you all think that I must have switched the diamond midway, right?”


    “Who else could it be but you? Would Chloe swap the diamond she gave to her grandfather?” Damien


    red at Nicole.


    “I have to correct you here. It wasn’t Chloe who gave the diamond to Grandpa. It was Henry. He asked


    her to deliver the diamond. She ran into me, so she asked me to deliver it on her behalf.”


    “Isn‘t it the same? She ran into you. It‘s not like she knew you were going to show up beforehand.”


    Snow was quick–witted in excusing Chloe as she saw fit.


    “You‘re right. How did she know I was bound to show up there?”

    “This is the CCTV footage I took out of the building, so you all can watch it.” Nicole handed a sh drive


    to the family butler.


    Chloe‘s heart skipped a beat. She had had the building‘s CCTV footage cleaned up, so she wondered


    where Nicole had gotten it from.


    On the TV next to the living room, the family butler yed the CCTV footage from the days leading up


    to the day of the incident. Nicole walked out. “Since the video is a little longer, please fast–forward it.


    “Stop. Everyone, this was the time I went to see Jared. Now keep ying “Stop! Here‘s a shot of Chloe


    watching me from the side, covering her face, but her shoes give her away. She was having an


    endorsement shoot of the new shoes of Johnston Group, so these shoes were not avable on the


    market. Only during the endorsement shoot did she have the opportunity to wear them. Continue the


    video.”


    “Nonsense. That wasn‘t me at all. I was wearing flip flops that day.” Chloe saw a w and retorted.
