Chapter 1556
"You''re right.” Zeke agreed, as he came to the realization.
“School''s starting soon. Your family is always busy. Will they be in danger?”
"Don''t worry, I''ve already gotten a bunch of people to protect them in secret,” she said.
"Good, just let me know if you need help. Judging by the reaction of my father and my grandpa, I
believe they''ll try their best to help you if you need anything.” Zeke chuckled as he thought it was an
honor to help Nicole.
Nicole smiled. “Yeah. After all, the Guzman family is bound by oath to the Reby family. They''ll have to
listen to and obey themands of the crest bearer."
"True." Zeke nodded. "Does that mean that... you''re my superior now?"
Nicole liked the sound of that. “You''re right. I''m going to call you Little Zeke from now on."
Unfortunately, Zeke was extremely ufortable with this new name.
“Nah, I''m not your servant, okay?” he retorted.
Unable to hold it in, she burst outughing. Then, the both of them ate their lunch. As they were at it,
Zeke did not ask her much and just chatted with her casually. Naturally, he was just trying to
compliment Nicole. The afternoon then went on with jokes andughter.
Meanwhile, Fiore was finally bailed out from the San Joto police station.
She walked out of the police station, but much to her chagrin, she could not see her family''s car. All she
saw was a ck sedan. She got into the car and her eyes darkened when she saw the butler.”N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
Where''re my parents? Why didn''t theye?"
The butler sighed and looked at her. "Miss Fiore, Mr. Fisher has already stated that he had severed
all ties with youst night. I''m only here to send you to your personal home."
Fiore was stumped.
She had already had a hard time in the police station before she was bailed out, but it turned out that
her father was still furious at her. He even wanted to send her to her private house.
Unable to take it anymore, she immediately called her father.
Soon, her father''s voice was heard yelling at her from the speakers.
“How dare you call me, you brat?!"
Fiore was about tosh out at her father, but she was not expecting her father to beat her to it, and
was instantly left feeling upset as a result.
"Dad, I don''t mind you noting to pick me up, but scolding me? Do you really want to sever ties with
me?”
“I''m not your father! I don''t have a daughter as crappy as you are! Do you know that ourpany is in
a critical state because of you?! Everypany that had partnered with us is pulling out! And this only
happened because you pissed Nicole off! You wronged the entire Riddle family!" he roared.
Her father had been stressing out about it for the entire night. His eyes were bloodshot and his voice
was hoarse.
"Huh?" Fiore was shocked.
‘‘All I did was get into a petty argument with Nicolest night, and it affected our partnership with the
otherpanies?’
"Why is this happening?! What does my issue with Nicole have anything to do with them? Why did it
affect ourpany?” Fiore asked, unable to understand any of this.
She also could not understand the way everyone treated Nicole yesterday, as well as her father’s
special treatment of thetter.
"Why? It''s because Nicole imed the Fire Crest! She is the bearer of the Reby Family Crest! All of the
historical families have to treat her as theirmander! The families that went to the banquetst night
were all there to see Nicole!" he bellowed.
“What?!” Fiore was beyond shocked. Though she did not remember the details, the preface of her
family''s records did mention something about the Reby Family Crest.
"Isn''t that just a myth? Besides, the crest was nowhere to be seen for centuries!” she argued.
Fiore was stunned. She did not expect that the mythical item would appear, and she sure as hell
could not believe that Nicole had obtained it.
"Who said it was a myth?! It is with Nicole right now!” Fiore''s father was livid.
