Chapter 1626
These voices streamed in one after another, and everyone began to feel jealous of Nicole.
Nicole ignored the voices, looked at her brothers, and shook her head. ‘I''m fine. I''m just not used to
wearing high heels."
It was only then that her brothers heaved a sigh of relief.
Samuel then smiled. ‘Hold onto me then."
As expected, that smile from him brought forth another wave of shrill squeals from the women around
him.
"So handsome..."
"What a bright smile.”
Seeing that, Samuel could only feel proud of himself.
Nicole instantly knew what he was thinking and rolled her eyes. “There''s no need forthat. Tia can help
me."
At that moment, Tia got out of the car, and when she heard what Nicole had said, she immediately
rushed over. "Yes, Miss Nicole can hold onto me, Mr. Samuel."
"Oh...’ Samuel said, suddenly looking a little dejected.
It would be really cool if he could go in together with Nicole.
Spencer rolled his eyes at Samuel at that instant. "You can keep dreaming on about going in with
Nicole."
Right after that, he grabbed Samuel and the twins left the ce together.
When Nicole saw the two acting the way they were, she could hardly withhold her snigger. Soon after,
the Riddle Family stepped into the banquet hall together, under the gaze of everyone present.
Although it was an annual meeting, the Riddle Corporation had anticipated arge number of
attendees, so the preparations were exceedinglyvish and decadent. The venue in question was even
much grander than the banquet at the Riddle''s residence, with all kinds of ssmps, fresh flowers,
desserts and the likes.
Within the banquet, many individuals from the various great families, as well as elites from the major
businesses were already gathered there. It would not be frowned upon for them to discuss business in
the banquet, as everyone came here with benefits in mind.
Because of this, everyone was dressed to the nines, for fear of losing out to others.
Both Damien and Dillon''s family, after such a long period of underestimating Daniel''s family, and
fearing that they would lose out whenpared to thetter, were dressed even more decadently.
Damien, in particr, did so as if he wanted to unt his status, to tell everyone that he was the interim
chairman of the corporation.
Yet, just as he was chatting up to the VVIPs in the room, a suddenmotion erupted at the entrance.
As soon as that urred, the person he was talking to said. “Excuse me, Mr. Damien. I''ll head over
there for a bit."
Damien instinctively turned around to look over, and that was when he saw Daniel appearing at the
entrance with his family.
At that point, his calm eyes could no longer hide the jealousy within him as a storm of envy and anger
brewed.
Miley quipped. "Look at Daniel''s family. Before this, they did not even have the right to attend events
like these, and now he brings his entire family!
This is a tant provocation!"
This time, however, Damien did not admonish Miley.
And the VVIP who had just ignored him so abruptly earlier had gone off to shake hands with Daniel and
Sean. His fists were clenched tight at the sight of that.
Noticing his father''s furious look, Everett came up to his side and whispered. "Dad, don''t get agitated.
Grandpa still needs you to mingle around with the folks near him."
It was only then that Damien regained some degree of rity, and when he saw a crowd around Mr.
Riddle Sr., he left that WIP behind, rposed himself, and apanied the old man.
Even if no one recognized him now, the old man was here, and as the person in charge of the
company, Damien could not afford to lose the trust of the old man at this juncture.
Over on the other side, Dillon and his wife too were being ignored. When they saw Nicole and her
family members being surrounded by the socialites and business elites, they were pissed off.
Karen, in particr, spat angrily, "Do you see how gleeful Gloria is? If you don''t think of a way, you''ll
really be nothing in thispany!"N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
