Chapter 1529

Jared was surprised to see the Holders coming forward, but he did not show his displeasure openly.

The item that Nachelle had gifted them was actually a classical painting that bore a history of more than a

thousand years. As expected, it was a priceless work of art.

Lloyd was appalled by the gesture. 'What's wrong with mom? Why would she give Nicole such an expensive gift?'

Furthermore, if he remembered correctly, that particular painting was his grandfather's favorite.

It was only then that Lloyd realized that something was not right. 'So many members from the Riddle family are

here today, and all of them are dressed in the most decadent garments. What's going on?'

Nicole looked at Nachelle, and was about to decline the gift when he took the painting with a smile, as he knew

what Nachelle was thinking. "I'll accept this gift on behalf of Nicole. Young people like her don't know howto

appreciate works of art like this."

Nicole knew that her grandfather did not wish to offend anybody who was present today. She also understood that

the Riddle family would be very powerful if all of them could be on their side in the future.

Thus, she did not stop Mr. Riddle Sr. from doing what he did. Regardless of what would happen after the crest had

been decrypted and severed from her name, there was little point in making any enemies. For that reason alone,

she allowed Mr. Riddle Sr. to take that painting. Besides, Mr. Riddle Sr. also looked as though he loved that painting

very much.

"Thank you, Mrs. Holder and Mr. Lloyd." Nicole said, giving the mother and son duo a slight nod to express her

gratitude.

Nachelle's mood immediately improved. 'Even though Nicole is still so young, she's a very polite and courteous lady.

She did not allow the power that comes from being the possessor of the Fire Crest to get to her head.'

'Unfortunately, my son is not lucky enough to be with her. If Lloyd had married her, my family would be the one

standing here proudly with the Riddles, not the Johnstons!' she thought.

As the night went on, more and more people began to surround them, each bearing gifts which they would then

present to Nicole.

Meanwhile, Harvey felt very uncomfortable after seeing how popular Nicole was. 'Why do I feel that Nicole has

become so out of reach after just one night?'

Mr. Ellison Sr. then came over to him. "Why are you still standing here? Everyone is giving them gifts now. Where's

the gift I’ve told you to bring?"

Soon after, Harvey came around and hurried off to give Nicole the gift with his grandfather beside him.

Martin filled his name in the gift list before coming inside because he wanted to keep a low profile for his family

while everybody else were gushing in, wishing to hand their gifts to Nicole in person,

Concurrently, Edwin turned to Preston, who was standing beside him, and said, "Tsk, tsk. You have such a powerful

relative. You've got to be so proud right now."

Preston looked very confused.

Indeed, he had come to the banquet with his parents without knowing what was happening. "What do you mean?"

"Tsk, tsk. Stop pretending like you don't know," Edwin said, thinking that Preston was just acting. "Nicole is the new

owner of the fire crest!"

Preston became even more puzzled upon hearing what Edwin had said. "Fire crest? Like in a video game? I have no

idea what you're talking about."

Edwin's eyes widened as soon as he realized that Preston was really oblivious to what was happening. "Are you

serious? Do you really not know anything about the Reby Family Crest?! Every family that has been around for

more than a thousand years would record the lore of the Reby Family Crest and store it in their family archives!"

Preston was taken aback after Edwin had mentioned the Reby Family Crest. He had taken glimpses of his family's

genealogy when he was eight, but he did not remember what was written in there at all!

"I can’t recall..." Preston said with his brows furrowed.

Suddenly, Ellar appeared out of nowhere, and asked, "Reby Family Crest? What's that?"
