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 the commands 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 uncomfortable with this new name.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Nah, I'm not your servant, okay?" he retorted.
Unable to hold it in, she burst out laughing. 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 and laughter.
Meanwhile, Fiorella 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
black sedan.
She got into the car and her eyes darkened when she saw the butler." Where're my parents? Why didn't they
come?"
The butler sighed and looked at her. "Miss Fiorella, Mr. Fisher has already stated that he had severed all ties with
you last night. I'm only here to send you to your personal home."
Fiorella 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?!"
Fiorella was about to lash 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 not coming 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 our company is in a critical
state because of you?! Every company 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?" Fiorella was shocked. 'All I did was get into a petty argument with Nicole last night, and it affected our
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpartnership with the other companies?'
"Why is this happening?! What does my issue with Nicole have anything to do with them? Why did it affect our
company?" Fiorella 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 the latter.
"Why? It's because Nicole claimed the Fire Crest! She is the bearer of the Reby Family Crest! All of the historical
families have to treat her as their commander! The families that went to the banquet last night were all there to
see Nicole!" he bellowed.
"What?!" Fiorella 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.
Fiorella 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!" Fiorella's father was livid.
