Chapter 1567
Only after the car had left that Daniel turned around and headed inside.
In a hall, after Nicole had taken a seat, her brothers flocked over one another as they brought her drinks and
desserts.
Chloe, Snow and Raine were all green with envy as they watched the Riddle brothers doting on her to the extreme.
They would give her everything she wanted, but what about their own brothers?
Everett was useless, and with Preston on Nicole's side, it pissed them off to no end.
Meanwhile, Nicole held a cup of coffee as she tasted the sweets. Gloria and Daniel, on the other hand, were seated
beside her, eyeing with concern. Sitting directly across them were Damien and Dillon and their wives, who had been
waiting for the opportunity to ask questions. Unfortunately for Chloe, Snow and Raine, there were no seats left
forthem at the front, so they could only sit on a small couch at the back.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole ate about three to four snacks in an instant and drank two cups of coffee before taking at the look at the
quarter seated opposite of her out of courtesy.
At that moment, Damien immediately seized the opportunity and asked, "Were they good?"
Seeing that it was almost time, Nicole then placed her cup of coffee down as she asked, "Uncle Damien, why are
you still here? Is there something you want from me?"
She posed the question in such a way that it implied that he should have left a long time ago.
Having never been questioned like this before, Damien's face immediately flushed a bright red.
However, he could only stifle his anger as he said, "Nicole, you sure surprised us. You didn't even inform us that
you've gotten your hands on the Fire Crest. I only learned about it yesterday, and that's why I thought of asking you
today about where you've gotten it."
Nicole looked at Damien. 'He sure is curious as to where I got it.'
Still, it was clear that he had a hidden agenda.
In response, she flashed him a smile, pretending as if she was being naive, and asked, "Why are you asking this,
Uncle Damien? Are you planning to look for the other crests?"
Everyone knew that there were five Reby Family Crests.
Now that she had gotten one of them, Daniel's place in the Riddle family had skyrocketed to the top before the old
man's eyes. Moreover, the Riddle Corporation was so powerful now that the prices of its shares had risen several
times over. Damien must have been afraid that the position of heir would be taken by Daniel, and that was why he
wanted the crest so badly.
With Nicole seeing through his intentions in such fashion, the smile on Damien's face faded.
Even Dillon's expression changed as he looked at his elder brother. He had only come over after he heard that
Damien had gone over to Daniel's place, and he had done so mainly to see how Damien would react to Nicole.
'Ooh, so that old fox is actually plotting this? Why did I not think of that? Nicole can only act as if she is some big
shot because she has the Fire Crest with her. If I get one myself, then won't I, Dillon Riddle, be respected too?' he

As he thought about it, Dillon's expression changed and he mocked, "Damien, you sure have a clever plan, don't
you? If you are getting a Reby Family Crest too, then the Riddle family will have two crests, and when that time
comes, who will dare go against you, and the Riddle family, right?"
Dillon's change of tune was ironic, and yet, it caused the look on Daniel, Sean and the rest of the family's faces to
turn grim.
'So, Damien is here for this. And here we thought that he was worried about Nicole!'
"Damien, if you are here just for this, please leave. Nicole had only just suffered an accident and is need of respite,"
Daniel chided.
This was the first time Daniel showed utter disregard for Damien, wanting to only protect his daughter.
"You..." Damien began, but stopped short of uttering another word.
He was furious that his younger brother, whom he had always been on top of, had reprimanded to him, but he
could not come up with a retort.
