Chapter 1568
Everett, who had been keeping to himself all this while, could not hold back any longer as he stepped forward and
said, "Uncle Daniel, my father came here because he really is concerned about Nicole. After all, aside from
Grandpa, he is the eldest member of the house. It isn't too much for him to ask a question here and there, is it?"
Everett rarely spoke, but as soon as he opened his mouth, every word that came out of it made an impact.
He immediately reminded everyone of Damien's position, telling everyone that no matter how powerful Nicole was
today, and no matter how celebrated Daniel's family was, his father, Damien Riddle was still the primary heir to Mr.
Riddle Sr.'s position.
Nicole could not help herself from shooting Everett a glance. 'This Everett. He sure was playing coy back then, and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas simply just overshadowed and mistreated by Chloe. I
And now, he has the opportunity to reveal what he is capable of.
Damien was taken aback by the fact that Everett would defend him like that, with every word spoken being very
reasonable. Damien, who had never given this son of his proper look before, could not help but to set his sights at
Everett again.
'Since when has this son of mine become so reliable?' he thought.
In response, Nicole glanced at both Damien and Everett.' You want to throw your weight around here? Very well.
The gloves are off."
Nicole flashed them an indifferent smile as she placed her cup down and looked at Everett. "To be the next master
of the house requires strength and competence. Has Grandpa announced to everyone here that Uncle Damien is
next in line as the master of the house?"
She then swept her gaze at everyone present without even pulling any punches.
At this instant, Damien became purple with rage. He felt that he was like a slab of meat on the chopping block to be
messed about by Daniel and his family today.
Miley was a little glum. 'Even if Nicole is the bearer of the Fire Crest, she wouldn't be so defiantly arrogant, would
she?'
Unable to hold back, she snorted, "Isn't that a foregone conclusion? Your grandpa had always tacitly allowed your
Uncle Damien to manage the company. Doesn't that mean that the position of master of the house is his? What,
are you thinking that it'll be yours?"
'This brat actually disregarded Damien! Seems that she has gotten more guts after we became nicer to her, huh,'
Miley thought.
Seeing that Miley was wagging her tongue, trying to find a way to reinforce her position, a wry smile crossed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole's face. "Is that so? From what I can see, all Grandpa did was give Uncle Damien an opportunity to manage
the company. Yet, what has he achieved in the past ten years? I'm sure everyone here could see it forthemselves."
These words struck Damien like a barrage of slaps to the face, but he had no way to refute that because she was
telling the truth.
When Mr. Riddle Sr. was still at the helm of the Riddle Corporation, the Riddle family was still considered a first-
class family. Even after Mr. Riddle Sr. had become
powerless in the end, the Riddle family had still not fallen off the list of first-class families.
It was only until when Damien took over that the company suffered grievously during the first three years of his
tenure, causing the Riddle family to become a second-rate family, and eventually, in the past two years, a third-
rate family.
If it was not for the fact that Nicole had gotten her hands on the Fire Crest, who knew when the Riddle family would
be restored to its former glory?
