"Yeah Nicole, you're just so multi-talented!" Samuel was surprised.However, Nicole shook her head. "It's just something I picked up in the organization. Everyone there knows it."The more she tried to understate things, the more they felt Nicole was more than she let on.Daniel looked at the time and saw that it was already late and they should be going back. "Alright, Grandpa's tired too. Let's go back first. We'll be very busy for the coming days.""Yes. After this, all of you must help out with Nicole's wedding. No one's allowed to slack off.""Don't worry about it." Samuel nodded."Yeah, just tell us what we need to do, Mom," Spencer added.It was only then that Gloria felt relieved. "Good."The family chatted with one another as they prepared to bid Mr. Riddle Sr. goodbye.Yet, unexpectedly, Damien suddenly entered through the front door.When he saw that Daniel and the rest were about to leave, his expression was dark.He had only heard that the Johnston and Riddle fa
Damien totally did not expect Mr. Riddle Sr. to be so frank with him.Although Damien was a little taken by surprise, he decided to be frank as well. "I'll readily admit that the reason the company's doing so well right now is because of Daniel's family. But the reason we survived this long is because of me breaking my back running the company. You shouldn't just discard my past contributions just like that..."Mr. Riddle Sr. frowned. "Since when did I discard your past contributions? I just want you to make way for your betters. The Riddle family isn't yours alone. Only when the family and the company is in a good spot will everyone in the family enjoy its benefits. The company should be run by those who are most capable. You, of all people, should know this logic best."When he heard the words 'make way for your betters', Damien clenched his fist tightly.He could not help but to say mockingly, "So, father, you feel that I'm just hogging the position and doing minor work, like an
"It's true that I don't have much. But for these two things, you can take it if you dare." Nicole sarcastically said, "Being able to depend on others is also an ability. I guess you don't even have that ability. Do you only know how to be unreasonable like your wife?"Those words came one after another. Damien was speechless at Nicole's sarcasm."What a great show, Nicole. I can't fight you now, but you better remember this, good tunes come from an old fiddle. It won't be good for you once you offend me." Damien gave Nicole a death stare. His gaze was like a wolf's scowl.Nicole could sense the threatening tone in Damien's voice. She turned around, glanced at Mr. Riddle Sr., and said, "Grandpa, it seems like the Riddle family is separated now. Previously, we only separated the shares. Now that we have to protect the company, I guess we'll have to split up the company too. Since Uncle Damien's so confident, he can just lead his own department as an individual division. That way, he w
The burden she had to face for not getting a good night's rest, the back pain she had to suffer when she went to school... Nicole did not want him to stay anymore. She wanted to rest at night."After the weekend, we'll be husband and wife legally. What's so bad about living together a few days earlier?"Nicole looked at him with a firm gaze. "Of course it's a bad thing! My back is in pain!"Jared immediately understood what she meant and smiled wickedly. "Then, for tonight, I'll be a little gentler.""Shut up, you brute! I won't let you touch me even once tonight!" This guy really had no self-control. Nicole could not let Jared have his way.Jared pursed his lips. "You don't have a say... Come, let's take a shower first."As soon as he finished talking, Jared carried Nicole in his arms."You! Let go of me!" Nicole was blushing while wriggling.However, Jared raised his eyebrows proudly. "You could scream louder... I don't mind it if mom and dad hear you.""You!" This nasty fel
That student rolled her eyes at Regina. "A bumpkin will always be a bumpkin. It was just a tiny step on the leg and she's already creating a scene.""Who are you calling a bumpkin?" Regina had never been labeled a bumpkin her whole life. She immediately got mad and stood up angrily. "Did your parents not teach you manners?"Every student at San Joto came from a good family background. That student did not bother about Regina but squinted her eyes and threatened Regina. "Aren't you acting a little too arrogant for a newcomer? Do you need some lessons on how to behave?"Regina's eyes widened at the threatBut after Regina went home the last time, her dad had told her about Nicole's real identity. He also warned Regina that there are many people in San Joto which she should never offend. So, Regina could only grit her teeth and hold back."I'm in no mood to deal with you! You better watch yourself the next time." Regina found an excuse for herself and returned to her seat quietly.W
Those words sounded particularly harsh when Ryder's homeroom teacher who was leading the team heard it.At that moment, he could not take it in anymore and immediately approached Mr. Hardy. "Mr. Hardy, what a wonderful sight to see. It was just one championship and you're already criticizing people behind their backs. That's not nice, isn't it?"When Mr. Hardy saw Mr. Zach, he laughed.Over the past few years, they always went head-to-head in the competition. Before Zeke appeared, the Finley brothers always won the championship. But since Zeke entered Northon Institute, Mr. Hardy could finally stand proudly."I did not criticize you behind your back. Aren't you standing right here? No matter how many championships you've won, I'm sure you've heard the saying 'each new generation exceeds the last one', right? Last year, Zeke was the best of the best. Even the Finley brothers could only last about 20 minutes before losing to him. His skills are beyond that of the Finley brothers."A
Being stared at, Gary immediately felt awkward. He turned his gaze and said, "Uh, I was just guessing."Nicole looked at Gary worriedly and suddenly moved closer to him.Instantly, Gary's heart started beating rapidly. He could faintly smell the perfume on Nicole."W-what are you doing?" Gary was a little nervous.Nicole lowered her voice and asked, "How did you guess it?"Gary could not escape anymore. He then replied softly, "Lucifer's my idol. I've carefully studied her coding pattern and signature. The last time you stole the school's CCTV recording, I was guarding the server..."Obviously, Nicole could tell he was that person the other day. Gary actually looked up to Lucifer as his idol and even studied her signature and coding pattern?Nicole curled her lips in annoyance. "I knew it was you. You're not stupid either, since you could guess that it was me."Seeing that Nicole was not angry, Gary scratched his head sheepishly. "Hehe. I spent quite an amount of effort on it t
If he had the chance, Gary should really learn from them!While Gary was admiring Nicole and Zeke, Mr. Hardy and Mr. Zach had just finished their intense argument.Mr. Hardy saw how angry Mr. Zach was, and he proudly said, "Mr. Zach, don't look at me like that. You'd better ask your team members to do better."Mr. Zach was so angry that his face had reddened, and he turned speechless.Zeke, who was standing beside Mr. Hardy, watched how arrogant he was and felt a little timid. "Mr. Hardy, I think it's best if we kept things lowkey."Zeke was not sure what Nicole was there for. If she were to join the competition...Then, Zeke would lose his reputation right there.However, Mr. Hardy still seemed proud. "Zeke, why are you being so humble? I believe in you. Don't be nervous!"From afar, Steve and Edwin were the only ones who knew the truth.Embarrassed, they whispered, "This teacher is a little too arrogant. Although that kid's quite skillful, he's still not as good as Nicole, r
