My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 536

Chapter 536

Nicole glanced at Carl and said casually, "This is my friend; he'll be staying over for a day."

Carl flashed a genuine smile at them.

When they all saw how his emerald eyes seemingly sparkled with charm, they could not help but suspect him of having impure intentions toward Nicole. All of a sudden, all of them were looking at him cautiously.

On the other hand, Nicole seemed to have understood the look in her brothers' and grandfather's eyes; she did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"We're just good friends. He came all the way from Mecrounia to meet me.I can't possibly ask him to find a place outside, right?"

Both Sean and Steve calmly observed Carl.

Meanwhile, Mr.Riddle Sr.coughed lightly and said in a kind voice, "A friend of Nicole is a guest of the Riddle family. Daniel, bring our guest to his room." Daniel nodded. He then smiled at Car] and introduced himself.

When Carl learned that he was Nicole's father, his gaze was instantly filled with respect.

The two of them then walked into the house while chatting away.

After Nicole was sure that the two had left, then only did she turn around to look at them. She lifted a brow and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Sean and Steve looked at each other before saying slowly, "The bidding for the land was this afternoon; we won."

Sean had a meaningful look in his eyes when he noticed Nicole's calm demeanor. He thought of the phone call Sebastian had with his son.

'He mentioned something about someone from the Riddle family being Hustuaburg's top gemstone appraiser. This person surely played a big part in their win today" Sean thought.

Steve was also catching on to something. He proceeded to look at Nicole with slight surprise.

"Sean, is Nicole that person?"

Sean did not respond. He merely turned to Nicole with a seemingly questioning gaze.

"Nicole, you know Mr.Wyance, don't you?"

Damien abruptly lifted his head when he heard their questions.

'Sean and Steve stole the show today.I lost a foothold in this family a long time ago; I didn't get any recognition even though I was the person-in-charge of the first round of bidding. But why did Sean ask such a question? Did they not win by themselves, but through some kind of special relationship? But who's Nicole? How could she possibly know Mr. Wyance?' Damien wondered.

He stared at Nicole with a hint of confusion. He had attended the Holder family's cocktail party today; he managed to catch a glimpse of the ruckus happening.

'Since Nicole is acquainted with both the Johnston family and Holder family, it wouldn't be odd if she also knows Mr.Wyance" Damien thought.

Just as he was in deep thought, someone behind him said tauntingly, "Sean, how stupid are you to think that Nicole would know Mr. Wyance?" 'It's Dillon's voice!' he thought.

Dillon had been quiet for a few days after Mr.Riddle Sr.publicly reprimanded him.

Who would have guessed that he would show up again? Mr.Riddle Sr.frowned deeply at the sound of his voice.

"You disgrace! How dare you show your face here?!"

When Dillon walked into the manor, he looked at Mr.Riddle Sr.with a mixture of hatred and fear.

However, he quickly regained his boldness as if a thought had occurred to him.

"If Mr.Wyance knew someone from the Riddle family, it would most definitely be Snow!" he said proudly.

'Snow even got invited by Harvey Ellison to his family's banquet for the upper-class" Dillon thought smugly while looking at Nicole.

"Why would a thief like her know Mr.Wyance? She's not worthy of knowing him!" he said fiercely.
