Jared was surprised to see the Holders coming forward, but he did not show his displeasure openly.
The item that Nachelle had gifted them was actually a classical painting that bore a history of more
than a thousand years. As expected, it was a priceless work of art.
Lloyd was appalled by the gesture. ‘What's wrong with mom? Why would she give Nicole such an
expensive gift?’
Furthermore, if he remembered correctly, that particular painting was his grandfather's favorite.
It was only then that Lloyd realized that something was not right. 'So many members from the Riddle
family are here today, and all of them are dressed in the most decadent garments. What's going on?’
Nicole looked at Nachelle, and was about to decline the gift when he took the painting with a smile, as
he knew what Nachelle was thinking. "I'll accept this gift on behalf of Nicole. Young people like her don't
know howto appreciate works of art like this.”
Nicole knew that her grandfather did not wish to offend anybody who was present today. She also
understood that the Riddle family would be very powerful if all of them could be on their side in the
future.
Thus, she did not stop Mr. Riddle Sr. from doing what he did. Regardless of what would happen after
the crest had been decrypted and severed from her name, there was little point in making any enemies.
For that reason alone, she allowed Mr. Riddle Sr. to take that painting. Besides, Mr. Riddle Sr. also
looked as though he loved that painting very much.
"Thank you, Mrs. Holder and Mr. Lloyd." Nicole said, giving the mother and son duo a slight nod to
express her gratitude.
Nachelle's mood immediately improved. ‘Even though Nicole is still so young, she's a very polite and
courteous lady. She did not allow the power that comes from being the possessor of the Fire Crest to
get to her head.’
‘Unfortunately, my son is not lucky enough to be with her. If Lloyd had married her, my family would be
the one standing here proudly with the Riddles, not the Johnstons!’ she thought.
As the night went on, more and more people began to surround them, each bearing gifts which they
would then present to Nicole.
Meanwhile, Harvey felt very uncomfortable after seeing how popular Nicole was. ‘Why do I feel that
Nicole has become so out of reach after just one night?’
Mr. Ellison Sr. then came over to him. "Why are you still standing here? Everyone is giving them gifts
now. Where's the gift I've told you to bring?"
Soon after, Harvey came around and hurried off to give Nicole the gift with his grandfather beside him.
Martin filled his name in the gift list before coming inside because he wanted to keep a low profile for
his family while everybody else were gushing in, wishing to hand their gifts to Nicole in person,
Concurrently, Edwin turned to Preston, who was standing beside him, and said, "Tsk, tsk. You have
such a powerful relative. You've got to be so proud right now.”
Preston looked very confused.
Indeed, he had come to the banquet with his parents without knowing what was happening. "What do
you mean?”
"Tsk, tsk. Stop pretending like you don't know," Edwin said, thinking that Preston was just acting.
"Nicole is the new owner of the fire crest!"
Preston became even more puzzled upon hearing what Edwin had said. "Fire crest? Like in a video
game? I have no idea what you're talking about."
Edwin's eyes widened as soon as he realized that Preston was really oblivious to what was happening.
"Are you serious? Do you really not know anything about the Reby Family Crest?! Every family that has
been around for more than a thousand years would record the lore of the Reby Family Crest and store
it in their family archives!”
Preston was taken aback after Edwin had mentioned the Reby Family Crest. He had taken glimpses of
his family's genealogy when he was eight, but he did not remember what was written in there at all!
"I can’t recall..." Preston said with his brows furrowed.
Suddenly, Ellar appeared out of nowhere, and asked, "Reby Family Crest? What's that?"
