    Chapter 1568


    Everet, 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 nce.


    ''This Everett. He sure was ying coy back then, and was simply just overshadowed and mistreated


    by Chloe.'' 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 be so reliable?'' he thought.


    In response, Nicole nced at both Damien and Everett.


    ‘You want to throw your weight around here? Very well.


    The gloves are off." Nicole shed them an indifferent smile as she ced her cup down and looked at


    Everett.


    "To be the next master of the house requires strength andpetence.


    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 b 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 thepany.


    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 Nicole''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 for themselves."


    These words struck Damien like a barrage of ps 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-ss family.


    Even after Mr. Riddle Sr. had be powerless in the end, the Riddle family had still not fallen off the


    list of first-ss families.


    It was only until when Damien took over that thepany suffered grievously during the first three


    years of his tenure, causing the Riddle family to be 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?
