Chapter 755
‘Yet, Mr. Johnston Sr. suddenly wanted to hold a banquet to announce his successor.’
‘That probably will confuse everyone. Who is he going to name as his successor?’
Seeing Nicole’s expression turn glum, Sean knew that Nicole was thinking about something within, yet he still
pretended to be calm and said, “It’s difficult for us outsiders to interfere with the matters of the Johnston family, but
we still need to attend the banquet.”
After all, Mr. Johnston Sr. had helped them before and attended the Riddle family’s banquet as well. How could they
not attend this when even Mr. Riddle Sr. was the one personally making the trip?
“I understand. I will attend it.” Nicole nodded. She knew that with her current relationship with Jared, it was indeed
time for her to get a clearer picture of his situation.
She could not just always have Jared help her out. She should find a way to help him back as well.
“Good then. Get ready in these few days.” Daniel smiled genially.

Nicole nodded. She knew that she must not cause the Riddle family to lose face, and so she needed to be prepared.

The next afternoon, Nicole brought bags of items Gloria had prepared for her back to school as she planned to go
back to the dormitory to familiarize herself with the matters she needed to deal with on Monday.
However, just as she got off the car at the school gate, she was blocked by a car.
Nicole frowned as she looked at the black car. She could tell at a glance its license plate meant that this was no
ordinary person’s car.
Soon, a slim figure came down from the car.
This was the first time Joyce saw Nicole, but the moment she saw her, Joyce could not help but be surprised.
So, the Nicole that could influence Mr. Wyance is actually a girl about eighteen to nineteen years old, and she… is
such a beauty.’
Even as a lady, Joyce found herself to be a little jealous.
She bit her lips and puffed up the chest she was proud of as she tried to make her look imposing as she said,
“You’re Nicole?”
Nicole raised an eyebrow as she looked at Joyce’s arrogant look and was instantly put off. “Yes, and who are you
again?”
Her rather discourteous response caught Joyce by surprise. Are young ladies these days all so arrogant?’
However, at this point, she could only grit her teeth and say, “We’ve not met before, but I’m sure you’ve heard of
the McCarthy family, right?”
“You’re from the McCarthy family?” Nicole eyed her coldly. It was only just Saturday when Sean spoke about them,
and she did not expect someone from the McCarthy family to look for her so soon.
“Yes, I’m a daughter of the McCarthy family, Joyce McCarthy.” Joyce proclaimed her name as she proudly crossed
her arms before her.
Yet, Nicole did not even pay her any heed. “And?”
Upon seeing Nicole was totally unperturbed, Joyce could not help but feel a little frustrated.
After taking a deep breath, she calmed down somewhat. “I’m here to see who’s this person from the Riddle family
that managed to sway Mr. Wyance. I never thought that she’d be just a brat.”
Nicole looked at Joyce’s deliberately contemptuous look and said icily, “If I’m a brat, you don’t look much older than
me either, no?”
She looked like she was about Martin’s age, twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

there was no longer a need to continue with the meaningless banter as she said, “Let’s cut to the chase. The
reason I’m looking for you is that I know where you stand in Mr. Wyance’s heart and your status in the Riddle family.
We’ll just consider the McCarthy family lost the last round. Recently, there’s a new real estate project, and the
McCarthy Corporation plans to work together with the Riddle family. Help me send the word back and see if they
are willing to work with us or not. If they are, the McCarthy Corporation will split forty-sixty with the Riddle
Corporation.”
Nicole looked at Joyce with her smug look and felt a little disgusted.
She knew the situation with the McCarthy family, and they were hoping to use this project to turn things around, so
how could the Riddle Corporation step into this trap?
So it seemed like Joyce was treating her as a normal high school student and wanted to hoodwink her and use her
relationship with Mr. Wyance to influence his family’s decision.
She could not be bothered to think too much as Nicole spoke, “No need.”
Joyce’s originally gleeful face suddenly froze. “What did you say?”
