Chapter 271 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• Everett blinked his eyes innocently. There was a sense of panic in his voice after being reprimanded by his mother. "Oh, I must have misunderstood Nachelle Holder's statement," he said. Damien's and Miley's expressions softened. Everyone else looked at Damien's family thoughtfully. They did not expect them to be invited to Nachelle Holder's family banquet because the Holder family was one of the noble families in San Joto. Similar to the Johnston family, the Holder family was the oldest member of the high society in Hustuaburg. Mr.Riddle Sr. ignored whether Chloe was kicked out of the cast or not.
• Instead, he squinted his eyes at his eldest son, who did not stop his wife from saying what seemed like an explanation but was an attempt at showing off. "Everyone shut up and eat," he said coldly. All of them quieted down in an instant. Snow and Raine returned to their seats unwillingly when they met their grandfather's gaze. The atmosphere became strange. There was only the sound of tableware and dishes colliding because everyone was in their own thoughts as they ate. Chloe then sent a message to Snow and Raine, "Has she handed over that diamond?" "No, not only did she not admit she took it, she even brought her brothers to intimidate us.Even Preston's on her side," Snow replied.
• "What do you think we should do, Chloe?" Raine asked. Chloe looked up from her phone and glanced at Nicole with an unpredictable, cold gaze. "Don't listen to their nonsense. Maybe her brothers are her accomplices! "Since Preston doesn't care about you two, you two shouldn't care about him either.Just act like he's no longer your brother." After sending that message, Chloe glanced suspiciously at Everett, who was eating his meal. ‘What did he mean just now? Why did he want to embarrass me? If we didn't get the invitation to Nachelle Holder's family banquet, I would have to face everyone's judgment! At that moment, Everett seemed to have noticed Chloe's gaze. He looked up and shot a shy smile at her.
