Chapter 563 After years of burgeoning, Christo thought he could still put the Riddle family in its place even if he was
not as powerful as before.
Sebastian watched in silence and understood what was really going on. He looked at Christo, who still did not see
him but talked to himself, as if he had been immersed in his own world.
Sebastian frowned. Just as he was about to say something to Christo, the door of the Riddle Mansion suddenly
opened and a cold and forceful voice came.
“Christo, you’ve never changed, have you?”
Christo shivered subconsciously upon hearing the voice. He immediately turned around and almost fainted when he
saw Maximillian walk toward him.

the Riddle family’s party. Many of them were not worried because they had made no mistake. ‘We’ve made the
right decision to come here, especially with the presence of the patriarch of the Johnston family in the Riddle
family’s party.’ Maximillian looked at Christo with a grim face.
But Christo’s face looked even grimmer, and he was under pressure when he saw Maximillian. “W-What are you
doing here?” Mr. Johnston Sr. sneered, handed the invitation card to a server, and then looked at Christo coldly.
“What am I doing here? I’m invited here, unlike someone who has come unsolicited.” He did not spare another
glance at Christo and went up to talk to Mr. Riddle Sr., as if they were close to each other.
Many people looked at what happened and suddenly remembered what they had heard many years ago; it was
rumored that the Riddle and the Johnston families had a close relationship. Now it seemed to be true.
People’s attitude toward the Riddle family changed all of a sudden. Everyone was thankful that they had made the
right choice to come. Many families did not come to the party because they did not want to be seen lowering
themselves to mingle with the Riddle family. Many of them who came wondered how those who had chosen not to
come would feel when they learned that Sebastian and Mr. Johnston Sr. were also here.
While Mr. Johnston Sr. was talking to Mr. Riddle Sr., his eyes lit up with surprise when he saw Nicole was there. “Are
you Nicole?” he asked.
Nicole looked at the old man and could feel his friendliness. So she nodded and said hello.
Maximillian finally met Nicole in person. He looked at her with interest.
Just then, a familiar voice came from the side. “Mr. Johnston Sr., it’s been a long time since we last met.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaximillian turned his head and was surprised to see Sebastian in casual wear standing next to Nicole. He was too
focused on Nicole and had not noticed Sebastian.
Sebastian is also here?’ Mr. Johnston Sr. was startled for a second. He then looked at Sebastian and let out a
meaningful smile. “It seems that my grandson’s worries are unfounded.”
With Sebastian here, and even if he did not come, the Rogers family could still not bully the Riddle family easily.
Sebastian let out a smile. Mr. Riddle Sr. thought for a second and immediately knew what was on the Johnston
family’s mind.
