Chapter 924
Chloe turned to look at Mr. Riddle Sr. “Grandpa , how do you like the Dresden Green Diamond that I
asked Nicole to pass to you the other day?”
Before Mr. Riddle Sr. could say anything, Snow chimed in. “There is no Dresden Green Diamond that
you are talking about. It is only an ordinary diamond.”
Chloe immediately looked at Snow in surprise. “What did you say? An ordinary diamond?”
“Yes. Raine and I were both present that day. Inside the box was just an ordinary diamond,” Snow said
with certainty. At first, Mr. Riddle Sr. wanted to play down the issue, but now it seemed that he could
not.
“Impossible. I looked at it when Henry brought it to me; it was not an ordinary diamond. I even checked
it again on purpose before I handed it to Nicole.” Chloe looked at Snow with a shocked face.
“Nicole, what was Snow just talking about?” Chloe looked at Nicole in disbelief.

The entire family understood what it was about at this point, and they all, including Jared, looked at
Nicole. “When I brought the box to Grandpa and opened it, there was indeed an ordinary diamond
inside,” Nicole said calmly.
“Nicole, what are you talking about? When I took it to you, it was no ordinary diamond. I told you to be
careful; have you forgotten all that?” Chloe looked at her with a puzzled face and a questioning look in
her eyes.

“Why would Chloe want to self–loot? Did you take it and didn‘t dare to admit it, Nicole?” Snow held a
grudge against Nicole for stealing Harvey from her, so she stood on Chloe‘s side.
“Yeah, Chloe wouldn‘t take her own stuff. Explain to everyone quickly; did something happen on the
way? If something has really happened and you have lost the diamond, Chloe won‘t blame you.” Norah
appeared to be speaking for Nicole, but in reality, was trying to convince others that Nicole had
tampered with it.
Jared wanted to help Nicole, but he did not know what was going on and had no way to defend her,
except to feel anxious for Nicole.
“I can‘t believe this is happening, Nicole. Did you see the diamond and want to take it as your own?”
Karen pointed at Nicole. In her mind, it was Nicole who swapped the Dresden Green Diamond with an
ordinary one, as a girl like Nicole from the countryside would most likely steal when she saw such
expensive stuff.
“It seems like you all know Chloe well enough to think I have tampered with it, doesn‘t it?” Nicole cast
an icy look at them.
“Let me ask you guys; what does Chloe like?” She looked at each of them, but none of them, not even
Miley, could answer.
“No one knows, do you? If you all don‘t know, what makes you think she is not a suspect? Is it just
because she was the one who entrusted it to me?”
“Since immemorial , embezzlement has happened again and again. You all suspect me with no proof.
Are you all doing it intentionally?” Nicole glanced at their faces, and none of them dared to meet her
eyes. “I will find out the truth and clear my name, but I will also not let the bad guys get the punishment
they deserve.”
“Grandpa , thank you for inviting us. We have things to do, so we will leave now,” Nicole said, standing
up with Jared and leaving straight away. “You all have ruined the family gathering. Is a diamond that
important?” Mr. Riddle Sr. was furious.
“Alfred , find out what has actually happened. I want to punish those who cause disharmony in the
family severely,” he said coldly and went upstairs.
Silence fell in the living room. No one expected Mr. Riddle Sr. to lose his temper like this. Everyone at
the table looked at each other, and no one knew what to do.
“We will leave first,” Daniel spoke after a long while as he left with his family. His three elder brothers
were seeing Daniel‘s sour face for the first time.
