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.

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.
