Chapter 970 “Nicole, it is not too late for you to admit it, and it‘s not a shame to apologize to Grandpa in public.”
“You won‘t be the only one to be embarrassed if you are exposed later.” Chloe climbed on her high horse and
swept her eyes at Nicole and then at Mrs. Wallace Sr.
Nicole smirked and asked rhetorically, “Chloe, if you admit it now, I can plead for you in front of grandpa. Grandpa
is in a good mood today. Maybe he won‘t punish you heavily. If not, you won‘t be the only one to lose face
later.”
Chloe did not expect Nicole to ask her back, her heart skipping a beat, and she quickly adjusted her state of mind.
She had hidden the real diamond, and no one knew where it was except her. So she thought Nicole must be
bluffing
“Nicole, I think you‘re drunk without drinking. Since you suspect me, prove it to everyone.” Chloe challenged Nicole,

“Okay, at first, I did not want to say anything. But since you have asked for it, I will make it happen.” Nicole looked
Chloe in the eyes with a sneer.
“Here‘s what happened: before I left the country, Chloe asked me to bring a rare Dresden Green Diamond to
grandpa. As I was in a hurry, I didn‘t open it to confirm. After I got it to grandpa , I opened it and saw that it was an
ordinary diamond. Snow and Raine can testify to it.” Nicole paused for a moment to look at them. Raine quickly
stood up, as this was the best chance to embarrass Nicole. “I can testify that when we opened the box that day, it
was indeed an ordinary diamond inside, so we deduced Nicole had swapped it midway. Grandpa was also present at
that time.”
“What?” The others who were present heard this and looked at Nicole in shock.
“Nicole, how dare you swap Grandpa‘s diamond? You‘re so shameless . You even hit Raine the other day. I don‘t
understand why the Riddle family has someone like you.” Karen took advantage of the issue and took out her anger
on Nicole.
“Nicole hit Raine?!” All the elders stepped out to criticize Nicole.
“Be quiet. Let Nicole finish her sentence.” Mr. Riddle Sr. knocked his staff on the ground.
Nicole ignored them and looked at Raine with a straight face. “You can now sit down.”
“I‘m sure, at this point, you all think that I must have switched the diamond midway, right?”
“Who else could it be but you? Would Chloe swap the
diamond she gave to her grandfather?” Damien glared at Nicole.
“I have to correct you here. It wasn’t Chloe who gave the diamond to Grandpa. It was Henry. He asked her to
deliver the diamond. She ran into me, so she asked me to deliver it on her behalf.”
“Isn‘t it the same? She ran into you. It‘s not like she knew you were going to show up beforehand.” Snow was quick–

“You‘re right. How did she know I was bound to show up there?”
“This is the CCTV footage I took out of the building, so you all can watch it.” Nicole handed a flash drive to the
family butler.
Chloe‘s heart skipped a beat. She had had the building‘s CCTV footage cleaned up, so she wondered where Nicole
had gotten it from.
On the TV next to the living room, the family butler played the CCTV footage from the days leading up to the day of
the incident. Nicole walked out. “Since the video is a little longer, please fast–forward it.
“Stop. Everyone, this was the time I went to see Jared. Now keep playing “Stop! Here‘s a shot of Chloe watching me
from the side,
covering her face, but her shoes give her away. She was having an endorsement shoot of the new shoes of
Johnston Group, so these shoes were not available on the market. Only during the endorsement shoot did she have
the opportunity to wear them. Continue the video.”
“Nonsense. That wasn‘t me at all. I was wearing flip flops that day.” Chloe saw a flaw and retorted.
