"Hmph, so you were going to tell me after all," Maximillian complained, pretending to be haughty.
However, deep down he was pleased with Jared's request.
Jared raised his eyebrows slightly and teased, "If you're not keen on it, I could always ask Mr. Riddle
Sr. to—"
"What nonsense is that? These are the children of the
Johnston family! Why should you let that old man host the banquet?" Maximillian protested in anger,
instantly showing his dissatisfaction.
"I'll consider this as your agreement to host the banquet then," Jared stated calmly, laughing secretly in
his heart.
Maximillian knew he was set up by Jared and grunted, "Of course."
Nicole could not help but laugh at Maximillian's childish behavior, "Grandpa, they'll be called Nolan and
Lana Johnston from then on."
"Yes, I'll announce to everyone that they're Nolan Johnston and Lana Johnston. Both are my precious
babies. Let's see who dares mess with them in the future," Maximillian said proudly.
After discussing the return banquet, the family had dinner with Maximillian The once desolate Johnston
family manor was now livelier and cozier with the family's presence.
Time soon arrived for the return banquet. Although they had limited time to prepare, with the Riddle
family's hard work, everything was thoroughly prepared.
An endless stream of people entered the hotel to attend the event.
With brilliant lights and shadows flickering, people greeted each other warmly and clinked their glasses.
The members of the Riddle family welcomed the guests who in turn, congratulated them. The
atmosphere was lively and festive.
"There's the pair of angels!" someone shouted, directing everyone's gaze toward the entrance.
Jared was carrying Lana while Nicole walked beside him, holding Nolan's hand in her right hand. The
family of four slowly approached, putting people in awe of their beauty.
"When I saw those two children the other day, I simply thought they resembled Mr. Johnston."
"Why, you don't say! They really look more and more alike."
Hearing everyone's comments, Jared and Nicole remained calm and brought the kids to the front of the
room, where Maximillian was waiting for them.
"Alright now. The protagonists of tonight's banquet have all arrived. Let the return banquet officially
begin!" the host announced. He then raised his voice to say, "Firstly, let's welcome Mr. Johnston Sr. to
introduce the young master and young miss."
Maximillian took the microphone and said with full vitality, ’ Let me introduce to everyone Nolan
Johnston, my great- grandson, and Lana Johnston, my great-granddaughter!"
Congratulations echoed through the crowd, filling the room with thunderous applause. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"Thank you, all!" Maximillian said, chuckling. "Besides that, Nolan Johnson is the future heir of the
Johnston family."
"Looks like Mr. Johnston Sr. really loves this great-grandson. " Everyone was surprised but also found it
reasonable and started smiling.
Maximillian proudly explained, "Of course, I love him very much. Our Nolan will be excellent in the
future. He'll be the most talented person in San Joto."
"Mr. Johnston was a prodigy. Naturally, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
"You're right. You can tell the young master is extraordinary at first glance."
Everyone praised and could not help but marvel at how remarkable the Johnston family was. Nolan,
despite his young age, exuded such a calm and composed aura, even with the spotlight on him on
such an occasion.
The adorable Lana, who was being carried by Jared, looked more approachable, but she was still not
like an ordinary child.
"Hold on a second," an abrupt voice rang out.
Maximillian frowned, looking in the direction of the voice. ’ What are you up to, Benjamin Riddle? Are
you trying to steal my thunder?"
"I have something to say." Mr. Riddle Sr. came over and took the microphone roughly. "Although Nolan
and Lana are children of the Johnston family, they are also the Riddle family's children. Therefore..."
