Chapter 459 As the bell-like voice sounded, the door to the Rogers Mansion vestibule slammed open. Everyone was drawn to
the sound, and all of them looked out in unison. Mr. Rogers Sr. also looked out the door with anger, wanting to know who was so
daring to defy his order and storm into the house.
His face changed abruptly upon seeing who the person was.
“Maximillian?”
‘Isn’t the old man in a gray-blue business suit with a thick eyebrow Maximillian, the patriarch of the Johnston family? What is he
doing here?’ Mr. Rogers Sr. looked abruptly over at Mr. Riddle Sr in disbelief. He glanced up and down at Mr. Riddle Sr. several
times before he could barely withdraw his gaze.
‘Is he coming for the Riddles? Impossible. The Johnstons have always thought they are above everyone else. Even if Maximilian
and Benjamin had a close relationship with each other before, the Johnston family isn’t what it used to be; it is impossible for
them to come here for the sake of the family. He must be here for something else.’
He forced himself to calm down. Just when he was to say hello, Mr. Johnston Sr. preempted Mr. Rogers Sr.’s response by
looking at him with an expression as if he were looking at a greedy hyena. “What did you just say? Even God can’t save the
Riddle family from you?” Mr. Johnston Sr. gently gestured to Karlo, who was beside him, and Karlo whistled aloud.
Soon, two rows of well-built men entered the vestibule, each looking ferocious. The bodyguards of the Rogers family almost went
weak at the knees to see this.
Mr. Johnston Sr. put his hands behind his back and looked coldly at Mr. Rogers Sr.
“Since God won’t do, what about me? Am I qualified enough to take the Riddles away?”
Mr. Rogers Sr. was flustered, as he did not expect Mr. Johnston Sr. would come for the Riddles. Looking at the team of men that
surrounded his house, he knew that this was not an empty threat, as Mr. Johnston Sr. never did things by verbal threats but with
his fists. The Riddle family did not expect things would take such a dramatic shift. He looked at Mr. Johnston Sr. with his mouth
agape. ‘I can’t believe that it’s the Johnston family!’
He had thought he would be done for here today, not expecting there was still a way out, and Mr. Johnston Sr. would come here
and even say that he would take him away.
Damien and Dexter exchanged a glance. Both of whom had heard about Mr. Johnston Sr. They knew that the Johnston and the
Riddle families once had some connection, but after the Johnston family rose to become the top dog in San Joto, the interaction
between the Riddle and the Johnston families had basically stopped. So they had never seen Mr. Johnston Sr. in person. But
since Mr. Rogers Sr. had just called out his name, everyone surely knew who was here to save them.
Just that the Johnstons had become the most powerful family and had nothing to do with the Riddle family except for the
engagement contract that could never be materialized. ‘So why would Mr. Johnston Sr. want to come to help us?’ Everyone
looked at Mr. Johnston Sr. with a mixture of gratitude and a faint sense of puzzlement.
Mr. Rogers Sr. was sweating profusely and was so frightened that he was out of his senses. He even nearly stumbled upon
hearing that Mr. Johnston Sr. had come to the Riddle family’s rescue
He could not believe that the Riddle family still had such a good relationship with Mr. Johnston Sr. that he wanted to come for
them. He suddenly slapped a bodyguard beside him with the back of his hand. “What’s the matter with you? Ask your men to
step aside now!”
