Nicole scoffed. "I can't see any sincerity in him at all. How could he send his little brother to talk to me?"Besides, Ryder was pretty skillful himself, and Nicole wanted to know more about him because he might come in handy.Nonetheless, she stopped thinking about that and went downstairs to exit the building, and that was when she heard someone shouting at her before they could even make their way to the school gate. "Nicole, stand right there!"Nicole knew that it was Ryder judging by his voice. However, she ignored him and kept walking.Ryder got so mad that he came off his high horse as a senior and rushed up to her to stand in her way. "Stop!"Other students who were still on campus shifted their gaze at them at that instant.They probably knew how embarrassed Ryder was in the morning, but they were not expecting to find Ryder with a band-aid on his nose bridge. Worse still, the band-aid really did make him look funny.Nicole looked at him coldly, after which, she lifted
Ryder took the USB drive and his eyes immediately widened. "Automatic operation?"'She isn't sh*tting me, right?''How can an antivirus program work automatically once it's inserted into a USB slot?'"Don't believe me? Give it back then," Nicole said as she reached to take the USB drive back.But Ryder immediately pulled his hand back. "I believe you!"He was absolutely desperate already."Alright, I'll be heading off first then. Remember, you owe me one. And you can't refuse me if I need your help in the future." Nicole gave him a playful glance.Ryder could only sigh. "Got it."'This Nicole, she's a total vixen. She set this virus up on me and now, in exchange, she wants me to help her in undoing the damage.'But for the project data he had inside his laptop, he could only agree to that.Without thinking about it any further, Ryder hurriedly left the school, got into his car and left.Looking at Ryder seemingly scampering away, Nicole could not help but snigger. "The pro g
"You've never thought of targeting them, but you didn't think letting them have allowed them to get stronger? Now even we are being affected by that!" Dillon growled. "What do you plan to do about this? My project got taken away by the Fisher family and I've lost close to a million! Damien lost even more."When Dillon said that, he did not forget to use Damien as ammunition as well.Seeing that the two were clearly here to cause trouble, Sean hissed somewhat angrily, "There's always ups and downs in business. My father hadn't anticipated this and you're now pushing the blame on him, Uncle Dillon?"When Dillon heard that, he blew his top. "What do you mean by that? You're saying I'm pushing my responsibility to him?"Karen, who had followed Dillon here, initially did not want to speak, but seeing that her husband was on the back foot, she could not help but interject. "Who's actually pushing their responsibility aside is still up in the air! If you two weren't butting heads with the
Immediately, everyone realized that Nicole had a point!'Yeah, they suffered losses because of their own incompetence, and now they're blaming it on us?'Damien noticed his name being dragged into the mud and could not stay silent. He said coldly, "Nicole, you don't understand what's going on in the company. The Fisher family had recently contacted our partners leading to their turn. And all in all, the one in conflict with the Fisher family is your family, and both your Uncle Dillon and I suffered collateral damage. This you can't deny."When Damien put it that way, Dillon poured more fuel into the fire. "Damien's right. If you didn't make enemies out of the Fisher family, our projects would've been intact! Why are your family's issues affecting us?"As soon as those words came out, Nicole's eyes turned dark as her entire aura caused the air in the room to turn icy.Sensing that Nicole was displeased, Mr. Riddle Sr. could only sigh. "Enough. What are you arguing for? You're all b
It was especially true for Damien and Dillon. Dexter, who had been listening by the side and not speaking, had no intention to participate in this skirmish. But when he heard about splitting the family up, it was a huge matter and he could not help but stand up. "Nicole, you're still young, you must be calm when dealing with trouble..."Nicole looked at Dexter. The latter's family was always fair toward her family and had never bullied her parents, but there were some things that even they could not help.Nicole lowered her tone as she looked at Dexter. "I won't force you if you don't want to split up, Uncle Dexter, but today, I'll represent my parents in asking to split away from Uncle Damien and Uncle Dillon. Each family shall only deal and profit from their projects, and no longer have anything to do with one another henceforth."Mr. Riddle Sr. was slightly taken aback. He never thought that this little girl could be so stubborn and decide upon such an important matter just like
Karen crashed straight onto the coffee table, toppling it over!In an instant, all of the cups on the tabletop fell to the ground and shattered!And Karen, by a stroke of fate, knelt straight onto the shattered fragments!"AHHHH!!!" Karen screeched in pain as the blood from her cut knees was smeared all over the floor!"Karen!" Dillon immediately rushed to help Karen up and sat her on the sofa before glaring angrily at Nicole. "What have you done?!"Nicole rolled her eyes at him. "Are you blind, Uncle Dillon? Aunt Karen was the one who wanted to hit me just now. Serves her right!" Since they were already being so absolutely shameless, there was no need for her to hold back any longer!"You! Looks like you're in need of a slap!" Dillon was so pissed off, he raised his hand and slapped Nicole!Who knew that Nicole was already planning not to let them go easily today?Nicole immediately grabbed Dillon's hand, and a loud crack rang out. Dillon screamed in pain. "ARGH!!! What are yo
"Dad! You can't just leave!" Dillon was still screaming for Mr. Riddle Sr.Yet, the old man only glanced at him before walking away, feeling dour.'He's always so ungrateful. It's high time to teach him a lesson,' he thought.Seeing that Mr. Riddle Sr. had left just like that, Dillon despaired. He then turned to Damien and yelled, "Damien, say something, damn you!"However, at this moment, Damien saw that things had already passed the point of no return as he said with a pale face. "Dillon, Dad has already agreed to that... and I'm powerless. I'll call an ambulance for you."The only thing he could do now was help Dillon call an ambulance to take him away from this place."WHAT?!" Dillon was totally stunned. Even Damien no longer planned to help him!The sight caused Dexter to feel ill. As someone with hemophobia, he felt a little sick. "Daniel, I'm feeling sick from the sight of blood, I'll be heading off first. I'll leave the final decision of this matter to you all."He was
At this instant, Dillon found himself speechless as he was carried away.Calm finally returned to the house after everyone had left.Gloria's face was pale and seeing that she was not doing so well, Daniel helped her upstairs to rest.Steve, on the other hand, heaved a sigh of relief. "Awesome work there, Nicole. Thank goodness you came back in time."Otherwise, their parents would have just been toyed about by Uncle Damien and Uncle Dillon."Yeah, I totally didn't expect you to use this opportunity to seek a split of the family."Stanley also had a look of admiration on his face.He had recently felt things were very unfair. He, his father and elder brothers were breaking their backs at work and yet when it came to the yearly dividends, they still needed to give Damien and Dillon a big piece of the pie.Their greed knew no bounds and today, they got their comeuppance!"If we didn't split up the family, are we supposed to continue letting them leech from us?" Nicole had lost a
