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
'I have no place in this company at all!'"No... No... Dad won't do this to us..." Miley was still trembling, her face in disbelief.Damien, however, let out a frenzied laugh. "What sort of father is he? He got me to manage the company when it wasn't doing well, and now that business is booming, he handed it to Daniel instead! That old coot!"Damien had always respected Mr. Riddle Sr. and had never been so angry before!"My love, you have an idea on how to deal with this, right?" Miley grabbed onto Damien's hand. "We can't split the family up... It'll be over for us if that happens..."All of their projects were affected now and they will most likely not be able to secure any good projects from now on, with all of the best projects going to Daniel and his family.He did not want to just be parasites that only get a few million a year at the mercy of others!Damien's eyes turned gloomy as he looked outside the window. "It's not like I don't have an idea... Worse comes to worst, w
Gary felt Nicole's support and close proximity to him, and suddenly felt very warm inside...But the paralyzing pain surging across his body made it very hard for him to enjoy this moment of tenderness as he staggered to the infirmary, helped by Nicole.Thankfully, Gary was fine. Nicole gave him a checkup and a few needle technique pricks later, Gary's complexion improved somewhat.The school doctor already knew Nicole's medical skills and only stood aside.After pulling out the needles, Gary turned to Nicole. "Did you know the water was electrified so you leaped over it?"Nicole shook her head. "There were a lot of pranks today, so I was on guard, but I did not expect these were not pranks..."'This is horrible. Don't they know that electric shocks could kill?'Gary looked miserable. "If only I was a little more alert. Fortunately for me, you were around. Otherwise there'll be no one there just now and I'll be dead..."Nicole's face turned gloomy. If she was passing by herself
While speaking, Ryder had already whipped out his phone and made a call.At that moment, a voice came from upstairs."No. Please, no..."Everyone lifted their heads and noticed a little girl crying out of fear at the university section."Who's that?""I don't know her..."There were a lot of eyes on her.However, Nicole had already recognized who that girl was.'It's the girl who follows Snow around every day!'True enough, once that girl spoke, Snow rushed over. "Alverlyn! Stop spitting nonsense!"However, that girl panicked so much that she began to tear up."Snow...you're not afraid of the Finley family, but my family has a partnership with them. If my parents found out that I framed one of the Finley family members, they'd kill me!" The girl cried loudly as she spoke those words.Ryder was furious. He immediately rushed up the stairs.Nicole did not expect the culprit to be exposed this soon. Initially, she thought that someone would only call Ryder later. However, Ryd
At that moment, Snow was also terrified by Nicole's gaze. She could no longer bear it and began saying, "Nicole! What do you mean? Are you trying to lead Alverlyn to blame someone else for what she did?""Whether I'm leading her or not, you have the answer in your heart," replied Nicole coldly. Then, she turned toward Alverlyn. "If I'm not wrong, the reason you deliberately caused an electricity leakage was not to get rid of Gary, right?"Alverlyn immediately nodded. "Yes! I really didn't target Gary! Ryder, you have to believe me!"Ryder was stunned. "Then, who were you targeting?"Alverlyn subconsciously turned to Nicole. "I-it was Nicole."Nicole smiled. "But we don't have any feud or disagreements between. There's no reason for you to hurt me. Isn't that so?"Hearing Nicole's persuasive tone when speaking to Alverlyn, Snow became anxious. "What are you trying to say? Are you implying that I have beef against you?"Nicole broke into laughter. "I never said that. You said it y
However, Ryder still seemed furious. "She had hurt my brother! I can't forgive her that easily!"'Did you really think that the Finley family is one you can toy with?'Nicole laughed and replied to Ryder, "Gary's fine. He was putting on a show just now. I think he should be sent back here by the ambulance soon."Sure enough, as soon as Nicole finished speaking, an ambulance siren came from the school's gate and drove in.Gary got down from the ambulance with flair. Then, he looked up to the third floor and saw Nicole standing there with Ryder. He shouted, "Have you caught the culprit?"After he said those words, Snow finally came to a realization. "All... all of you purposely lured Alverlyn to confess just now! Gary's fine!"Nicole glanced at Snow. "I guess you're not that dumb after all. However, it's too late for that. Go, pack your things, and leave quietly!"These two sisters, Nicole had given them way too many second chances! And yet they did not appreciate any of it, so no
"There's more to it." Nicole said coldly. "I've also told Grandpa about what she did to Gary. I guess Snow would precede Raine and be driven out of San Joto."A family member like this would ruin the Riddle family's image. Mr. Riddle Sr. would never keep them by his side!When Spencer and Samuel found out that those two evil girls, Raine and Snow, might be sent away, they felt a huge sense of relief. "For people like them, they deserve to be sent away as far as possible!"Nicole leaned on the chair, relaxed. "I agree. Now, their family should tone down a little already."Soon, Nicole had arrived at home.When the family members found out about Snow's incident, they began to discuss and question. Once they heard that Snow wanted to hurt Nicole, they were enraged."How could Uncle Dillon have such an evil pair of daughters? They even thought of electrocuting Nicole to death?" Stanley's face was fuming."This is too much...We're already being too nice to them by just sending them o
Stanley, who was beside, commented, "Although the other party has great interest in working with the Riddle Corporation, our lowest offer had been exposed during the last two biddings. Then, the other party would offer a higher price than us. Even if others would like to choose us, they'd consider the cost too."Nicole immediately fell into deep thought. "So there was such a situation. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"Daniel let out a deep sigh. "You're still studying and busy with shooting as well. You're quite busy already. Also, your grandpa had already mentioned that when it comes to the company's matters, you'll only get involved after you've graduated and entered the company. For now, we're still around to take care of it."Nicole could tell that her father and brothers were protecting her and trying to not make her worry.It was only then that Nicole let out a sigh. "But this kind of matter is a piece of cake for me. Give me their company's name and I'll be able to find out
