Dillon glanced at Raine with displeasure and said, "What else is there to do? I'm not going to jail.""No, I didn't mean that," Raine explained. "I meant that we can't just let Damien take advantage of us."Since they knew Damien was the one behind this, they could let Damien suffer the consequences."There's no evidence," Dillon said in a depressed tone. He found out Everett was the one who did it, but he did not have direct evidence against him. He could not convict Everett of the crime. Worst-case scenario, Everett might even make a false counterchange and claim he was making him false accusations, causing more trouble."Are we just going to be forced into silence?" Raine choked with rage, and her teeth clenched in anger.Dillon narrowed his eyes. How could he lose? Even though he did not have any evidence in this matter, he had no intention of taking the fall for Damien."You should leave." Dillon waved his hand, signaling Raine to get out.Raine furrowed her eyebrows but le
Lulu complained in defiance, "He should still be sentenced for poor supervision. He's the president of the company.""At most, he'd be fined." Nicole shrugged. If Dillon was willing to go to jail, he would not have put the charge on someone else."Well, we let him off easy this time," Lulu said depressingly. Though Dillon was obviously at fault, it was upsetting that he was able to avoid punishment.Nicole remained indifferent. "It's alright. The show has just begun.""What?" Lulu blinked her eyes in bewilderment. The case seemed to be closed, awaiting trial and judgment.Seeing Lulu's confusion, Nicole replied cryptically, "We should just sit back and watch the show unfold without getting involved."Lulu blinked her eyes and quickly reacted, "Oh, yeah, I almost forgot about this."Previously, Damien tried to trick Dillon and them. But since Dillon found out about it, how could he let this matter rest?"It's time to clock out. Let's go." Nicole got up calmly. "I have other thin
"Dad, why did you call us here today? Did something happen?" Dexter asked directly after sensing everyone's silence.To be frank, everyone had more or less heard the rumors. But Dexter did not understand why Mr. Riddle Sr. called them back, seemingly wanting to say something after things had already come to an end."I have no idea either. Let Dillon speak." Mr. Riddle Sr.'s expression turned gloomy as he glanced at Dillon."Dillon?" Dexter and Daniel turned their gaze to Dillon, realizing he was the one who gathered them here today.Nicole too realized this fact just now. 'Seems like Dillon has yet to say anything. He must've wanted to directly address Damien in front of everyone. As for me, maybe Grandpa decided to call me back at the last minute, and it had nothing to do with Dillon.'Dillon did not expect Mr. Riddle Sr. to call Nicole back to the Riddle family manor. But since the story had played out like this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and talk.Gritting his te
"Dad, why don't you let Grandpa be the judge of it." Nicole nodded toward Daniel. She understood Daniel was doing it for her. However, Nicole had long been aware of the situation, so she did not feel aggrieved.Receiving Nicole's message, Daniel gritted his teeth and compromised with a sigh. After Nicole finished, the others shifted their attention to Mr. Riddle Sr., waiting for his decision."Dillon, what do you want me to do?" Mr. Riddle Sr. had read all the documents. He still looked calm and composed, so no one could tell his true thoughts on this matter."Dad, Damien has gone too far. Not only did he want to harm me, but he also even wanted to ruin Nicole. If I hadn't got the evidence, I would've never relayed this matter to the headquarters. In that case, I would've not ended up in this situation," Dillon said with a look of remorse and anger.Nicole sneered with a hint of mockery. 'Dillon was quite skilled in shifting the blame to others, attempting to whitewash himself and
"That's your business. If you hadn't framed others, why would your man be in lockup? He's taking the blame for you. This is the sacrifice you have to make. What does it have to do with us?""Well, aren't you simply heartless and malicious? You wanted to kill two birds with one stone, so now you're saying I shot myself in the foot.""Isn't that the truth?""Why, you!"Damien and Dillon's argument slowly heated up. They even seemed like they were going to start fighting physically the next second.Mr. Riddle Sr.'s expression turned gloomy, and he could not endure it any longer. "Shut up! Am I invisible to you?!"The living room was instantly silent. Only Damien and Dillon's rapid breathing could be heard from the early quarrel. Mr. Riddle Sr. glanced at them with displease, thinking, 'They're both simply unfilial bastards. They said they wanted me to administer justice, but both were clearly at fault. What did they want me to do? Punish them each by slapping them eighty times?'"C
"Alright." Mr. Riddle Sr. raised his head to look at his third son.Daniel wanted to leave, but Nicole shook her head toward him. So Daniel sat back down again. In the end, Dillon had no choice but to leave reluctantly.After everyone was gone, Nicole advised Mr. Riddle Sr. with a smooth tone. "Grandpa, you should really leave this matter alone.""How can I not worry? They think they're clever clogs and try to deceive others like fools." Mr. Riddle Sr. was in a horrible mood. Two of his disappointing sons added up were not even as clear-headed as his granddaughter.Mr. Riddle Sr. knew very well that they were intrigued with each other, and tricking Nicole, his precious granddaughter. This knowledge made him so furious that he wanted to kick them out of the house."Grandpa, don't worry. No matter what they do, I'm not a fool," Nicole said with a pouty look, comforting Mr. Riddle Sr.The older man was originally in an irritating mood, but Nicole's words uplifted him."Dad, are you
"I won't. No matter who it was among us, or who would continue the family name. We would help each other in time of need instead of going against each other."'But then again, having to fool everyone wasn't a nice move as I'm not exactly the most favored by everyone here. Realizing how Sean came out to help me, the chances of winning are now higher than ever.'To Nicole, the Riddle family could live up to their names due to her and her brothers. Other than that, she could not envision what the Riddle family would turn out to be if it were to fall into the hands of others.Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole in satisfaction, with a hint of regret in his eyes. 'Only someone like her could pass down the family name. This is a blessing to our family. It's a shame she doesn't see the glory in it.'"Dad, since the kids are still young and you're still in tip top shape, it's still too early to put things into perspective. We can discuss this in the future." Daniel comforted Mr. Riddle Sr.Ev
"I'm not saying that I'm incompetent, but sometimes, your dad here is a little too soft-hearted."'When a person is too kind-hearted, it becomes a weakness where other people can easily manipulate and step over.'Meanwhile, Damien had returned to his residence.Everett had received a call earlier from Mr. Riddle Sr., which gave her the idea that her grandpa knew something regarding the matter.Everett saw her father had returned and said, "Dad, why did Grandpa call us over? Is there something going on?""It wasn't Grandpa. It was your Uncle Dillon." Damien's face turned dark when he mentioned Dillon's name.Everett was confused. "Uncle Dillon?"Damien was fuming, his eyes turned darker as he talked about Dillon's problems."He was caught red handed?"Dillon had completed everything cautiously, nobody even knew what he was up to, even Damien was unable to lay his hands on Nicole. So, the matter now appears to be not as easy as it seems though Damien had not done anything."I o
