'No matter what, I can't suffer with this dumbass. Each time he provokes me, he'll get it from me. Aside from this messy inheritance issue, since neither one of us are willing to budge, he can go to hell with it.'"Everett?" a voice called out.Everett raised his head. He blinked at the person."What's on your mind? I called you so many times," James asked in a worried voice."Oh. I was just thinking about Uncle Dillon's matter..." Everett shook his head, feeling annoyed.Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Everett blankly. "That is final. We're not going to discuss it anymore.""Okay," Everett agreed obediently.Mr. Riddle Sr. did not want to speak anymore, so he ushered everyone to eat. "Alright, let's eat."Dexter suddenly spoke up. "Dad, we're going to head back first. Please take good care of your health."Mr. Riddle Sr. thought to himself, 'Yeah, what did I expect after being plotted against by my own blood? Disappointing...'Mr. Riddle Sr. kept his face straight after discovering
"We know. Is there something you want to assign us to do?" Sean asked with a serious expression.It was evident that Mr. Riddle Sr. had shown his dissatisfaction with Damien and Dillon."This idea of splitting the family inheritance was initially brought up by Nicole, but right now everyone's coming at each other's throats. What's more of a problem right now is that it's going to be a huge problem for us," said Mr. Riddle Sr."Yeah. Don't worry, Grandpa. We know what to do." Sean nodded.Mr. Riddle Sr. did not want the Riddle family to burn down in flames. Naturally, protecting their family name was of utmost priority.Mr. Riddle Sr. was relieved. "That's good."Daniel looked at the stack of documents Everett had brought over. "Dad, can you tell us what's really going on? Why is Dillon..."Mr. Riddle Sr. 's expression hardened. His eyes narrowed, and there was a hint of pain in his eyes. "It's not important anymore."Every time this topic was brought up, it was like daggers pie
"Let's go back and take a look," Nicole said casually. She did not share with anyone that she was about to start a new investigation."This incident kind of hit too close to home for Grandpa," said Spencer, sighing. He sympathized with Mr. Riddle Sr.Her voice serious, Gloria pointed out, "Our family has really had its fair share of problems recently, but I hope that when you babies get married, everyone's able to have a good time."What with the Riddle family affairs, everyone needed time off to wind down."Come to think of it, the wedding is near. It's less than a month away," said Daniel.Gloria's face brightened at the mention of her sons' wedding.Everyone climbed into the car as they chatted among one another.Sean called out to his sister. "Nicole, come with us.""Okay!"Nicole had a hunch that Sean called her over, probably because he had something that he wanted to discuss with her. Nicole went along and climbed onto his car."We come together, we leave together." St
'He was held accountable for all the things he did all by himself, I guess. So I can say he had quite a lot on his plate.'Nicole waved the thought away. "I mean, they're the incompetent ones."'It's our family inheritance. I don't see why they're making such a huge fuss about it just to ruin everything.'"True. Their stupidity and incompetence are incredible."Steve nodded. 'If they had worked harder, things wouldn't turn out like this.'Sean glanced at Steve and Nicole. "Yeah, all of them are incompetent. Only I am competent enough.""Sean, we're going to help you out," Steve said, with a smile."You should learn how to manage a company. I think you can practice with DillCorp when I hand it over to you," said Sean indifferently."You aren't serious about that, are you?!"Steve had been under Sean's wings since he joined the Riddle Corporation. He had minimal experience of how to run a company."Preston will be there too. We can't have him idling around," Sean said, as he st
Jared glanced at Nicole. "Okay, but if you ever run into any problems, the first thing you do is inform me, alright?"Jared knew that he can easily get someone to do errands like these, he wanted to ensure that someone would be there to help Nicole firsthand when she's met with difficulty.On the other hand, Nicole did not want Jared to worry about her. She immediately agreed, "Okay.""You must be exhausted from being out and about the whole day. Come on, let's go to bed," said Jared. There was worry in his eyes.Nicole had just recovered from an injury not long ago. To Jared, Nicole's health was his top priority. He did not want her to overexert herself.Nicole tiredly snuggled up to Jared. She fell asleep soon after.The next day, the sun shone brightly, and Nicole had rested well.Meanwhile, Nolan and Lana did not see their mother yesterday. Both of them got up very early and barged into their parents' room."Mommy, we missed you so much!" The twins engulfed Nicole with a hu
Nicole let out a sigh as she watched the twins walk into the kindergarten. "When we were still on Crescent Island, they always envied other kids who were dropped off and picked up by their parents. Who knew that when we returned home, they'd get to experience it too!""Of course, it's different. They have a mommy and a daddy now. They have no need to envy other children." Jared gently held Nicole in his arms as he comforted her.Nicole glanced at the kindergarten once more. The twins were holding their friends' hands and playing happily. Nicole unconsciously smiled. 'Yeah, it does feel a little different from Crescent Island.'The car's engine revved up and they made their way to Riddle Corporation. When they arrived, Nicole got out of the car and noticed Lulu running towards her.Nicole smiled as she walked closer to Lulu.Lulu bombarded her friend with questions. "How was it? Did you find out what Everett did?"Nicole smiled and shook her head. "Let's go inside and talk."'Thi
"Don't worry about them for now," said Nicole. "They'll most probably be in a mess for the next few days."It was obvious that Harvey was not helping Everett this time around. Nicole was a little curious as to whether the two of them would still collaborate in the future.From the looks of it, Everett seemed to be obeying Harvey's orders. However, Everett was not someone that easily manipulated. He had a mind of his own.Perhaps Harvey could tell that Everett was just flattering him. In fact, Everett was using Harvey's power. Therefore, Harvey purposely agreed to Everett's request but did not bother about the matter. Harvey wanted to use this incident as a warning to Everett.Nicole thought it would be weird if these two could succeed in collaborating. Nonetheless, this was good news to her.Her mind at ease, Lulu then responded, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my desk.""Alright, go ahead." Nicole nodded, and Lulu turned around to leave the office.Leaning on the chai
It was only then that Raine was satisfied. She looked up at James and said in a gentle voice, "Thank you. You're the best!"James lightly patted Raine's shoulder. "Everything's fine, as long as you're okay. Go ahead.""Okay." Raine nodded and left.James followed after her.What Raine had not realized was that the gentle side of James had disappeared a long time ago.That afternoon, the sun shone brightly.KNOCK, KNOCK.Hearing a knock on her door, Nicole frowned. "Come in."It was lunch break. Who could it be?The door opened and Ellar entered merrily. "Nicole, it's me!"Seeing him, Nicole smiled. "Oh, it's you! Have a seat.""Sure!" Ellar sat down on the sofa beside her."What were you trying to say when you were acting mysterious?" Ellar did not want to mention it the day before, so he purposely visited her at the company."Of course, I have good news!" Ellar smiled and said proudly, "I've secured an international project!"Nicole nodded. "That's great news! Congratula
