"I just find it strange that Raine suddenly rushed back to DillCorp," Nicole thought aloud."Yeah, I find that strange too. She left shortly after arriving at the scene," Lulu echoed.After a few seconds, Nicole frowned. "Get someone to check and see what she is up to.""Okay," Lulu replied."As for Dillion's family, you should also pay close attention to them," Nicole added.With eyes as cold as frost, Nicole thought, 'If these people can't play by the rules, they can't blame me for being cruel to them either.'"Okay, but do you think they're trying to pull another d**k move?" Lulu asked.Nodding, Nicole replied, "That possibility can't be ruled out. That much is true."As everyone knew that James had taken DillCorp, the notion of Raine going to DillCorp meant that there was still a chance for them to get a second wind.Lulu sneered. "They're just like gnats we can't seem to get rid of."Meanwhile at Dillon's residence, everyone around the room was tense. Everyone present wa
"Of course. Consider it karma for all the crap he had pulled," said Lulu as she thought, 'It would be understandable if he did this to gain power, but ultimately, his act of betraying his loved one is a step too far.'Nicole chuckled and shook her head. "Alright, that's enough. Everyone must be responsible for their actions and be held accountable for whatever they have done. With that said, he will pay for what he has done."Not wanting to waste any time, Lulu said, "What should we do next? Announce it?"Lulu wanted to know what Nicole's next move was, as James's affairs were rather significant in relation to the business of the Riddle Corporation.Nicole narrowed her eyes. "Yes, we can announce it.""Okay," Lulu agreed in high spirits.'As soon as the news is out, everything will be over once and for all. Dillon's family will be having the shock of their lives as they hear this piece of news,' Lulu thought."Then I shall go and make all necessary arrangements for the news to b
Jared gradually looked down and gently kissed her in the lips. Nicole, in return, closed her eyes and reacted out involuntarily.The next morning, the crisp and clear chirpings of the bird woke them up from their slumber.Nicole opened her eyes to the sight of Jared who had just woken up as well.Looking at each other, Nicole bit her lips and gave him a coy smile. "You're up.""Yeah." Jared gently stroked her hair and handed her a shirt, causing her to blush.After they had gotten out of bed and washed up, they headed downstairs.During breakfast, Lana and Nolan went on to bug Jared and Nicole into sending them to school. Due to how persistent they were, Nicole could not help but to agree to their request.And so, after they had their breakfast, Jared and Nicole proceeded to send the little cuties to school."Mommy, do you have any secrets? Would you mind telling us about them first?" Nolan lifted his head and asked with a curious look on his face."Secrets?" Nicole was a litt
Nicole brought Nolan and Lana down and escorted them to the entrance gate. Once she saw that the teachers had ushered them into the building, she got back into the car and left."These two little ones." Nicole shook her head with a slight smile on her face as she said in a gentle tone."It's time for them to meet the family." Jared said with utmost seriousness.Nicole glanced at him, thinking that Jared was talking about their return to the family manor. With that in mind, she looked to the front without giving the matter more attention that it already had. Upon reaching the headquarters of Riddle Corporation, Nicole got down. Once Jared's car had left, Nicole turned around and entered the building, where she met Lulu as soon as she stepped out of the elevator."Nicole, come here." Lulu waved the document that was in her hands.Nicole shook her head as she responded, "You went and picked it up early this morning?""Yeah." Lulu grinned. "Come on, let's talk inside."After they ha
Jane, however, was a little hesitant. After all, the purpose of the gathering was to discuss Dillon and matters relating to his family members. It was not any regular family gathering, so Jane felt that it was inappropriate for her to be there."Just join us. In the future, you'll have to handle a bulk of stuff in the Riddle family. Tonight, we'll be having what's considered as an extended family gathering. Nolan and Lana will be there too." Sean assured Jane.Hearing this, Jane agreed, "If that's the case, I'll join you then."To add to that, Nicole was planning to reveal Nolan and Lana's identity; thus, it most definitely was an occasion Jane should not miss."You should get back to work now. We'll leave together after office hours.""Sure."Then, Jane agreed and turned around to leave the office.Meanwhile, Nicole and Steve were still making their way back to their rooms."The entire issue with Harlow has not been resolved yet. I'm afraid we'll need a few more days as that s
'Why does everyone seem to be acting weird? Why did Nicole ask me to come here?' Preston thought to himself."We'll wait for Nicole to arrive." Samuel replied, not knowing what to tell Preston either.Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Preston and narrowed his eyes. He was furious when he heard about what Dillion and his family had done. But before he could act upon it, he got wind that James had been caught. So, they could only wait for the police to announce the results.However, Preston seemed to be unbothered by the news, leading them to wonder if he truly had no regard for DillCorp. Even if he did not have the slightest shred of interest in managing it, DillCorp still belonged to his family. There was no way he would sit idly and watch as James seized DillCorp.Meanwhile, Preston was beginning to tremble under Mr. Riddle Sr.'s glare. 'Why do I feel like something bad is about to happen?'"Grandpa." A crisp voice sounded out, snapping everyone out of their thoughts.Everyone looked up
Sean, Steve, Jane, and Sally then made their way to the couch and greeted Mr. Riddle Sr. "Hello, grandpa.""Have a seat." Mr. Riddle Sr. invited, his tone becoming a lot gentler, and his face radiant with smiles.After everyone had settled down, the house butler brought the welcome gifts over, of which both were charms made out of gold and jadeite. The charms themselves were green jades that had been carved into the shape of a locket. The outer rim was framed with pure gold, and the tassels, which were also forged out of 24 carat gold, were dangling below the locket, paired with chains of the same composition.Once the gifts had been revealed, everyone was left in a state of shock. It seemed to them that the presents were prepared a while ago, and not something that anyone could simply whip out of the shelves."Grandpa, this gift..." Nicole paused mid-sentence, taken aback by what she had just seen.After all, Mr. Riddle Sr. had not been privy to Nolan and Lana's existence prior t
"Alright, Nicole. What were you saying?" Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole, and everyone's gaze turned to her.With a stern look on her face, Nicole began, "The truth is, I have assigned someone to keep an eye on James for a while now. So, I'm aware of everything that he has done.""You're aware of everything?" Samuel asked, shocked. "Well, what about the assets he has siphoned from DillCorp?""I'm aware of that too." Nicole nodded. "Because of that, he did not succeed."As expected, those words left everyone dumbfounded. "He did not succeed? What does that mean?""We went straight to the root of the problem and rendered all of James' work and efforts futile. Moreover, he left a trail of crumbs and got himself arrested." Steve shrugged his shoulders and said as if it had all been done effortlessly."So?" Everyone stared at Nicole, their eyes brimming with hope.'Does that mean that DillCorp did not suffer any losses because Nicole had stepped in.'"DillCorp's shares and assets ar
