Chapter 2072

“That girl’s mind isn’t focused on this matter at all, unlike the others.” First, they wanted to get their hands on the shares, and now they wanted to target the ancestral properties of the Riddle family. ‘What a bunch of selfish wolves.’

“What do you mean, sir?” The butler was a bit puzzled. If the inheritance did not go to Nicole, who did Mr. Riddle Sr. have in mind?

Mr. Riddle Sr. smiled proudly and said meaningfully, “The rule of the Riddle family is that those who are capable shall get the inheritance.”

The butler instantly understood. If Nicole had exceptional abilities, it would naturally be handed over to her. Even if Nicole had no intention to inherit, she was a responsible person who would not shirk away.

After all, this was not just mere wealth. It represented the legacy of the Riddle family. Eventually, Nicole would definitely agree as well.

“You’re extremely meticulous, sir.” The butler sighed.

“Come, let’s have a meal.” Mr. Riddle Sr.’s mood had improved. He was in a bad mood because of the actions of two of his eldest sons, but everything became better when he saw Nicole.

At this moment in the courtyard, Damien and Dillion exchanged hesitant looks.

“Hey, will Dad really give it to whoever is most capable?” Dillion finally said.

“I’ve never been able to understand his intentions. But since he said so, let’s strive for it. Let Dad see our strength, and naturally, he’ll have nothing to say,” Damien responded, preparing to roll up his sleeves and work hard.

Dillion sneered in his heart but nodded on the surface.” You’re right. Well, everything’s settled now, so I’ll head home first.”

“Alright, same here,” Damien agreed.

With that, the two of them headed toward their respective cars with their families.

After getting into the car, Miley asked Damien in a low voice, “Do you think Dad will be biased toward Nicole and secretly help her?”

After all, everyone could see the favoritism Mr. Riddle Sr. showed toward Nicole.

Damien furrowed his eyebrows slightly and looked at her. Miley immediately choked on her words and felt a little uneasy, wondering if she had said something wrong.

“What you said makes sense.” Damien’s eyes flashed with a cold light. Perhaps, he should get someone to keep an eye on things.

Hearing him agree, Miley let out a sigh of relief. After the defeat of her own family, Damien had been cold to her.

Now, things seemed to be easing up a bit.

On the other hand, Dillion glared at Karen and said, “You should speak less from now on. Don’t you understand that the more you talk, the more mistakes you make?”

Mr. Riddle Sr. already disliked them, but Karen just kept running into trouble.

“I’m doing it all for us. If we don’t speak up, Dad might just give everything to Nicole. Now that he knows we’re watching, he’ll restrain himself,” Karen said, unwilling to admit defeat.

“Dad, Mom does make sense. Look, as soon as Nicole appeared today, Grandpa’s expression changed. He doesn’t treat her with the same cold face. I can see that Grandpa is heavily biased toward Nicole,” Raine said bitterly, feeling jealous.

‘That damned Nicole… Why didn’t she die while she was away? If she had died, we wouldn’t have any problems. But she came back, and as soon as she did, she cured Grandpa.

Otherwise, we would’ve already obtained the shares.’
