Chapter 2073

“Tch, you just had to tag along even though we told you not to. If you weren’t there, Nicole wouldn’t have heard anything. You’re the sole reason Nicole had a reason to stay behind.” Dillion glared at Raine.

“Nicole would’ve stayed if Grandpa wanted her to. Could you have driven her away?” Raine retorted, sounding offended.

“Raine.” James gently tugged on Raine’s arm, signaling her to stop talking.

Dillion grunted disdainfully. “She’s useless.”

After saying that, Dillion stormed toward his car, and Karen could only follow along.

Raine, who had been scolded continuously, became red with anger. She resented why she always had bad luck whenever Nicole was involved!

“Raine, you heard Grandpa just now.” Now that everyone had left, James discarded his previous timid demeanor, and his scheming eyes lit up.

“So what, if I heard it?” Raine replied angrily. What did it have to do with her? She came back just because she heard that they were dividing the family’s assets and she wanted to get her share as well.

“If you’re capable, you can take it. Don’t you want to obtain that huge wealth and the inheritance from the Riddle family?

” James said in a meaningful tone, trying to induce her.

“What do you mean?” Raine seemed to understand James’s meaning but was hesitant to fully comprehend them.

James noticed Raine’s expression and went all out. “Since Nicole is eligible as well, you can also become that capable person.”

He initially thought that the daughters of the Riddle family were not eligible, but he clearly saw that Mr.

Riddle Sr.

favored Nicole. If that was the case, then Raine naturally had the same eligibility.

“But how can I become that person?” Raine asked, realizing that she would need achievements, which could not be attained solely by talking.

“I suggest you join the company first. After all, your brother doesn’t plan to help in the company, and your father always needs reliable people. If you can assist him, then…” James tactfully guided Raine along his train of thought.

Raine quickly understood and could not help but grit her teeth. “That’s a good idea. Why didn’t I think of it before?”

The Harlow family was only a second-rate family, and James did not hold much power within the family. This left Raine with limited rights. However, if she could join her own family’s company, everything would be different.

Regardless of the performance of the subsidiary they managed, it was still a top-notch company, stronger than the Harlow family. If she could achieve success and prove that she was better than Nicole, then everything belonging to Nicole would be hers. When the time came, she would make sure to take Nicole down ruthlessly.

Seeing that Raine had fully understood his plan, James took the opportunity to say, “When the time comes, I can also join the company and help you. I’ll assist you in obtaining everything from the Riddle family.”

Raine, feeling triumphant, readily agreed. “Good. I’ll talk to Dad about it.”

Once the two of them entered the company, sooner or later, she would surpass Nicole.

While these two were envisioning and scheming, Nicole and Jared had already returned to Nicole’s family.

Seeing only Nicole and Jared, Samuel and the others asked with concern, “Where are Mom and Dad?”

“When we were leaving, Uncle Dexter called Dad for a discussion, so we came back first. They should be arriving soon,” Nicole explained.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a bit relieved and waited for Nicole and Jared to sit down before asking, “What happened with the ancestral home?”

Nicole shook her head in frustration. “Uncle Damien and Uncle Dillion are causing trouble again.”

“What are they up to this time?” Samuel exclaimed irritably.
