Chapter 2079

Sean’s gaze turned cold. “What dirty tricks are Uncle Damien and Uncle Dillon up to now?”

After Nicole briefly mentioned the splitting of the family’s assets, she raised her eyebrow and said, “The problem is, this bad news is related to you.”

“Me?” Sean was confused. What did the family’s assets have to do with him?

“Grandpa said you have the ability to inherit, and everyone agreed that you’re the perfect choice for this,” Nicole reported truthfully.

“When you say ‘everyone’, who’s included?” Sean found it weird that he did not know anything about it.

Nicole shrugged her shoulders innocently and threw her brothers under the bus. “Stanley, Spencer and Samuel.”

Sean was startled at first, but then he let out a laugh which scared people. “These brats. They’ve become so daring now. n They actually passed such a huge responsibility onto him. They deserved a beating.

“Sean, I honestly think you’re the perfect choice. So, I hope you’ll take this into consideration,” Nicole said with a comforting and sympathetic tone.

“Are you sure?” Sean raised his eyebrows and smiled wryly.

Nicole nodded. “Yes.”

After they finished the conversation, Nicole turned to Jane and said, “Jane, all the best!”

Once Sean inherited the Riddle family’s assets, the burden on Jane’s shoulders would naturally be heavier.

Jane understood what Nicole meant. However, she had not recovered from such huge news. The look she gave Nicole seemed to carry a hint of defiance. Therefore, she did not dare promise Nicole anything at that moment.

To Jane, Sean would make all the decisions, and she would unconditionally support him. Then, she would assist and back him up without any hesitation.

The doors of the elevator opened, and Nicole stepped out first. Although the final decision would not be made anytime soon, Nicole still felt the need to tell Sean so that he could be prepared.

Furthermore, inheriting all of the Riddle family’s assets was not an easy thing. They might face some obstacles.

Naturally, precautions were necessary.

Nicole’s gaze darkened, and the aura surrounding turned cold. She remembered all that had happened at the Riddle family manor the night before. Those greedy wolves would need a solid lesson for them to realize their place.

Sean and Jane walked out of the elevator as well. After glancing at each other, the look in their eyes was dense and full of emotions.

“Mr. Sean, are you going to… accept it?”

“I guess Nicole has no interest in inheriting it anymore.” Sean understood that their grandpa’s wish was for Nicole to inherit them. But from the looks of it, Nicole had no interest in it.

If Nicole was not interested, it would be normal for the brothers to suggest his name. After all, those boys were not willing to step foot in the company. The only one who helped out was Steve. In fact, Steve was only in for the money. He was not interested in managing the company at all.

“I’ll respect your decision, no matter what it is.” Jane had a firm gaze. If her husband really decided to take over everything, Jane understood the burden she would have to carry on her shoulders.

“Don’t worry. You can do it,” Sean reassured his wife. He was very sure of Jane’s skills.

Jane nodded slightly, and Sean smiled. As long as Sean would be by her side, that was more than enough for Jane.

“Sean, it’s such a rare sight to see you and Jane interacting so lovingly.” Steve walked over and could not help but tease when he saw Sean and Jane.

Sean rolled his eyes in annoyance at Steve and said, “You should bring Sally home one day.”

As soon as he finished his sentence, Sean walked off with Jane in tow.

“What’s going on?” Steve could sense that something was off with Sean. He could not help but scratch his head, confused.

However, that couple was now far away from Steve. So, Steve could only come back to his senses and walked to his own office.

On the other hand, Jared had arrived at Johnston Group.
