Chapter 2125

Nicole shook her head and chuckled. She kind of understood why Lulu had endured extensive mistreatment at her previous company without resigning and changing jobs. Given the power of her previous company, Lulu would indeed achieve a sense of accomplishment if she had achieved results.

“Since this is your decision, I won’t insist anymore. But you should still come to the family banquet.

After all, only our family members will be there. Just don’t announce your relationship with Spencer.”

Nicole made the decision for Lulu, but she was slightly worried that Lulu was still not going to attend, so she added, “June will also be there.”

“She agreed ?!” Lulu’s eyes widened in surprise.

Nicole instantly understood that Samuel and June must also have their reasons for not making their relationship public.

“Okay.” Lulu nodded in agreement.

Nicole did not tell Lulu that she had not informed June yet, but she will make sure June showed up.

Lulu did not think much of it and assumed that June had already agreed to attend, so she could only nod hesitantly.

A faint smile appeared on Nicole’s lips. She then sent Lulu away after arranging some tasks for her.

Soon after, Nicole called June and used the same method to get her to agree to join the family banquet.

With the mission accomplished, Nicole smiled triumphantly and started working in a good mood.

In the afternoon, after having lunch with Lulu, Nicole went back to the office with her when she received a call from the investigation department.

After Dillon reported the case to the police, accusing the HQ of the Riddle Corporation of maliciously manipulating the stock market, the police transferred the case to the relevant department for investigation.

“Okay, I’ll be right there,” Nicole said before hanging up the phone.

“I’ll go with you,” Lulu said with a serious expression as she was concerned.

Nicole nodded in agreement. “Okay.”

Soon, the two of them left Riddle Corporation and arrived at the investigation department.

Upon entering the room that she was directed to, Nicole noticed that it looked similar to a conference room. Not only were the investigators present, but Dillon and the others were there as well.

Seeing Nicole enter, Dillon put on a high and mighty posture and said, “Nicole, I’m not forcing you because I’m your uncle. After all, this involved the entire Riddle family, and I still have to consider the best interest of the family.”

“Ah, you didn’t have to worry, Uncle Dillon,” Nicole said politely. However, her eyes were cold, giving people an eerie feeling.

Dillon’s expression stiffened. He was not expecting Nicole to have such an attitude. ‘Does she really not care about anything?’

They had been waiting for the investigation results for the past few days and had also been keeping an eye on Nicole’s actions. They found that Nicole had taken no action at all as if this matter had nothing to do with her. On the contrary, they were the ones who were anxious because they did not get any results from the investigation. When they finally got them, they hurriedly rushed over. But how could Nicole be so calm?

“Nicole, if you had just admitted in front of Grandpa, we wouldn’t have ended up like this.” Raine put on a concerned expression.

Nicole sneered in her head but maintained a calm expression. She then raised an eyebrow and said lightly, “Let the investigators give us a fair and just answer. That’s what’s truly best for the Riddle family.”

Looking at Nicole’s demeanor, Raine suddenly felt a sense of unease. ‘Why do I feel like we’ve wrongly accused her?’

‘Wait, no. We’re the ones with the evidence.’ Upon realizing this, Raine felt even more resentful. ‘Why am I doubting because of Nicole’s manipulative remarks? It’s clearly her fault.’

“Quiet.” Finally, the investigators spoke up to stop the back- and-forth between them.
