Chapter 2126

Dillon looked at the investigators and nodded politely. “So, it’s been several days since this case started. Can you give us the results now?”

The investigator glanced at Dillon and said, “The investigation results are now available.”

A flash of satisfaction crossed Dillon’s eyes, but it quickly turned into anguish as he looked at Nicole. It seemed as though once the investigators announced the results, he would take action against her.

Seeing through Dillon’s thoughts, Nicole expressed a trace of disdain in her eyes. She returned his gaze with a mocking smile on her lips.

“Regarding the case presented by Riddle Corporation’s subsidiary against Riddle Corporation’s main company for manipulating the stock market with malicious intent, the case has been dismissed due to insufficient evidence,” the investigator said as he looked at Dillon.

“Nicole…” Dillon’s words almost slipped out, but he suddenly realized that something was wrong. It felt as though he had been struck by lightning. ‘What’s happening?!’

‘The case has been dismissed? How could it be dismissed?!’

Raine also found it unbelievable and blurted out without thinking, “Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

With a cold expression, the investigator continued, “On the other hand, due to your fabrication of evidence, Mr. Dillon Riddle, you are now under arrest for false accusations. The investigation is pending.”

“What?!” Dillon felt a wave of dizziness. Raine’s face turned pale as a sheet as well.

Soon, two uniformed individuals entered, ready to detain Dillon.

Dillon truly panicked this time and could not help but shout,” No, this isn’t right! I don’t accept it!”

“Accept it or not, it depends on the investigation results,” the investigator said sternly.

“W-Wait a minute, we want bail,” Raine shouted in a panic, trying to prevent Dillon from being taken away.

“We don’t handle bails here. You’ll have to talk to the police.” The investigator waved his hand, and Dillon was taken away.

Raine suddenly felt weak all over and was close to stumbling.

“Watch out.” James supported Raine to help her regain her balance.

With a face filled with resentment, Raine glared at Nicole and said through her teeth, “You’re heartlessly cruel, Nicole.”

‘She must’ve planned this. That’s why she has been so calm all this while.’

“Ah, I’m nothing compared to you.” Nicole’s gaze became as chilling as a sharp sword.

“You…” Raine was at a loss for words. She even started to tremble.

James comforted her in a low voice, “Let’s check on Dad first.”

Raine clenched her hands tightly. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and say, “Let’s go.”

“Alright, I’ll help you,” James agreed and helped Raine leave quickly. He knew very well that Dillon could not afford any mishaps at this time. Otherwise, the situation would become even more disadvantageous forthem.

Nicole’s gaze was cold as she watched the two of them hurry away.

“Nicole, what’s going on?” Lulu was stupefied. Although Nicole had told her before that it was nothing, the fact that this case had alarmed the police and resulted in an investigation was still rather shocking for Lulu.

“Their methods were clumsy, so they exposed themselves,” Nicole’s eyes flashed with disdain. ‘They just shot themselves in the foot.’

Lulu then asked carefully, “Well then… Can we leave now?” It still felt surreal for her.
