Chapter 2136

“That’s it?” Nicole replied calmly.

Lulu widened her eyes in disbelief. “Isn’t it enough? It’s not just a fluctuation in their stock prices this time. Their stock prices plummeted. It won’t be long till it hits the limit.”

The losses were not ordinary. This would lose how much money? But the more Lulu thought about it, the more excited she was.

Nicole’s gaze darkened. ‘These alone aren’t enough. Was there something they missed on Dillon’s side? This speed was disappointing. Are they quiet quitting or simply not investigating at all?”

“Nicole?” Lulu softly called out, noticing Nicole’s silence and increasingly gloomy expression.

“It’s nothing. Let’s wait a little longer. There should be updates,” Nicole said. She could only conclude that Dillon was actually incompetent if there was no other news.

Observing Nicole’s composed demeanor, Lulu chuckled and shook her head, admiring her friend’s composure.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work.” Lulu calmed down. While she enjoyed watching the show, she knew it was someone else’s business. She should focus her energy on her own work instead.

Watching Lulu turn around and leave, Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. She took a document and started working.

Meanwhile, at the branch company Dillon was in charge of, DillCorp, Dillon had a gloomy face in the president’s office. He gritted his teeth and glared at the results in his hands.

His assistant looked at Dillon nervously, his forehead filled with beads of sweat. “Mr. Dillon, you see…”

SNAP!

Dillon angrily slammed the document on the desk with a crisp, snapping sound.

“Damien, what a good show you put on. First, you got me to do your dirty work. Then, you benefit from the tussle.” Dillon gnashed his teeth, his face turning ashen. He never expected it, even after countless investigations.

Nicole was not the one who outsmarted him. The reality was that Damien played him and Nicole.

Everett got people to make fabricated evidence to deliberately let him find out. It was to make him believe he could finally keep Nicole from bouncing back.

However, Nicole remained unscathed. Dillon was the one who got into trouble. No matter what happened, Damien would be the last one standing.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.

A knock sounded on the door, and Raine pushed the door open. “Dad.”

Casting an annoyed glance at his daughter, Dillon gritted his teeth and ordered, “Come in.”

“Alright,” Raine responded and walked toward the desk.

Dillon signaled his assistant with a glance, saying, “Leave us. If “Yes, sir.” His assistant complied and left the room.

“Dad, how are things looking? Why do you look so angry?” Raine asked, eyes full of concern.

“Hmph,” Dillon grunted with an angry face. He was practically foaming at the mouth. “Look at what your Uncle Damien did!”

Raine’s eyes widened in surprise. “Uncle Damien?” She thought, “How could it be Uncle Damien? Isn’t Nicole the one behind this?’

“The evidence was fabricated. Everett purposely leaked it to us. And it must have been Damien’s intention,” Dillon said through clenched teeth, a hint of maliciousness flashing in his eyes.

Never expecting Damien and Everett to be the culprits, Raine’s expression turned pale white. Deep down, she had the same hatred toward them. Nicole was already a big nuisance, but Damien had actually turned against them.

“Dad, what should we do about this?” Raine asked in a frustrated tone.
