Chapter 2144

“I’m not saying that I’m incompetent, but sometimes, your dad here is a little too soft-hearted.”

‘When a person is too kind-hearted, it becomes a weakness where other people can easily manipulate and step over.’

Meanwhile, Damien had returned to his residence.

Everett had received a call earlier from Mr. Riddle Sr., which gave her the idea that her grandpa knew something regarding the matter.

Everett saw her father had returned and said, “Dad, why did Grandpa call us over? Is there something going on?”

“It wasn’t Grandpa. It was your Uncle Dillon.” Damien’s face turned dark when he mentioned Dillon’s name.

Everett was confused. “Uncle Dillon?”

Damien was fuming, his eyes turned darker as he talked about Dillon’s problems.

“He was caught red handed?”

Dillon had completed everything cautiously, nobody even knew what he was up to, even Damien was unable to lay his hands on Nicole. So, the matter now appears to be not as easy as it seems though Damien had not done anything.

“I only know what’s happening. I saw him take out the so- called evidence, I don’t know if he had obtained it illegally or not. So, for as long as we don’t admit to it, it has nothing to do with us.” Damien snorted.

“Dad, why do I feel like this is a bit weird?” Everett frowned involuntarily. Her eyes gradually became darker.

“What do you mean?” Damien asked, immediately becoming wary.

“I can’t put it. I just feel a little strange about this… I’ll have someone to check regarding this matter.”

“You have to be careful about this. Your uncle could be keeping tabs on you,” Damien told his daughter, 1 Damien thought, ‘I think Dillon might have caught onto something. Otherwise how would he have noticed Everett’s movements? I think we should be more cautious in making moves in the future.’

Everette agreed. “I know. Ever since this matter, our family and Uncle Dillon’s family have been underfire.”

‘I wonder what everyone’s thinking about right now. I wonder if we all know what the other person is already thinking of, yet we’re being more cautious of each other. Our original plans of killing two birds with one stone went down the drain. Nicole ended up unscathed and so did Dillon, but I ended up being the target of the public. The more I think, the odder it is now that the direction of the plan has been redirected…’ Dillon’s eyes darkened as he thought about it.

At the Riddle Residence, both Nicole and her father had arrived home. The members of the Riddle family were waiting for them in the living room. Nicole noticed that Jared, Nolan, and Lana were not present. ‘They must be upstairs.’

“They’re back!” Gloria breathed out a sigh of relief when she saw Nicole and Daniel walk in.

“Grandpa asked us to stay over for dinner, so that’s why we’re late today,” explained Nicole, as both Nicole and her father took a seat on the sofa.

“How was it?” Samuel asked, looking at Nicole worriedly.

“It’s no biggie. There’s nothing for you to worry about anymore,” said Daniel as he took a good look at his sons.
