Chapter 2249

Nicole chuckled a little, after which she told Lulu, “I don’t know if they’re going to be unfortunate, but what I do know is that I might have solved a mystery because of this.”

“Is it Everett or Snow?” Lulu asked, her eyes brimming with curiosity.

Nicole shrugged. “Everett.”

“She’s just,” Lulu guffawed.

The product Riddle Corporation had released had overtaken the beta version of the same item that his company had doled out. ‘I discovered what he was up to in the nick of time. If and when he finds out, he will be pissed.’

Meanwhile, at NandoCorp, Everett came rushing into the office in a panic, his face grim and sullen.

“Mr. Riddle? What should we do now?” his assistant anxiously asked.

No one at the office had envisioned that this would happen, especially after they had bagged such a successful project from the Riddle Corporation.

“What should we do? What can I even do?!” Everett shrieked, irritated at her assistant.

Startled, his assistant lowered his head, and the rest of the office fell into deep silence.

Eventually, Everett calmed down and ordered, “Tell Sky Corporation to change the plans as soon as they can.”

“Change the plans? But we have already started experimenting.”

At that point, it was already too late to make any changes, as their product was already in the phases of experimentation and finalization.

“Scrap everything! The beta version we released is useless.”

There was no point in saving their beta project at this juncture. Even if they placed the PR and Marketing department on overdrive for this product, the market would still create an imitation of their beta version, and with ease too, unless they could come up with something even more appealing.

Everett did not want to waste any more time. ‘I have to minimize the losses. Otherwise the only option I have is to scrap everything and start from scratch.’

His assistant agreed. “Yes, Mr. Riddle.”

Everett was left utterly crestfallen as he contemplated his next move, and he kept at it until his phone suddenly rang.

Everett shot his phone a glance, and that was when his expression changed. “You go ahead and sort things out.”

“Yes, Mr. Riddle.” His assistant left.

Then, Everett took a deep breath before answering the call. ” Hello?”

“Everything is smooth sailing on my end, but yours seems…,” his correspondent coldly said over the phone.

“No, please listen to me. I can explain.” Everett broke out in cold sweat.

“Explaining won’t solve anything.”

“No… hello? Hello?” Everett became annoyed when the other person hung up on him.

He gritted his teeth, hurried out of the office, and drove away. Little did he know that a car was tailing him from behind.

As night fell, the lights of Riddle’s Residence came to live, with the Riddle family having dinner happily.

“Mom, were you busy the entire day today? How was it?” Stanley asked Gloria.

“I checked a few interior design companies out, but I’ve opted to leave the final decision to Samuel and June.” Gloria smiled.

“Now that marriage is in the talks, why do I feel like our mom’s looking even happier?” Stanley said, cracking a joke at the sight of his mother being so elated.
