Chapter 2255

As Snow’s attitude seemed pleasant and accommodating, Dillon’s tone and volume softened a little as he said, “Good that you’re aware of that.”

“Dad, I made a mistake this time, but I won’t give up. Once we have the Ellison family’s support, it won’t matter how capable Nicole is. We won’t be any less powerful or influential than her, and Grandfather won’t favor her blindly any longer.” Snow advised while observing Dillon’s reaction.

Although Dillon did not utter a word, it was evident that he was considering Snow’s words.

Her lips curled up slightly, and she felt relieved that her father was not scolding her. In addition, this meant that she could continue to stay in the company.

“Dad!” Suddenly, Raine suddenly walked in, surprised to see Snow.

A frown of displeasure came over his face at once. “You’re getting more and more impolite.”

“I’m here to report something. I didn’t expect Snow to be here too,” Raine quickly regained her composure, pretending to be meek and proper.

Snow shot a glance at Dillon and, upon noticing that he was silent, she responded, “I was just about to return to my office. You can go ahead and report away now.”

She then left Dillon’s office.

His expression darkened a little after Snow had left, and that was when he asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Well, I’m about to sign the project I was talking about. So, I just wanted to ask you if there are any other conditions to be added,” Raine asked seriously.

“Nope,” he replied with a grimace on his face. “You’ve been in the company for so long. Do you really have to ask me about things like these?”

Raine’s expression shifted a little, but she forced herself to remain calm as she said, This project is important to the company, so I want to confirm it with you again. I don’t want any mistakes.”

“Alright, you can leave now,” Dillon waved his hand, signaling for her to leave.

He was still unsure about Snow’s plan, but he had somewhat agreed with her. If she could get close to Harvey, they would not have to worry about sucking up to Mr. Riddle Sr. anymore. Mr. Riddle Sr. would not put all his attention on Nicole anymore either, and that was when the old man would begin to notice them.

Once Raine was out of the office, she quickly returned to her own office.

“How did it go?” James inquired the moment she stepped in.

“Hmm, she definitely had other motives when she joined the company.” Raine gritted her teeth.

She had only left to discuss a project, but things had undergone a drastic change upon her return. Not only did Snow join the company, but she had also gotten herself involved with Harvey. It seemed to her that her father was not too bothered by Snow’s scandal either, so they were probably still looking to enlist Harvey’s help.

If Snow really managed to rekindle her relationship with Harvey, Raine would be the one left to face the humiliation alone.

After all, she was not the only one who had gotten herself transferred to a second-rate university years ago. But today, she was the only one who had married into a second-rate family.

“We should be more cautious about this. If Harvey and Snow end up together, our position in both the company and the family will be compromised. Not to mention, the inheritance rights…” James paused midway.

“Do you think Harvey is targeting the Riddle family?!” he asked.

After all, if Harvey really had feelings for Snow, he would not have allowed her to stay single for so many years, just to make a move now.

Raine’s face blanched as well. ‘How did I not think of that before?’

“What should we do now?” Raine began to panic.

“We should wait and observe while we gather evidence. We absolutely cannot let Harvey succeed.”

James’s eyes darkened.

“Alright, I’ll follow your lead,” Raine said through gritted teeth.

She was determined to take everything from the Riddle family. She could not bear to endure all the mistreatment alone. She would never accept it, not after those years.

As night fell, the tired birds returned to their nests, and the busy day came to an end. During rush hour in the evening, the streets were filled with vehicles and pedestrians bustling about.
