Chapter 2310

After hearing what Nicole pointed out, Eliar beamed. “What you said was amazing! I knew you’d figure it out!”

They had run through this proposal many times and made a lot of changes, but Ellar was never satisfied. He could not think of anything else to make it better, so he sought Nicole’s help.

On the other hand, he was also worried that he’d interrupt Nicole at work. So, he purposely chose to find her during lunch break.

Nicole returned the proposal to Ellar and said, “It’s nothing much. You don’t have much experience in this, but you’ll get better at it over time. Especially with your skills, I’m sure it won’t take long.”

Ellar was extremely happy to be praised by Nicole. “I’ll work hard!”

Nicole smiled and replied, “We’ve all seen the effort you put in.”

At that moment, Ellar recalled the call he received from Dexter. “Oh right, Nicole. Do you know why Uncle Damien is gathering everyone at the family manor?”

“He is?” Nicole was taken aback by the news.

“Yeah, he wants everyone to be there tonight. Uncle Damien, Uncle Dillon, your family and my family.

All four of our families have to be there.” Ellar realized that Nicole had no clue about the meeting. Then, he mumbled, “I wonder what he’s gathering us for.”

“You’ll find out when you’re there,” Nicole responded, raising an eyebrow.

Since Damien had gathered everyone, everything would be revealed soon.

“I don’t know what Uncle Damien has up his sleeve, but I can tell that it’s nothing great,” Ellar could not help but say.

It had been a while since everyone gathered at the family manor. Ever since Nicole inherited the head office, everyone seemed to be avoiding each other. So, it was rare for everyone to meet each other at the same time.

And now, Damien suddenly asked everyone to gather in that house. Something seemed off.

“Don’t worry. With Grandpa around, Uncle Damien wouldn’t dare to do anything.” Nicole shrugged, seemingly unbothered.

Although Mr. Riddle Sr. and the rest were not sure what Damien was up to, Mr. Riddle Sr. had alerted Nicole about his frequent visits. This showed that Mr. Riddle Sr. was still cautious about Damien. With that, Nicole would have nothing to worry about.

Seeing how calm Nicole was, Ellar nodded. “You’re right.”

“Alright. You should get back to work if there’s nothing else you need. Your employees must be waiting for you to start the meeting,” Nicole reminded Ellar.

“How did you know?” Ellar said in surprise.

Nicole glanced at the proposal in Ellar’s hands and thought,’ They’ve been working on this proposal for days and couldn’t finalize it. Ellar had no choice but to find me immediately. That means he’s in a hurry to complete the proposal.’

Looking at Nicole’s gaze, Ellar found the answer to his question. Feeling somewhat awkward, he scratched his head and smiled innocently. “I’ll head back now.”

“Alright, see you tonight.” Nicole gave a soft smile.

“Alright,” Ellar replied and walked out.

After he left the room, Nicole leaned on the sofa and narrowed her eyes.

‘What’s Uncle Damien scheming that he’s gathering everyone at the family manor? Grandpa did mention that Uncle Damien visits him frequently, but he was always alone. Why is he asking everyone to be there this time?’

Nicole knew that something was off, but she had not found anything suspicious about Damien recently.

She could not tell what Damien was planning to do next.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work.

Nicole had just left the office when she bumped into Sean and Steve.

“Sean, Steve, let’s go down together,” Nicole said in lieu of greeting them. Then, the three of them entered the elevator together.
