Chapter 2311

The atmosphere was unusually depressing. Steve could not help asking, “Sean, did Uncle Damien really show no signs of motive?”

Sean shook his head. “We didn’t find anything odd.”

And it was exactly because they did not find anything odd that everything seemed fishy.

“Previously, Grandpa mentioned that Uncle Damien visits him frequently. Could Uncle Damien be eyeing the family manor?” Nicole guessed.

After all, Miley and Karen had been eyeing Mr. Riddle Sr.’s assets. They did not manage to get any of the company’s shares, nor any right of inheritance from the Riddle family. They must be yearning to get something.

“But what would Uncle Damien want from the family manor? Grandpa wouldn’t allow it anyways.” Steve was still confused.

Nicole frowned. ‘It’s true that there’s nothing in the manor that Uncle Damien could easily take. If he really were aiming for something, it’d be something which Mr. Riddle Sr. hadn’t noticed.

‘So, what would be something that Grandpa hasn’t noticed? In family manor, there’s-‘ All of a sudden, Nicole recalled something, and her eyes darkened.

“The land certificate of the family manor,” Sean slowly uttered.

Seeing that Sean had come to the same conclusion, Nicole nodded in agreement. “That seems to be the most probable thing.”

Steve gritted his teeth. “He really has the guts to think about that!”

Damien actually had his eye on the family manor. If everything went his He would most likely be angered and fall sick again.

“Their sight is only guided by money,” Nicole said coldly.

“But what would he do if he manages to get the family manor?” Nicole was still confused about that.

Even though Damien was a greedy person, he would not make it obvious yet.

“Maybe Everett is going to make a move,” Nicole speculated with a serious look. She turned to Sean.

Then, Sean nodded. “I’ll ask my men to keep an eye on him.”

“What are they scheming now? Isn’t it enough for them to partner with Harvey in targeting Uncle Dillon’s company?” Steve was a little angered. ‘These people are really annoying!’

Nicole’s gaze darkened as she spoke solemnly, “They were bold enough to try and kill Grandpa. Did you think they’d be satisfied with getting DillCorp only?”

The whole room was quiet. They were clear that it was not enough for Damien.

The elevator had reached the ground floor. After the three of them walked out, they headed for their cars.

Since everyone was gathering at the family manor, Nicole had informed Jared not to pick her up. She asked Jared to accompany Nolan and Lana as she would be carpooling with Sean and Steve.

“Samuel won’t be attending because he hasn’t recovered yet. Mom and Dad should’ve informed Stanley and Spencer about it. They’ll head over on their own. I guess we can just go there straight away and meet them there.” Steve glanced at the time as he spoke.

“I don’t think Spencer will be there.” Nicole recalled that Lulu had a date with Spencer. The both of them must be having a romantic date at that moment.

“Is he busy?” Steve asked, furrowing his brows.

“If he’s not coming, then so be it. You never seem to care about him anyways,” Sean said calmly.

After all, the gathering that night was not meant to be a reunion.

Being rebutted by Sean, Steve shrugged his shoulders. “I was just asking.”

Although they knew that Damien was setting a trap for them, Steve felt it was clear that they were not there to fight. So, there was no use to gather a lot of people there.
