Chapter 2394

Mr. Riddle Sr. fell silent. Although he got worked up just now, he still had to calm down and consider the Riddle family’s situation. Getting the police involved would only result in this matter being spread out to the public. If such a family scandal were leaked out, it would be hard for the Riddle family to maintain their reputation in San Joto.

Aftercareful contemplation, Mr. Riddle Sr. turned to Dillon and ordered coldly, “From now on, Dillon’s family has nothing to do with the Riddle family. Leave now. You are not allowed to step foot into the Riddle family business again.”

“Wait, Dad! Hear me out! I really didn’t do it!” Dillon’s distress escalated. His eyes were full of panic as he tried to explain.

With the evidence before him, Mr. Riddle Sr. had no interest in Dillon’s explanation. He turned to the house butler. “Get them out of here and make sure they never set foot in this house again.”

“Yes, sir.” The house butler approached Dillon. ‘ Dillion, it’s best you leave now.”

“I’m not leaving! It wasn’t me. Why should I be kicked out of the Riddle family?” Dillon toughened up. If he was kicked out now, he would lose all ties to the Riddle family.

“Grandpa, perhaps we could investigate this further. Dad would never do such a thing,” Raine said, growing anxious. If they were cut off, Raine would never inherit the Riddle family in the future.

Karen lashed out. “Dad, how could you just make us leave indiscriminately?! We’re not the only ones who were eager to claim the shares back then. You can’t solely blame our family!

“That’s right, Dad! Damien was the one who recommended the doctor. He can’t just be ruled out from suspicion when the doctor makes a mistake. You can’t just single me out!” Dillon seemed to catch a lifeline and pointed his accusation toward Damien.

“Dillon, don’t go crazy and target anyone you see! The evidence points to you, so why are you accusing me now?” Damien immediately defended. His frustration made his face pale.

“How would I know if you tampered with evidence? With evidence like this, I could just as easily claim you did it!” Dillon threw caution to the wind. He was not going to let anyone off easily.

“Dad, why don’t we get the police involved? That’ll make him concede defeat,” Damien said with impatience.

The situation seemed like Dillon was losing his mind now. Damien did not want to continue arguing and play Dillon’s games.

“Enough with this. Alfred, continue what you were doing,” Mr. Riddle Sr. said, his voice growing more authoritative.

“Yes, sir.” The house butler understood this was Mr. Riddle Sr.’s final order. The house butler approached Dillon, his voice stern. “Dillon, Mr. Riddle Sr. is trying to preserve both your dignity and the Riddle family. If this becomes public knowledge, it damages both your family and the Riddle family. So, I advise you to take your leave now.”

The house butler’s words sounded like a suggestion, but he carried an implicit threat. Dillon was not clueless; he could easily discern it.

Mr. Riddle Sr. wanted to cut ties with Dillon’s family now and wanted them gone. If Dillon continued to make a fuss, there was a good chance things would end worse than this.

Gritting his teeth, Dillon stood up and said, “I’ll prove my innocence.”

After saying this, Dillion left with big strides.

Sighing, Karen had no choice but to follow. Raine was reluctant to leave. She exchanged glances with James, not sure what they should do.

“Grandpa, take care of yourself. We’ll take our leave first.” James pulled Raine to her feet and excused himself.

Preston saw his family leave and prepared to leave as well. He was, after all, a part of the family, and there was no reason for him to stay behind. He also did not want to incur Mr. Riddle Sr.’s wrath.
