Chapter 2395

As Dillon’s family gradually left, Mr. Riddle’s Sr.’s expression turned somber. He fixed his gaze on the entrance hall, lost in his thoughts.

Meanwhile, Karen exasperatedly pulled Dillon outside. “How could you just leave? Isn’t it as good as admitting you did it?”

“So what, if I denied it? Isn’t it obvious that I fell into their trap?” Dillon hit the ceiling.

“Dad, you’re saying that Everett forged the evidence? He’s too shady!” Raine gritted her teeth. The battle between the heirs of the Riddle family had yet to be determined, yet she was kicked out of the running just like that. It was clear that Raine was infuriated.

“The fact that Dad believed them so easily… He really is biased,” Karen complained.

Seeing the family’s disgruntled expressions, James advised, “We still have a shot.”

“What do you mean?” Karen frowned.

“Grandpa said he would cut off ties with us. But he didn’t say he would take back DillCorp. He didn’t burn the bridge. As long as we operate the company well, we could secretly find Everett’s faults. When the time comes, we’ll be able to turn the tables on him,” James explained.

“Hmm, you’re right.” Dillion nodded, satisfied. This was why he was willing to leave just now. DillCorp was still in their hands, Dillion was convinced Mr. Riddle Sr. would take back DillCorp if he continued to make a fuss. It would be utter defeat if that happened.

“No wonder you asked me to leave.” Raine breathed a sigh of relief. She was alright as long as things did not turn out to be a complete failure.

“Besides, Everett lost out to us this time, so we’re not exactly defeated. His days won’t be any better than ours,” James added.

“He must be pissed off to get back at us after he suffered big time.” Raine clenched her teeth in frustration. Everett was indeed a sinister person.

“Well, that’s likely the reason,” Dillion agreed. Everett did not want his dirty deeds to be exposed, so he stuck preemptively, trying to frame him. Everett wanted to kill two birds with one stone. He wanted to cover up his desire to take over DillCorp and tear Dillon’s family away from the Riddle family. It was a cunning scheme.

However, Dillon was not a pushover. Since Everett wanted to play the game, Dillon was determined to show him who would come out on top.

The few people calmed down and regained their composure. Dillon swept an unsatisfied glance at Preston and warned, “You better stay away from Nicole. Or else, you’ll regret it in the future.”

“It’s not like I’m involved in the company’s management.”

Preston shrugged his shoulders. His interaction with others did not matter since his interest did not clash with anyone else’s, whether it was the company’s or his own interest. He could just do as he pleased since he was not interested in anything else.

Watching Preston leave, Dillon felt even more frustrated.’ How did I end up with this bastard son? He’s not even as helpful as James.’

“Dad, let’s go back first. We have to think for the long run,” James persuaded.

“Yeah, let’s go,” Dillon agreed. He was not as angry, with a new goal in mind.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Riddle family manor carried a slight tension after Dillon’s family was kicked out. The people in the room seemed somewhat stifled on the surface, yet there was a faint aura of ease.

Deep down, Everett was secretly delighted. He could not help but feel triumphant. ‘Dillon’s family dared to obstruct me and cause me great loss? I’d never let them have the last laugh.’

Everett thought of all his painstaking arrangements. He believed he could take over DillCorp. But in the end, he ended up with a company laden with massive debts and unpaid liabilities. He was so angry at the result! Dillon’s family was truly cunning, and Everett could only blame himself for being careless.
