Chapter 2477

“She sure has a lot of nerve, taking over DillCorp like that!” Damien’s voice rose sharply.

“Well, Grandpa’s aware, and Preston doesn’t seem to care,” Everett replied, sounding indifferent.

Hearing this, Damien grew more irritated. “Doesn’t anyone object? Have they all lost their minds?!”

Everett lowered his head, silent for a moment. He knew Damien was just venting. ‘If Grandpa doesn’t oppose what’s happening now, maybe he won’t oppose my future actions either. Do others’ opinions even matter? This might just work in my favor.’

“No way, we can’t let this go. Wasn’t it Nicole who first brought up the idea of splitting up the company?

And now she’s simply taking over DillCorp?” Damien’s face darkened.” If Dillon and his team didn’t manage well, that doesn’t mean Nicole should get it all. We all have a stake in this.”

“So, you’re thinking of talking to Grandpa?” Everett asked casually.

Damien took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. ‘Is there any point in going to him? I mean, it’s not like he’d help. If anything, I’d be lucky not to get an earful from him.’

With a curious look at Everett, Damien asked, “So, what’s our next move? You seem to have something in mind.”

“If we can’t have it, we might as well destroy it.” Everett shrugged. ‘Then nobody wins.’

“Destroy it?” Damien’s eyebrows knitted together. ‘Wouldn’t that be a waste?’

“If we don’t act, DillCorp will just make Spencer even stronger,” Everett elaborated. “Dillon’s no longer part of the Riddle family. Snow’s in a hospital and might not wake up. Raine’s gone missing, James is behind bars, and Preston? He’s siding with Nicole. Given all this, do we even have a shot?” He stared intently at his father.

‘Spencer’s already taken the main company, and now everything from Dillon too,’ Damien thought.

‘With Stanley on his side, where does that leave me?’ He looked at Everett.” So, what should we do?”

Eager to use his father Damien’s influence rather than his own resources, Everett shared his plan. It would also give him a safety net to fall back on.

“Alright, you always know what to do,” Damien said. ‘Til leave this matter to you then.”

“Don’t worry, Dad,” Everett responded, excited about the responsibility.

“Go on then.” Damien motioned for him to proceed.

As Everett nodded and left the room, Damien’s expression darkened. ‘Dillon tried to outdo me, and look where it got him. Spencer’s on top now, and Dillon has nothing. They’ll soon realize the price of crossing me. As the oldest Riddle, I should’ve been the one in charge. Nobody will rob me of that right.’

As the afternoon sun shone brightly, Nicole and Lulu chatted in the office after their lunch.

“June said she’s free today and wants us to join her for pizza near the Royal Creek Institute later,” Lulu said. “You in? n “Sure,” Nicole agreed.

“Well, June said no plus-ones. She’s calling it our ‘Goodbye to Singlehood’ party,” Lulu said, her eyes filled with glee.

Nicole looked amused. “Goodbye to Singlehood? Only you guys would come up with something like that.”

“Now that we’re married, things will change a bit,” Lulu replied, her cheeks pink with a mix of excitement and embarrassment. “Sure, we’ll hang out, but it won’t be the same as before.”
