Chapter 2527

Damien darted a glance at Miley and Chloe, and in an icy tone of voice, he said, “This is father’s decision.”

After all, if Mr. Riddle Sr. really wanted to help them, Nicole would have no choice but to follow the old man’s wishes.

Hearing those words uttered made Miley’s face blanch.” What about our future? I don’t want to end up in such a miserable situation as Dillion.”

If Mr. Riddle Sr. refused to help them, their family would really have no way out.

Enraged, Damien glared at Miley and said, “Hold your tongue, woman! I’m not as stupid as he is!”

“My apologies.” Miley timidly backed down.

Then, Chloe frowned and asked Damien, “Dad, what are your plans?”

“Give me a damn minute,” Damien said in frustration. “Now of all times, Everett is unreachable.”

“I’m afraid he can’t expose himself to the public eye right now. He’ll contact you when it’s convenient and safe to do so,” Chloe gritted her teeth. “I guess we truly are on our own right now.”

“We’re on our own?” Damien stared Chloe down. “What is that supposed to mean?”

Due to the current predicament they were in, they had no one to rely on.

“Everything happened because of Nicole. Everything would have been smooth sailing if we had dealt with Nicole,” Chloe explained, her eyes glinting with malice.

And indeed, as long as Nicole was taken care of, all their other problems would turn to dust.

Damien silently stared at Chloe for a moment before deciding, “You’re right. Once we’ve taken care of Nicole, the other problems won’t matter.”

The father and daughter exchanged glances and understood each other’s intentions without another word from one another.

Chloe leaned against her wheelchair, and a sinister leer gradually crossed on her face.

The sun shone bright and warm the next day. After breakfast, Nicole and Jared proceeded to drop the kids off at their kindergarten as usual. Her face was brimming with affection for the kids as she bade her farewells and watched them enter the establishment.

As the car began picking up speed, Max informed, “Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, we have news on Mr.

Riddle Sr.’s investigation.”

Nicole’s face darkened as she went on to ask, “You found the doctor?”

“Yes, we got the doctor,” Max informed, his tone cold and his voice deep. “The doctor fled the country and has been using a fake identity. That was why we had no news of him for so long.”

“And where is the doctor now?” Nicole’s eyes flashed, her eyes burning with fury.

It has been so long since they finally got a lead on what had happened.

When this incident happened and after Mr. Riddle Sr. had been harmed, the culprit must have left some crumbs behind. Everett had apparently found evidence against Dillion, but nothing would be more convincing than the doctor’s direct testimony.

Nicole always had doubts about his findings, as the timing of the evidence was too coincidental. She hoped the truth would finally reveal itself this time.

“The doctor is on his way here and will be reaching San Joto tomorrow,” Max cautiously. “We kept this news confidential, so no one apart from us actually knows about it. I’ve made arrangements for him to remain hidden once he reaches San Joto.”

“That’s nice. Make sure to thoroughly question him,” Nicole instructed.

“Yes, don’t worry about it,” Max replied, focusing on the road.

Nicole then stared at Jared and said coldly, “Well, he’s good at hiding.”

“Even if he is good at hiding, he will always leave traces,” Jared assured Nicole, holding her hand. ‘

Max will take care of this. You can just relax and wait for the results.”

“Yeah,” Nicole nodded and began thinking about who the potential suspect was.
