Chapter 2640

“How can we allow her to weasel her way out of this so easily, Miss Riddle?

Especially now that we have compiled so much evidence to use against her…,”

Patricia complained with a frown on her face.

‘Perhaps she wouldn’t have to explain herself if she never regained consciousness,’ Patricia thought.

After a moment of consideration, Nicole furrowed her brows. “I think she’s doing this to stall for some time for herself.”

‘What else could she hope to do? Her fake doctor was caught red handed, and the investigation has been handed over to the police. Everyone knows about the registration of her company now, so what more does she think she could do?’

Noticing that Nicole was deep in thought, Martin asked,” What are you thinking about?”

Nicole shook her head. “It’s nothing.”

She did not want to trouble Martin anymore as he had been of great help in today’s affairs.

And as Martin noticed that Nicole was unwilling to share, he decided to leave it and stop pressing her with more questions.

Upon arriving at the headquarters of the Riddle Corporation, Martin turned to Nicole and reassured, “I’ll tell you how things are once the results are out.”

Nicole, in turn, gave Martin a weak smile. “Thank you.”

‘Perhaps he can’t be of much help with other things but he sure as hell is handy when it comes to anything related to medicine,’ Nicole thought.

“You’re welcome. You can come to me if there’s anything you need.” Martin smiled.

With a beaming smile, Nicole replied, “I will, don’t worry.”

Martin slowly pulled away from the lobby as he saw Nicole disappearing into the building. She had just entered her office when Sean and Steve barged in.

“How was it?!”

“Um…the results won’t be out so soon.” Nicole sighed.

“It didn’t go as planned?” Steve asked with a look of surprise on his face. ‘How could things not go according to our plan? We have prepared everything right!’

“What happened?” Sean asked, serious and unsmiling.

With that, Nicole quickly filled Sean and Steve in on the details of the events that had transpired earlier.

“I still think that Chloe vomiting blood and passing out so suddenly is some sort of an act, but either way, she won’t get away with it so easily. Her approach when it comes to evading this confrontation is rather futile, in all honesty,” Nicole finished.

Nicole could not shake the feeling that Chloe had other plans up her sleeve.

Otherwise, she would not have pulled a stunt of such nature.

‘What can Chloe do? We have all the evidence that points directly at her attempting to defraud Grandpa of the money he was about to give her for treatment to set her own company up!’ she fumed.

“Let’s keep an eye on her for now,” Sean concluded as he got up from his seat.

“Dillion and Karen are there at the moment to keep an eye on them, but I don’t think they’ll be of much use,’ Nicole stated as she looked up at her brothers.

“You know what? Let’s just forget it. We should take matters into our own hands.”

‘If Chloe is trying to weasel her way out through her backup plan, we should be ready to suppress every move she makes, ‘ Nicole thought to herself.

“Okay, let’s just wait and see what her next moves are,” Sean agreed, before leaving Nicole’s office with Steve in tow.

“Miss Riddle? This is from the Ellison Group,” Nicole’s secretary informed as she handed her a document.

“Thanks,” Nicole grabbed the document, and the secretary left shortly thereafter.

Upon opening the document, Nicole frowned at the sight of the content.

“Miss Riddle. Is something wrong?” Patricia asked, noticing that there was a grimace on Nicole’s face.

“A ribbon cutting ceremony, two days from now. Harvey has invited us to attend,” Nicole summarized as she placed the document down on the table.

Following Nicole’s announcement, everyone in the room began to feel a sense of frustration.

Confused, Patricia asked, “A ribbon cutting ceremony?”

Nicole rubbed her temples, a headache surfacing. “I have to give it to him. He’s the only one who would come up with something so frivolous.”
