Chapter 1569

"It was only after Grandpa had gotten Sean to take over the main business that the company has thrived. Our stock

prices have risen dramatically over the past two days too. None of these seem to have anything to do with Uncle

Damien, right?"

Nicole's gaze was proud and icy, causing everyone to inexplicably feel a sense of pressure.

Everett stared at Nicole. He did not think that Nicole, who was just a high schooler, would have such a powerful

presence about her, and so much so that even he was sweating as he stood before her.

"Wow, you sure know how to toot your own horn, Nicole." Chloe growled, having lost her patience. "What did you

mean when you said that the rise in stock prices has nothing to do with my dad? Most of the company's businesses

were managed by my dad."

Sean glanced at Chloe. ’You're nothing but a woman shameless enough to show her face after being kicked out of

the family, and you dare mock my little sister?"

As he thought about it, Sean tossed all of his regard for Chloe out of the window. "Keep quiet if you're not aware of

everything that has been going on in the company. The rise in stock prices within the past two days is because

we've successfully secured a business with the royal house of Yamenia. It has nothing to do with Uncle Damien's

earlier businesses."

"You!" Chloe glared fiercely at Sean, but she had no way to refute his statements, as everything he had said was

true.

Everett gnashed his teeth, and even if he wanted to speak up for his parents, the truth was that they had achieved

very little. He really hated how poor his father's capabilities were, causing him to be criticized wherever he went.

Seeing how Nicole had ridiculed Damien, Dillon felt good within, but upon realizing how strong Daniel's family was,

he began to feel that he was in a crisis too.

After some thought, he stood up and said, "Daniel, what is your daughter trying to imply here? She's talking as if the

seat of the master of the family would be yours! The old man is still alive and you're already trying to fight for the

position? Why don't you ask him for his opinion instead?"

"Daniel did not mean that..." Gloria panicked, fearing that her husband would be labeled as an impious son.

Hearing that, Nicole glared at Dillon. "We did not mention that at all, but it seems that you've thought of that,

haven't you, Uncle Dillon? If you really want to know what Grandpa is planning, you can ask him yourself instead of

coming to me here today, don't you think?"

Dillon did not expect Nicole to have such a sharp wit, which she utilized to lob the entire question back to him in just

a few words. He was livid.

"You're spewing hogwash! Since when have I ever said that I wanted to know?!" he bellowed.

"Oh?" Nicole raised her eyebrow. "You didn't want to know, Uncle Dillon? You mean you're not interested in the seat

of the master of the house?"

"I..." Dillon was at a loss for words as he realized that he had fallen into her trap.

"I mean, it's good that you're not interested. With your capabilities, I don't think Grandpa will even consider you as a

candidate fit to take the Riddle Corporation over. At least you possess a degree of self-awareness," she mocked.

"Nicole!" Dillon grew belligerent. After all, he was an elder of the family, and for Nicole to look down upon him like

that was something he found unbearable.

Even Karen too was pissed. "Mind your words. So what about your Uncle Dillon's capabilities? Why can't he take

over the Riddle Corporation?"

Seeing that Karen too was miffed, Nicole's smile grew even wider. "Wake up, Aunt Karen. If Uncle Dillon was

capable enough, he would've been managing more important company matters long before I got the Fire Crest. He

had nothing then, and was only tasked to assist Uncle Damien. What more can he do now?"

The moment Nicole shot back, Karen was left dumbstruck.' Yeah, before Nicole even got the Fire Crest, and before

Daniel's family even joined the company, Dillon could still have been a VP in the company. But once Daniel's family

rose, and once his sons had joined the company, Preston had since not been called by the old man, and Dillon

himself did not have any important projects under his management... I

'Is it possible that the old man is about to throw them out?' she wondered.

Catching sight of her mother's face turning pale, Raine immediately held Karen. "Mom! Don't listen to her rambles!

She's just spouting hogwash! Grandpa must have us in his mind!"

While Raine was still building castles in the sky, Snow already knew that what Nicole had just said was the truth, and

in response, she yelled, "Stop blowing your own horn, Nicole. The entire reason why Grandpa is taking notice of you

now is because of the Fire Crest. You're nothing without it, nothing!
