Chapter 2070
Karen looked at Nicole and sneered. "We're having a meeting, and you chose this specific time to visit your
Grandpa. What a coincidence, huh?"
"Why didn't anyone notify me about this meeting?" Nicole pretended to be confused.
"Don't you see that it's only among the elders? You're young, so you don't have to join us." Karen scoffed.
Nicole's gaze fell onto Raine. "So did Raine join on your behalf because your memory is deteriorating?"
"Why, you!" Karen was speechless and unable to refute. All she could do was glare at Nicole fiercely.
She had already told Raine to wait at home, but Raine had insisted on coming along, which was why she was in a
difficult position now.
"I came to visit Grandpa too. I didn't expect to encounter the elders having a meeting. Why don't we go out for a
walk, Nicole?" Raine displayed a clever and understanding demeanor. She even used morality to pressure Nicole

Nicole's lips curled with a hint of amusement. "Have you seen Grandpa already?"
"Yes, I've paid my respects and chatted with him for a while, " Raine replied. She was confused but had no choice
but to answer.
"In that case, you can leave first, Raine. After all, I just arrived and I still want to talk with Grandpa," Nicole said as
took a seat with Jared.
Raine was furious as her face turned pale. She was outsmarted by Nicole once again. 'After all these years, Nicole is
still sharp-tongued and quick-witted.'
What should I do now? I won't be able to hear anything if I leave, but I can't stay after saying those things earlier.'
"Raine, since Nicole decided to stay, let's stay as well. It might be awkward if they're the only younger ones
present," Raine's husband, James, mediated immediately.
Karen quickly took the chance to agree. "Yes, let's all stay."
After all, it also concerned their interests. Having two more people listen would bring in more ideas.
Nicole sneered as she shrugged casually, looking unaffected. It was like their decision had nothing to do with her at
all. She then turned her gaze toward the sofa where Mr. Riddle Sr. was sitting and observing everyone with a cold
gaze.
"You seem a bit unwell, Grandpa. Have you not been taking care of yourself properly?" Nicole frowned
discontentedly." Is it because of these unfilial children that your health is suffering?"
"Hmph. With these unfilial children around, how can I ever be in good health?" Mr. Riddle Sr. snorted in
dissatisfaction.
Damien and Dillion's faces turned grim. They could only force themselves to say, "Father, we're
only doing this for the good of the Riddle family."
"Grandpa, what's made you so angry?" Nicole squinted slightly as she realized that her relatives' return was not
purely for benevolent reasons.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Hmph!" Mr. Riddle Sr huffed in anger before looking at Nicole. "These people are coveting the properties that are
under our family's name."
"Properties?" Nicole was puzzled. The company and assets had already been divided among the branches, and her
grandfather's shares had been given to her. What else was there to be divided?
Mr. Riddle Sr. swept his sharp gaze over Damien and Dillion before saying in a stern voice, "I'm telling you. The
immovable properties under our family name are off-limits to all of you."
"Grandpa, you can't give it to Nicole again. Can you not be so biased?" Raine panicked when she heard that. She
had already married into a second-rate family, and her husband had no status within the family. If she could not
gain anything from the Riddle family, how was she going to live her life in the future?
"Whether I give it to Nicole or not is all dependent on Nicole's abilities," Mr. Riddle Sr. said firmly.
"Father, what do you mean by this?" Dillion asked in confusion.
'Even though Father favored Nicole so much, he's saying that there's no guarantee that she would inherit the
wealth of the Riddle family. Who else has a chance then?'
