Chapter 2117
Mr. Riddle Sr. trusted Nicole. Even if Dillon and Damien said they had evidence, they would not have anything
against Nicole.
"Grandpa, we're the ones suffering a loss here. Why can't you put yourself in our shoes?" Raine was so angry that
her face turned pale as she spoke.
'I thought that by gathering everyone, Grandpa would be fair. And yet, he's still siding with Nicole. All the evidence is
pointing towards Nicole. Why is he still siding with her?'
"Raine, I remember that when the branch office was in trouble, you asked Preston to return and help out. Why isn't
he here today? What did he say at that time? Could you repeat it for everyone here?" Sean glanced at Raine coldly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis calm tone gave a kind of pressure through them.
Raine's face turned even paler. It was because Preston said that there was no other problem except that a loophole
existed in the company's system. Therefore, they did not inform Preston about the gathering. They knew that his
words would be a disadvantage to them.
However, Raine did not expect Sean to know that she had approached Preston. Based on Sean's tone, he must
have known Preston's final judgement on the matter.
"There was such a thing?" Mr. Riddle Sr.'s pupils narrowed and looked towards Raine with a stern look.
Raine's face instantly turned pale again. She did not know how to handle the situation at that moment.
Obviously, Preston's final conclusion was a thorn in their side. Raine could never reveal it. But if she did not reveal
it, what was she supposed to do now?
Dillon glared at Raine unhappily and said, "You better shut up. No one will think you're dumb if you keep quiet."
Mr. Riddle Sr. had already been siding with Nicole. And yet, Raine decided to talk about the matter at this moment.
The rest were out of words. Were they really going to say that Preston thought there was no issue?
They knew that they would not gain anything from Mr.
Riddle Sr. that day. But when Dillon thought of the evidence gathered, a firm look appeared in his eyes. Since it was
the only way to go, they will wait for the result from the police.1 Let's see what dad will have to say when the time
comes.'
Dillon did not seem to be happy, and Raine dared not utter another word. She looked down with her pale face to
avoid any attention on her.
"Dad, it's such a rare moment where everyone's back. It's almost dinner time too. Why don't we start eating?"
Dexter could tell that the atmosphere was tense, so he made a suggestion with the intention of easing the mood.
"Hmph! We’re not eating anymore. My stomach is full of anger from all of you. Get out!" Mr. Riddle Sr. waved his

'All of them have been complaining about Nicole as soon as they arrived here. Do they really think I'm blind and
incapable of making judgments? Everyone only thinks about gaining that small bit of advantage for themselves.'
'Dad, calm down. We'll leave now and visit you another day." Dillon was the first to stand up and leave.
"Please don't visit me often, so I can live longer," Mr. Riddle Sr. said angrily.
Dillon's expression froze. Then he turned around and left.
Karen could only follow after him and leave. Snow, Raine and James had no reason to stay either.
Seeing this, Damien also brought Miley and Everett out of the house.
"Dad, we're leaving too." Dexter did not want to anger Mr. Riddle Sr. as well.
"Dad, Nicole hasn't left yet. Let's stay." Alex did not want to leave yet. He looked at Nicole with some excitement in
his gaze.
Ever since Nicole had returned, he had not had a chance to talk to her.
