Chapter 2322
"Come on, you're the boss. I'll come to get the result when the time comes." Preston was still happy after being
scolded. He cheerfully got into the car and left.
"Hey, I didn't promise you anything." Steve rolled his eyes in exasperation. This was not what he meant by asking
Preston to leave.
Ellar's expression lit up as he realized the cheat code and bowed toward Steve. "Thank you, Steve. I'll also be
leaving now."
Ellar then quickly pulled Dexter and Emma into the car and ran away, fearing that he had to stay back to
investigate the matter.
"Hey! You guys have gone too far!" Steve fumed, anger boiling in him. 'How could they? They actually shifted all the
responsibilities to me, and are waiting to take advantage of what I find!'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking at the empty crowd, Steve rolled his eyes in frustration.
"Steve, you have to investigate this matter thoroughly. After all, it concerns your older brother and sister," Gloria
said with a worried look.
Seeing Gloria's concern, Steve could only reluctantly promise, "I know, Mom. Don't worry about it."
He only blamed Preston and Ellar for not being loyal, but he was definitely going to investigate regardless.
"Dad, Mom, Let's go," Nicole said with a faint smile, unfazed by the situation.
Gloria felt sorry and even a hint of regret for coming to the Riddle manor today.
Helping Gloria into the car, Nicole informed Daniel, "Dad, you should go home with Mom. I'm going with Sean."
"No problem. Don't worry. I'll talk to your mom," Daniel promised, knowing the kids had other matters to discuss.
After everyone got into the car, they soon left the Riddle manor. Nicole, Sean, and Steve sat at the back of the car,
watching the others drive away.
Nicole then asked, "So Sean, what's the situation now?”
Sean shook his head. "There's no news back to me yet."
"What's going on with you two?" Steve whispered. Although he had a hunch, the situation's development still
surprised and bewildered him.
"Nicole created an opportunity for them to act. We've already sent people to keep an eye on them, but it's still
uncertain if they found anything yet," Sean replied, his gaze slightly dark.
"But you guys..." Steve's eyes subconsciously darted to Nicole's arm.
"It's fake. I dodged it at the time. She didn't actually burn me.
" Nicole waved her arm, laughing.
The pieces suddenly fell into place for Steve. "Oh, so that's how it is!"
"If we didn't create an opportunity for them, we wouldn't know when they would act. I was just going with the flow,
saving them from finding another opportunity," Nicole explained coldly, smirking.
If Damien had the audacity to target the Riddle manor, Nicole would ensure that he never got a chance to possess

"Well, it seems like I can relax now," Steve said, feeling the burden on his shoulders lighten.
"Yes, you can," said Sean.
Nicole smiled as she knew what Steve was up to.
Leaning against his seat, Steve muttered with a carefree look, "Looks like Everett is going to be the only one doing
a proper investigation."
After all, Everett's family were the ones behind it. Everett had to investigate 'seriously' to at least divert their
suspicion off the matter. All Steve had to do was to keep an eye on Everett to avoid him from tampering with the
evidence. As for the rest of the investigation, Steve could just copy them exactly as they were.
"Don't make it too obvious and let Grandpa catch onto what you're doing," Nicole reminded Steve with a glare.
"He won't," Steve assured complacently. "I'll have to remind
Preston and Ellar too."
Steve was not going to let those two lazy bastards directly copy his work.
