Chapter 2444
Nicole was also taken aback. 'How did I know? Well, I just mentioned it in passing, didn't I?'
In the midst of it all, Mr. Riddle Sr. furrowed his brow. "Why wouldn't she know?”
"Um..." Preston quickly shook his head, realizing that he had misspoke. "No, it's nothing."
Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole again, his eyes tinged with curiosity. 'Preston seemed surprised. Am I missing out on
something?'
"Everyone knows what your dreams are, buddy," Jared said as he looked at Preston indifferently.
Hearing that, Preston immediately agreed, "Yeah, everyone knows."
"Yes, all of us do,” everyone chimed in.
Mr. Riddle Sr. felt that something was odd, but he could not pinpoint it, so he darted his eyes at each and every

"Grandpa, do you think my plan is okay?" Nicole asked with a faint smile.
"Well, since Preston doesn't want to manage DillCorp and only wishes to run a tech company, let's do it as you have
planned." Mr. Riddle Sr. agreed after Nicole had interrupted his thoughts.
"Grandpa has agreed, so if you have no objections, it's settled," Nicole said to Preston.
"No objections from me, and I have to thank you too," Preston replied. 'If it weren't for Nicole, DillCorp would have
been lost, and I'd never have gotten a chance to open my own tech firm.'
"Right. Then it's settled," Mr. Riddle Sr. decided.
Then, everyone looked at Preston. "Well, congratulations, Preston!"
"Thank you, thank you all!" Preston smiled, brimming with elation.
This had always been his dream, and Nicole had made it come true at long last.
Mr. Riddle Sr. had already forgotten about his suspicions and was now in high spirits as he went on to chat with
everyone about Preston's tech company.
"Dad, let's have dinner first," Gloria called out to them when she noticed that everyone had not gone to the dining
room yet.
If they continued with the conversation, their dinner would get cold.
"Okay, let's dig in first, shall we?" Mr. Riddle Sr. invited, and they all headed to the dining area together.
After taking their seats at the dining table, they ate and chatted away. It had been a long time since the Riddle
family manor had been this lively. Their previous visits had always ended on a sour note, but this time, there was
laughter and joy.
After dinner, everyone got up and began to leave.
It was getting late, so Daniel and Gloria proceeded to take Nolan and Lana back home. Staying back for too long

One by one, everyone left, but not Nicole, who stayed back as requested by Mr. Riddle Sr. Preston had also
volunteered to stay, as did Jared.
After everyone had said their goodbyes and driven off, Mr. Riddle Sr. asked Nicole, "About James, how will he end
up?"
"Grandpa, the evidence is conclusive. He won't be getting away," Nicole replied calmly.
Mr. Riddle Sr. nodded. "That's good."
No one had expected James, who had initially seemed so honest and kind, to turn out to be a fraud, one who had
almost cost the Riddle family a large fraction of their assets.
"Grandpa, what about Uncle Dillon and his family? How do you plan to handle it?" Nicole furrowed her brows and
asked.
He had asked her to stay to discuss this, but she wanted to hear his opinion as well.
With that, Mr. Riddle Sr. raised an eyebrow. "What about you? What do you think?"
