“Yes.” Sean smiled slightly. “Thanks to you, the Riddle family’s business partners have been stabilized.
I have much more time now.”
There were quite a few business partners offering them collaboration ever since Mr. Wyance’s visit to
their house. Those contracts that were about to be terminated continued to be honored again. Hence,
Sean had fewer things to worry about now.
“All thanks to you, Nicole,” Steve smiled proudly.
Nicole quickly said, “It wasn’t because of me. Mr. Wyance is impartial. He helped us because you guys
are competent.”
Sean and Steve glanced at each other. Although Nicole was still young, she knew when not to take
credit. They were impressed.
“Alright. It’s difficult to get everyone in this family to gather. Let’s sit down.”
The Riddle family was being bound hand and foot when Norah was still living with them. Now that she
was gone, the Riddle family was finally truly reunited.
Soon, the butler ordered people to serve food. The Riddle family sat together.
That was the first time Nicole felt at home without outsiders.
Got to say, the atmosphere in Nicole’s family was way better compared to the time when Norah was
still part of them. The Riddle brothers did not need to reserve from showing Nicole care.
“Nicole, try this. This is good.” Spencer put food on Nicole’s plate.
Samuel poured a glass of juice for Nicole. “This is very tasty.”
“Thanks, brothers.”
Sean smiled as he saw Spencer and Samuel were being so attentive to Nicole. “You guys, why are you
being so attentive to Nicole?”
Spencer and Samuel glanced at each other. ‘Damn it. Did we make it too obvious? What if the others
suspect Nicole’s injured?’
They quickly sat back down.
Steve glanced at Nicole secretly. ‘She looked like she did something wrong. Stanley dared not to look
at Mom and Dad either. The four of them are hiding something.’ But Steve did not expose them.
Instead, he took this chance to speak to his father. “Ever since we got the land that the McCarthy family
fought with us, our share price recovered. Sean secured a few projects as well. We’ve finally turned the
table around.”
Daniel was relieved. “That’s great. You guys should help your grandpa more. Got it?”
“Okay.” Steve smiled. “I’ve handled our stock well. Don’t worry, father.”
Daniel patted Steve on his shoulder satisfyingly. “What’s going on with the McCarthy family now?”
Daniel said that as he thought, ‘They’re not an easy foe. They suffered a loss. I’m afraid that they won’t
give up so easily
Steve glanced at Sean. Sean then said, “After the loss, they lost a few of their important business
partners to us. It appeared that they ran into a funding gap too. They probably don’t have the time to
deal with us. They have enough on their plate.”
“Oh?” Daniel froze slightly. “No wonder they fought so hard with us over the land.”
Daniel thought, ‘This year’s economy is bad. Seems like the McCarthy family is affected too.’ He then
reminded his sons, “But do still be careful. The old crook from the McCarthy family is a handful.”
“Got it.” Sean nodded his head. He then looked at Daniel as he said, “Dad, you actually know the
company very well… Why don’t you talk to grandpa about…?”
Daniel shook his head without letting Sean finish his sentence. “It’s alright. The company has always
been managed by Damien and Dillon. I want to stay out of it.” He preferred to spend more time with his
children
Nicole realized something at this point. ‘Everyone in the family had been saying that dad left the
company due to poor health. But only now do I know that dad actually knows everything that’s going on
with the company. Just that the company isn’t his priority.’
Nicole went upstairs leisurely to shower after dinner.
Just when Nicole got out of the bathroom, Gloria brought a few outfits for her.
“Mother, why did you bring me so many things?” Nicole’s eyes were filled with surprise as she saw
Gloria bringing her so many outfits.
“You tell me.” Gloria reproached, “Every girl likes to dress up. When Norah was still with us last time,
she went shopping every weekend to buy clothes. But you, you only have a few clothes after you’ve
been with us for so long.”
