Chapter 2143
"I won't. No matter who it was among us, or who would continue the family name. We would help each other in time of need instead of going against each other."
But then again, having to fool everyone wasn't a nice move as I'm not exactly the most favored by everyone here.
Realizing how Sean came out to help me, the chances of winning are now higher than ever.'
To Nicole, the Riddle family could live up to their names due to her and her brothers. Other than that, she could not envision what the Riddle family would turn out to be if it were to fall into the hands of others.
Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole in satisfaction, with a hint of regret in his eyes. 'Only someone like her could pass down the family name. This is a blessing to our family. It's a shame she doesn't see the glory in it.'
"Dad, since the kids are still young and you're still in tip top shape, it's still too early to put things into perspective. We can discuss this in the future." Daniel comforted Mr. Riddle Sr.
Everyone in the room understood that Nicole was his favorite, but they also knew that Nicole was unwilling to bear all these burdens of responsibilities, and wanted to live her life as she wishes to.
"Whether it's now or later, it's not up for you to decide." Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed helplessly, oblivious to the others who had already initiated their plots.
Mr. Riddle Sr. turned to glance at Nicole, his face filled with some unsaid worry.
Nicole looked at Mr. Riddle Sr. with a calm look. "Don't worry Grandpa, I can protect myself well enough. Also, I have so many people taking care of me."
Nicole was not afraid of anything, the attention of her uncles had entirely shifted to her, which brought out a stronger advantage for Nicole. She wanted to see the reactions of her uncles when they heard that Sean would inherit the family business.
"Jared can protect you too," said Mr. Riddle Sr. Nicole was already used to people mentioning Jared's name around her, so it was natural for Mr. Riddle Sr. to mention his too.
The corners of Nicole's lips twitched. 'I meant to say the brothers of mine... but something tells me that I should keep my mouth shut and it isn't something to be easily explained. Otherwise, another round of misunderstandings could happen again.’
