Chapter 2311
The atmosphere was unusually depressing. Steve could not help asking, "Sean, did Uncle Damien really show no signs of motive?"
Sean shook his head. "We didn’t find anything odd."
And it was exactly because they did not find anything odd that everything seemed fishy.
"Previously, Grandpa mentioned that Uncle Damien visits him frequently. Could Uncle Damien be eyeing the family manor?" Nicole guessed.
After all, Miley and Karen had been eyeing Mr. Riddle Sr.'s assets. They did not manage to get any of the company's shares, nor any right of inheritance from the Riddle family. They must be yearning to get something.
"But what would Uncle Damien want from the family manor? Grandpa wouldn't allow it anyways." Steve was still confused.
Nicole frowned. 'It's true that there's nothing in the manor that Uncle Damien could easily take. If he really were aiming for something, it'd be something which Mr. Riddle Sr. hadn't noticed.
'So, what would be something that Grandpa hasn't noticed? In family manor, there's-' All of a sudden, Nicole recalled something, and her eyes darkened.
"The land certificate of the family manor," Sean slowly uttered.
Seeing that Sean had come to the same conclusion, Nicole nodded in agreement. "That seems to be the most probable thing."
Steve gritted his teeth. "He really has the guts to think about that!"
Damien actually had his eye on the family manor. If everything went his way, would Mr. Riddle Sr. be able to handle? He would most likely be angered and fall sick again.
"Their sight is only guided by money," Nicole said coldly.
