Chapter 2321
"Don't worry. It'll be back.’ Mr. Riddle Sr. stood up.
Seeing Mr. Riddle Sr. preparing to go back to his room, the butler asked, "You haven't finished your dinner. Why don't you eat some more?"
"I'll pass. I have no appetite." Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed.
The butler helped Mr. Riddle Sr. up the stairs and comforted him, "Don't worry, Nicole would never do such a thing. It must be a coincidence."
"I know she didn't." A thought flashed through Mr. Riddle Sr.' s mind then. It seemed as if Nicole was giving that person a chance to commit the crime. Perhaps Nicole had already figured something out.
Mr. Riddle Sr.'s decision to have the four families investigate was merely a compromise. The situation happened right under their nose when everyone was present. It was only natural to have everyone investigate it. No matter the result, the outcome would be accepted collectively. However, Mr. Riddle Sr. still held hope in Nicole, thinking she might know something.
Meanwhile, Damien and Dillion had already left. Daniel and Dexter were in the courtyard discussing the matter," Something doesn't feel right."
"Let the kids handle the matter. We'll talk when the result is out."
"Well, that's all we can do for now."
They both sighed in unison, their mood growing heavier.
"Nicole, you have to help me with this," Ellar begged.
"What?" Nicole blinked, feeling confused. 'What help does he want?'
"About the investigation, duh. It's not like I know anything about it," Ellar said, with depressing and lifeless look.
Sean glanced at Ellar and remarked, "Nicole and I need to avoid suspicion."
