Chapter 2322
"Come on, you're the boss. I'll come to get the result when the time comes." Preston was still happy after being scolded. He cheerfully got into the car and left.
"Hey, I didn't promise you anything." Steve rolled his eyes in exasperation. This was not what he meant by asking Preston to leave.
Ellar's expression lit up as he realized the cheat code and bowed toward Steve. "Thank you, Steve. I'll also be leaving now."
Ellar then quickly pulled Dexter and Emma into the car and ran away, fearing that he had to stay back to investigate the matter.
"Hey! You guys have gone too far!" Steve fumed, anger boiling in him. 'How could they? They actually shifted all the responsibilities to me, and are waiting to take advantage of what I find!'
Looking at the empty crowd, Steve rolled his eyes in frustration.
"Steve, you have to investigate this matter thoroughly. After all, it concerns your older brother and sister," Gloria said with a worried look.
Seeing Gloria's concern, Steve could only reluctantly promise, "I know, Mom. Don't worry about it."
He only blamed Preston and Ellar for not being loyal, but he was definitely going to investigate regardless.
"Dad, Mom, Let's go," Nicole said with a faint smile, unfazed by the situation.
Gloria felt sorry and even a hint of regret for coming to the Riddle manor today.
Helping Gloria into the car, Nicole informed Daniel, "Dad, you should go home with Mom. I'm going with Sean."
"No problem. Don't worry. I'll talk to your mom," Daniel promised, knowing the kids had other matters to discuss.
After everyone got into the car, they soon left the Riddle manor. Nicole, Sean, and Steve sat at the back of the car, watching the others drive away.
Nicole then asked, "So Sean, what's the situation now?”
Sean shook his head. "There's no news back to me yet."
