Chapter 2526
"W-Why? No. Not at all," Damien reluctantly denied upon catching a glimpse of Nicole's threatening gaze.
With that out of the way, Mr. Riddle Sr stated, "If that's the case, I'll have Alfred deliver Chloe's treatment fee to you every month in the future."
After a slight pause, he added, "If there's nothing else, you may all leave."
With a weary look on his face, Mr. Riddle Sr. waved his hands, gesturing for the crowd to leave, whereupon the house butler took charge and directed them out. "Mr. Riddle Sr. is tired and needs some rest. Please go home, everyone."
Damien shot Nicole one last glare before leaving, while Miley pushed Chloe's wheelchair out the door from behind him.
"Dad, let's go too," Nicole indicated.
She knew Mr. Riddle Sr. was mentally exhausted now, and above anything, she wanted to give him some space.
"Yeah, come on." Daniel sighed.
"Get some rest, Grandpa. I'll settle it," Nicole said whilst giving him a meaningful glance.
Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole, perplexed, and in a serious tone of voice, he said, "I appreciate it."
To that, Nicole smiled. "Come on, Grandpa. There's no need to say that. It's my job anyway. Don't worry about it."
"Yeah." Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed.
Then, with the help of the house butler, he trudged his way upstairs.
