Chapter 2527
Damien darted a glance at Miley and Chloe, and in an icy tone of voice, he said, "This is father's decision."
After all, if Mr. Riddle Sr. really wanted to help them, Nicole would have no choice but to follow the old man's wishes.
Hearing those words uttered made Miley's face blanch." What about our future? I don't want to end up in such a miserable situation as Dillion."
If Mr. Riddle Sr. refused to help them, their family would really have no way out.
Enraged, Damien glared at Miley and said, "Hold your tongue, woman! I'm not as stupid as he is!"
"My apologies." Miley timidly backed down.
Then, Chloe frowned and asked Damien, "Dad, what are your plans?"
"Give me a damn minute," Damien said in frustration. "Now of all times, Everett is unreachable."
"I'm afraid he can't expose himself to the public eye right now. He’ll contact you when it's convenient and safe to do so," Chloe gritted her teeth. "I guess we truly are on our own right now."
"We're on our own?" Damien stared Chloe down. "What is that supposed to mean?"
Due to the current predicament they were in, they had no one to rely on.
"Everything happened because of Nicole. Everything would have been smooth sailing if we had dealt with Nicole," Chloe explained, her eyes glinting with malice.
And indeed, as long as Nicole was taken care of, all their other problems would turn to dust.
Damien silently stared at Chloe for a moment before deciding, "You're right. Once we've taken care of Nicole, the other problems won't matter."
The father and daughter exchanged glances and understood each other's intentions without another word from one another.
