Chapter 2844

"Dad, don't you think it's still a little too early to appoint a successor?" Daniel advised. "I mean, you can still decide on it a few years later."

Hearing that, Karen stepped in and echoed, "Daniel is right. There's no need to rush into this, Dad."

However, Benjamin, who was not keen on being persuaded, waved his hand and insisted, "I'm old now. Can't you let your old man enjoy a peaceful retirement? Anyway, it is set. Sean will be the one making all the decisions regarding the family business in the future."

Seeing that Benjamin had already made his mind, everyone relented, though not without hesitation.

"Daniel, Dad doesn't want to manage the family affairs anymore. He just wants to enjoy his retirement. Personally, I think it's fine for him to decide who to appoint and announce it now," Dexter butted in.

After all, they would just be delaying the inevitable if they stalled the announcement for a few more years, so it was ideal to just let Benjamin pass the torch to someone else and enjoy his peace of mind.

"You're right. Dexter. Let's just go along with Dad's arrangement," Dillion concurred.

Benjamin was already dead set on what he wanted from the very beginning. The announcement he just made was a

statement, not a call for discussion. In addition, Nicole was around, and because she had agreed to let Sean take on the role of the head of the Riddle family, his decision was final.

At the end of the day, Nicole and Sean were the only ones called into the study to discuss this matter, indicating that he would not listen to be persuaded to listen to anyone else. Thus, everyone would have no choice but to accept his pick.

"Well, it is decided, then," Benjamin concluded. "If there's nothing else, you may all go home now."

"Okay," everyone responded.

But after everyone had left, Karen pulled Preston aside.

"Mom, is everything okay?" Preston asked.

Feigning anger and dismay, Karen chided, "You've been busy all day. Am I not allowed to talk to you for a while when I see you?"
