Chapter 2846
Nicole smirked, "Mom, there's really nothing for you to worry about. Grandpa had decided to announce it today just because everyone was present."
"Oh, that's good," Gloria said, not feeling as tensed up now. ” My only problem lies in the fact that it was just so sudden. I think I just need some time to process this information."
"I too did not expect that Grandpa would appoint his successor today, but since he has already done it, we'll just follow through with his wishes. Sean is on board too," Nicole explained, telling her parents why she and Sean were in agreement with Benjamin's ruling.
"Alright then. It's settled." Daniel nodded.
They were in no position to change anything, and the idea of Sean inheriting the vast fortunes of the Riddle family was not something they should frown at either.
"I have a question. When we were leaving, why did Karen make Preston stay?" Lulu frowned and asked.
"We all know what she's thinking about. Let's just not entertain any of her crap. Don't worry about it. Dillion and Preston won't join in on her madness," June chimed in, her lips pursed in annoyance.
"Oh, so you're saying that..." Lulu's eyes widened as a sudden realization dawned upon her.
Then, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Is she never going to repent for her actions? I mean, come on. Has she not learned her lesson?"
It seemed that Karen had failed to understand why she ought to back down and live the rest of her life in peace, even after all the suffering she had experienced when she was out there living in the streets.
"It's okay, she won't be able to do anything. All she can do is think about it," Nicole calmly replied.
"That's true. She won't ever make it anywhere by herself," Lulu agreed.
Even if Karen was unhappy with Benjamin's decision, there was nothing she could do to change his mind or turn the situation around.
"It's getting late. Let's all get some sleep." Nicole looked at Nolan and Lana, who were already swaying back and forth drowsily in Jared's arms.
"Okay." Everyone nodded, having noticed that Nolan and Lana were exhausted.
Soon, everyone returned to their respective rooms, and after Nicole and Jared had tucked the little ones in, they did the same as well.
