Chapter 2329
"Yes, sir."
After the servants had left, Nicole handed the file to Mr. Riddle Sr. and said, "I'm here to deliver this, of course."
"What is this?" He opened the file, and upon reading its contents, his eyes widened in astonishment. "Nicole, this..."
"Well, thanks to your wise planning, we've managed to retrieve the stolen items successfully," Nicole stated, believing that he would understand the intended meaning behind her words.
Indeed, upon hearing Nicole's words, Mr. Riddle Sr.'s face blanched.
He had tipped her off earlier, so Nicole's implication was that he had warned her about Damien's frequent visits to the house, prompting her to be vigilant, and ultimately leading to the recovery of the property deed.
As it turned out, Damien had a specific purpose for returning - to bribe the two gardeners, seize the opportunity when everyone had gathered around, and steal the deed to the property. If the deed had ended up in Damien's hands, the consequences would have been dire.
"Thank you for your hard work.’ Mr. Riddle Sr.'s tone grew heavy.
"It's okay, Grandpa. You can leave it to us to investigate
Everett. It's likely that he won't discover anything in the end, and I doubt anyone would guess that the deed is back in your hands. You can focus on keeping it safe after that.
Don't worry," Nicole said with a smile.
Mr. Riddle Sr.'s sullen mood improved, and that was when he flashed his granddaughter a wry smile and said, "Alright, I'll follow your advice."
With a darkened gaze, Nicole pondered on, knowing that she needed to keep an eye on the candidates eligible to be the next heir to the fortunes of the Riddle family. To her, no one else was qualified, apart from Sean.
This is especially true in the case of Everett. If the Riddle family ended up in his hands, the other families would not have it easy. This would only lead to critical concerns about the future developments of the Riddle family.
As the sun set and the afterglow lingered, everyone gathered in June's small apartment unit.
"Lulu, you're impressive! You've quietly slipped in ahead of me. When are you planning to get married? Have you set a date?" June teased with a laugh.
It was evident that she was genuinely happy for her friend.
Lulu playfully glared at June and said, "You're bombarding me with questions all at once. Which one should I answer first?"
