My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2843

Chapter 2843

Jared gently caressed Nicole's hair. Although moments of joy and peace like these made her content, he knew that all of the happiness the Riddle family enjoyed was only possible because of her. Having been through the trenches, she had endured and suffered her fair share of misfortune to make all of this happen. Thankfully, she had gotten what she wanted.

After dinner was over, Benjamin called Sean and Nicole over to the study.

"Grandpa?" Sean asked with some confusion, "Why did you call us here? Is there something going on?"

After casting a glance at Nicole, Benjamin turned his gaze to Sean and nodded. "Yes."

Although she was surprised, Nicole had a vague feeling about what her grandfather was going to discuss. A faint smile crossed her face there and then.

"Grandpa, are you planning to announce this only to the two of us?" Nicole playfully teased.

With a defeated smile, Benjamin replied, "You guessed it."

"Clearly." Nicole grinned.

It was rather obvious, so Nicole had no problem guessing what this was all about. Benjamin had only called them both in, which meant that Benjamin had likely called them in to discuss who the successor of Riddle Corporation was going to be. Benjamin was likely to favor Sean now, or so Nicole hoped.

Sean darted his eyes at Nicole, then back at Benjamin, understanding what was about to unfold.

"Have you made a decision, Grandpa?" Sean inquired.

Seeing that the both of them understood why he had brought them here, Benjamin prefaced the discussion by saying, "I called you here to hear your opinions."

"Alright." Nicole agreed.

Since they were all here, there was no better time to make the announcement other than now. After all, this matter had been put on hold for the longest time, so it would be in everyone's best interest to settle it right this instant.

After a while, the three of them emerged from the study. Everyone in the living room was already subdued when Nicole, Benjamin, and Sean were in there, but when they came out, the room became dead silent.

Everyone looked at them, each harboring their thoughts and guesses. They were wondering what could have happened to prompt Benjamin to call Sean and Nicole into the study for a private discussion.

"There's something I would like to announce," Mr. Riddle Sr. said, sensing everyone’s curiosity. "I've decided that Sean will be the successor of our family."

"What?!" everyone exclaimed in surprise, finding the news somewhat abrupt and shocking.
