Chapter 1723
It was especially true for Damien and Dillon. Dexter, who had been listening by the side and not speaking, had no
intention to participate in this skirmish. But when he heard about splitting the family up, it was a huge matter and
he could not help but stand up. "Nicole, you're still young, you must be calm when dealing with trouble..."
Nicole looked at Dexter. The latter's family was always fair toward her family and had never bullied her parents, but
there were some things that even they could not help.
Nicole lowered her tone as she looked at Dexter. "I won't force you if you don't want to split up, Uncle Dexter, but
today, I'll represent my parents in asking to split away from Uncle Damien and Uncle Dillon. Each family shall only
deal and profit from their projects, and no longer have anything to do with one another henceforth."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMr. Riddle Sr. was slightly taken aback. He never thought that this little girl could be so stubborn and decide upon
such an important matter just like that!
He had lived for so many years now and this was the first time he felt that his position as head of the Riddle family
was just for show!
Yet, Nicole was now the wielder of the Fire Crest, and all of the family's businesses increased because of her, so, no
matter how she wanted to allocate things, he was powerless to stop her.
Seeing Mr. Riddle Sr. keeping quiet, Karen got anxious. "Dad! You're the head of the house! Nicole is literally
stepping all over you! You can't just listen to her like that!"
But Mr. Riddle Sr. only felt worn out when he looked at Karen. "I've already given Nicole my shares. Moreover, the
company's being managed by Daniel and Sean right now. So, I'll leave the call to them."
His heart knew very well that when Damien and Dillon were managing the company, Daniel never once took more
than what he was entitled. Even when he had shares, Daniel never took the full amount of dividends due to his
guilty conscience.
Now that the tables had turned, Damien and Dillon wanted to take advantage of him. He could not turn a blind eye
to this.
"Dad!” Karen was completely flabbergasted. She totally did not expect the old man to leave them to their own
devices just like that!
"Dad, you can't do this..." Damien did not expect this either. He had thought that he had the upper hand and to end
up like this, even the image of calmness that he had cultivated for so many years quickly came apart.
Nicole saw that Mr. Riddle Sr. was conflicted and yet, he still handed her the right to make the decision. She took a
deep breath.
She was still very grateful for his love for her, but if she were to soften her stance now, it would only serve to give
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDamien and Dillon more opportunities to cause trouble in the future.
So, she decided to get rid of the root of the problem. "Don't worry, Uncle Damien, Uncle Dillon. Since you said that
today's issue was because of us, then we'll take over all of the loss-making projects and hereinafter, any losses will
be borne by us. We'll pay you your fair share according to the original agreements signed with the partners. But
similarly, after this, all of the projects managed by my father and brothers no longer have anything to do with the
two of you. Both of you shall no longer enjoy any profits or dividends from any of their projects."
Nicole's voice was calm, the logic of her words crisp and precise.
Sean did not expect that Nicole, who was just a college student, seemed to have a thorough understanding about
company contracts.
"No!" Karen panicked. "Who do you think you are? Who are you to dictate terms in this family?!"
As she said that, Karen attempted to shove Nicole.
But Nicole deftly dodged to the side and Karen, losing her balance, staggered and fell onto the ground!
