Chapter 2015
"Besides, she’s a prodigy. I think even after a five-year gap, she would've come back stronger."
For Nicole to take on the role as the Chairperson for the Riddle Corporation, there would be more people that are in
support of it, due to Nicole's sudden reappearance. Those against it fell silent.
The situation was that there were a number of people who were rushing to acquire business deals with Nicole and
would want to terminate them if Nicole was not present, but they would reconsider if Nicole came back.
"Congratulations on being the Chairperson, Ms. Riddle." Whether it was sincere or not, everyone said their
congratulations.
Nicole's eyes scanned the sea of people as they went by her one by one. She responded to each and every one of

deal with the current situation swiftly.
'As long as there are no emergencies, the banquet should be a breeze.'
"Grandpa is clearly biased. Why didn't we get anything?" Raine's eyes were dark and had a deadly look. 'Of course
Nicole had to come back at this time. He even recovered when she returned. If it weren't for her, those shares
would've been mine. Why did she come back? Why didn't she die? It's been five years. Why is she back?'
"What do you even understand from this? As long as Nicole is here, we can't even get anything." Snow snorted
coldly.' After all these years of acting dumb, it's useless.'
Raine's face turned blue as she heard this. She looked at Nicole with more resentment. Raine was fuming the
longer she stared at Nicole.
"I won't let her have her way this easily," said Raine as she gritted her teeth.
Snow raised her eyebrows slightly. Then her eyes shone as if she got an idea.
"You two, stop standing here. Go and socialize," Karen told both Raine and Snow.
It was a great opportunity not to be wasted. Snow nodded obediently before turning around and walking toward the
crowd as she did not want to lose the chance to build connections.
Raine, on the other hand, yanked her husband in one hand before walking toward the crowd. Meanwhile, Daniel
and Dexter were busy making small talk with guests while Dillon and Damien were left with their spouses.
"Damien, why does Mr. Riddle Sr. look so lively? It can't be the reflection from the lighting, can it?" Karen said in a
low voice.
'The old guy wasn't looking good before. How can he be looking this lively now? Could it be that Nicole was telling
the truth? Maybe he was fine after all...' Karen turned to look at Dillon.

Dillon, who noticed his wife was looking at him hesitantly, gave her a hard look and said, "He recovered well."
'This woman can't keep her mouth shut. What's she doing now? Does she think others would suspect them?'
Karen felt Dillon's gaze and changed her expression. She replied in embarrassment, "It was what the doctor said,
for us to start preparing for our final goodbyes."
"True. His physical condition before was dreadful. How come when Nicole came back, he's fine as day. Did Nicole do
something?" Miley muttered in a low voice, hinting suspicion.
"As long as he's recovered, it's in our favor that our father is healthy and fine." Damien's voice was condensed, as if
he was wishing his father well, but the words were lofty sounding.
Both Dillon and Karen understood the hidden meaning, they could not help but nod along.
You're right.
