Chapter 2139
"Dad, why did you call us here today? Did something happen?" Dexter asked directly after sensing everyone’s
silence.
To be frank, everyone had more or less heard the rumors. But Dexter did not understand why Mr. Riddle Sr. called
them back, seemingly wanting to say something after things had already come to an end.
"I have no idea either. Let Dillon speak.” Mr. Riddle Sr.'s expression turned gloomy as he glanced at Dillon.
"Dillon?" Dexter and Daniel turned their gaze to Dillon, realizing he was the one who gathered them here today.
Nicole too realized this fact just now. 'Seems like Dillon has yet to say anything. He must've wanted to directly
address Damien in front of everyone. As for me, maybe Grandpa decided to call me back at the last minute, and it

Dillon did not expect Mr. Riddle Sr. to call Nicole back to the Riddle family manor. But since the story had played out
like this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and talk.
Gritting his teeth, Dillon got hot under his collar as he handed a document to Mr. Riddle Sr. "Actually, I intended to
ask Dad and my few brothers to sit in judgment for me,"
"Sit in judgment for you?" Damien raised his eyebrow slightly. He said meaningfully, "Dillon, what do you mean by
this? Are you in trouble?"
Damien already knew Dillon had found someone to take the blame. Therefore, he did not understand what his
intentions were by summoning everyone gathered here today.
Dillon's expression turned even angrier. He glared at Damien with hate. "Damien, stop pretending. Do you still think
I'm clueless?"
"What's this about?” Damien frowned. Deep down, he felt a vague sense of unease. He felt that Dillon was targeting
him today.
"Hmph!" Dillon grunted in exasperation. He once again turned his gaze to Mr. Riddle Sr. "Dad. I bought up and
reported the headquarters' manipulation of the branch companies' stock values, but now I realized I was set up by
Damien. Here's the proof I found. Take a look,"
Dillon slammed the documents on the table while displaying anguish and outrage. "Dad, you have to back me up.
He's my brother, yet he tricked me."
Nicole's mouth twitched. She thought, 'Wow, Dillon is going all out with this act!'
Mr. Riddle Sr. calmly picked up the document and opened it to read the content. He then looked at Damien, saying,"
What Dillon is saying is that the evidence he found against Nicole was deliberately revealed to him by Everett. Is
that true?"

Looking at Mr. Riddle Sr.'s unruffled demeanor, Damien unconsciously clenched his hand. He tried to suppress his
uneasiness and acted calm. "Dad, I'm afraid there must be a misunderstanding. Everett has no reason to do so."
"He has no reason, but if you ordered him to, could he refuse it?" Mr. Riddle Sr. commented. What was more, these
two were birds of the same feather. No one would believe that Damien did not instruct Everett to do so.
"Damien, Dillon, y-you guys. Is this perhaps a misunderstanding?" Dexter asked in confusion. He was still a little
bewildered and could not understand what was happening.
"If there's a problem, it's best to investigate it thoroughly," Daniel voiced out solemnly. He needed to know if
Damien actually had done it or not, but it was not because he wanted to widen the gap between Damien and Dillon.
If Damien really had done it, he would only be bitterly disappointed in him and feel more heartbroken for Nicole.
