Chapter 2142
"Alright." Mr. Riddle Sr. raised his head to look at his third son.
Daniel wanted to leave, but Nicole shook her head toward him. So Daniel sat back down again. In the end, Dillon
had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
After everyone was gone, Nicole advised Mr. Riddle Sr. with a smooth tone. "Grandpa, you should really leave this
matter alone."
"How can I not worry? They think they’re clever clogs and try to deceive others like fools." Mr. Riddle Sr. was in a
horrible mood. Two of his disappointing sons added up were not even as clear-headed as his granddaughter.
Mr. Riddle Sr. knew very well that they were intrigued with each other, and tricking Nicole, his precious

"Grandpa, don't worry. No matter what they do, I'm not a fool, " Nicole said with a pouty look, comforting Mr. Riddle
Sr.
The older man was originally in an irritating mood, but Nicole's words uplifted him.
"Dad, are you really going to let them go for this matter?" Daniel asked tentatively. Deep down, he was rather
furious by his brother's actions, but he was even more distressed for Nicole.
Mr. Riddle Sr. chuckled. "Your decision to retire was a correct choice,"
"What?" Daniel did not expect his father to blurt out this sentence.
'What did he mean? What has this matter got to do with my retirement?' Daniel thought.
'TH let Nicole explain." Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed helplessly.' Daniel was too kind-hearted, and his personality doesn't suit
the business industry.'
Daniel still looked confused, but Mr. Riddle Sr. stood up and said, "Come, eat dinner with me."
"Alright," Nicole agreed. She stood up and helped Mr. Riddle Sr. to the dining room.
Shaking his head with a chuckle, Daniel followed them. The family had a simple dinner. During the dinner, no one
mentioned Damien and Dillon, only casually chit-chatting about the matters of the headquarters.
"Well, what do you know? We needed you to manage Riddle Corporation after all." Mr. Riddle Sr. nodded in
satisfaction.
"Grandpa, Sean's doing a great job too." Nicole smiled with a bright face. Mr. Riddle Sr. was stunned and soon
understood Nicole's meaning. He could not help but tease her. "You cheeky girl. Are you planning to slack off?"
"I could assist Sean," Nicole said naturally.

Seeing that Nicole had made up her mind, Mr. Riddle Sr.
pondered before saying, "Sean is indeed suitable."
In Mr. Riddle Sr.'s heart, his best candidate was no doubt, Nicole. Yet, if Nicole did not want to inherit the Riddle
family, Sean would be the strongest and most capable person to take charge among others.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. You once said you would give the inheritance to the one who is most capable. Sean naturally
got it with his skills," Nicole said, her eyes full of confidence.
They had to make it evident that it was based on merit and allow others to embrace it voluntarily since they could
not leave their opponents with an excuse. Strength and capability were the sole acceptable qualification for
achieving it.
"Sean does have the capability, but..." Mr. Riddle Sr. paused and said hesitantly, "You already made such a decision
to step off the position, so why did you leave everyone else to misunderstand you?"
If Nicole clearly stated that she was not interested in the inheritance, the others would definitely not find any
trouble for her. Nicole shrugged indifferently. "It's the same. Are you saying I should stay out of it by shifting the
attention to Sean?"
