Chapter 2320
Nicole had humiliated Raine just a while ago, so there was no way Raine would let Nicole off the hook now.
Nicole raised an eyebrow. "Guilty? Did you see me do it?"
"Only Sean and you went upstairs just now, and now something has happened. Can you really blame us for
suspecting you?" Raine grew more convinced as she thought about it. At first, Raine just wanted to press Nicole’s
buttons, but now she realized only Sean and Nicole had gone upstairs.
Hearing Raine's words, Karen immediately chimed in. "Now that you've mentioned it, there were indeed only you
two who went upstairs."
Nicole moved her arms and said meaningfully, "Have you forgotten why I went upstairs?"
Karen turned stiff. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision to provoke Nicole. If she had not done it, Nicole would have

"Maybe she hit your spot. If you hadn't been burned, you might have other excuses to go upstairs," Raine said
indignantly, convinced that something was wrong with Nicole.
"Alright, you’re saying I'm the culprit. But do you have any evidence?" Nicole looked at Raine calmly as her voice
turned colder. "If you can't provide evidence, I can sue vou
for defamation."
"Why I-" Raine instantly went silent, her face pale. She retorted weakly, "We were just discussing. But you're indeed
the prime suspect."
Sean and Nicole were the only ones who left the dining table. However, Raine also knew that even if Nicole was the
culprit, Nicole would not leave any evidence behind. So, there was no evidence now.
"Enough arguing," Mr. Riddle Sr.'s voice rang out, and everyone instantly stopped talking.
After glancing at the crowd, Mr. Riddle Sr. said, "Let's forget about calling the police. But this matter can't be left
unresolved. We must investigate thoroughly."
"How can we investigate?" Dexter frowned, thinking it was impossible for them to handle it on their own.
"Everett, Preston, Steve, Ellar," Mr. Riddle Sr. called out and instructed them, "The four of you will be in charge and
get to the bottom of this."
The four exchanged glances before reluctantly agreeing," Okay."
"Well, that's settled. Everyone can leave now." Mr. Riddle Sr. held his head wearily.
"Dad, get some rest. The kids will take care of this. All you have to worry about is your health," Damien reassured.
"We'll take our leave now."
"We're leaving too, Dad. You can wait for the news with peace of mind," Dillion ensured.
Dexter nodded at Daniel before bidding farewell to Mr. Riddle Sr. and leaving the Riddle manor.

reporting this to the police?"
Mr. Riddle Sr. had already chosen one from the four families to investigate separately. Additionally, he avoided
Sean, who was under suspicion. However, it was unlikely that these four would work together effectively during the
investigation. In truth, all of them had become suspects in Mr. Riddle Sr.'s eyes, and it was uncertain whether the
truth would be revealed.
Mr. Riddle Sr. took a sip of his tea, saying meaningfully," Yes. After all, we have to wash your dirty linen at home."
It was clear that the thief who took the property deed was not present, but the mastermind could be among this
group of people. Whether the situation was escalated by involving the police or conducting a quiet investigation, the
outcome would be the same. The discovery of any information would depend solely on these four individuals. That
was why Mr. Riddle Sr. decided to have people from the four families conduct their own investigations.
"You're going to great lengths, but..." The butler could not help but feel sorry for Mr. Riddle Sr. He felt that the old
man's heart must be hurting the most right now as all of the suspects were his sons.
