Chapter 2402
"Don't worry about them for now," said Nicole. "They'll most probably be in a mess for the next few days."
It was obvious that Harvey was not helping Everett this time around. Nicole was a little curious as to whether the
two of them would still collaborate in the future.
From the looks of it, Everett seemed to be obeying Harvey's orders. However, Everett was not someone that easily
manipulated. He had a mind of his own.
Perhaps Harvey could tell that Everett was just flattering him. In fact, Everett was using Harvey’s power. Therefore,
Harvey purposely agreed to Everett's request but did not bother about the matter. Harvey wanted to use this
incident as a warning to Everett.
Nicole thought it would be weird if these two could succeed in collaborating. Nonetheless, this was good news to
her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer mind at ease, Lulu then responded, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my desk."
"Alright, go ahead." Nicole nodded, and Lulu turned around to leave the office.
Leaning on the chair, Nicole let out a sigh. She did not expect Everett to cause such a huge scene. It was impossible
for Dillon and his family to take full responsibility.
Meanwhile at DillCorp, Dillon seemed crossed as he gritted his teeth. "Everett has really done it this time. I won't let
him off easily this time!"
"Dad, what are you thinking of doing next?" James mumbled.
Although they managed to save the company, James clearly knew that Everett would not stop there. So naturally,
they would not sit back and innocently suffer.
If they did not work harder, they would lose everything on top of being disowned by the Riddle family.
"Hmph! I suspect that they're responsible for the title of the family manor. Get someone to investigate this," Dillon
commanded angrily.
'If you want to be this cruel, don't blame me for being selfish.'
"But Grandpa had asked Uncle Daniel and his family to investigate. They found nothing." James felt that he was in a
hard position. Even if he were to investigate, he might not be able to find anything.
"Didn't you notice that Everett is the only one putting effort into it? The rest are taking it lightly." It was obvious that
Everett was in control of everything.
"That's impossible. Isn't Preston..." James did not finish his sentence. The rest might be taking it lightly, but it was
impossible that Preston would do so.
"Do you know how lazy he is? Even with the recent incident, Steve didn't look into it seriously." There was no way
that Preston and Ellar would investigate further.
James frowned and replied reluctantly, "Alright, I'll get
someone to look into it."
Although it would be challenging, Dillon and his family would be able to defend themselves if they could get
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmevidence of Everett's doings. On top of that, they would have a stronger voice and position in the family.
Dillon turned to Raine. "You should be smart too. Don't rely on James for everything. I'll be assigning more things for
him to do, so he'll be busy. You better not disturb him."
"I-" Raine felt a little wronged and wanted to defend herself, but James interrupted her.
"Dad, Raine has been really hardworking," he said. "Actually, I haven't really been helping her much."
Seeing the way James was defending her, Raine felt a lot better and replied, "I understand."
Dillon assigned a few more tasks to them. Then, Raine and James left his office.
"We didn't do anything wrong and got scolded yet again. Why doesn't he look for his secretary if there are any
issues? Why must he look for you?" Raine grumbled.
Although James stepped up and defended her, Raine knew that she needed James to help her when it came to
certain things.
"This is good news. In the future, we’d be more involved in the company operations. Don't worry. You can look for
me whenever you come across any problem. You'll always be my priority," James said, comforting Raine.
