Sean, Steve, Jane, and Sally then made their way to the couch and greeted Mr. Riddle Sr. "Hello, grandpa."
"Have a seat." Mr. Riddle Sr. invited, his tone becoming a lot gentler, and his face radiant with smiles.
After everyone had settled down, the house butler brought the welcome gifts over, of which both were charms
made out of gold and jadeite. The charms themselves were green jades that had been carved into the shape of a
locket. The outer rim was framed with pure gold, and the tassels, which were also forged out of 24 carat gold, were
dangling below the locket, paired with chains of the same composition.
Once the gifts had been revealed, everyone was left in a state of shock. It seemed to them that the presents were
prepared a while ago, and not something that anyone could simply whip out of the shelves.
"Grandpa, this gift..." Nicole paused mid-sentence, taken aback by what she had just seen.
After all, Mr. Riddle Sr. had not been privy to Nolan and Lana's existence prior to today.
"I got someone to custom make these, and they were prepared as welcome gifts for my great grandkids." Mr.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRiddle Sr. said and turned to look at the rest. "When all of you have your own kids in the future, each one of them
will receive one."
Mr. Riddle Sr. had been hoping for new arrivals from the next generation of the Riddle family. Therefore, he had
hired a renowned jeweler to custom make these lockets a long time ago. However, not a single one of his grandkids
had children of their own, and for the longest time, there were no marriages even. Because of this, Mr. Riddle Sr.
was beginning to feel disappointed. He thought that he might not get any great grandchildren at all. Fortunately,
God had been kind to him, and the revelation that he actually had two great grandchildren was a testament to that
fact.
"Thank you, Grandpa," everyone thanked him in unison as they were touched by Mr. Riddle Sr.'s gesture of
preparing them gifts even before they had kids.
"Here, I'll put them on for Nolan and Lana," Mr. Riddle Sr. said, and proceeded to put the necklaces on Nolan and
Lana's necks.
"Thank you, great grandpa," the twins uttered in unison.
After Nolan and Lana had thanked him, they stared at their lockets in wonder and joy.
And once Mr. Riddle Sr. realized that everyone had arrived, he declared, "Let's eat."
"Grandpa, hold on." Nicole butted in, determined to clear the air before dinner began, as she knew the burning
question was still lingering in their minds.
"What's the matter?" Mr. Riddle Sr. sat up again and asked.
"It's about DillCorp." Nicole replied.
Hearing Nicole's response, everyone turned their gaze to Preston. After all, he was the only person present who
was directly related to Dillion's branch of the family.
"I have a rough idea about what happened. I’m saddened to hear about it, but Raine made her decisions. It's all on
her, and she'll have to bear the consequences of her actions." Preston stated candidly, albeit with a despondent
tone of voice.
Preston had received a call from his parents about the issue of DillCorp. However, he did not ask them much about
it as he was busy tracking down five Crests with Ryder at Finley Group. As such, he had only gotten a rough idea of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmeverything that had happened and the outcome of the entire fiasco.
Still, none of these things were of any importance to him since he was not interested in managing the company.
Aside from that, he thought that it would be good for his family to come to their senses after this particular
incident.
As soon as he had spoken, he looked at Nicole and asked," Since we're on the topic of DillCorp, did you invite me
here to ask me about something?"
Preston knew that Nicole had invited him over for a specific reason, but he had only come to discover the reason
for the gathering after he had seen Daniel's entire family present here.
Regardless, he believed that there must be a purpose for him in the gathering if Nicole had informed him about it.
"Erm." Sally coughed. "While you guys discuss company matters, I'll bring Nolan and Lana to the dining room."
Sally thought that the kids might be bored since the adults were going to discuss work-related topics.
Seconding that, Gloria said, "Good idea. Let's go together."
After she had spoken, Gloria and Sally stood up and brought the two kids to the dining room.
As for the rest of them, they remained because they wanted to talk about everything that had occurred, even
though some of them were not involved in the company.
