Chapter 2443
"Alright, Nicole. What were you saying?" Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole, and everyone's gaze turned to her.
With a stern look on her face, Nicole began, "The truth is, I have assigned someone to keep an eye on James for a
while now. So, I'm aware of everything that he has done."
"You're aware of everything?" Samuel asked, shocked. "Well, what about the assets he has siphoned from DillCorp?"
"I'm aware of that too." Nicole nodded. "Because of that, he did not succeed."
As expected, those words left everyone dumbfounded. "He did not succeed? What does that mean?"
"We went straight to the root of the problem and rendered all of James' work and efforts futile. Moreover, he left a
trail of crumbs and got himself arrested." Steve shrugged his shoulders and said as if it had all been done
effortlessly.
"So?" Everyone stared at Nicole, their eyes brimming with hope.
Does that mean that DillCorp did not suffer any losses because Nicole had stepped in.'

"Good job!" Spencer shouted, overjoyed. He finally understood why Lulu always appeared to be calm whenever
the issues pertaining to DillCorp were mentioned. He had initially assumed that they were just wishing Raine the
worst, as they loathed her, but as it turned out, Nicole had been ten steps ahead all along.
Mr. Riddle Sr. became even happier upon hearing the news." I knew it! With you around, nothing can fail."
Even though everyone had split up and had gone on to run their own companies separately, DillCorp was still a part
of the Riddle Family's business. Due to this very reason, Mr. Riddle Sr. would not be able to take it if it ended up in
someone else's hands.
Fortunately for him, Nicole was there. Now, Mr. Riddle Sr. could finally enjoy some peace of mind, without having to
worry much about the company affairs anymore.
"Nicole, then why are you..." Stanley looked at Preston's direction as he said.
He was curious as to why Nicole invited Preston over.
Knowing what the question lingering in Stanley's mind was, Nicole asked, ’ Preston, what are your thoughts on
DillCorp?"
"Since it's in your hands now, you can deal with it however you want," he answered, glad that the outcome was
better than anticipated due to the fact that it did not end up in the hands of an adversary.
"How about I return it to you?" Nicole raised her eyebrows and asked with complete seriousness.
Preston widened his eyes in shock. "Me?"
"Yes, DillCorp belongs to your family. Initially, I thought that it'd be better off in my hands than in Uncle Damien's.
But since you are the son of Uncle Dillion, it's only right that I pass it back to you. After all, you're the son of the
original owner." Nicole explained.
Preston shook his head. "I don't think it's a good idea. Will Everett even stop eyeing DillCorp if you pass it back to
me?"
After all, there would be no guarantee that Preston would do a better job than Dillion or Everett if he were to take
over.
"I think we should spend some time and think about this matter." Stanley pondered and turned to Mr. Riddle Sr."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrandpa, what's your opinion on this?"
Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole, and then at Preston. He was also hesitant to voice his opinion regarding the
ownership of the subsidiary.
He thought that what both Stanley and Preston said made sense, but he would not force Nicole to retain the
company if she did not wish to either.
"If that's the case, what if we build a technology firm for you? " Steve smirked as he knew that Preston was very
much against managing a company.
"A tech company? Are you being real?" Preston asked, his mouth agape.
Nicole nodded. "Of course it's real. Isn't it your dream to have a technology company of your own someday?"
In the past, Preston was held back by his father, who had disallowed him from running a company of his own, as
Dillion wanted him to inherit DillCorp. Therefore, his dream was put on hold, and he never ended up opening one.
Still, he never returned to DillCorp either.
"It is," Preston replied, after which his eyes widened in shock. "How did you know this? Aren't you..."
Didn't she lose her memories? How did she know about this?' Preston wondered.
