Chapter 2475
'Is Lawrence the key to all this? Does he know something?' Jared thought.
Meanwhile, Nicole strode into DillCorp's CEO's office, and when she arrived, she looked around the refurbished
room with a satisfied smile.
"Nicole, you made it!" Lulu exclaimed, entering the room with several people in tow, each holding a folder.
"Ms. Riddle," they greeted with a nod, and lined up before her.
Nicole took her seat, briefly met their eyes, and began, "Fill me in."
"Due to poor management, DillCorp has gotten itself embroiled in financial troubles, making it hard for it to achieve

"We've noticed discrepancies in our accounts and are looking into them."
"I also believe we should reconsider the employment of some of our staff. Some might not fit into our vision."
Hearing the reports, Nicole massaged her temples. She knew DillCorp had its share of issues, but she had not
realized the extent of them.
Taking a deep breath, Nicole replied, "I get it. Despite everything, I'm impressed with how quickly you've all
stabilized DillCorp. I believe we can truly grow with all of you leading the way."
"Thank you, Miss Riddle," the group replied. "We're on it."
"Just focus on your jobs. I'll be around for a few days to handle some company matters. I won't intervene with your
tasks unless it's absolutely necessary. Just bring me the reports on time and according to schedule," Nicole said, her
voice steady and calm.
She had shown up mainly due to some issues pertaining to Everett, not to oversee DillCorp's operations. If anything,
she had complete faith in the team she had chosen.
"Yes, Miss Riddle," they acknowledged, before leaving the room.
"Nicole, we're a week ahead of your predictions," Lulu said, her eyes shining with excitement.
Nicole nodded, satisfaction evident in her gaze. "Everyone has certainly shown what they're capable of."
"That's because you've got a good eye for talent. Weren't you the one who picked all of them?" Lulu asked.
Nicole raised an eyebrow. "The best decision I've ever made was bringing you into Riddle Corporation."
"Obviously," Lulu shot back, chin tilted up in mock pride, before bursting into giggles.

All of a sudden, a knock was heard on the door, and the secretary stepped in. "Here are the documents you asked
for, Miss Riddle."
After setting them down, she exited, and Nicole began perusing the papers while Lulu observed her closely.
"What's the verdict?" Lulu asked, her eyes fixed on Nicole as soon as she had placed the documents down.
"It's just as I thought," Nicole replied, her voice icy and deep. "Everett has indeed planned to take advantage of
DillCorp's weaknesses to deal us a devastating blow."
"And if he can't own it, he'll tear it apart. Sounds just like him, " Lulu added with a shake of her head.
"After all, Everett always thought he'd inherit DillCorp," Nicole said with a determined glint in her eyes. 'He must be
really bitter now that it's in my hands.'
"So, what's our next move?" Lulu asked.
