Chapter 2526
"W-Why? No. Not at all," Damien reluctantly denied upon catching a glimpse of Nicole's threatening gaze.
With that out of the way, Mr. Riddle Sr stated, "If that's the case, I'll have Alfred deliver Chloe's treatment fee to you
every month in the future."
After a slight pause, he added, "If there's nothing else, you may all leave."
With a weary look on his face, Mr. Riddle Sr. waved his hands, gesturing for the crowd to leave, whereupon the
house butler took charge and directed them out. "Mr. Riddle Sr. is tired and needs some rest. Please go home,
everyone."

him.
"Dad, let's go too," Nicole indicated.
She knew Mr. Riddle Sr. was mentally exhausted now, and above anything, she wanted to give him some space.
"Yeah, come on." Daniel sighed.
"Get some rest, Grandpa. I'll settle it," Nicole said whilst giving him a meaningful glance.
Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole, perplexed, and in a serious tone of voice, he said, "I appreciate it."
To that, Nicole smiled. "Come on, Grandpa. There's no need to say that. It's my job anyway. Don't worry about it."
"Yeah." Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed.
Then, with the help of the house butler, he trudged his way upstairs.
Watching as Mr. Riddle Sr.'s figure vanished up the flight of steps, Nicole's eyes narrowed. Mr. Riddle Sr. must be
feeling heavy-hearted, as he was clear about what Damien's intentions were.
After leaving the Riddle family manor, Daniel whispered, "I'll go home first."
Daniel then got into the car and drove away as Nicole and Jared entered theirs.
While they leaned back against their seats. Nicole groaned," Well, he had a good plan in mind."
Damien's motives were rather obvious. After he had declared bankruptcy and the company was auctioned off, he
wanted Mr. Riddle Sr. to step in and buy the company back. His plan was to get Mr. Riddle Sr. to hand it over to
them afterward.
With those intentions in mind, Damien even went as far as pushing Chloe out to elicit sympathy from the old man.

However, given that it was Damien's style of plan, Mr. Riddle Sr. had seen through him, and that was why he had
called Nicole over.
And with the fact that she was the current chairman of
Riddle Corporation, it would make more sense to get her to deal with it. After all, Nicole was in charge of all
company matters. Even the acquisition of NandoCorp required Nicole's approval, and while Nicole was determined
to seize NandoCorp, she would not hand it to Damien.
Meanwhile, Damien, Chloe and Miley had just left the estate after they had gotten into their car.
"Dad, Grandpa has agreed to pay for my treatment, but what about the company?" Chloe asked in a whisper.
Their intention today was not to discuss the treatment fee, but to ask Mr. Riddle Sr. to reclaim NandoCorp for them.
"That little shit, Nicole, must have done something on purpose," Miley barked.
Indeed, if Nicole had not shown up today, their plan would have succeeded.
