    Jane, however, was a little hesitant. After all, the purpose of the gathering was to discuss Dillon and


    matters rting to his family members. It was not any regr family gathering, so Jane felt that it was


    inappropriate for her to be there.


    "Just join us. In the future, you''ll have to handle a bulk of stuff in the Riddle family. Tonight, well be


    having what''s considered as an extended family gathering. Nn and Lana will be there too." Sean


    assured Jane.


    Hearing this, Jane agreed, "If that''s the case, I''ll join you then. 11


    To add to that, Nicole was nning to reveal Nn and Lana''s identity; thus, it most definitely was an


    asion Jane should not miss.


    "You should get back to work now. Well leave together after office hours."


    "Sure."


    Then, Jane agreed and turned around to leave the office.


    Meanwhile, Nicole and Steve were still making their way back to their rooms.


    "The entire issue with Harlow has not been resolved yet. I''m afraid well need a few more days as that


    scum''s lips are sealed tight. He''ll only admit to usations that are supported with solid evidence. For


    the ones without any


    solid evidence, he would not even utter a single word about it." Steve gritted his teeth, thinking that the


    man was extremely sly.


    "Even if he does not admit to it, he won''t be able to get away with any of it. Well see," Nicole replied


    with a frosty glint in her eyes.


    For all the things James had done, he would not be able to elude any responsibilities; not even a single


    one.


    "Yeah, he won''t be able to run away now." Steve huffed.


    Upon arriving at her office door, Nicole said, "I''ll get back to work now."


    "Alright. Ill meet Sally after work. See you at grandpa''s house tonight." Steve replied.


    Nicole nodded and opened the door to enter her office as Steve did the same. The both of them then


    got busy with their respective tasks.


    In the blink of an eye, the sun had begun to set. The Riddle family manor had also not been this lively


    in a while.


    However, the atmosphere had an eerie feeling to it.


    Mr. Riddle Sr. was sitting at the center, where he turned to Gloria and Daniel, and asked, "Where are


    they?"


    "Dad, they should be on their way here." Daniel exined, as he and Gloria had arrived earlier.


    However, Daniel could tell that Mr. Riddle Sr. was already not in a good mood.


    Daniel knew that it was due to the issue surrounding Dillion''s family and James. But since Nicole had


    stated that the results would be out that night, Daniel had to stay put and wait. He could not do


    anything tofort Mr. Riddle Sr, because he did not know what the oue of the issue was.


    While they were chatting, the trio of Spencer, Samuel and Stanley entered together.


    They were shocked when they did not see Nicole there." Nicole isn''t here yet?"


    "I think they''re reaching soon." Daniel nced at them and gestured for each of them to take a seat.


    Understanding Daniel''s signals and noticing that their grandfather was not in a good mood, the three of


    themposed themselves and approached Mr. Riddle Sr." Hello, grandpa."


    "Have a seat." Mr. Riddle Sr. said, his tone calm and gentle so as not to stress everyone out.


    The three of them looked at each other, sat down and remained silent.


    When they heard some noises emanating from the door, everyone''s gaze turned to it.


    But as soon as they saw that it was Preston, someone from the crowd gasped in shock. "What are you


    doing here?"


    The gathering that night was only made known to Daniel''s family. They did not inform the rest, and


    thus, they could only wonder why he had shown up.


    "Am I not allowed to be here?" Preston frowned and answered with a question of his own.


    "Sure." Everyone choked for a moment.


    Then, Samuel invited, "Come and have a seat.”


    Since Preston was already there, there was no way they could chase him out. So, they decided to wait


    for Nicole toe in before they proceed.


    "Grandpa, why do you look so angry?" Preston asked, noticing that Mr. Riddle Sr. had a sour look on


    his face.


    ''Could grandpa be sick again? Is that why Nicole gathered us here today?'' he wondered.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Mr. Riddle Sr. looked up and gave Preston a nce, after which he frowned and said, "Sit down."


    "Oh." Preston responded.


    Then, he sat down next to Samuel and whispered, "What''s going on?"
