Chapter 1723


    It was especially true for Damien and Dillon. Dexter, who had been listening by the side and not


    speaking, had no intention to participate in this skirmish. But when he heard about splitting the family


    up, it was a huge matter and he could not help but stand up.


    "Nicole, you''re still young, you must be calm when dealing with trouble..."


    Nicole looked at Dexter. Thetter''s family was always fair toward her family and had never bullied her


    parents, but there were some things that even they could not help.


    Nicole lowered her tone as she looked at Dexter. "I won''t force you if you don''t want to split up, Uncle


    Dexter, but today, I''ll represent my parents in asking to split away from Uncle Damien and Uncle Dillon.


    Each family shall only deal and profit from their projects, and no longer have anything to do with one


    another henceforth."


    Mr. Riddle Sr. was slightly taken aback. He never thought that this little girl could be so stubborn and


    decide upon such an important matter just like that!


    He had lived for so many years now and this was the first time he felt that his position as head of the


    Riddle family was just for show!


    Yet, Nicole was now the wielder of the Fire Crest, and all of the family''s businesses increased because


    of her, so, no matter how she wanted to allocate things, he was powerless to stop her.


    Seeing Mr. Riddle Sr. keeping quiet, Karen got anxious. "Dad! You''re the head of the house! Nicole is


    literally stepping all over you! You can''t just listen to her like that!"


    But Mr. Riddle Sr. only felt worn out when he looked at Karen. "I''ve already given Nicole my shares.


    Moreover, thepany''s being managed by Daniel and Sean right now. So, I''ll leave the call to them."


    His heart knew very well that when Damien and Dillon were managing thepany, Daniel never once


    took more than what he was entitled. Even when he had shares, Daniel never took the full amount of


    dividends due to his guilty conscience.


    Now that the tables had turned, Damien and Dillon wanted to take advantage of him. He could not turn


    a blind eye to this.


    "Dad!" Karen waspletely bbergasted. She totally did not expect the old man to leave them to


    their own devices just like that!


    "Dad, you can''t do this..." Damien did not expect this either. He had thought that he had the upper hand


    and to end up like this, even the image of calmness that he had cultivated for so many years quickly


    came apart.


    Nicole saw that Mr. Riddle Sr. was conflicted and yet, he still handed her the right to make the decision.


    She took a deep breath.


    She was still very grateful for his love for her, but if she were to soften her stance now, it would only


    serve to give Damien and Dillon more opportunities to cause trouble in the future.


    So, she decided to get rid of the root of the problem. "Don''t worry, Uncle Damien, Uncle Dillon. Since


    you said that today''s issue was because of us, then we''ll take over all of the loss-making projects and


    hereinafter, any losses will be borne by us. We''ll pay you your fair share ording to the original


    agreements signed with the partners. But simrly, after this, all of the projects managed by my father


    and brothers no longer have anything to do with the two of you. Both of you shall no longer enjoy any


    profits or dividends from any of their projects."


    Nicole''s voice was calm, the logic of her words crisp and precise.


    Sean did not expect that Nicole, who was just a college student, seemed to have a thorough


    understanding aboutpany contracts.


    "No!" Karen panicked. "Who do you think you are? Who are you to dictate terms in this family?!"


    As she said that, Karen attempted to shove Nicole.


    But Nicole deftly dodged to the side and Karen, losing her bnce, staggered and fell onto the ground!N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
