Chapter 2206
They sat down in the dining room, and the servants quickly served lunch.
Mr. Riddle Sr. had many questions he wanted to ask Nicole, but with Raine and James present, he suppressed his
curiosity.
They casually talked about family matters, and Nicole naturally played along, maintaining an enjoyable atmosphere.
After finishing lunch, Nicole prepared to bid farewell and leave.
"Nicole, are you leaving already?" Raine appeared reluctant to see Nicole go.
Nicole raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is there something you need, Raine?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had been wanting to leave for a while now. She only stayed because her grandfather asked her to have lunch.
Now that they had finished lunch, she obviously wanted to leave. Did they expect her to stay and keep them
company?
"I don't need anything in particular, but I figured that you should spend more time with Grandpa as you rarely visit,"
said Raine, with a caring expression.
Nicole understood well enough that Raine and James's sudden appearance here was not a coincidence. They were
probably suspicious of her and her parents' purpose for coming back, so they wanted to gather some information.
Unfortunately forthem, Nicole had no ulterior motives, and even if she did, she would never let Raine find out.
With a subtle smirk, Nicole pretended to hesitate and then said, "I have some things to take care of in the company.
If you don't have anything to do, why not stay and keep Grandpa company?"
'If you care about Grandpa, prove it with your actions, instead of pretending.'
Raine froze. Nicole was leaving, so how could she stay behind?
Besides, who said she had nothing to do? Nicole was clearly mocking her!
"Raine, let's not disturb Grandpa. We can visit him next time. " James timely intervened to defuse the situation.
Raine immediately responded, "Yes, I have a contract to discuss. It seems that I can't stay today."
"Alright, if you have something to do, hurry up and leave," Mr. Riddle Sr. grumbled, showing no intention of keeping
Raine.
"Well then, Grandpa, we'll take our leave," Raine said with a wry smile. She prepared to leave.
Nicole's eyes glinted as she sat back down, looking like she was in no hurry to leave.

Seeing this, Raine's face paled slightly. 'Is Nicole toying with me?'
However, she had already made up an excuse, so she could not just say that she was not leaving anymore.
Gnashing her teeth in frustration, Raine glared daggers at Nicole. 'That damned Nicole, she's making a fool of me!'
Nicole smirked, her eyes cold as she looked at Raine. Nicole had done it intentionally. She was willing to bet that
Raine would not be able to rest easy for the next few days.
Seeing Raine standing still, Mr. Riddle Sr. voiced his displeasure. "You just mentioned having a contract to discuss.
Why are you just standing there?"
"Oh, we're leaving now," Raine agreed reluctantly, still brimming with frustration.
Watching Raine and James leave, Nicole smirked triumphantly. Then, she turned to Mr. Riddle Sr. and said,"
Grandpa, I'm leaving too."
"Okay, go on now." Knowing that the company was busy lately, Mr. Riddle Sr. did not insist on keeping Nicole any
longer.
