Chapter 2319
A smirk appeared on Nicole's lips when she noticed Karen's visibly agitated appearance. She genuinely hoped
Karen would go up and check the situation. It's hard to even imagine how suspicious Karen would look once people
start to notice how involved she was during the situation.
The dining room fell into silence, everyone waiting quietly. All had the same thought in mind, thinking what could
have happened.
Finally, Mr. Riddle Sr. returned downstairs with heavy steps.
"Dad, what's wrong? You don't look well.” Daniel instantly got up, helping Mr. Riddle Sr. to sit on the couch.
In such circumstances, no one was in the mood to enjoy their meal. Therefore, everyone gathered in the living

"Dad, did something bad happen?" Dexter asked with concern.
"Well..." Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed. "Someone broke into the house."
"Is anything missing?" Dillion asked, with an unusual expression. 'Damien gathered us all here today, and
coincidentally there was a break-in at home? The Riddle manor had no incidents for many years, so why today?'
"Dad, what's lost? Judging by your expression, it must be something important?" Damien noticed Dillion's stare and
subtly shifted his gaze away.
With Damien's question, the low murmurs that had been going on suddenly halted. Everyone was curious about
what went missing.
Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed. "The Riddle manor's property deed is gone."
"What?!" Everyone was utterly shocked.
"But what's the point of the thief taking the property deed of the house?" Stanley asked, puzzled.
Having the property deed did not mean one had the right to sell it or apply for a loan. It was practically useless to
obtain the property deed.
"They probably thought that this old man wasn't going to live for long,” Mr. Riddle Sr. said meaningfully, and his
gaze swept slowly over everyone. Mr. Riddle Sr. figured that the loss of the property deed might be related to his
unfilial descendants.
"Dad, how can you say that? You're in absolutely great shape, " Daniel said, disagreeing to comfort his father.
"That's right. Don't overthink it, Dad," Dillion concurred." Besides, the loss of the property deed has nothing to do
with your health."
Regardless of Mr. Riddle Sr.'s health, the property deed was useless to the person who took it.

"We should report the case. To at least get it back," Dexter suggested. He figured it was best to capture the culprit,
as
other matters could be dealt with later.
Just as Dexter finished, the living room grew even quieter. The four brothers looked at Mr. Riddle Sr. At this
moment, none dared to speak out of turn as it was Mr. Riddle Sr.'s decision.
"Grandpa, I don't think the police should be involved. If we report the case, the news will spread to all of San Joto.
This news will have an impact on the Riddle family," Nicole softly proposed.
Mr. Riddle Sr. gave a gentle nod but did not immediately agree to Nicole's idea. He appeared to be deep in thought,
considering her words.
"Nicole, are you against reporting to the police because you're feeling guilty?" Raine seized the opportunity to
accuse Nicole.
