Chapter 2846
Nicole smirked, "Mom, there's really nothing for you to worry about. Grandpa had decided to announce it today just
because everyone was present."
"Oh, that's good," Gloria said, not feeling as tensed up now. ” My only problem lies in the fact that it was just so
sudden. I think I just need some time to process this information."
"I too did not expect that Grandpa would appoint his successor today, but since he has already done it, we'll just
follow through with his wishes. Sean is on board too," Nicole explained, telling her parents why she and Sean were
in agreement with Benjamin's ruling.
"Alright then. It's settled." Daniel nodded.
They were in no position to change anything, and the idea of Sean inheriting the vast fortunes of the Riddle family
was not something they should frown at either.

"We all know what she's thinking about. Let's just not entertain any of her crap. Don't worry about it. Dillion and
Preston won't join in on her madness," June chimed in, her lips pursed in annoyance.
"Oh, so you're saying that..." Lulu's eyes widened as a sudden realization dawned upon her.
Then, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Is she never going to repent for her actions? I mean, come on. Has she not
learned her lesson?"
It seemed that Karen had failed to understand why she ought to back down and live the rest of her life in peace,
even after all the suffering she had experienced when she was out there living in the streets.
"It's okay, she won't be able to do anything. All she can do is think about it," Nicole calmly replied.
"That's true. She won't ever make it anywhere by herself," Lulu agreed.
Even if Karen was unhappy with Benjamin's decision, there was nothing she could do to change his mind or turn the
situation around.
"It's getting late. Let's all get some sleep." Nicole looked at Nolan and Lana, who were already swaying back and
forth drowsily in Jared's arms.
"Okay." Everyone nodded, having noticed that Nolan and Lana were exhausted.
Soon, everyone returned to their respective rooms, and after Nicole and Jared had tucked the little ones in, they did
the same as well.
"You must be tired, huh?" Jared asked upon noticing that Nicole was feeling a little weary.
"It's okay," Nicole softly muttered, her eyes already trained on the bed.
She was indeed ready for a good sleep. Seeing that her attention was already on the bed, Jared smiled and led
Nicole toward it.
After placing her down and tucking her in, Jared gently kissed her in the forehead and said, "Sleep well."
Nicole chuckled and reached out to hug Jared, after which she planted a gentle kiss on his lips. "Goodnight."
Following an affectionate rub on her head, Jared embraced her. "Goodnight."

Then, Jared watched her as he gently stroked her face, his eyes brimming with love and affection for her.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and before they knew it, two days had passed. On the third day, Nicole came to
Riddle Corporation as usual.
"Mr. Ellison!?" Nicole called out, surprised to see Thomas." Why are you here?"
"I came because I'd like to ask for your help." Thomas sighed.
Nicole narrowed her eyes upon hearing that. "Is it about Harvey?"
Thomas hesitated for a moment as he looked at Nicole." Can we talk about it in private?"
"Sure, come on in," Nicole said, leading Thomas into the office.
After they had both taken a seat, the secretary came in with two cups of coffee.
"Mr. Ellison? I must tell you that I probably won't be able to help you with anything," Nicole candidly stated, knowing
what Thomas's intentions were.
"I know. It's just that I can't think of anyone else who can do it other than you," Thomas sighed. "Harvey hasn't
shown any signs of improvement for the past few days. I'm genuinely worried that he'll keep deteriorating if he
keeps this up."
