Chapter 3225 "Yeah, it's not that we don't want to help; it's just that we can't do much," June agreed, knowing that adding to the complications wouldn't help. Getting too involved might make things worse, especially with Everett being so ruthless, as seen with Emma.
"Let's not talk about these sad things right now. Everything's okay for the moment, so let's be happy," Samuel suggested, raising his glass, "Con, let's drink." "Cheers," everyone said, taking a sip from their glasses.
"Mr. Johnston, Zane mentioned he's leaving soon, and the matter you arranged with him is about to conclude," Lulu said. "Is it related to Everett? " She was curious.

"Let's focus on the meal," Spencer suggested, noticing Lulu's slightly uneasy look.
Nicole, noticing this exchange, glanced at Jared. "What's going on with you and Zane?" She had also thought it was about Everett but now realized it wasn't the case.

"Future matters?" Spencer queried, puzzled, "Does Grandpa have other plans?" Daniel chuckled, "No, it's about the succession of the Riddle family. Grandpa intends for Sean to handle all matters concerning the Riddle family from now on." "That means Sean's responsibilities just got heavier," Samuel remarked thoughtfully.
"| believe Sean has been prepared for this for a long time. All we need to do is support him," Stanley added.
Spencer nodded in agreement, "Right, Sean can definitely handle it." Daniel then turned to Nicole with a smile, "Grandpa also has a wish for your wedding with Jared." "We're already arranging it," Nicole replied with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "Our affair seems to have caused quite a fuss for everyone."
