Chapter 2205
No matter how tough it got, she could rely on Sean, so there was absolutely no need for Samuel to sacrifice his
dreams and passion for her sake.
"You cheeky girl," Mr. Riddle Sr. felt a little helpless, for there was nothing he could do but agree.
"Dad, did you say that the situation is complicated?" Suddenly realizing that something seemed off, Daniel looked at
Nicole with a worried expression.
Nicole flashed a faint smile and pursed her lips. "It's nothing. The company has been quite busy recently."
"If the company is so busy, why do you still have the time to come here and chat with Grandpa?" a sarcastic voice
echoed from the doorway.
A frown came over Nicole's face as she looked toward the door.
Raine and James were walking side by side, and after giving Nicole a smug, meaningful glance, Raine turned to Mr.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRiddle Sr. and greeted, "Grandpa."
"Why did you come back?" Mr. Riddle Sr.'s expression instantly turned cold.
Raine's smile almost vanished, so she forced another and explained, "We were discussing a contract and we just so
happen to pass by the family manor, so we wanted to come
in and see you, Grandpa."
"Hmph, I don't need your concern." Mr. Riddle Sr. said in an unpleasant tone of voice, as he did not have a good
impression of Damien and Dillon's family.
"Grandpa, how can you say that? We really care about you." Raine immediately defended herself.
Why does Nicole have the freedom to come whenever she likes, but I have to be on the receiving end of a scolding
when I visit him? We're both his granddaughters!' she thought.
Thinking of Damien and Dillon's family who were concerned about their share of the inheritance, Mr. Riddle Sr.'s
grimace became even more sour. "You only care to know who will inherit my assets after I die!"
Raine wanted to argue, but James stopped her in the nick of time. He shook his head, indicating that he wanted her
to hold it back.
Reluctant, she gritted her teeth and ultimately calmed down.
"Grandpa, we were passing by your house. That's why we came to visit you. We didn't know Uncle Daniel and his
family were here too. Perhaps, we came at the wrong time and disturbed you by accident," James carefully
explained with a feigned look of guilt on his face.
"You're alright, sit down." Mr. Riddle Sr. said, remaining indifferent though he was no longer angered.
James and Raine sat down together, and James asked
Daniel about Samuel's condition, appearing to be concerned too.
Nicole squinted her eyes at that sight. James was truly skilled at pretending. If nothing happened after he and Raine
had joined DillCorp, perhaps everyone would have been deceived by this unfavored outcast from a mediocre family.
"Grandpa, it's about time for me to leave." Nicole decided, as she was no longer interested in tolerating James and

After all, she had completed her objective of coming over today. It would make more sense for her to return to the
company and do something productive.
Mr. Riddle Sr. glanced at the time. It was almost noon, and he did not want Nicole to leave yet, so he said, "I've
arranged for someone to prepare lunch. Let's eat before you go.”
"Nicole, there's no rush." Daniel shook his head at Nicole.
Seeing the look of reluctance on her grandfather's face, Nicole smiled and agreed, "If there's good food, of course,
I'll stay."
"Ho ho," Mr. Riddle Sr. laughed, seeing how mischievous his granddaughter was.
"Father, let me give you a hand." Daniel helped Mr. Riddle Sr. up-
"Let's eat." Mr. Riddle Sr. said and made his way toward the dining room with Gloria and Nicole in tow, while Raine
and
James exchanged glances before following suit.
They were not there to eat but to see Nicole. 'They visited Grandpa out of the blue. What's their motive?'
At that moment, they were busy wondering about Nicole's motives for the visit, so they could not simply let their
guard down.
