Chapter 272
Dillon was so pissed off at this woman that he almost wanted to scream in anger.
“Apologize to Dad, now!” Even though Mr. Riddle Sr. was not in the company, he was the true chairman of Riddle Corporation’s board.
If he said something like this, the old man might already have some thoughts about him. Although Dillon was not the sharpest tool in the shed, he still had a keen eye for people’s moods. When Karen was yelled at by him, she looked at Dillon in disbelief.
She could not believe that he dared to treat her like this. ‘She had married down to the Riddle family, and Dillon had always been treating her like she was on a pedestal.
He had never spoken to her with such a tone before! She thought.
She looked at Dillon as she roared.
“Dillon Riddle, fine! Just you wait!” As she said that, she left the room fuming and slammed the door shut with a loud bang. Dillon’s expression grew even more sullen as he said respectfully to Mr. Riddle Sr., “Dad, Karen is being immature there.
Please don’t take this to heart!” Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at him with clear dissatisfaction.
“You’re this old now, and you still look down at Daniel.
You not only fail to teach your children manners; you can’t even control your wife?” Cold sweat was flowing down Dillon’s face as he quickly said, “Dad, it’s all my fault.
I will change!” Mr. Riddle Sr. snorted as he looked away from Dillon and said coldly, “Enough.
I’m tired.
Since everyone has seen it already, let’s go downstairs to eat.” He originally wanted to say something to his grandchildren, but now he felt that his strength was spent, and he wanted to get a good rest.
Nicole suddenly felt that Mr. Riddle Sr. was quite pitiful.
He was so ill, yet so few people cared about him. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Even when he came home, he still needed to preside over the overall situation, to look after the younger generation.
The Riddle family sure lacks the human touch. Dillon, being ignored, simply just stood that awkwardly.
He had lost all face, and when he looked at Daniel, a trace of hatred flashed across his eyes. It was because Daniel was in the limelight this time that the old man cared so much about him. ‘You want to step on me? No chance!’ It was only then did Snow, and Raine realize that grandpa’s attitude toward Uncle Daniel had changed. Everyone went downstairs, and they hurriedly went to their father to ask, “Dad, what’s going on?” Dillon glared angrily at Snow as he spat, “It’s because you are useless and allowed Nicole to grab the limelight.
Now Daniel’s entire family has gotten the old man’s favor.
We can only stand on the sidelines now!” Snow was distressed being chewed out by Dillon like that, but she dared not say anything.
She begrudgingly gave Nicole a glare.
The latter, seemingly sensing it looked back at Dillon’s family as she sat down and let out an impassive look on her face. Just as Dillon was about to take his seat, Nicole suddenly spoke.
“Uncle Dillon, let’s not rush to sit down first.” She casually leaned back, her voice impassive as if she was just stating a fact.
“Since everyone is here, it’s time to fulfill your promise, Uncle Dillon.
You still remember what you said to me outside the ward that time?” Damien was seated on the main seat as a glint appeared beneath his glasses.
He seemed to recall something and gave Nicole a strange look.
He never thought that she would remember this.
Remembering aside, she really wanted to pursue the matter! Samuel, too, seemed to be reminded of something as he suddenly said, “Yeah, Uncle Dillon said…” Before Samuel could finish speaking, Dillon’s face had become extremely sullen.
