After Nicole had settled with Mr. Riddle Sr., she was going to see Gloria downstairs.
Steve and Sean had also come to the mansion, sitting in the living room talking with each other, frowning
as if they were discussing something tricky.
When they saw Nicole come downstairs, they both tacitly stopped their discussion.
“You’re here, too, Nicole!”
Nicole nodded in response, her eyes staying thoughtfully on her two brothers.
Sean and Steve had quickly changed their topic of conversation, but Nicole could hear them talking
about how Sebastian Wyance changed his attitude all of a sudden.
But Nicole did not know who that person was, nor did she give it a second thought.
Sean did not want Nicole to get involved in these things, and Steve obviously thought the same thing.
He smiled gently at Nicole and asked, “Where are you going?”
Nicole said nothing but looked over at the kitchen at the other end.
Sean and Steve followed her gaze, and their expression turned gentle when they saw Gloria was busy in
the kitchen.
“Let’s go.”
Nicole looked at Sean and Steve impassively and asked casually, “Has something happened in the
company?” Sean and Steve were both slightly stunned by her question.
But it was Sean who first reacted, looking at Nicole with a solemn face.
“Nothing.
You don’t have to worry about it.” Her voice was imperceptibly gentle.
They just wanted their sister to live her life happily. Nicole could hear the undertone of what Sean said
and looked at them with growing, gentle eyes. Sean had a cold personality, but he still cared about
Nicole very much.
“Yeah, don’t worry about that.
Let’s have dinner,” he said with a smile. “Yeah, don’t worry about it.
Let’s have dinner,” Steve also said, smiling.
Knowing that they were trying to keep her out of worries, Nicole walked toward the kitchen, saying
nothing more.
When Gloria saw Nicole, she fetched Nicole a bowl of soup.
Steve and Sean saw that, and Steve sighed softly.
“I hope this remains the same every day.” Sean said nothing, but his expression, which was warmer than
usual, said it all.
They stood quietly for a while before walking toward Mr. Riddle Sr.’s room.
They did not know exactly what had changed Sebastian Wyance’s attitude, but they had to tell Mr. Riddle
Sr. about it, which was the purpose of them here tonight.
After they turned around and left, Nicole gently raised her eyes and looked thoughtfully in the direction
they had gone.
Gloria looked on affectionately as her beloved daughter drank the soup.
“Slow down.
The soup is hot,” she said gently. Nicole looked at Gloria.
“It’s okay.
It’s not hot.” As she drank a spoonful, Gloria quickly took out a napkin and gently wiped the corners of
Nicole’s mouth.
“What have Sean and Stave been busy with lately?” Nicole asked expressionlessly. Gloria’s face
changed.
She and Daniel were not involved in any matter of Riddle Corporation, but the tender was very crucial,
and Mr. Riddle Sr.
had still divulged some details to them.
Knowing that Riddle Corporation had invested almost half of its fund into the tender, Gloria stopped what
she was doing and nervously clasped the napkin in her hand.
Nicole watched her expression and seemed to have understood something.
“Are things not looking up now?” she asked softly.
Gloria looked at Nicole with surprise.
“Who told you this?” Nicole looked nonchalant, and she bluntly said, “Just now, I heard Sean and Steve
discussing it. “It’s about the tender.
They have been well prepared for it, but there is news that McCarthy Corporation has moved into high
gear these few days.” Gloria sighed softly and worriedly.
