Samuel had gotten the wrong idea. "Why should I shut up? We're twins. If you're the only one to have a girlfriend, then others would laugh at me.
How could I be left behind!?"
"You!" Spencer uttered, and was left speechless soon after. ‘His brain cells are literally close to none!"
Gloria was amused, and Daniel covered his mouth in a fit of pigeon laughter, entertained by the silliness displayed by Samuel.
Meanwhile, Sean and Steve, who could no longer hold laughter back, busted out in a fresh gale, leading the entire family to burst into a laughing fit, leaving a confused Samuel at loss.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" He joined them in merriment as he watched his family guffawing away at him.
The Riddle family on Daniel's side were filled with laughter, but at Damien Riddle's residence, it was dark and gloomy.
"Damien, what's been going on recently? There were rumors in that b*tch's circle that the fourth son of the Riddle family is now in charge of the company. Do you know how they're treating me right now?" Miley asked.
The Rogers family had been removed from the list of top ten most influential families after the incident. Miley had initially regained power by relying on the Riddle family. She was thriving with the recent recovery of Mr. Rogers Sr., who was totally counting on her. However, everything was cut short as the news of Damien having no real power at the company spread, which left Miley being outcast once more.
‘How can he be so calm?’ she wondered.
Damien had a prickly expression on his face, "What are you screaming about? Do you think I wanted this? It was those big influential families that wanted to work with Daniel. They didn't contact me at all. Daniel is now managing all the new projects."
The golden era had finally dawned upon the Riddle family, but sadly, none of those major projects landed in Damien's hands.
‘It seems to me that I'm the nominal director and president of the company now, with no real power!’ Damien began to worry that after all this while, Mr. Riddle Sr. would cast him aside just like how the old man had done to Daniel before.
"How can you sit around? You're the boss! Aside from Mr. Riddle Sr., you're the person with the biggest percentage of shares in the company. He won't kick you to the curb now, will he?" she asked.
Damien's eyes darted toward Everett. He had his attention on him ever since he defended Damien's family. Though he was often sidelined, Damien noticed that his son was still under Sean's company, making progress, and not just idling around like he was.
"Everett, you're working under Sean's company as the branch manager, right? Therefore, you should know his business well, don't you?"
Though Damien spoke vaguely, Everett instantly knew that his father had queried him the way he did to test if there was a turning point in their given situation. Everett had long waited for this day; the day when his father would pay attention to him.
He opened his mouth and calmly said, "I very much do. Daniel has six major projects under his belt, all of which are tremendously profitable with an estimated revenue of more than 500 million dollars."
"That much?!" Damien's eyes widened, as both him and his wife were left perplexed.
Damien had managed the company for so many years, and yet, the highest in revenue per annum.
‘The Riddle family is going to change! Even with such massive profits, they won't get any benefit from it as they'll just be paid a dividend at the end of the year. This is really infuriating, to just sit around and be unable to do anything"
"This does not include the four major projects in their hands. There are seven or eight more minor projects on the side altogether. I'm afraid it'll be around three to four billion in revenue as Stanley had recently joined the company," Everett continued.
"Enough." Damien interrupted, his head dizzy upon hearing the news.
Miley too, was stunned. "Two of their four sons have joined the company?!"
Three years ago, Mr. Riddle Sr. had allowed his grandchildren to join the company, during which only Sean and Everett were allowed, as they were the eldest in their family. And because Everett had not managed to graduate with a management degree when he first joined the company, Sean was already working as his superior. As a result, Everett had to work under Sean, which got Miley feeling very distressed. To top that off, it was unforeseen to them that Stanley had been selected to join the company.
