"You've never thought of targeting them, but you didn't think letting them have allowed them to get stronger? Now even we are being affected by that!" Dillon growled. "What do you plan to do about this? My project got taken away by the Fisher family and I've lost close to a million! Damien lost even more."
When Dillon said that, he did not forget to use Damien as ammunition as well.
Seeing that the two were clearly here to cause trouble, Sean hissed somewhat angrily, "There's always ups and downs in business. My father hadn't anticipated this and you're now pushing the blame on him, Uncle Dillon?"
When Dillon heard that, he blew his top. "What do you mean by that? You're saying I'm pushing my responsibility to him?"
Karen, who had followed Dillon here, initially did not want to speak, but seeing that her husband was on the back foot, she could not help but interject. "Who's actually pushing their responsibility aside is still up in the air! If you two weren't butting heads with the
Fisher family, we wouldn't have been affected by your conflict! In the end, it's all your fault!"
When she saw Karen pointing her finger at her father and brother, berating them, Nicole walked up and hissed, "Your mouth sure is something, Aunt Karen. Turning facts upside down with just a few words, shifting your own incompetence as other's faults."
The moment Nicole spoke, everyone immediately turned to look at her.
When Mr. Riddle Sr. saw Nicole, his eyes widened. “Nicole, you're back."
"Yes." Nicole nodded before saying to Mr. Riddle Sr., "Grandpa, who brought you here today? For someone to disturb your rest over something so trivial repeatedly, I wonder what that person's thinking.”
In a sentence, Nicole had managed to paint Karen's excuse as being totally unreasonable.
Mr. Riddle Sr. too was annoyed as he rumbled, "It's your Uncle Dillon and Aunt Karen who brought me here themselves."
Upon hearing what Mr. Riddle Sr. had to say, Dillon quickly chimed in. "Dad, this isn't some trivial matter. Of course I needed to bring you here."
"Yes, this girl has no idea how to do business. How can losing a million-dollar business be something trivial?" Karen panicked too. Nicole immediately looked up and glared at Karen.
And seeing that glare, Karen immediately shut up.
Nicole looked at her icily before turning to her father and eldest brother. "Dad, Sean, what's the projected profit during this business quarter?"
Sean was taken aback by the question. Nicole had never asked about the number, so why was she asking this now?
Although he was confused, he still trusted Nicole and answered honestly. "The projected profit for our current projects is about a billion, five times more than the Riddle Corporation's previous financial year profit."
Nicole immediately raised her eyebrow. "You heard that, Grandpa?
The corporation is already earning about a billion in profit. There are always wins and losses in the field of business. We've already won a billion, so why care about that lost million?
The moment she said that, Mr. Riddle Sr. felt very relieved inside. " You're right. The Riddle Corporation's fortune is unlike ever before, and I'm very satisfied with it."
As he said that, Mr. Riddle Sr. turned to Damien and Dillon. " Damien, Dillon, let it go. Don't dwell too much on the losses."
Seeing that Mr. Riddle Sr. was about to dismiss this matter as trivial, Karen was the first to panic.
"Don't dwell on it? Why? Why can their projects profit while ours take a beating? Dad! Dillon has given so much to the company. Youneed to speak up for him!"
Noticing that Karen was unwilling to let go, Mr. Riddle Sr. was a little displeased.
Nicole sneered and decided to do away with any pleasantries. "I'm curious as well about your question, Aunt Karen. Why are the projects managed by my father and brothers making a profit while both Uncle Dillon and Uncle Damien's projects are making a loss? You said they've put in so much work, but where are the results?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone was stunned into silence.
No one had expected Nicole to latch onto the loophole in Karen's words and turned it against her!
