My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2440

Jane, however, was a little hesitant. After all, the purpose of the gathering was to discuss Dillon and

matters relating to his family members. It was not any regular family gathering, so Jane felt that it was

inappropriate for her to be there.

"Just join us. In the future, you'll have to handle a bulk of stuff in the Riddle family. Tonight, well be

having what's considered as an extended family gathering. Nolan and Lana will be there too." Sean

assured Jane.

Hearing this, Jane agreed, "If that's the case, I'll join you then. 11

To add to that, Nicole was planning to reveal Nolan and Lana's identity; thus, it most definitely was an

occasion Jane should not miss.

"You should get back to work now. Well leave together after office hours."

"Sure."

Then, Jane agreed and turned around to leave the office.

Meanwhile, Nicole and Steve were still making their way back to their rooms.

"The entire issue with Harlow has not been resolved yet. I'm afraid well need a few more days as that

scum's lips are sealed tight. He'll only admit to accusations that are supported with solid evidence. For

the ones without any

solid evidence, he would not even utter a single word about it." Steve gritted his teeth, thinking that the

man was extremely sly.

"Even if he does not admit to it, he won't be able to get away with any of it. Well see," Nicole replied

with a frosty glint in her eyes.

For all the things James had done, he would not be able to elude any responsibilities; not even a single

one.

"Yeah, he won't be able to run away now." Steve huffed.

Upon arriving at her office door, Nicole said, "I'll get back to work now."

"Alright. Ill meet Sally after work. See you at grandpa's house tonight." Steve replied.

Nicole nodded and opened the door to enter her office as Steve did the same. The both of them then

got busy with their respective tasks.

In the blink of an eye, the sun had begun to set. The Riddle family manor had also not been this lively

in a while.

However, the atmosphere had an eerie feeling to it.

Mr. Riddle Sr. was sitting at the center, where he turned to Gloria and Daniel, and asked, "Where are

they?"

"Dad, they should be on their way here." Daniel explained, as he and Gloria had arrived earlier.

However, Daniel could tell that Mr. Riddle Sr. was already not in a good mood. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Daniel knew that it was due to the issue surrounding Dillion's family and James. But since Nicole had

stated that the results would be out that night, Daniel had to stay put and wait. He could not do

anything to comfort Mr. Riddle Sr, because he did not know what the outcome of the issue was.

While they were chatting, the trio of Spencer, Samuel and Stanley entered together.

They were shocked when they did not see Nicole there." Nicole isn't here yet?"

"I think they're reaching soon." Daniel glanced at them and gestured for each of them to take a seat.

Understanding Daniel's signals and noticing that their grandfather was not in a good mood, the three of

them composed themselves and approached Mr. Riddle Sr." Hello, grandpa."

"Have a seat." Mr. Riddle Sr. said, his tone calm and gentle so as not to stress everyone out.

The three of them looked at each other, sat down and remained silent.

When they heard some noises emanating from the door, everyone's gaze turned to it.

But as soon as they saw that it was Preston, someone from the crowd gasped in shock. "What are you

doing here?"

The gathering that night was only made known to Daniel's family. They did not inform the rest, and

thus, they could only wonder why he had shown up.

"Am I not allowed to be here?" Preston frowned and answered with a question of his own.

"Sure." Everyone choked for a moment.

Then, Samuel invited, "Come and have a seat.”

Since Preston was already there, there was no way they could chase him out. So, they decided to wait

for Nicole to come in before they proceed.

"Grandpa, why do you look so angry?" Preston asked, noticing that Mr. Riddle Sr. had a sour look on

his face.

'Could grandpa be sick again? Is that why Nicole gathered us here today?' he wondered.

Mr. Riddle Sr. looked up and gave Preston a glance, after which he frowned and said, "Sit down."

"Oh." Preston responded.

Then, he sat down next to Samuel and whispered, "What's going on?"
