Chapter 271

When Snow heard that, she frowned a little as she silently pinched her sister.

Although this was something of common knowledge in everyone’s heart, no one had said it out loud.

Daniel was still their elder, and they still needed to keep up the appearance.
Although she felt that Raine had overstepped, she too thought that Daniel had no right to be seated
there.

This was the common consensus, so she did not stop Raine from finishing what she said.
In any case, even Mr. Riddle Sr. usually acquiesced to this.
Raine then said, “Hey, Nicole.

Why don’t you get up and make way?”
Nicole did not even look at her as she slowly drank the bowl of hot soup in her hand.

Her delicate face bore no expression at all.
Gloria had said that she needed to drink it while it was still hot.
Seeing that Nicole was ignoring her, Raine was so angry she walked over to pull Nicole away.

A cold glint appeared in Nicole’s eyes, but at this moment, Mr. Riddle Sr’s extremely chilly voice rang out.
“Raine, who taught you to speak of your Uncle Daniel like that?”
Raine had already stretched her hand over, and when she heard Mr.Riddle Sr.asking her this, a look of
consternation appeared on her face.
‘Hadn’t grandpa always turned a blind eye to the fact that everyone looked down on Uncle Daniel’s
family?’
When Mr. Riddle Sr. said that, his eyes turned toward Dillon and Karen.



The look on his face was self-evident. In his eyes, Snow and Raine were still young, and all of the
problems were from this son of his! When Karen saw Mr. Riddle Sr. asking that, she was already
dissatisfied that both she and Dillon had been left out, so she muttered, “Isn’t that the truth?” Mr. Riddle
Sr.’s hearing was very good and immediately caught Karen’s disgruntled voice.

His voice instantly grew several degrees colder as he said.

“Oh, the fact is that you guys are fighting for free seating spots.

This is how you lot usually treat Daniel.”

His mind and energy had always been on the Riddle Corporation, so he naturally had more contact with
the sons who were working there.

It was inevitable that he somewhat neglected his youngest son, but he had never thought that his
youngest son was useless, much less allow a young generation to speak to his son like that. When
Karen heard this, she brusquely responded, “Dillon is working hard to feed this freeloader, and we are
supposed to deal with his whims?” Dillon sat by the side; a look of self-contentment appeared on his
face. ‘As long as I’m in the company, my position is always higher than Daniel’s.’ He thought. When
Preston heard this, he snorted out loud.

He knew that his father was doing nothing at all in the company.

Forget working.

It was already a blessing if he did not cause trouble. Steve’s expression, too, turned chilly.

After all, the one who really kept the company’s operations running was Sean.

What does that have to do with Dillon? The latter would push things around when things get tough, and
he did not want a position-in -name only! – Mr. Riddle Sr. was clearly aware of this as he looked at Dillon,



and a look of disappointment that was difficult to hide gradually appeared.

His voice was cold and impassive.

“I’ve already retired, and by your words, shouldn’t I give my position up as well and let Dillon take over
instead? When he said that, even Damien’s expression changed in an instant. Dillon turned pale in fear.

He did not expect Mr. Riddle Sr. to say such a serious thing as he pulled Karen up to apologize. Karen
did not think she was wrong as she tried to push Dillon away as he pulled her up.

“What are you doing?”
