My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 2142
"Alright." Mr. Riddle Sr. raised his head to look at his third son.
Daniel wanted to leave, but Nicole shook her head toward him. So Daniel sat back down again. In the end, Dillon had no choice
but to leave reluctantly.
After everyone was gone, Nicole advised Mr. Riddle Sr. with a smooth tone. "Grandpa, you should really leave this matter alone."
"How can I not worry? They think they’re clever clogs and try to deceive others like fools." Mr. Riddle Sr. was in a horrible mood.
Two of his disappointing sons added up were not even as clear-headed as his granddaughter.
Mr. Riddle Sr. knew very well that they were intrigued with each other, and tricking Nicole, his precious granddaughter. This
knowledge made him so furious that he wanted to kick them out of the house.
"Grandpa, don't worry. No matter what they do, I'm not a fool, " Nicole said with a pouty look, comforting Mr. Riddle Sr.
The older man was originally in an irritating mood, but Nicole's words uplifted him.
"Dad, are you really going to let them go for this matter?" Daniel asked tentatively. Deep down, he was rather furious by his
brother's actions, but he was even more distressed for Nicole.
Mr. Riddle Sr. chuckled. "Your decision to retire was a correct choice,"
"What?" Daniel did not expect his father to blurt out this sentence.
'What did he mean? What has this matter got to do with my retirement?' Daniel thought.
'TH let Nicole explain." Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed helplessly.' Daniel was too kind-hearted, and his personality doesn't suit the
business industry.'
Daniel still looked confused, but Mr. Riddle Sr. stood up and said, "Come, eat dinner with me."
"Alright," Nicole agreed. She stood up and helped Mr. Riddle Sr. to the dining room.
Shaking his head with a chuckle, Daniel followed them. The family had a simple dinner. During the dinner, no one mentioned
Damien and Dillon, only casually chit-chatting about the matters of the headquarters.

"Well, what do you know? We needed you to manage Riddle Corporation after all." Mr. Riddle Sr. nodded in satisfaction.
"Grandpa, Sean's doing a great job too." Nicole smiled with a bright face. Mr. Riddle Sr. was stunned and soon
understood Nicole's meaning. He could not help but tease her. "You cheeky girl. Are you planning to slack off?"
"I could assist Sean," Nicole said naturally.
Seeing that Nicole had made up her mind, Mr. Riddle Sr.
pondered before saying, "Sean is indeed suitable."
In Mr. Riddle Sr.'s heart, his best candidate was no doubt, Nicole. Yet, if Nicole did not want to inherit the Riddle family, Sean
would be the strongest and most capable person to take charge among others.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. You once said you would give the inheritance to the one who is most capable. Sean naturally got it with
his skills," Nicole said, her eyes full of confidence.
They had to make it evident that it was based on merit and allow others to embrace it voluntarily since they could not leave their
opponents with an excuse. Strength and capability were the sole acceptable qualification for achieving it.
"Sean does have the capability, but..." Mr. Riddle Sr. paused and said hesitantly, "You already made such a decision to step off
the position, so why did you leave everyone else to misunderstand you?"
If Nicole clearly stated that she was not interested in the inheritance, the others would definitely not find any trouble for her.
Nicole shrugged indifferently. "It's the same. Are you saying I should stay out of it by shifting the attention to Sean?"
