Chapter 1967
Nicole glanced at the both of them. Although she could not remember them, they should be the two female cousins which Jared had mentioned just now.
Nicole did not give way. "This is my family too. I’m back for the allocation of family shares, so are the both of you back for that too?"
Once those words came out of her mouth, Raine who was shocked almost choked. "Quit talking nonsense! The shares you had previously were given by Grandpa. They were already returned to him during the past five years when you went missing. Don’t you dare think about getting them back!"
Nicole could not help but raise her eyes and look at Jared.1 So, there was such a thing. No wonder this family feels threatened by me.'
She did not bother to explain whether she had lost her memory or not. Instead, she teased them. "So, there was such an incident. No wonder you're so worked up right now. But don't you know a thing about the law? What was mine will be returned back to me once I return. You want a share of it? Beg me then. I might just give you a thing or two if I'm in a good mood."
Although Nicole had lost her memory, her words were still as sharp as ever. It made Raine freeze.
Snow had already known that Raine was no match for
Nicole. But five years had passed. They used to bicker and fight a lot, but now they were already married women. It was true that Snow came back to see if she could inherit anything. Snow did not want to utter a word. Instead, she looked at Raine coldly. "If you can't win over her, then there's no use arguing. Everything will be decided by
Grandpa. What's the use of arguing with her?"
In other words, Nicole had no say in anything as well.
At that moment, Karen could finally speak again. "That's right, we'll see what Grandpa has to say later."
At that moment, the butler had just appeared and addressed the crowd. "The master has woken up. He's in a better state now. All of you may come upstairs."
It was only then that the four Riddle brothers brought their families upstairs.
In that huge room, Mr. Riddle Sr. was lying in bed while looking weak.
Once Nicole entered the room, she noticed that Mr. Riddle Sr. was unusually pale. She could not help but frown.
During the period of time when Nicole was around, the Riddle family was very influential. In the following years, the Riddle family also managed to grow and receive clients because of Nicole's reputation with the Fire Crest.
However, in the recent two years, their weaknesses began to show and they were slowly losing their popularity.
It was unexpected for Nicole to return...
Nicole nodded. She did not utter a word. Instead, she was secretly measuring her grandfather's pulse under her fingers.
Mr. Riddle Sr. was looking haggard, and his body was weak. However, his gaze seemed bright. He did not seem like a frail person.
After measuring his pulse, Nicole's face darkened a little.
Mr. Riddle Sr. seemed to notice Nicole’s actions. He looked at her heavy expression and sighed. "You used to take care of me whenever I was sick, but this time around... I guess I can't survive it anymore."
