Gloria had just walked out of the kitchen, and Nicole was holding a bowl of hot soup she had prepared
for her. She drank it without any expression and said, “Thanks, Mom.”
‘The base is all fine and dandy, but the chef is just nowhere as good as Gloria’s cooking.’
“Really. You look really haggard over these past two days. You must’ve gone through a lot.” Thinking
Nicole taking care of Mr. Riddle Sr. for the past few days, Gloria could not help but feel distressed.
“It’s fine. It’s my duty. Only when grandpa gets better that you two will be at ease.” If it were not for her
parents, she would not have activated the branch for the sake of the old man.
However, seeing that both Gloria and Daniel were at peace now, she felt everything was worth
it.

pronounced it was clear that she had not been resting well for the past few days.
“Alright, once we get home, I’ll take a good rest.” With Mr. Riddle Sr. now hale again, she could indeed
relax. “Good.” Gloria nodded, feeling relieved. As the two spoke, Dexter and Emma came back with
Ellar and Emery in tow.
Even Miley brought Everett over to visit.
Karen rushed over with Preston, and Snow and Raine arrived at last for fear of missing the opportunity.
Yet when they arrived, they were still last no matter how they rushed!
But they had no other way but to just bite the bullet and head in to see the old man now.
Mr. Riddle Sr’s awakening was a big matter, and everyone in the Riddle family rushed home, almost
filling his room to the brim.
Mr. Riddle Sr. leaned against the bed as he looked at everyone. Although his face was pale, he still had
a presence and vigor about him.
The only difference was that normally he would be flanked by Damien and Dillon. Yet this time around,
Daniel took Dillon’s place. He glanced at everyone calmly, yet the gaze still bore an air of authority.
“Take a seat.” Mr. Riddle Sr.’s room was large, so everyone found a spot to sit down. After Dillon sat
down, he looked at his original spot, now taken by Daniel, and a look of resentment appeared in his
eyes.
Nicole sat to the left of her elder brother while Samuel sat to her right. Snow brought Raine over to
express concern. “Grandpa, you’re finally well! You really scared
“Yeah, Grandpa! You scared us by falling so ill so suddenly!” As Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at their eyes, his
anger toward Dillon subsided a little.

grandpa. Grandpa didn’t love you guys for nothing.”
Snow and Raine both nodded and wanted to sit by grandpa’s side as usual. Yet they found that the
person sitting beside grandpa was not their father but that inconspicuous Uncle Daniel. While their
father, Dillon, was seated right next to the door!
Snow and Raine had normally sat by grandpa’s side because of Dillon, but at this moment, the person
sitting on their spot was Nicole. A look of jealousy gushed in their eyes as their fingernails bit deep into
their palm. Raine did not hide her disgust as she said, “Uncle Daniel, why are you sitting at my father’s
spot? Don’t you know where you should be seated?” Nicole ignored her, but Samuel retorted, “Who
stipulated that this spot is yours?” .
Raine sneered in return. “Who doesn’t know that Uncle Daniel can’t do anything in the company at all.
What right does he have to sit by grandpa’s side?”
