Chapter 1722
Immediately, everyone realized that Nicole had a point!
‘Yeah, they suffered losses because of their own incompetence, and now they're blaming it on us?’
Damien noticed his name being dragged into the mud and could not stay silent. He said coldly, "Nicole, you don't understand what's going on in the company. The Fisher family had recently contacted our partners leading to their turn. And all in all, the one in conflict with the Fisher family is your family, and both your
Uncle Dillon and I suffered collateral damage. This you can't deny."
When Damien put it that way, Dillon poured more fuel into the fire.
"Damien's right. If you didn't make enemies out of the Fisher family, our projects would've been intact! Why are your family's issues affecting us?"
As soon as those words came out, Nicole's eyes turned dark as her entire aura caused the air in the room to turn icy.
Sensing that Nicole was displeased, Mr. Riddle Sr. could only sigh. "
Enough. What are you arguing for? You're all brothers. What, you lot want to split the family up now?"
Those words reminded Nicole of something as she broke into a smile. "Uncle Damien and Uncle Dillon have been going on and on about 'your family’. They've already drawn such a clear line that the family should split."
When Damien and Dillon heard that, they sensed something was not right, but before they could even react, Nicole let out a contemptuous sneer. "It so happens that I too think it's unfair. My father and brothers are putting in the most time and effort into all of these projects we have now, yet Uncle Damien and Uncle Dillon are still collecting their share dividends as usual, and we even have to share in their losses. So, we might as well split the family up!"
Her voice thundered across the room.
When that was said, Steve could no longer hold back. "If I remember correctly, when Uncle Damien and Uncle Dillon had many projects at hand, not all of the profits went into the company's coffers right? The dividend my father had gotten was no more than two million, and did we make a sound back then? Now that our profit's in the billions, I don't think you don't know how much you'd get."
"Uncle Damien, Uncle Dillon, this is way overboard!" Sean stared at them, the flames of anger burning in his eyes.
Seeing that Daniel's entire family was angry, Damien could not help but soften his tone.
"This is the company's system. I also admit that it's Daniel's family who's working hard for the company right now, but I don't agree in splitting the family up. We're a family after all." Damien tried to readjust his position and appear righteous.
Nicole, however, snorted coldly. ''So we're a family now? Too late for that, Uncle Damien.”
When she said the last four words, a sudden chill descended upon everyone.
