"You read it right." He had checked out an hour earlier, probably having gotten wind of something, feeling unsafe, and quickly left.'How dare Michael not heed Jared's warning, blatantly doing things he knew very well that they were against the law?'Claus looked up with a gentle smile, but his eyes had an inorganic coldness.He called and told Jared what he found and some of his own interpretation, as if he had witnessed what happened with his own eyes.'He's good for nothing but tattling, emboldening Michael, even.'A long silence was on Jared's side before Jared was heard saying, "One at a time."Claus then hung up and was thrilled.'One at a time; everyone gets their turn. Boss has his own reasons for doing things, and I'm not in a hurry.'Meanwhile, Nicole had walked Mrs. Wallace Sr. into the Riddle Mansion to meet her parents.It was her eldest brother who picked her up the last time. Daniel and Gloria had never met Mrs. Wallace Sr. yet, so she had to take Mrs. Wallace S

All of them turned around stiffly."Dad?"Everyone was looking up at the stairs. They could not believe their eyes when they saw Mr. Riddle Sr. on his feet.Nicole helped him walk downstairs. Her brows furrowed when she saw her grandmother standing there being bullied. However, it was heartwarming for Nicole to see Gloria standing in front of her grandmother protecting her."Dillion and his wife tried to look normal as they did not want to act rashly in front of their dad.A hint of disappointment flashed upon Mr. Riddle Sr.'s eyes as he looked at Dillion.Mr. Riddle Sr. was furious with Dillion, his hands trembling. Dillion was quite loud just now. So, Mr. Riddle Sr. heard everything as he walked down the hall.'Dillion was way out of line. How could he say such awful words to Mrs. Wallace Sr.!'Dillion did not look as proud as before when he noticed his father's face was contorted with anger. He quickly sat upright and forced a smile as he looked at his father."How are you,

Now that Mr. Riddle Sr. was pissed, and they did not want to defy him, they had no choice but to leave Nicole alone for a few more days.Mrs. Wallace Sr. was here just to check out the Riddle family's attitude toward Nicole. Mr. Riddle Sr.'s attitude was clear, so she had nothing to worry about.She was not used to staying in such a ridiculously large family, and it did not help that Mr. Riddle Sr. asked her to stay longer. Mrs. Wallace Sr. wanted to decline but was worried that her refusal might affect the Riddle family's opinion of Nicole.Just as Mrs. Wallace Sr. was in a dilemma, Nicole said deprecatingly, "It's alright, Grandpa. My grandma isn't familiar with this place, and I'm going to sit for exam soon. I'm afraid I will not have time to accompany her. Maybe when Grandma comes next time, she can stay here longer."Upon hearing what Nicole said, Mrs. Wallace Sr. let out a long sigh of relief. She turned to Mr. Riddle Sr."Yeah, it's so courteous of you to invite me to have

"Why don't you take it as a break from having to serve dad?" Karen asked.Damien did not want to argue with a woman. He was deep in thought, with his face darkening.Miley, on the side, did not hear the undertone of what Karen said. Clueless about what happened, she looked at Karen and then at her husband, trying to persuade him. "Exactly, Damien. Dad is still sick, and it could be contagious. Having a change of seat isn't a bad idea after all."Damien's face sank even further upon hearing what Miley said. He took a deep breath and then turned to look at Miley, who knew nothing about what happened in the family and only wanted her daughter to become a star all day long. She simply sounded incomprehensible to him when she said such stupid things.'What do you mean by changing sitting position is not a bad thing? Don't you know what that seat means? I'm afraid that after this meal, my position in the family will be reduced to inconsequentiality. I used to be the person whom Dad trust

She knew it; it was still Mrs. Wallace Sr. who cared for her the most.Daniel, his wife, and their children saw Nicole and Mrs. Wallace Sr. out. As they came out of the door, Sean drove over a low-key but luxurious Mercedes-Benz.This Mercedes-Benz's sport-sedan was well known for its comfort. Sean chose the car with Mrs. Wallace Sr. in mind.Nicole raised an eyebrow as she watched Sean get out of the car and open the door for Mrs. Wallace Sr., then waited until her grandmother had gotten in before he returned to the driver's seat.Nicole was touched by his heartwarming gesture.Sean might be taciturn, but he was very thoughtful.Not wanting to delay further, Nicole also got into the car and sat next to her grandmother.Great Oak was about a two-and-a-half-hour to three-hour drive from here. Time passed quickly as the three of them chatted all the way.Arriving at the destination and before getting out of the car, Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at Nicole and felt reluctant to leave.
