Chapter 381


    “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, tantly doing things he knew very well that they were


    against thew?’


    us 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.”


    us 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. Wace Sr. into the Riddle Mansion to meet her parents. It


    was her eldest brother who picked her up thest time.


    Daniel and Gloria had never met Mrs. Wace Sr. yet, so she had to take Mrs. Wace Sr. to meet them.


    When Nicole brought Mrs. Wace Sr. into the living room, they happened to see Daniel and Gloriae


    downstairs.

    Gloria looked at Nicole and Mrs. Wace Sr. in surprise. She quickly went up to them and whispered to


    Nicole, “This is…”


    Seeing Nicole nod, Gloria and Daniel’s eyes lit up. They walked excitedly to Mrs. Wace Sr., took her


    hand, and said softly to her, “You must be Nicole’s grandmother. We have long heard Nicole talk about


    you and thought of visiting you in Great Oak to thank you in person. We did not expect you toe


    first.”


    Daniel also grinned as he looked at Mrs. Wace Sr., and from time to time, nodded in agreement with


    what Gloria had said.


    Mrs. Wace Sr. did not expect Nicole’s parents to be so friendly. She felt touched and waved her hand


    “I just miss Nicole, wanting to see if she is doing well. Now I am relieved to see you all so friendly.”


    Gloria quickly reached out and held Mrs. Wace Sr.’s hand while winking at Nicole, “Your grandpa is


    waiting for you to apany him to take his medication.”


    Nicole knew they wanted to chat with Mrs. Wace Sr., so she nodded gently and said to Mrs. Wace


    Sr., “I’ll be right back.” Mrs. Wace Sr. did not stop her from going but looked at her with an avuncr


    expression.


    ” Good girl. Go.” She and Gloria sat down and chatted on the couch. Nicole only went upstairs when she


    saw they were getting along well. Mrs. Wace Sr. told Gloria some funny stories about Nicole’s


    childhood. The three of them sat in the living room. With Nicole as themon topic, the conversation


    did not feel awkward at all.


    After learning about Nicole’s habits, favorite food, and things that would offend her, Gloria finally asked


    cautiously, “Will Nicole me me for abandoning her for so many years?”


    Mrs. Wace Sr. seemed to have expected this question. She nced at Gloria and sighed secretly.


    “You have to ask Nicole about this. She knew a lot of things and kept everything to herself since she was


    a child.”


    Seeing Gloria’s face sunk, Mrs. Wace Sr. added, saying,


    “Nicole must love you two very much. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stayed in the Riddle family, judging


    by her personality.”


    Hearing this, Daniel and his wife’s eyes lit up. They looked at Mrs. Wace Sr. with a tinge of gratitude on


    their faces.They were too blinded by their emotions, and it was Mrs. Wace Sr. who made them realize


    the actual situation.
