Chapter 718


    The Riddle family manor. Mr. Riddle Sr.’s was almost fully recovered.


    So, everyone returned to the manor to prepare a meal in celebration of his recovery.


    When Nicole, Samuel, and Spencer arrived, everyone else was basically there. Even Chloe was back


    home.


    Both Snow and Raine were out of sorts today. Both of them had not recovered from the shock Gary


    and Harvey had inflicted on them. Yet, when she saw Nicoleing in, a resentful look appeared in


    Raine’s eyes. However, with Nicole’s standing in the family now, she no longer dared to run her mouth


    willy-nilly.


    Preston, meanwhile, looked at Nicole excitedly as he gave Nicole a rather silly smile. “Hey, Nicole.”


    Seeing Nicole looking up at him, Preston pointed cryptically at her phone. “What’s your number? I’ll add


    you.”


    They had already met each other a few times, yet he did not add her contact to his messenger. When


    something happened, he did not know how to reach her.


    Nicole raised her eyebrow and did not expect him to ask her for this before everyone. ‘Is he not afraid


    that Karen and Dillon will get angry?’


    Yet, she did not refuse him and told him the number she had registered for a newly created messenger


    ount.


    Preston added her and paused for a moment.


    “Her profile picture… is just pitch ck?’ ‘This isn’t all girly-like, no?’


    However, he did not think too much about it as he quickly sent a friend request to her.


    Nicole saw a friend request pop up on her phone. Preston had used an extremely shy emote to add


    her, and she felt regret adding him as a friend.


    She added him quick but was a little speechless as she looked at Preston. She totally did not expect


    Preston to be such a shy person online.


    However, adding him as a friend was fine. She was, after all, still quite interested in that car he had.


    Seeing that she agreed, Preston let out a bright smile, and just as he was about to say something, he


    felt a chill behind him.


    He turned back with a strange look and saw Nicole’s five elder brothers standing in a line behind him,


    looking at him not unlike a pig before a row of butchers sharpening their knives.


    Sean’s gaze was icy cold, while Steve pushed his sses a little. Stanley simply just smiled while


    Spencer crossed his arms with an impassive look as Samuel had an angry look on his face.

    Preston was a little confused as he did not understand where the hostility from these five games from.


    Steve, however, spoke first. His voice was gentle, yet his words were rather sharp. “Who allowed you


    to add our sister?”


    All of them had not seen Nicole in days. Now they had a chance to talk to her, Preston popped out of


    nowhere and even added her on the messenger app. ‘Since when did this guy get so close to our baby


    sister?’


    When Gloria heard them, she turned to Nicole and asked, “Nicole, you’ve already met Preston in


    school?”


    Nicole had a resigned look on her face. I’ve not only met him; I’ve even helped him resolve a problem.’


    “Yes, I’ve met him a few times. Preston is easy enough to get along with,” She said.


    Stanley, however, thought that his little sister must have been deceived as Preston looked even more


    unreliable than Samuel!


    Preston, not realizing that he was being looked down upon, said innocently to Gloria.


    “Aunt Gloria, Nicole’s my cousin, so I’d, of course, take care of her in school.”


    Gloria felt a little awkward… After all, they had never gotten along well with Dillon and his family.


    Yet somehow, Preston had a pretty good rtionship with Nicole, and that was a surprise.
