Chapter 966


    Nicole did not want to argue with him. Indeed, she had more or less everything to do with winning the


    last bid.” Stop interrupting my reading.”


    “Okay. The flight is booked for the day after the exam. I’m leaving.” Harvey got up and left.


    After Harvey left, Gary slowly moved over to Nicole and looked at Harvey as he went. “What did he


    want with you?

    Nicole scowled at him. “When did you get here?”


    “I-I came with you. But I was reading over there when I saw Harvey. So I came over to ask.” Gary


    looked as if he had a guilty conscience.


    “Since when do you have to ask about my business? Go and do your homework.” Gary went back to


    his seat and started reading seriously.


    It was the day of the exam. Nicole entered the exam hall and came out in about 20 minutes.


    The invigtor sat at the podium and looked at Nicole’s paper; this was the student who had submitted


    her exam paper the quickest under his invigtion. Previously, students who turned in their papers so


    fast were those who did not study, but Nicole’s paper was clearly and neatly answered, and she did not


    miss a single question.


    Nicole walked out of school, relieved that she was done with her exams and that she no longer had to


    go to school to deal with lessons. She got in her car and floored the gas pedal to drive to her


    grandfather’s house.


    Mr. Riddle Sr. was happy to see her. “Don’t you have sses today?” “The exam is just over today,”


    Nicole said. “How did you do on the exam?” Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at her.


    “Zero pressure. Grandpa, how have you beentely?” This was the first time she came to see her


    grandfather after she returned from abroad.


    “To quote you earlier, zero pressure. My everyday life as it is; just boring.” Mr. Riddle Sr. joked.


    “You sound like you are a bit tired of your current life? Do you still want to experience something


    exciting?” Nicole asked tentatively.


    “What other exciting things can I experience with my old bones? The daily news is exciting enough.”


    Mr. Riddle Sr. beamed.


    “I haven’t been following the newstely. Is there something big going on?” Nicole looked at him with


    bewilderment.


    “Many people have been hurt by the recent unrest in many ces abroad.” Mentioning these things


    made Mr. Riddle Sr. feel sad. “Yeah? I have been so busy with other thingstely that I haven’t


    noticed.” Nicole could not help but think of Zane and Carl, that maybe they were on a mission in a


    foreign country at the moment. “Grandpa, I brought my grandma to the vi you gave me earlier. You


    won’t be angry, right?”


    “Oh? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I would have given Mrs. Wace Sr. a reception, which should


    have been done out of courtesy.” “How is her health?” Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole with an avuncr


    face.


    “She is healthy. She wanted toe over to visit you before, but she didn’t because she was afraid it


    would disturb you,” Nicole said.


    “What disturbance? I’m bored to death here alone all day.


    “Well, you go back now and pick up Mrs. Wace Sr., and we will have a casual dinner together


    tonight.” Mr. Riddle


    Sr. said with a big smile.


    “Okay, then I’ll go now.”


    After Nicole left, Mr. Riddle Sr. instructed the family butler. “Ask the chef toe to the house. I want to


    entertain an important guest tonight. Also, get the family over here. I want to introduce them to an


    honored guest.”


    “Yes, Sr.”


    Nicole drove back to the sea-view vi. Her grandmother was watering the flowers in the garden.
