Chapter 2582


    Jared stood up and said, “I’ll apany you.”


    With that, he led Nicole and the two children upstairs.


    “Grandpa, we mustn’t let Raine off the hook this time.” Er stated, fuming. ‘How could someone be so


    malicious?’


    “Let’s wait for the updates,” Mr. Riddle Sr. said, gazing out of the window with a meaningful expression


    on his face.


    Obviously, Raine would be held ountable for her actions.


    “Dad, why don’t you take a nap for a while?” Daniel suggested.


    Managing the guests at the wedding had been exhausting, especially with dignitaries and


    acquaintances of significant


    social standing from all over the city attending. Having to apologize and exin the situation to the


    guest after such a


    terrible incident must have been extremely draining, even when everyone had joined in to share in that


    burden.


    In response, Mr. Riddle Sr. shook his head and summoned the butler.


    As expected, the butler came over and politely asked, “What do you need, Mr. Riddle Sr.?”


    “Get thepensation ready for all the guests. We can’t just leave them traumatized after they have all


    come over to offer


    their congrattions,” Mr. Riddle Sr. instructed.


    With a nod, the butler replied, “Certainly. I’ll take care of it.”


    “I’ll help with that,” Jane said, standing up.


    She knew this would not be an easy task.


    “Me too,” Sally added.


    Emma then shot them a nce and said, “I’ll join you.”


    With that said, Emma dragged Er and Emery upstairs. Due to the fact that there were so many


    guests present, there


    was a massive load of post-wedding tasks for everyone to handle, including but not limited to the


    verification of gifts and


    by whom they had been given.


    After they had left, Mr. Riddle Sr. leaned back against his couch and closed his eyes. He remained


    silent. As for whether


    he was resting or deep in thought, nobody knew. None of his family members disturbed him. All they


    did was sit around

    quietly, lost in their own thoughts.


    A once joyful wedding had turned into an unfortunate asion, making it hard for anyone from the


    Riddle family to truly


    enjoy the day.


    Concurrently, Nicole and Jared were holding onto Nn and Lana, who were both fast asleep.


    It was evident that they had been traumatized. Even now, as Jared and Nicole were holding them, their


    little hands were


    still holding onto the seams of their parents’ clothes as if to get a sense of security.


    In the midst of all that silence, Nicole looked down at Nn, unable to help herself from reying the


    chaotic scene at the


    wedding. If Jared had arrived just two secondster, something terrible must have already happened to


    Nn.


    “Thank you,” Nicole whispered, expressing her gratitude to Jared, for he had saved both Nn and her.


    She really did not know what she would do if Nn was gone.


    After issuing a sigh, he replied, “Don’t worry. I’m here.”


    His gaze darkened as he understood the depth of Nicole’s gratitude. Then, he raised his hand and


    caressed her cheek.


    A sh of red crossed her vision, and that was when Nicole noticed that Jared had sustained an injury


    on his wrist. There,


    she recalled that Jared had blocked the blow for Nn, which exined why he had remained


    unscathed. Instead, Jared


    was the one who had gotten hurt.


    Nobody had noticed his injury while pandemonium erupted all around. All they could see was him


    saving Nn.


    At that time, Jared had suddenly appeared and wrapped Nn in his arms. He had instinctively kicked


    Raine, sending her


    against the railing, which ultimately led to her plunge down the banister.
