Chapter 3019


    Benjamin understood that everyone hade back today because of Everett''s situation.


    "These issues can''t shake me anymore," he reflected, knowing that each person must take


    responsibility fortheir actions.


    "Okay, we understand," Nicole responded.


    "You can go now. I''d like to be alone for a while," Benjamin indicated to Nicole and Jared.


    "Grandpa..." Nicole looked at Benjamin with some concern.


    "It''s fine, go ahead," Benjamin reassured her with a wave of his hand.

    Hesitating, Nicole bit her lip and then said, "I''ll have the butler bring up some tea."


    She was uneasy about leaving her grandfather alone and thought it best to have the butler keep him


    Jared patted Nicole''s shoulder, "Let''s go."


    As Nicole left the study, Jared paused, turning to Benjamin," Grandpa, I will protect her. She won''t


    Benjamin nodded in approval, "Good, I believe you."


    Jared left the study, his eyes reflecting a deep resolve. He could tell that Benjamin was more worried


    about Nicole.


    After leaving the study, Nicole and Jared went downstairs.


    "Where''s Grandpa?" Daniel asked, noticing Benjamin hadn''te down.


    "He said he wanted to be alone for a while," Nicole replied, then turned to the butler, "Please take a cup


    of tea to Grandpa."


    "Yes," the butler agreed, preparing to do so.


    Lulu asked Nicole with some concern, "Is Grandpa okay?"


    "He''s fine," Nicole shook her head, reassuring everyone, " Let''s all head back for now."


    "Alright," everyone agreed, though they were still a bit worried. At this time, leaving seemed the only


    option.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll keep an eye on things here," Dillon assured everyone as they prepared to leave.


    "Alright, I''lle by again tomorrow," Daniel said, epting the situation.


    "Yeah, I''ll be here too," Dexter added.


    Everyone gradually left the old house, heading towards their cars, ready to leave.


    Nicole, see you at thepany tomorrow," Lulu said as she and Nicole said their goodbyes. Lulu then


    pulled Spencer along with her into the car.


    "I can''t believe it. Everett dares toe back," Spencer muttered in disbelief.


    Lulu replied with a grimace, "You have no idea how shocked


    I was when I saw Everett."


    "I can imagine," Spencer nodded. If he were in Lulu''s shoes, he’d be just as stunned.


    "Ah, his return at this time, it''s clear he''s up to no good," Lulu said, frustrated.


    "Don''t be upset, let''s just head home," Spencerforted her, patting her hand.


    Sighing, Lulu leaned back in her seat.


    After saying goodbye to the family, Spencer started the car and left.


    One by one, everyone got into their cars and drove away from the old house.


    In the car, Nicoleforted a worried Nn and Lana, "It''s okay, these are just minor issues, Daddy


    and Mommy can handle them."


    "Yeah," Nn and Lana nodded, but still clung tightly to Nicole.


    Jared took Lana into his arms, "It''s just work stuff, Daddy and Mommy can handle it."


    Really? Just work?" Lana asked, half-convinced.


    Though they didn''t know the specifics, they could sense the heavy mood of the adults.


    "Yes," Jared''s voice softened.


    Nicole also reassured Nn and Lana, "Don''t worry, you have Daddy and Mommy here."


    After speaking, Nicole looked up at Jared and smiled.
