Chapter 1574
Gloria’s compassionate nature prompted her to be concerned about the situation, but she still asked for Daniel's
opinion nonetheless. However, it was then that Daniel glanced at Nicole's direction, almost as though he wanted to
know what she wanted to do.
Nicole returned her father's glance, and with a cool smile, she said, "We've got a guest. We can't let them stand
outside for too long, especially if they're homeless. If we keep them out with our front door, people might think that
the Riddle family are a bunch of cold-blooded and ruthless people."
Norah had chosen the perfect time to visit the Riddle's residence. Obviously, she had gotten wind of how influential
they were now and would temporarily take her in as one of their own for the sake of their reputation.
Though Daniel knew that even if this was the case, he would not want Gloria to pay too much attention to Norah.
"Okay. Alfred, let Norah come in."
'This brat Norah has been gone for so long, and yet, she still finds a way to come back. It seems to me that it's
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtimpossible to stop her this time,' he thought.
Sean looked at Nicole remorsefully, knowing that due to their family's situation, they should not allow any bad
rumors to spread. All they could do now was throw Nicole under the bus for the time being and think about how to
deal
with Norah later.
Soon, the house butler brought Norah in.
"Godmother..." As soon as Norah walked in, her eyes were bloodshot.
"Norah..."
Though Gloria was not close with Norah, seeing her distraught and in such a mess was enough to prompt the old
lady to approach her.
"Norah, what happened? How did your parents..."
The instant Gloria mentioned her parents, Norah's face immediately turned pale, after which she became dizzy and
fainted in Gloria's arms.
"Norah!" Gloria exclaimed
Seeing this, Spencer quickly helped Gloria as they hoisted Norah up.
"What's wrong, Norah?" Samuel looked at Norah in surprise.
Spencer sighed and thought, 'Because she is no longer a part of this family, she has no right to come back here.
Then again, we ought to have some compassion as she used to be a part of the family.'
"Perhaps she's too heartbroken...," Spencer said in a low voice.
At that moment, Nicole secretly smiled and feigned surprise. "I see that she isn't looking too well. I think it's
because she has been too stricken by grief recently and
became dizzy just moments ago."
Norah did not expect Nicole to assist her in her act, so she nodded vigorously. "Maybe I just haven't been eating and
resting right...which is why I'm feeling a little weak..."
However, before Norah could finish her sentence, Nicole deliberately said, "It's okay, I'll make you feel a little better
with my needle techniques. Otherwise, you'll faint again, and we'll have to send you to the hospital."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter she had spoken, Nicole got up and took her set of needles from the small bag on the side of her thigh.
Then, Samuel chimed in, "Yeah, Nicole is an expert when it comes to her needle techniques. Come now, Norah.
Take a seat and let Nicole show you."
"Nee- Needle technique?" Norah's face blanched at once.
'How long has it been since I left the Riddle's, and when did she even learn these needle techniques?!' she panicked.
Norah watched as Nicole inched closer, her face pale as sheet. "No, I'm afraid of needles..."
'If I let her prick me with those needs, I might really need to go to the hospital!' she thought.
"Don't worry, Norah. Nicole really knows her needle technique well. Mr. Riddle Sr. was in a coma before and it was
Nicole who woke him up," Gloria said, aggravating Norah even more.
'Does she really know how to do it? Can I still get away?'
It was at that moment that she regretted pretending to be in the state she was in. Indeed she had underestimated
Nicole, who she did not know would have such a trick up her sleeve.
Norah cursed Nicole in her heart, as she forced herself to say, "Really? Thank you then..."
Nicole mentally sneered, though the expression on her face displayed nothing but kindness. "You're welcome."
Then, without such much as a warning, she jabbed a needle into Norah's hand.
"Ah!"
