Chapter 1600
Nicole suddenly felt that she was in constant danger and had brought harm to them all by extension.
"Nicole, please promise me this. If there's anything that you need, we will help you. We are a family. All of us will
help you,” Daniel said as he eyed Nicole's look of embarrassment, trying to comfort her.
'I wasn't aware of her situation before, but now that I know, how could I let her live by herself?' he thought.
"Yes, bring Mrs. Wallace Sr. over and keep her protected as well," Gloria said.
Nicole was not only an agent, but she was also the bearer of the Fire Crest. Thus, it was inevitable that she would
become the target of many others. Because of this, being at the Riddle residence would somewhat be the safer
option. Still, Nicole could not believe that her parents had thought of Mrs. Wallace Sr.
"Okay, thanks Mom and Dad," she said.
It was not until today that Nicole felt that she had an actual spot in the family.

"Now that we have gotten it all settled, we will protect you no matter what from now on. To us, you're still that little
girl of ours, and we will not allow you to face anything perilous on your own in the future. Do you understand?"
Gloria said while wiping her tears away.
"Understood...," Nicole nodded as she looked at Gloria, feeling unspeakably moved in her heart.
But upon beholding her mother's complexion, she could not help but whisper, "Mom, I'm sorry. I must've scared you
when I fired the shot..."
Gloria shook her head quickly, "You didn't scare me. Your mother isn't that weak. It was Norah...I was afraid she
would take a shot at your father. Fortunately, you..." Gloria choked up and her eyes became red as she attempted
to speak.
"Let's not talk about it anymore...I'm going to go upstairs and calm down for a bit. You guys can get Albert to
prepare dinner."
'It seems that she no longer has any strength to make dinner tonight,' Nicole thought.
"Okay." Nicole nodded her head.
Daniel helped Gloria up the stairs as he noticed that she was still terrified.
As they were going up the stairs, Gloria began complaining," You idiot...You almost died!"
The Riddle children watched as their parents went up the stairs while bickering. They all looked at each other and
smiled. Nicole had also joined along, which was a rare sight to see.
As night approached, Nicole laid down with a sigh of relief after taking a shower.
It was then that Jared called her, his voice a little lower than usual. "Did Norah shoot you today?"
As it was totally unexpected for Jared to have heard of this news so soon, Nicole issued another sigh. "No, but it
would've be much worse if she had pointed the gun at me, or else, I wouldn't have opened fire."
Though Nicole did not mention who was in the right and wrong, Jared had already guessed that something
significant must have transpired. Otherwise, she would not have shot Norah in front of her whole family.

feel what it's like to be living in a hellhole," Jared said, his voice stern.
Jared was the sort of person who would not let anyone get away with hurting those around him. He was definitely
determined to make Norah's life a living hell. Nicole had not expected that Jared would be so determined to prove
Norah's crime in a single day, so much so that she was impressed that he had done this.
"Thank you." Nicole thanked him in a low voice, knowing that Jared must have spent a lot of time and effort.
However, Jared was frustrated by her word of thanks." Boyfriends are not for thanking, but for kissing. You owe me
three kisses."
"Since when do I owe?"
'What kind of nonsense is this guy talking about?' she wondered.
"Didn't you say you wanted to thank me? I don't take verbal thanks. Tangible actions are required. Three kisses, no
less than that," Jared demanded.
This left Nicole dumbfounded. 'For a kiss this guy really went all out.'
A helpless smile crossed her face as she agreed. "Okay, I'll give you five the next time we meet."
