Chapter 1601
'Okay, now she's being too generous.'
"It's a deal." Jared's mood improved tremendously.
The smile at the corner of Nicole's mouth widened as the two of them continued to sweet talk one another
throughout the night.
During the next day itself, Nicole had packed their belongings and moved back to the Riddle residence along with
Samuel and Spencer, who had done the same. When Nicole arrived home, she noticed that Sean had brought Mrs.
Wallace Sr. to the Riddle residence. There, she saw that her parents were chatting with Mrs. Wallace Sr.
"Nicole, your brother suddenly came to my place and brought me over here asking me to live here. Is everything
alright with you?" Mrs. Wallace Sr. asked.
She had been living with Tia at the Sea View Villa, and though she felt lonely, she had already gotten used to the
peace and tranquility. Thus, she knew something was up when Nicole suggested that she moved in with them.

move back here. They're not allowing me to live alone anymore, which is why I have to bring you here for a while."
"Oh..." Mrs. Wallace Sr. sighed in relief.
She truly missed her granddaughter, and now that Nicole had found her family, she was more than grateful that
Nicole was willing to stay over at her place for a few days a month. It went without mentioning that it was Nicole
who had bought her the mansion by the sea.
'I never would've dreamt of having to live with Nicole and her family...' Mrs. Wallace Sr. thought.
"Won’t it be a hassle to have me here..." she asked.
"Nonsense," Gloria said with a smile on her face. "You've raised Nicole for so many years now. You're her grandma,
and you're considered an elder. You living here would be of no problem at all. Please don't feel that you'll be a
burden to us."
The moment Mrs. Wallace Sr. noticed the sincerity on Gloria's face, her heart began to surge with warmth.
She turned to look at Nicole and said, "You're just like your mother, both kind-hearted and understanding. The both
of you share such wonderful traits."
Gloria's face flushed red the second she heard the praise from Mrs. Wallace Sr. "You're flattering me. I have
arranged a room for you on the first floor so that it'll be convenient for you to move around. If there's anything else
that you need, please feel free to tell me."
"No, no, everything's fine. The Riddle family is very lively. As compared to before, I lived alone, and everything just
felt deserted," the old woman said.
"True, a large family like this will surely be lively in the future. " Gloria smiled.
Seeing that Mrs. Wallace Sr. and Gloria had gotten along very well, Nicole then glanced at Tia, who was beside her.
"I apologize for all the trouble, but you would have to come here to take care of her from now onwards."
Though Tia would be staying at the Riddle residence, taking care of Mrs. Wallace Sr. would here would pose a
challenge for her.
"Don't worry, Nicole. I will do my utmost best to take care of Mrs. Wallace Sr." Tia promised with a solemn look on
her face, to which Nicole nodded in satisfaction.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'The entire family is now here.' Nicole breathed a sigh of relief deep within. Now that they are all here, it'll easier to
protect them, and it's also much more convenient for the people that Jared had hired to protect them.'
It was like killing two birds with a stone. Otherwise she would not have agreed to have Mrs. Wallace Sr. moving in
with them.
Sean walked over to Nicole from the side and said, "Dad's asking us to go to his study."
"Oh." Nicole nodded her head, whereupon she followed her brother to the study.
As the two of them entered, Nicole noticed that Steve was also in the study.
"Nicole is here."
Nicole noticed the expression on both Daniel and Steve's faces, prompting her to ask, "What happened?”
Daniel remained silent, and instead, Steve got up and said," It's Norah...she attempted suicide at the detention
center last night."
Nicole narrowed her eyes. 'Norah, suicide? How could someone like her commit suicide?'
"Perhaps it was because she was given a life sentence yesterday, and she couldn't bear the consequences and so,
she attempted suicide. It was fortunate that she was discovered just in time, but her injuries were quite serious. Her
trachea was cut, and now, she can't breathe on her own. She's in the Critical Care Unit as of now."
