Nicole nodded her head in agreement. 'Thank goodness the case will finally come to a close.'
Soon, she and Jared arrived at the Riddle family manor.
When the pair entered, Mr. Riddle Sr. was already waiting for them in the living room.
"You're here! Come, sit down." Mr. Riddle Sr. ushered them to sit.
After they sat down, a smile spread across Nicole's face." Grandpa, you look better now!”
"I do feel more alive than before. Thank you for coming back to us. If not, I would've died." Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed.
"No, no. You'll definitely live a long life," Nicole comforted him with a smile.
Mr. Riddle Sr. laughed. "I had dinner prepared, so please stay and eat before you leave."
"Sure."

any arrangements?"
"Grandpa, don't you worry. Both Sean and I are keeping an eye on that." Nicole was confident that no one would be
able to take advantage of it.
"I'm not worried about your capabilities but I'm afraid your uncles will come after you. If they're too ambitious..."
Mr. Riddle Sr. was afraid that his sons would do excessive things to have their way.
Nicole understood what her grandpa meant. "Don't worry, Grandpa. I know what to do."
"That's good to hear." Mr. Riddle Sr. was relieved, knowing that Nicole was a thorough person.
"Grandpa, if I ever do come into conflict with them during..." Nicole paused in hesitation.
"Just do as you wish." Mr. Riddle Sr.'s voice was firm and clear. He trusted Nicole completely. She did things with
thought and reason.
The corner of Nicole's lips twitched. She was satisfied with how things turned out with her grandpa. Now she was
completely driven to finish this once and for all.
"For this manor, I think you ought to leave this for last since Damien comes back often. He doesn't speak much but
he's always here with me. I feel a bit unsettled when he's around. " Mr. Riddle Sr. knew Damien like the back of his
hand, and he was not one to show filial piety.
Nicole’s eyes narrowed. 'Just how often does he come around and what's he up to?'
Nicole gritted her teeth. "Okay. I'll inform Sean about this."
Mr. Riddle Sr. nodded. He looked at the time and noticed it was getting late. He slowly got up and said, "Come, let's
all go and have dinner."
Nicole accompanied Mr. Riddle Sr. to the dining room, with Jared in tow.
After dinner was over, they were heavily immersed in the conversation of discussing their family's assets.

Nicole's face darkened as she recalled what was discussed about Damien.
"I'll have Max investigate this matter," Jared said in a low voice, as if he could read her mind. He turned his head to
look at Nicole.
Nicole bit her lip softly, her heart feeling woozy.
With a tender look, Jared caressed her cheek. "You can always tell me anything. Remember that, okay?"
Jared knew that Nicole would not want to rely on anyone, in fear of becoming a burden to them. Still, Jared wanted
to try and become someone Nicole could rely on. He would be on her side, no matter what happens.
Nicole hesitated for a while before responding, "Okay."
Nicole knew that these were things she could easily solve herself. She wanted to take Jared's offer, but the feeling
of being taken care of was all too strange for her. She feared that this feeling of greed would soon consume her if
she let it become a habit.
