Chapter 2447
After settling Nicole down, Jared's phone rang again. He sighed helplessly and went to the balcony to answer the
call.
"You punk. You're even avoiding my calls now." Mr. Johnston Sr. sounded annoyed.
"I was occupied just now,” Jared explained calmly.
Mr. Johnston Sr. was vexed. "If Mr. Riddle Sr. didn't tell me, how long were you planning to keep this from me?"
Jared knew exactly what was going on after hearing this accusatory tone. Mr. Riddle Sr. had called Jared’s
grandfather and informed him about the children, so his grandfather came to question him.
"I didn't intend to keep it from you. It's just not convenient to disclose it openly right now," Jared justified patiently.
"Hmph! Mr. Riddle Sr. knows, so why can't I?" Mr. Johnston Sr. questioned angrily. As grandfathers, they both had
the right to know.

With that, Jared hung up the phone. Otherwise, his grandfather would keep questioning him. But Jared could not
promise him anything right now. After all, he had not even told Nicole about his grandfather.
In fact, he did not tell her anything related to his family. He
did not want to burden her when her memory still had not fully returned.
However, things had come to this point, and Jared believed that it was finally time for him to head back and explain
things to his grandfather.
He looked back at the room, his gaze softening. 'She should know some things by now,' he thought.
The next day, the sun shone brightly, and the sky was clear.
As usual, Jared accompanied Nicole to Riddle Corporation. However, as soon as their car stopped, another car
pulled up in front of them. Jared could not help but feel a bit exhausted at this strange occurrence.
Although he found it strange that the car had stopped in front of them, Nicole got out of the car without much
thought, so Jared followed suit.
"Do you need something?" Nicole asked, confused when she saw him getting out of the car.
"I planned to tell you some of this in the future, but I'm afraid you have to know about it now," Jared said. There
was no avoiding it now. His grandfather was here, and even if he did not say anything, it was something that could
be swept under the carpet.
Before Nicole could ask what he meant, a loud voice was heard as a figure approached them.
"You brat! You found your wife, and now you're neglecting everything else, huh?"
Nicole turned to look. Even though that person was elderly, he appeared quite spirited, almost appearing younger
than their actual age. However, there was one thing that did not make sense to her.
'This person just called someone a brat. Who's he referring to?'
In her confusion, the elderly person had already arrived in front of them. He was raising his walking stick and was
about to lash out at Jared.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole's expression changed, and she instinctively blocked the cane, frowning slightly. "Sir, how can you injure
someone in public?"
Who is this person? How dare he call Jared a brat! He even tried to hit him! Does someone like this actually exist in
San Joto? Or did he mistake Jared for someone else?'
Mr. Johnston Sr. was stunned as he looked at the unfamiliarity in Nicole's eyes. She even sounded hostile.
"Grandpa, let's head inside and talk," Jared suggested.
Nicole blinked in surprise. "Grandpa?"
"Well, that's about right. Young lady, you've disappeared for five years, and now that you're back, you don't even
acknowledge me anymore. You didn't even let me see your kids even though you've taken them to see Mr. Riddle
Sr.," Mr. Johnston Sr. grumbled discontentedly, already walking toward the Riddle Corporation building.
Nicole's mouth twitched. 'Did he just respond to me? I
wasn't even addressing him.'
She turned to look at Jared, her eyes filled with questions.1 What's going on?'
