'She had indeed gotten carried away. What makes her think it's okay to treat past events as if they
have well and truly been forgotten, and keep bringing them up? Does she wish to remind everyone
about them?' he wondered.
Karen swallowed and followed Dillion back to her room, too afraid to even breathe.
Meanwhile, the butler had gone on to tell Benjamin, "Don't worry too much about Chloe."
He figured that it was good that nothing worse had happened.
"I just don't know what they're still not satisfied with,” Benjamin said, sounding absolutely despondent.
Every single thing they had done thus far was tantamount to criminal offense. However, they had been
let off time and time again, which had only emboldened them to the point that they would even dare to
kidnap and harm a member of their family.
"Some things are simply beyond our control, and Nicole has already handled everything. I think you
should stop worrying, " the butler comforted in an attempt to soothe Benjamin.
Following a sigh, Benjamin ordered, "Tell Damien to never step foot in the family manor anymore."
He did not want to see them ever again, and above that, he
did not even wish to acknowledge that there were still people like that in the Riddle family. From this NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
day onward, Damien's family would no longer be a part of the Riddle family.
The butler looked at Benjamin and nodded in agreement." Rest assured, I will take care of it."
After that, Benjamin looked out of the window and let out another long sigh.
Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared were already on the way to the Riddle residence.
"Aren't you going back to Johnston Group?" Nicole looked at Jared and asked.
"I'm going home with you," Jared answered, his eyes soft and affectionate.
This made Nicole blush, and she playfully said, "I'm fine, I don't need anyone to accompany me."
She was neither harmed, nor in need of someone to take care of her. If Jared had something to do, he
should get it done with.
However, Jared went on to smoothen Nicole's hair and embraced her. "I want to accompany you."
Although it had all been a part of her plan, he just could not imagine what would have happened if
anything went wrong.
As Nicole could sense that Jared was feeling tense, she bit her lip and leaned her head on his chest. "I
promise that I'll tell you before doing anything risky in the future."
Jared stroked her hair and gently kissed her on the forehead, prompting her to snuggle into his arms
like a spoiled kitten. Then, he looked at her affectionately as he held her tightly for a while longer.
After some time, the couple arrived at the Riddle residence, where the butler was surprised to see the
two of them back home so soon. "Why have you come back?"
"It's nothing. Carry on with your day." Nicole gestured to the butler.
"Oh, okay," the butler responded, and left.
Jared and Nicole returned to their room thereafter. In there, the afternoon sun streamed in, making the
room warm and cozy.
"Go take a shower and a nap right after." Jared gently patted Nicole on the shoulder.
"Okay," Nicole nodded and took some casual clothes with her to the bathroom.
Jared looked away when he heard the sound of running water emanating from the bathroom, and went
to the small table, taking out his computer.
When Nicole was done showering, she came out to see that Jared was busy, so she quietly went to the
bedside, pulled the comforter over herself, and lied down.
Jared smiled as he shot a glance over his shoulder. He then got up and went to where Nicole was.
