Chapter 969

Nicole finished with Tia and drove Mrs. Wallace Sr. to Mr. Riddle Sr.‘s house.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked with wonderment at the colorful lights as the car traveled through the city streets outside the car window. It was the first time in her life that she had seen such beautiful lights.

Nicole could see that Mrs. Wallace Sr. liked it, so she slowed the car down a bit so that her grandmother could watch a little longer.

Forty minutes later, Nicole‘s car was parked up in the car pouch in her grandfather‘s house.

She got out of the car and came over to Mrs. Wallace Sr.‘s side to help her out.” Take it slow,” she said.

The family butler had been waiting for some time. When he saw Nicole and Mrs. Wallace Sr., he said, “Good day, madam. Miss Riddle, everyone is here. We’re just waiting for you two.”

“What do you mean? Is there someone else?” Nicole looked at the family butler.

“Everyone from the Riddle family is here.” The family butler nodded.

Nicole was startled. “Why didn‘t Grandpa tell me about it?

She looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr. with a flash of concern.” Grandma, let‘s go inside. Grandpa is waiting for you.”

Mrs. Wallace Sr. nodded and walked inside with Nicole. In the living room, the Riddle family members, headed by Mr. Riddle Sr., were seated to his left and right. When Nicole walked in with Mrs. Wallace Sr.

in her arms, Mr. Riddle Sr. rose to welcome her.

“Mrs. Wallace Sr., the Riddle family welcomes you.”

“Mr. Riddle Sr., how‘s your health?” Mrs. Wallace Sr. greeted him.

“Pretty good. How about you?” Mr. Riddle Sr. gestured for Nicole to help Mrs. Wallace Sr. to her side.

“I can still move around.”

The two looked at each other and smiled. They were seated before the others took their seats.

“Is this old lady Nicole‘s grandmother?” Chloe spoke into Miley‘s ear.

“Keep your voice down. You need to be polite when so many people are present.” Miley reminded her.

Norah was annoyed and tired of seeing Mrs. Wallace Sr. Before she could get rid of one, another came, which was a real headache for her.

“Let me introduce you all to Mrs. Wallace Sr., who raised Nicole.” Mr. Riddle Sr. smiled.

“Hello, Mrs. Wallace Sr.” All greeted Mrs. Wallace Sr. politely.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at them all and nodded with a smile. Mr. Riddle Sr. then introduced them to Mrs. Wallace Sr. “Over here is my eldest son‘s family of four.”

“Over here is the second son and his family of five, and over there is the third son and his family of four.” After the introductions were made, Mr. Riddle Sr. ordered the feast to begin. 1 “Mrs. Wallace Sr., please make yourself at home, as we are family. I have never visited you, so I would like to thank you for raising Nicole. No words can describe my gratitude.” Mr. Riddle Sr. took a glass of wine to Mrs. Wallace Sr., and the others joined him in a toast.

“Nicole has been a good girl since she was small. I treat Nicole as my own granddaughter.” Mrs.

Wallace Sr. said.

Mr. Riddle Sr. nodded. “So, without further ado, let‘s enjoy the meal, shall we?”

Mrs. Wallace Sr. nodded. Nicole picked up a piece of lobster meat for her. “Grandma, this is delicious.

Try it.”

Halfway through the meal, Snow started asking about the diamond provocatively. “Didn‘t you say you would look into the diamond matter, Nicole? It‘s been so long. Isn‘t it time for something to be said?

After all, that is a rare Dresden Green Diamond.” Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Snow with displeasure.

“Today is a day of hospitality. Stop talking about that.”

“Grandpa, this can‘t be put off any longer. It just so happens that everyone is here today, so let‘s just sort it out.” Chloe spoke up. She was keen to see Nicole embarrassed in front of the family and Mrs.

Wallace Sr.
