Chapter-1
On a rainy day in September, drizzle moisturized a mountain town and washed clean the stone streets with a refreshing earthy smell in the air.
An eighteen-year-old girl was on her way to the principal's office at the only high school in the town center.
She dressed austerely, but it did not hide the fact that she was beautiful. However, her emotionless eyes made her look sullen and unapproachable.
𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: " 𝗠𝗿. 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁, 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲."
Class teacher, Ms. Mills, led the way for Nicole.
Nicole Wallace looked at her with some surprise, wondering why Ms. Mills was suddenly so nice to her.
Ms. Mills was someone who placed great importance on family background in the selection of class committee members.
The principal was equally excited; even his voice was a little trembling.
Nicole slowly chuckled as soon as she stepped into the principal's office.
It turned out to be because of him.
On the VIP sofa in the principal's office sat a tall man, dressed in an expensive suit, looking like a social elite, but his facial features were like hers.
Nicole was studying the man just as the man was studying her.
He initially planned to go to the hospital with her for a DNA test, but now it seemed unnecessary.
She was a dead ringer for her mother with the same fine facial features and fair and delicate skin. Her beauty was hard to conceal, even if she dressed casually.
Yet the most striking thing was her eyes.
Seeing him staring at herself, Nicole frowned and asked,
She had always known that she was not her grandmother's biological granddaughter, and she had thought that one day her birth family would come looking for her.
She thought her biological parents would come. This man was way too young.
A hint of frustration flashed in the man's deep-set eyes.
𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗻
"𝗜'𝗺 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿."
𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲: "𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲, 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝗼𝘁𝗼?"
Nicole rolled her eyes secretly; she had just learned that, for god's sake.
Three years ago, her parents (𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀) had died in a car accident, and only then her grandmother told her the truth - she was adopted by them when she was a child.
No wonder her adoptive parents had been so cold to her and left her in the countryside.
After the death of her adoptive parents, her grandma registered her at the welfare office, waiting for her biological family to come to reunite with her.
Nicole did not expect that this day would come, much less her brother was the general manager of Riddle Corporation, a famous name in San Joto.
𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲
"𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿?"
Nicole had a hard time believing such a plot twist.
𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗻
"𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗺𝗲."
Nicole frowned. It turned out that things were far from what she had imagined all this time. She could hardly imagine what it would be like to have four elder brothers. It would probably be noisy.
Seeing that Nicole was deep in thought, Mrs. Wallace Sr. said to Sean politely,
𝗠𝗿𝘀. 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗿.: "𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱. 𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘆𝗼 𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁. 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱."
𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗻
"𝗠𝗿𝘀. 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱."
Sean got up with a polite smile and then took out a gift box from his backpack.
𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗻
"𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝘁. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂."
Mr. Barrett quickly stood up and tried to butter Nicole up.
𝗠𝗿. 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁: "𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁. 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲. 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗲𝗿."
Hearing Mr. Barrett's words, Sean's face turned stony, and he glanced back at Mr. Barrett and said indifferently.
𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗻
"𝗠𝗿. 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁, 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗢𝗮𝗸 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝘂𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘀."
The Riddle family would owe no one debt of gratitude.
𝗠𝗿 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁: "𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂! 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗠𝗿. 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲."
His brother's generosity impressed Nicole, who at last accepted the gift out of politeness.
Mr. Barrett gave some more flattery talks before he and his headteacher saw them out.
There was a Rolls-Royce parked up in front of the school, surrounded by other luxury cars, which had long attracted attention.
Regina Wynn was stopped by her buddy as soon as she got out of a car.
𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮'𝘀 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗱𝘆: "𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲?"
𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮: " 𝗪𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁?"
As the daughter of a member of the school's board of directors, she got all the attention all the time until today, when this Rolls-Royce came along.
𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮'𝘀 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗱𝘆: "𝗜 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹."
𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮: "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?"
𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮: '𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝗼𝘁𝗼'𝘀 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝘂𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲?𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹?'
𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮'𝘀 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗱𝘆: " 𝗜 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘂𝗽.𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿."
𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮: " 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁? 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗱𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹."
While the two people were talking, behind them, the principal and a group of headteachers were accompanying a tall man and Nicole to walk out of the school.
𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮'𝘀 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗱𝘆: " 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻."
Regina was astounded as she turned around. If that man was the general manager of Riddle Corporation, then the girl next to him should be his sister.
But that girl turned out to be Nicole, the bumpkin she hated and despised the most.
Regina's face changed drastically. She could not believe that Nicole was actually from the Riddle family.
Regina was not in the same league as Nicole, both in looks and studies. She even did not expect that her family background, which she had always been proud of, was completely eclipsed by Nicole's, and this made her feel jealous to the extreme.
𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗻
"𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿, 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲."
In full view of everyone, Sean helped Nicole open the car door like a gentleman as he looked at her with gentle eyes.
𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: "He is so charming. If only I could have such a charming and rich brother."
𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁: "Yeah, I'm really envious of her."
Regina listened to the discussion with the jealousy and hatred in her surging like a stormy sea. So, she deliberately shouted,
𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮: "𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗼𝗳? 𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗸𝗶𝗻. 𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁."
Nicole was about to get into the car and paused when she heard that. Now, even Sean's eyes had darkened.
𝗠𝘀. 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹: " 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮."
𝗠𝗿. 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁: "𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱?"
𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲
"𝗠𝘀. 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘆𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹'𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘁𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲, 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝗻𝗸𝗴 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂."
Ms. Mills did not expect Nicole to mention that she received monetary benefit by appointing the student council president. Right now, she felt a burning sensation on her face because of the humiliation.
When she removed Nicole and appointed Regina to be the student council president, she had gotten a green light from Mr. Barrett.
𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗻
(icy voice) "𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗠𝗿. 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁."
𝗠𝗿 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁: " 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝗠𝘀. 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀."
𝗠𝗿. 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁: "𝗜'𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆, 𝗠𝗿. 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲."
Ms. Mills was dumbfounded. So did Regina, realizing that her position as the chairman that she bought with money had ended.
Sean pulled back his gaze, and his frosty expression instantly dissipated as he smiled at Nicole.
At first, Nicole just wanted to stir the pot a little to scare them, not expecting Sean to stand up for her. She now felt a little fonder of this strange brother.
It felt good to have a brother.
Nicole got in the car, and Sean drove her and Mrs. Wallace Sr. away, leaving behind everyone looking in surprise and envy.
The Rolls-Royce soon arrived at Nicole's little house, where she and her grandmother lived together. Sean followed Nicole to pick up her luggage.
There were only a few things that Nicole had with her: a notebook, a school bag, and a few pieces of clothing.
𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗻
"𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗲'𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝗻𝗲."
𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲
"𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀."
Nicole said while holding her grandma.
She had always been averse to trouble, so she liked it simple.
The driver could not be more surprised. Sean seemed to be very gentle with his lost-and-found sister. The treatment he gave to this sister was something not even the existing sister could enjoy.
Before getting into the car, Nicole repeatedly told her grandmother not to see them out. Her usual emotionless eyes turned gentle as she said,
𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲
"𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗺𝗮, 𝗜'𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂."
Mrs. Wallace Sr. nodded with tears in her eyes and then reluctantly let go of Nicole's hand and watched her get into the car.
As the car drove on, Nicole retracted her gaze only when Mrs. Wallace Sr. grew smaller and smaller before disappearing in the rearview mirror.
𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗻
"𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗲𝗿. 𝗜'𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻."
Sean said with concern when he saw the pain in her eyes.
𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲
"𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗢𝗸𝗮𝘆. 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗻. 𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝗼𝘁𝗼."
Otherwise, she would have asked her grandmother to go with her a long time ago.
Not expecting that Nicole was so thoughtful, Sean started to feel sorry and like her even more.
He said nothing further and gave her some space.
Nicole looked out the window as the town she had been living in was getting farther and farther away behind her.
After leaving her grandmother, she would no longer have to conceal herself.
The car drove on for hours before they finally reached San Joto.
𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗻
"𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲. 𝗗𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂."
Sean pointed toward the Riddle family house.
She did not know who the Riddle family was, but judging by the manor and the massive house that no ordinary people could afford, she could tell that they must be super-rich.
But Nicole was not as excited and surprised as girls from other ordinary families would react. She just nodded gently.
After the rest of them got out of the car, she followed Sean into the house.
After a while, they came to a hall where Nicole saw three people.
A couple, neatly dressed, was sitting on the sofa and a young girl about her age was on the side.
𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗻
"𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗽𝗮, 𝗺𝗼𝗺, 𝗱𝗮𝗱, 𝗜 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸."
As soon as Sean's voice trailed off, Gloria Holder and Daniel Riddle saw a tall girl walk in behind Sean.
The girl was slim, her skin delicate like gelatin. Although she dressed simply, she was graceful with beautiful eyes. People simply could not take their eyes off her when they saw her.
The moment Gloria saw Nicole, her eyes welled up instantly.
𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿
"𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿. 𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿!"
