"Mrs. Johnston, the doctor confessed to everything. He's already been taken to the police station," Max reported in
a solemn tone.
"Yes, I know," Nicole replied softly. "Once he's confessed, we'll leave it to the authorities to handle."
"Understood," Max responded.
After picking up Nolan and Lana from the nursery, Nicole and Jared took them to the family manor.
"Oh, it's Nolan and Lana!" When he saw the children, Mr. Riddle Sr. smiled so widely, his eyes became slits.
"Great grandpa!" Nolan and Lana greeted sweetly as they approached him.
Mr. Riddle Sr. held the two adorable children, and they chatted and played together.
Jared glanced at Nicole. "No wonder Mr. Riddle Sr. is so fond of you. You truly have a way with people."

elderly man, hoping to brighten his mood.
"Well, he's getting older after all. Besides, being harmed by your own grandson is something no one can bear,"
Nicole said. Since it was said that a child's smile was the greatest cure, Nicole hoped her children could have some
positive effect.
After playing for a while, Mr. Riddle Sr. invited everyone to have dinner. Nolan and Lana had already eaten at the
nursery, so the butler took them to play in the courtyard.
After dinner, Nicole turned serious. "Grandpa, there's something I need to tell you."
"Go ahead." Mr. Riddle Sr. seemed to have known all along, and his eyes were calm.
Nicole did not hesitate and told Mr. Riddle Sr. directly," Actually, the poisoning incident with the medicine back then
was orchestrated by Everett."
Mr. Riddle Sr. fell silent for a moment before sighing softly." So be it."
To him, it no longer mattered who did it. After all, these people were still his family, and anyone's actions would hurt
him deeply.
"Everett is missing for now, but I believe he'll come back sooner or later," Nicole added.
Mr. Riddle Sr.'s expression froze for a moment. He could only sigh softly in the end. "I'll just leave all these matters
to you in the future. I'm old. I no longer want to worry about such things."
He understood what Nicole was implying. While Everett had temporarily escaped from San Joto, he would most
likely return eventually, and it could lead to more turmoil.
"Sure. Then I won't trouble you with these things in the
future, Grandpa." Nicole felt sorry for her grandfather as she knew that this hurt him.
Since her grandfather had decided not to be involved in these issues, Nicole will not bother with it anymore. She

"Great grandpa!" Nolan and Lana cried, rushing in.
Lana proudly showed the peony flowers she had picked, smiling brightly. "Great grandpa, look at these beautiful
flowers!"
Nicole saw the flowers in Lana's hand. Her lips twitched slightly. Those were rare peonies, and it was extremely hard
to cultivate them in San Joto, yet Lana had just plucked them like this!
"Lana..." Nicole wanted to explain the significance of these flowers to Lana and educate her not to do this again.
However, Mr. Riddle Sr. spoke before her. "These flowers are truly beautiful, Lana. Do you like them?" he asked.
"Yes!" Lana nodded vigorously and looked at the flowers with a big smile.
"In that case, Great grandpa will have more of them planted, " Mr. Riddle Sr. said. He turned to the butler. "Find a
way to transplant more and bring in the best horticulturists to take care of them."
"Yes, sir," the butler responded respectfully. He was worried about how to explain Lana's actions to Mr. Riddle Sr.,
but it seemed like he did not mind at all. The old man really doted on Lana.
