    "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 Nn and Lana from the nursery, Nicole and Jared took them to the family manor.


    "Oh, it''s Nn and Lana!" When he saw the children, Mr. Riddle Sr. smiled so widely, his eyes became


    slits.


    "Great grandpa!" Nn and Lana greeted sweetly as they approached him.


    Mr. Riddle Sr. held the two adorable children, and they chatted and yed together.


    Jared nced at Nicole. "No wonder Mr. Riddle Sr. is so fond of you. You truly have a way with


    people."


    Knowing that Mr. Riddle Sr. would be saddened by Everett''s actions, Nicole had brought Nn and


    Lana to visit the 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 ying for a while, Mr. Riddle Sr. invited everyone to have dinner. Nn and Lana had already


    eaten at the nursery, so the butler took them to y 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''lle back sooner orter," 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 wanted her grandfather to live the remainder of his life in peace.


    "Great grandpa!" Nn and Lana cried, rushing in.


    Lana proudly showed the peony flowers she had picked, smiling brightly. "Great grandpa, look at these


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    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 exin 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 nted, " Mr. Riddle Sr. said. He turned to the


    butler. "Find a way to transnt more and bring in the best horticulturists to take care of them."


    "Yes, sir," the butler responded respectfully. He was worried about how to exin Lana''s actions to Mr.


    Riddle Sr., but it seemed like he did not mind at all. The old man really doted on Lana.
