"Drive," Jared ordered.
"Of course," Max replied and sent the engine running, whereupon they made their way to the Riddle
family manor.
Upon arrival, Nicole and Jared entered the manor. Their eyes narrowed a little when they saw the
people present in the living room.
"Grandpa." Nicole greeted calmly as she walked over to the living area where the couches were.
There, Mr. Riddle Sr. shot Nicole and Jared a nce and said, "Please, have a seat."
Once they were seated, Nicole centered her gaze at Dillion and Karen, who were disheveled and
unrecognizable. In fact, Nicole could barely recognize them, and it was evident that they had been in
the trenches as ofte.
"Dad, now that things have been cleared up, and it wasn''t me who did it, can you at least take care of
us?" Dillion looked at Nicole then back at his father.
He was feeling a little ashamed, but he had to speak up anyhow.
He had truly suffered enough being homeless, and if things continued this way, he might actually die
out there.
Hearing his words, Nicole raised her brows and asked," Uncle Dillion, didn''t you sell the vi to stay in
a hotel? How did things turn out like this?"
Although she had phrased it as a question, Nicole actually knew everything that had happened: they
had lost every source of ie they had. If they had sold their mansion, gotten jobs, and lived a
normal life, they would not have ended up in the state they were in. However, they had gotten a little
too used to thevish life and did not want to lose their pride, so they had quickly squandered all their
money.
They had been on the streets for a while now, and it seemed to everyone that they had truly hit rock
bottom. In addition, they had recently learned that Everett was the true culprit, and that meant that they
were proven innocent. With that in mind, they had crawled all the way back to seek refuge with Mr.
Riddle. Sr.
Hearing Nicole''s question, Dillion and Karen''s faces turned pale. Still, they did not dare to say anything
at this moment. They genuinely feared for themselves, and did not want to return to being homeless.
Otherwise, they might actually die out there.
With a deep breath, Dillion could only grit his teeth and say," Hear me out. We made a mistake in the
past, but we promise that we will change and make things right in the future."
After he had spoken, he looked at Mr. Riddle Sr. again and pledged, "Dad, we''ll stay at home and not
get involved in anything in the foreseeable future. We''ll just keep youpany."

"Yes, Dad. You''re getting older, and you need
chimed in immediately.
"You wish to stay here?" Mr. Riddle Sr. raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes, we are not asking for anything else. Just being able to stay with you is enough." Dillon nodded
vigorously, truly at his wits'' end now.
It would be good enough for them if they could live in safety and rtivefort. That was all they
could all for at this juncture.
Now that DillCorp was gone, he would no longer be able to get it back. Fortunately, Nicole had set a
techpany up for Preston, which was their lifeline. Snow was still in a vegetative state, but Preston
had arranged for her care, so they did not have to worry about her. As for Raine...
There had been no news of her for the longest time, and they could not afford to worry about her
anymore. At the very least, there had not been any bad news about her, so she should be fine, at least
to them.
After some thought, they had decided that this was the best oue for them. As long as Mr. Riddle
Sr. agreed, they would no longer have to sleep under bridges or scavenge for food. Going hungry or
even resorting to digging through garbage cans like feral roons again was thest thing they ever
wanted to do again.
With their pleasid out, Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole as if asking for her opinion.
"Grandpa, it''s your decision," Nicole said with a smile, as she had no objections whatsoever.
After a brief moment of contemtion, Mr. Riddle Sr. solemnly said, "Very well. You can stay. However,
I''m only providing you with a roof over your heads and food. I won''t cover any other expenses. If
necessary, you can go to the butler. He knows what should be provided and what should not be."
