    In short, the Riddle family would provide them with food and shelter, but nothing more.


    Hearing that, Dillion and Karen expressed their gratitude at once, promising, "Thank you, Dad. We will


    stay at home and take care of you."


    "Say what you mean and mean what you say. If you can''t do that, don''t evere back," Mr. Riddle Sr.


    warned sternly.


    "Dad, rest assured, we won''t break our promise," Dillion firmly assured.


    They were genuinely afraid and did not want to return to a life of homelessness and scavenging for


    food.


    Mr. Riddle Sr. then turned to the butler and said, "Have someone take them downstairs to freshen up


    and prepare a room forthem."


    "Yes," the butler replied.


    "Thank you, Dad." Dillion and Karen said, after which they followed the butler downstairs.


    "Nicole, don''t you have anything to say?" Mr. Riddle Sr. hesitated for a moment before asking.

    With a gentle smile, Nicole replied, "They have suffered enough, and the past is the past. Besides, they


    didn''tmit the crimes of which they were used. For Preston''s sake, it''s reasonable to give them


    a chance."


    Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed. "What they did, even though they didn''t tamper with the medicine, is


    unforgivable. But seeing them in such a pitiful state..."


    He could not help but sympathize with them. If they were truly repentant and well-behaved, he could


    amodate them, but he would only provide for their basic needs. He would not be responsible for


    anything beyond that.


    If they behaved, they would not have to worry about food and shelter anymore. If not, this would be


    theirst chance, and there would be no forgiveness if they made the same mistakes in the future.


    "Grandpa, it''s good to have them here to keep youpany. After all, staying here all by yourself can


    get lonely," Nicoleforted.


    That was one of the reasons she had agreed to let them stay too.


    It would be ideal if they could look after Mr. Riddle Sr. After all, Nicole and her family did not have much


    time to visit him.


    "Rest assured, Dad, we will stay here and take care of you. We won''t go anywhere else," Dillon and


    Karen said as they came in after taking a shower and changing into clean sets of clothes.


    They looked much cleaner now, and the arrogant and hostile attitude they once carried themselves with


    had seemingly disappeared, reced by a more amiable demeanor.


    "That''s good to hear, Uncle Dillion, Aunt Karen. I believe Preston will be pleased," Nicole said with a


    meaningful smile.


    Dillon''s smile stiffened for a moment, but he quickly replied, "Yes, we hope he can forgive us."


    From the looks of it now, their son was the only one they could rely on in the future.


    "Grandfather, we''ll take our leave now,” Nicole said, sensing that Dillion knew what she was trying to


    say.


    Mr. Riddle Sr. shot a nce at Dillon and Karen before he said, "Very well, goodbye."


    Soon after, Nicole and Jared got into their car and left the family manor.


    Nicole leaned back against her seat and breathed a sigh of relief. She believed that Dillion understood


    what she had said. If he still cared about his son, he would definitely behave himself. After all, they had


    endured so much hardship, and if they could not learn to behave now, there would be no hope for them


    anymore.
