My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2567

Chapter 2567

"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 glance 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 of late.

"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 villa 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 income 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 the lavish 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.

Now that DillCorp was gone, he would no longer be able to get it back. Fortunately, Nicole had set a tech company 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 outcome 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 raccoons again was the last thing they ever wanted to do again.

With their pleas laid 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 contemplation, 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."
