Chapter 250 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• “You read it right.” He had checked out an hour earlier, probably having gotten wind of something and feeling unsafe, and quickly left. ‘How dare Michael not heed Jared’s warning, blatantly doing things he knew very well that they were against the law?’ Claus looked up with a gentle smile, but his eyes had an inorganic coldness. He called and told Jared what he found, as well as some of his own interpretation, as if he had witnessed what happened with his own eyes. ‘He’s good for nothing but tattling and emboldening Michael, even.’
• A long silence was on Jared’s side before Jared was heard saying, “One at a time.” Claus then hung up and was thrilled. ‘One at a time, everyone gets their turn. Boss has his own reasons for doing things, and I’m not in a hurry.’ Meanwhile, Nicole had walked Mrs. Wallace Sr. into the Riddle Mansion to meet her parents. Last time, it was her eldest brother who picked her up. Daniel and Gloria had never met Mrs. Wallace Sr. yet, so she had to take Mrs. Wallace Sr. to meet them. When Nicole brought Mrs. Wallace Sr. into the living room, they happened to see Daniel and Gloria come downstairs.

They walked excitedly to Mrs. Wallace Sr., took her hand, and said softly to her, “You must be Nicole’s grandmother.

We did not expect you to come first.” Daniel also grinned as he looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr. and, from time to time, nodded in agreement with what Gloria had said.
