Chapter 718

The Riddle family manor. Mr. Riddle Sr.’s was almost fully recovered.

So, everyone returned to the manor to prepare a meal in celebration of his recovery.

When Nicole, Samuel, and Spencer arrived, everyone else was basically there. Even Chloe was back
home.

Both Snow and Raine were out of sorts today. Both of them had not recovered from the shock Gary
and Harvey had inflicted on them. Yet, when she saw Nicole coming in, a resentful look appeared in
Raine’s eyes. However, with Nicole’s standing in the family now, she no longer dared to run her mouth
willy-nilly.

Preston, meanwhile, looked at Nicole excitedly as he gave Nicole a rather silly smile. “Hey, Nicole.”

Seeing Nicole looking up at him, Preston pointed cryptically at her phone. “What’s your number? I’ll add
you.”

They had already met each other a few times, yet he did not add her contact to his messenger. When
something happened, he did not know how to reach her.

Nicole raised her eyebrow and did not expect him to ask her for this before everyone. ‘Is he not afraid
that Karen and Dillon will get angry?’

Yet, she did not refuse him and told him the number she had registered for a newly created messenger
account.

Preston added her and paused for a moment.



“Her profile picture… is just pitch black?’ ‘This isn’t all girly-like, no?’

However, he did not think too much about it as he quickly sent a friend request to her.

Nicole saw a friend request pop up on her phone. Preston had used an extremely flashy emote to add
her, and she felt regret adding him as a friend.

She added him quick but was a little speechless as she looked at Preston. She totally did not expect
Preston to be such a flashy person online.

However, adding him as a friend was fine. She was, after all, still quite interested in that car he had.

Seeing that she agreed, Preston let out a bright smile, and just as he was about to say something, he
felt a chill behind him.

He turned back with a strange look and saw Nicole’s five elder brothers standing in a line behind him,
looking at him not unlike a pig before a row of butchers sharpening their knives.

Sean’s gaze was icy cold, while Steve pushed his glasses a little. Stanley simply just smiled while
Spencer crossed his arms with an impassive look as Samuel had an angry look on his face.

Preston was a little confused as he did not understand where the hostility from these five games from.

Steve, however, spoke first. His voice was gentle, yet his words were rather sharp. “Who allowed you
to add our sister?”

All of them had not seen Nicole in days. Now they had a chance to talk to her, Preston popped out of
nowhere and even added her on the messenger app. ‘Since when did this guy get so close to our baby
sister?’



When Gloria heard them, she turned to Nicole and asked, “Nicole, you’ve already met Preston in
school?”

Nicole had a resigned look on her face. I’ve not only met him; I’ve even helped him resolve a problem.’

“Yes, I’ve met him a few times. Preston is easy enough to get along with,” She said.

Stanley, however, thought that his little sister must have been deceived as Preston looked even more
unreliable than Samuel!

Preston, not realizing that he was being looked down upon, said innocently to Gloria.

“Aunt Gloria, Nicole’s my cousin, so I’d, of course, take care of her in school.”

Gloria felt a little awkward… After all, they had never gotten along well with Dillon and his family.

Yet somehow, Preston had a pretty good relationship with Nicole, and that was a surprise.
