Chapter 1596
Although he did not have clear cut answers about everything, he had gotten Ellar to help him take note of everything that had transpired after he had caught wind that Norah had been abusive to Nicole. As they studied in the same high school, Ellar had reported everything he had heard to Sean.
"Nicole..." Gloria looked at Nicole with a look of extreme remorse.
There, it became clear as to why Nicole had previously attempted in vain to dissuade her, only for Gloria to repeatedly defend Norah following another one of her pity parties, hurting Nicole in the process. 'How hurt must this child feel, I wonder?'
'It's fine, Mom. Water under the bridge," Nicole said, not bothering with all of the wrongs in the past as she did not want to make things difficult for her mother.
Still, although she had never thought of telling Gloria about Norah's abuse of her to prevent her from being ridden with guilt, she did not expect Sean to know about it.
Yet, that was no longer an issue, as everyone in the Riddle family now knew who Norah really was.
"Come with us, Norah Riddle. We suspect that you are involved in the deliberate murder of your biological parents." The officers went up to Norah with handcuffs brandished. It was then that Norah's eyes turned from sullen to murderous. 'Why can this family be all smiles as I head to prison? No! I'll make them regret this for the rest of their lives!'
With that thought in mind, she instantly grabbed the pistol she saw bolstered at the waist of the police officer and took aim at Gloria and Daniel. "Think you lot can enjoy a family reunion while I go to prison? Dream on! I'll make you feel so much pain that you'd wished you were dead, Nicole!"
As losing a loved one was leagues more painful than one dying themselves, Norah wanted Nicole to suffer for the rest of her life.
"Stop!" Daniel, Sean and the others cried out!
But it was already too late, Norah had already disengaged the safety lock and was already prepared to shoot.
Daniel instinctively shielded Gloria with his body, and with a loud bang, a deafening gunshot echoed across the room.
Everyone was stunned, and even the butler was on the verge of doubling over in terror.
