Jared understood her intent as he grabbed her hand and slowly said.
"Enough."
Mr.Riddle Sr.continued to beat Dillon a couple more times before putting down his stick.
Seeing that the former was a little winded, Daniel immediately stepped forward to help him.
After learning that the Rogers family had kidnapped Nicole, Daniel felt no guilt about Dillon receiving that beating.
"How can I allow you lot to bully my daughter that I finally found after so long!' Mr.Riddle Sr.looked at Jared.
Since he had already done what he did, Jared should know very well where he stood on this matter.
Indeed, Jared did not make things difficult for the old man as he glanced at Snow and Raine before walking out with Nicole without saying a word to anyone else.
When Chloe saw the two walking past her like that, and Jared not even giving her a glance, she bit her lips in humiliation and wanted to stop Jared.
"Mr.Johnston, you..."
Before she could even finish, Jared had already stepped out of the Riddle family manor's door.He did not leave straight away but instead brought Nicole to look at the security outposts the Johnston family had setup up across the manor.
Jared did not say much, and once they were done inspecting and returned to the main gate, Nicole looked at him.
When she saw that he was still looking at her using a side glance, she felt tickled as she said.
"Don't worry, there won't be the next time."
It then did Jared turn to look at her.
The storm between his eyes had yet to fade away, and his expression was cold and serious when he looked at her.
"Don't allow yourself to fall into such danger.You're lucky I was in time this time; things might be very different the next time."
