Chapter 955 “Well, Nicole told me before I came here that Mr. Riddle Sr. had given her a house, and she wanted me to stay here with her.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. said with pride radiating from her face.
Raine glanced at Nicole. “If you guys just came over to view the house, you should be done by now and leave now.” Nicole shooed them away.
“What‘s your hurry, Nicole ? How can we finish viewing such a big house in just a few minutes? We haven‘t even warmed up our backsides yet, and you‘re asking us to leave.” Snow said this for the benefit of Mrs. Wallace șr.
Sure enough, Mrs. Wallace Sr. spoke up and scolded Nicole. “You shouldn‘t say that, Nicole. Miss Riddle, feel free to view the house if you like, and if you‘re not in a hurry to leave, stay for dinner.”
“Grandma.”
“It is so nice of Mrs. Wallace Sr.” Snow smiled at Mrs. Wallace Sr.
Nicole took a deep breath. ‘I can‘t believe that these two cheeky lads have the nerve to stay for dinner.‘
Suddenly, Snow had a plan in mind. “There are no
outsiders here, Nicole. Tell me the truth; did you take that diamond ? If you have taken it, give it to me, and I will help you plead with Grandpa. I believe Grandpa will be lenient with you.”
Nicole frowned, wondering what Snow was up to.
“What diamond? Nicole, did you take someone else‘s thing?” Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at Nicole with puzzlement.
Before Nicole could say anything, Snow chimed in. “Don‘t you know, Mrs. Wallace Sr.? Nicole swapped the diamond that someone gave Grandpa.” “What? Nicole took the diamond that someone gave to her grandpa?” Mrs. Wallace Sr. had an incredulous look on her face.
“No way, this is absolutely impossible . Nicole grew up under my care. She would never do something like this.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. waved her hand repeatedly as she knew Nicole‘s character best.
Nicole, who was about to defend herself, was relieved to hear what Mrs. Wallace Sr. said.
“You better believe it, Mrs. Wallace Sr. If I hadn‘t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn‘t have believed Nicole would do such a thing.” Snow was hellbent on framing Nicole.” Now things have happened; all we can do is not to make a mountain out of a molehill.”
“Nicole, if you did take someone else‘s diamond, just give it back.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. spoke up to break the deadlock.
