Chapter 3239

"Dad, we're off now." "Grandpa, time for you to get some rest; we're leaving." "Great-Grandpa, we're heading back home."

Benjamin, with a warm nod, responded to each farewell, "Take care, then."

As everyone left, Dillon and Karen reminded them, "It's late, drive safely."

The house became quieter, and Dillon offered, "Dad, let me assist you to your room."

Benjamin, maintaining his independence, declined, "I'm fine. I'll go up on my own."

Karen sighed as she looked outside. She reflected, "I never imagined Preston would be the last one single. He's always done things his way, so different from the others." Dillon reassured her, "Everyone replaces their own path in time. I'm just happy we have such a peaceful life now." He thought about past hardships, grateful for the present calm. Karen nodded, lost in thought.

Dillon, holding her hand, encouraged, "Let's focus on the present and the future. We've made it through a lot." "All I want is for Preston to be happy," she said, echoing his sentiments. Together, they walked upstairs, their steps slow but sure, embodying the peace they've come to cherish.

Outside, the family members departed one by one, leaving the manor in the serene night.

In the car, Nicole noticed the kids, Nolan and Lana, were sleepy. She soothed them, "You can sleep if you're tired."

After the eventful evening, the children were soon asleep in her comforting embrace, their peaceful faces bringing a smile to Nicole's face, filled with love and contentment. Together, they walked upstairs, their steps slow but sure, embodying the peace they've come to cherish.

Observing Nolan and Lana, Jared's gaze deepened. He instructed, "Max, increase the security around my kids' school."

Even though they hadn't discussed Lawrence at dinner, Jared was acutely aware that Lawrence might not remain passive for long. He might already be plotting, preparing to strike when the opportunity arose. He thought to himself, 'I have to make sure Nolan and Lana are safe, no matter what. They must be protected from any risk or danger.'

Max responded with caution, "Understood."

Nicole, caressing Nolan and Lana's heads affectionately, sighed and said," So it has come to this." "It was destined to end this way from the beginning," Jared said, a hint of iciness flashing in his eyes. Even though Lawrence had initially saved Nicole, his intentions were never altruistic, and later he caused her harm.

Nicole agreed with Jared's caution. "Lawrence was using Everett as a distraction, keeping US busy while he stayed hidden. Now with Everett gone, Lawrence might feel cornered and speed up his plans." "Mrs Johnston, don't worry. Our team is keeping a close watch on Lawrence. Well know instantly if he tries anything," Max reassured her, his demeanor serious and prepared for any immediate action that might be necessary against Lawrence.

As Nicole acknowledged Max's assurance, her face reflected deep thought, pondering their next steps.

The following morning was clear and bright.

Upon reaching her company, Nicole found Patricia already there, waiting.

"Ms. Riddle," Patricia greeted her warmly, showing her respect.
