Chapter 2459

Glancing at Nolan and Lana, Maximillian realized he might have been too eager and said, "Alright."

"Wow! Great grandpa, this house is so big and pretty!" Lana exclaimed, looking around.

"Haha, it's a shame it's just me living here. How about you two stay and keep me company?" Maximillian asked.

Nolan and Lana both looked at Nicole, their faces a mix of hope and apprehension. Nicole looked to Jared, herself

unsure, wondering if they should stay or leave.

"Let's stay then," Jared replied, not wanting to decline.

"Thanks for letting them stay, Grandpa," Nicole said, nodding in agreement with Jared.

"I'm always happier when you all visit. The house just feels so much livelier," Maximillian replied with a grin. Living in

such a big place by himself could get lonely.

"Skylar, can you get some rooms ready?" Maximillian asked his butler, Skylar Merrill.

"Of course, sir,” Skylar responded, quickly heading off to make the arrangements.

"How about we grab a bite now? Nolan, Lana, are you kids hungry?" Maximillian asked.

Nolan and Lana said in unison, "We ate at preschool."

"Oh, gotcha. You sure you don't want a bit more?" Maximillian asked.

Both kids shook their heads. "We're good, thanks."

"Dad, let them play. They'd do the same thing at home," Nicole said.

"Alright, go play," Maximillian said. Then, he turned to his butler. "Skylar, make sure someone's watching over Nolan

and Lana."

Skylar acknowledged with affirmative and quickly set up someone to be with Nolan and Lana as they explored the

mansion and yard.

Jared looked at Nicole, then summarized what had happened. When Maximillian learned that Nicole had previously

returned, faced grave danger, and since then avoided coming back or exposing the children's true identities, he felt

a mix of anger and concern.

"Who would dare threaten the Johnston family, especially Nicole and the kids? Were they looking for trouble?"

Maximillian said, clearly angry.

"We've been on this case for a while, but we're coming up empty. Those individuals from San Joto disappeared, and

the trail has gone cold given the time that's passed," Jared said, his tone reflecting his frustration. He could not

figure out who in San Joto could have the resources and motive to target Nicole this way. What baffled him even

more was that they seemed to get information faster than he did. If not for Nicole's recent revelations, he would

have remained unaware of her previous return and the dire situations she encountered.

"You couldn't find any leads?" Maximillian said. His eyebrows were knitted together, as if he were deep in thought.

'Could there really be such dangerous individuals lurking in San Joto still?'
