Chapter 2945
Nicole quietly shook her head, impressed by Benjamin's speed in catching up with the
latest news.
'Til handle this," she said, getting up to grab the phone. "Yes, Grandpa, it's really
happening."
Benjamin, obviously taken aback, asked, "How did you pull that off?"
He had been quite surprised when he first heard about it.1 How on earth did she also get
her hands on the Water Crest? ' he thought. 'Was there any buzz about the Water Crest
showing up?'
"It was pure luck," Nicole replied, keeping it vague. Initially, it was all an accident. But
now, with it in her grasp, there was no going back.
"You've got to be more cautious now," Benjamin warned.

that the Water Crest was a coveted item and now that it was hers, she had to think about
the fallout.
After ending the call, Nicole turned to her father, Daniel, who looked bewildered. "Dad,
let's have our breakfast," she suggested.
"Okay," Daniel agreed, still a bit distracted.
Back at the dining table, Nicole found everyone's eyes on her. "It was a fluke, but it's
sorted now. No need to worry," she reassured them.
Daniel, still in disbelief, cleared his throat and questioned," Just like that, it's settled?"
"Yes, really," Nicole insisted, nodding earnestly to convince him.
"But Nicole..." Gloria started, before Stanley cut in.
"Mom, Dad, it's okay. Nicole’s got the Fire Crest. Getting the Water Crest too is no biggie."
Gloria looked concerned. 'Getting the Fire Crest was a whole saga. Could this really go off
without a hitch?'
Sensing Gloria’s worry, Stanley added, "Don't stress. Things are different from before."
After all, owning the Fire Crest had already boosted Nicole's reputation among the
influential families. Adding the Water Crest would just strengthen her position even more.
"Don't worry, Mom and Dad," Nicole assured Daniel and Gloria.
Daniel nodded, "Alright, just be careful.”
Gloria gave Daniel a look, then chose not to ask anything more.
Deep down, they both knew they couldn't be of much help, so it was best to trust Nicole's
judgment.
After breakfast, the house buzzed with the morning routine as everyone prepared to head
out for the day.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Time for school, kids," Tia called out. She was ready to take Nolan and Lana to
kindergarten.
Nolan and Lana, their backpacks ready, greeted her with beaming smiles. "Hi, Tia!"
Stanley stood up. "I'll walk you out," he offered Tia.
After waving their goodbyes, the kids trotted out the door with Tia and Stanley.
Gloria watched them go, her face beaming with affection." Have a great day!"
Once everyone was gone, Nicole and Jared also headed out.
Gloria sighed, trying to hide her worry from Nicole.
"What's done is done. Let's not worry too much. We need to trust the kids," Daniel tried to
comfort her.
Nobody would turn down the chance to have influence over other influential families.
"I get it. But as a mom, I just want my kids to be safe and happy. That's all that really
matters," Gloria said, her worries clear in her voice.
Daniel gently patted her hand. "You're right. But as a Riddle, they have to take on their
responsibilities."
