BXBX NOVEL Chapter 524
Madam Harris immediately nodded in understanding. “Our old residence has a garden that’s not far from Nicole’s bedroom. If you need anything, you can look for her anytime.”
Jake nodded. He did not expect his sister to be so sensible.
Although that person had power, money, and did not lack women, it was not good for his reputation to fool around outside. However, if he stayed in the Harris family and got close to Nicole, outsiders would not be able to say anything.
After all, in everyone’s eyes, he was here to visit his sister. This was his family, so it was only natural for him to invite his friend over. No matter how sneaky he was, outsiders could not control him. Of course, it was mostly because Nicole’s looks definitely suited his old friend’s taste!
Nicole ran out after being slapped, but before she could leave the Harris family, she was stopped by Zachary.
“Let go of me!”
Seeing Nicole struggling, Zachary was a little impatient. He raised his hand and threw her out. “Why don’t you take a look at yourself? Why are you causing trouble here? Can’t you listen to your family’s arrangements obediently?”
“A lot of the reason why I’m like this now has to do with Grandma. If it weren’t for Grandma, how could I be in such a miserable state?”
At this moment, the more Nicole thought about it, the angrier she became. She wished she could leave home and go as far away as possible to a place where she could never see the Harris family again!
However, Zachary’s words made her change her mind. “Alright! If you go out, you don’t even have a proper job. Where are you going? Your mother is dead again, and you don’t have a grandfather’s house to go to! You’re the daughter of the Harris family. Are you going out to rent a house and work? What your grandmother did was for the sake of everyone! Now that our entire family relies on your grandmother, do we have a choice? She’s the head of the Harris family.”
Hearing these words, Nicole fell silent... If she really left the Harris family, she really had nowhere to go. She couldn’t sleep on the streets or wander around. Besides, she had been pampered since she was young, so how could she tolerate such grievances?
“Can’t you contact my father yet?” Nicole sounded aggrieved.
Ever since Laker married that woman, she had never enjoyed fatherly love. Now that she was bullied, Laker did not care about her either.
“It’s not like you don’t know where your father’s thoughts are. You should stay in the Harris family obediently. How old is your grandmother now? How many years can she live? When she leaves, we’ll split the Harris family’s assets and you’ll have someone to rely on. If your relationship with your grandmother sours now, many things will be difficult to handle!” Zachary looked at Nicole’s pitiful expression and reminded her kindly.
At this moment, Nicole realized that if her grandmother died, many things would be uncertain if they split up... Although June and Wallace’s family didn’t have a good relationship with Madam Harris, if she didn’t stay in the Harris family, they might take advantage of the separation.
“But... this can’t go on. I really can’t stand Grandma, and I didn’t get anything from the family’s company to begin with.” Nicole really didn’t know what to say.
Although Zachary was already very impatient, he still comforted her. “Don’t think too much. After all, there are guests at home now. You can’t embarrass your grandmother in front of them. When the guests leave, I’ll give you money. Go out and travel properly and relax. You’ve been under too much pressure recently.”
Zachary patted Nicole’s shoulder, as if encouraging her. Nicole felt some comfort before nodding and saying slowly, “Since that’s the case, alright!”
After following Zachary back to the villa, Rachel had just finished her arrangements for Gabriel and went downstairs. When she saw Nicole enter, Rachel put on a concerned smile and said embarrassedly, “Nicole! It’s all Grandma’s fault just now. Grandma was too anxious and impulsive. Grandma apologizes to you now. I hope you’re willing to forgive Grandma, okay?”
Rachel hoped that Nicole could deal with Jake, so she had to treat her better now!
Nicole was shocked by Sharon’s actions and was a little flattered. She did not expect her grandmother to take the initiative to apologize. This was the first time for her. It was really unbelievable, so she felt much more relieved.
