Chapter 2580
"Nolan!" Nicole screamed, frantic.
For the first time, she regretted getting injured earlier, which had taken a great toll on her agility and dexterity.
Time was running out, and Nicole was close to having a breakdown. However, she still did her best to get to Nolan
and Raine before the former could be injured.
"Bahaha!" Raine burst into maniacal laughter, raising the knife to strike Nolan.
"Ugh... Ah!"
With a sharp scream, the air in the room froze. Everyone's minds went blank, as if time itself had stopped, and
some even closed their eyes, afraid to witness what was happening in those final moments.
But then, there was nothing but silence, a deathly silence... and then a loud thud.

back to reality.
"Daddy! Nolan!" Lana cried out before running toward Jared and Nolan, before burying herself in Jared's arms,
sobbing," Daddy... Nolan! You're okay?"
Jared carried Lana up, his voice soft as he comforted her," It's okay, Lana. Don't cry. Nolan's fine. We're all fine
now."
Nolan looked at Jared in a daze. He was actually frightened while he was being held hostage, but he did all he could
to suppress his fear as he did not want Nicole to worry.
He really thought he was going to die, but at the very last second, a strong arm had wrestled him away and
embraced him.
It was the first time he had experienced such an embrace, one that Nolan could not explain, though it felt peculiar.'
Maybe this is what security feels like, the sense of security from a father.'
"Nicole!" June and Lulu rushed over to support Nicole, preventing her from tipping over.
Barely holding on, Nicole looked at Jared with tears in her eyes. Jared had appeared, Nolan was safe, and as she
realized this, she felt like she could finally breathe again.
"Mommy! Are you okay?" Nolan and Lana asked in concern, looking at Nicole's weakened state.
Jared approached Nicole with Nolan and Lana, after which he gently placed Nolan in her arms. As she felt Nolan in
her embrace, tears streamed down Nicole's face uncontrollably.
"Nolan, I'm so sorry. It's all Mommy's fault. I couldn't protect you," Nicole tightly held Nolan while she sobbed, as if
this was the only thing she could do to make herself feel at ease.
Seeing this, Nolan wrapped his arms around Nicole's neck and comforted her, "Don't cry, Mummy. I'm fine, and it's
not your fault. It's that bad woman's fault."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Raine was mentioned, the Riddle family and the bridesmaids finally recalled that Raine had fallen from the
balcony, and the chaos downstairs was likely caused by her plunge. However, they did not know what had
happened to Raine after she had fallen from such a height...
Soon, the police and ambulance arrived, with the latter taking Raine away, while the police left after they had
obtained the surveillance footage from the scene.
At that moment, no one knew how to proceed with the wedding anymore.
"We are sorry for this sudden turn of events. We won't keep you any longer, and the Riddle family will offer you
each compensation as apology," Mr. Riddle Sr. loudly announced.
"Please don't apologize, Mr. Riddle Sr. We won't be in your way now."
After sending everyone off, Mr. Riddle Sr. turned to June and Lulu and said "The Riddle family is truly sorry about
this. About your wedding, why don't we..."
Immediately, June and Lulu exchanged glances and replied, "Grandfather, the wedding has already come to an
end.
We're now a family, and nobody has wronged us."
