Chapter 3049
"Gott it," Preston replied.
"If things don't go smoothly on our end, he might come after you, so be prepared,’ Nicole added.
Preston paused briefly before responding, "Okay, I'll be careful."
Continuing, Preston mentioned, "Regarding the task you assigned me, there's some progress." "Go on," Nicole said softly, hoping it might aid their current situation.
"There's someone named Jerry close to him, his personal assistant.
"Jerry is the one helping him with these schemes.
"If we can find a way to hack into Jerry’s computer, we should have a comprehensive understanding of his next moves," Preston explained, laying out his plan with a hint of optimism in his voice.
Nicole thought to herself, 'If that's the case, they wouldn't have to worry about whatever Everett plans next.' She asked, "Does he seem like a tough nut to crack? Are you sure you can handle it?" "I'll be as careful as possible," Preston assured her.
He understood Nicole's implication; if the success rate was low, it was better not to act rashly to avoid alarming their opponent.
"Alright, if you encounter any issues, you can also come to me," Nicole said before hanging up.
Nicole's expression darkened, and the atmosphere around her grew colder. The very thought of Everett's return, with intentions not just against the Crests but to dismantle the entire Riddle Corporation, was a challenge she accepted silently. 'Let him try,' she thought, her resolve as firm as the setting sun on the horizon.
As dusk embraced the city, Nicole stepped out of her workplace, her day's burdens momentarily lifting. Jared was there to pick her up, faithful and punctual as ever.
"Did you wait long?" Nicole asked upon entering the car, noticing a document by Jared's side.
"Not at all," Jared said, putting away the document before looking at Nicole, "Grandpa wants to see you." "Grandpa!" Nicole was momentarily confused.
Jared gently stroked her hair, "I mean my grandpa." "Oh," Nicole said, feeling slightly uneasy as she hadn't realized immediately.
