Chapter 2390
Nicole always felt a strange sensation when thinking of the past. But upon reflection, she could not quite remember
the details. Eventually, she stopped dwelling on it.
"In that case, let's contact Preston. He'll help us deal with this," Nicole decided.
Things were going as Jared had said. They should make haste to find clues for the Crests. Even if there were no
clues about the major Five Crests, they should at least have knowledge of the Fire Crest. Nicole was the owner of
the Fire Crest, after all, so the other Crests were none of her business.
Jared called Preston. "I need your help."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yeah. What is it? Just say it," Preston said briskly.
"I'll send you all the information and progress. You should find someone to assist you, but this has to stay a secret,"
Jared emphasized.
Preston promised, "Come on, don't worry about it."
Hanging up the phone call, Jared reached out and smoothed Nicole's hair. "You should prepare the information and
send it to Preston."
Nicole nodded and took out her laptop. She started organizing the clues about the major Five Crests, along with the
information she had previously released. She then
highlighted that the important one was the Fire Crest, while the others were nothing more than a cover-up.
After emailing the information to Preston, Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. "Done."
All they had to do was wait for Preston’s reply. On Nicole's end, she continued executing their previous plan to
divert attention away. In this way, Preston's side would surely go smoothly.
Putting away her laptop, Nicole rubbed her shoulders and sighed softly. All the events that happened today were
too overwhelming for her, and she needed time to
process everything.
Jared's hand rested on Nicole's temple and gently helped her massage. "You must be tired."
"Yeah, a little," Nicole answered honestly. She was indeed feeling a little worn out.
Helping Nicole relax, Jared lay Nicole down. "You should rest now."
"Alright," A pang of tiredness hit Nicole, and she soon fell asleep. She even dreamed a dream she often had.
The dream was about Nicole and a man who fell into the water. The man had lost consciousness, so Nicole used her

She gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.
While she was sinking, Nicole finally made out the man's face, Jared.
"Jared!" Nicole shrieked and sat up abruptly.
"Was it a nightmare?" Jared's soft voice sounded, and he held Nicole in his warm embrace.
"Well, I've had this dream for a long time," Nicole whispered while leaning on Jared. "I always dreamed of falling
into water and pushing a man onto driftwood. But I've never gotten a good look at him before. Except I did today."
"The man was me," Jared guessed. Nicole's dream was probably a memory of when they fell into the water that
day.
"Maybe it was because you told me what happened back then. So my memory came back a little," Nicole
speculated.
