Chapter 2571
Nicole raised an eyebrow at Jared as she attempted to understand what he had meant.
A warm, fuzzy feeling arose within her as she said, 'Til have a glance at it first. I'll contact them if I need to."
Jared stayed with Nicole as she browsed the Hunters. And a while later, Nicole logged off the computer and the
couple went to bed thereafter.
The next day, the sun shone high and hot as Nicole arrived at the headquarters of Riddle Corporation. She was
about to give Preston a call before she realized that he had already arrived before she did.
"Thanks!1 Preston said as he came over and stood before Nicole.

"I still have to thank you for that," Preston insisted.
Preston knew that had it not been for Nicole, her grandfather would not have rendered aid to his parents, nor
would he have asked her to pay him a visit last night.
"So, from now onwards, whatever happens next will be up to them," Nicole reminded.
"I understand that well," Preston replied with utmost seriousness.
He was well aware of the mess his parents had made, and he would do everything in his power to ensure that
history would not repeat, regardless of whether his parents had repented or not.
Nicole looked up at Preston, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "You came all the way here just to thank me?"
"No, there are other matters I need to discuss with you about,' Preston said, his expression darkening. "You do know
what's been happening at the Hunters, right?"
Nicole nodded. "Yeah, I was just about to swing by and talk to you about it but since you're already here..."
Preston nodded. "Have you seen how strange it has been recently?"
"Do you think that they have got other motives?" Nicole asked, her forehead creased.
"Perhaps it has something to do with the crests we’re trying to locate? Since we...," Preston pondered.
"Aside from the fact that these crests are centuries old, it is nigh impossible to get anyone to get their hands on it
even if they have leveraged the Hunters," said Preston casually.
Nicole nodded in agreement, "Yeah, that was what I was thinking."
After a moment, Nicole frowned, "As of now, do you have any clues?"

In return, Preston sighed. "No, I thought I had made a breakthrough before all these fiascos happened. Ever since
the Reby family intervened, our chances of tracking them down became next to impossible."
"What about the Fire Crest?" Nicole asked in a hushed voice.
She really wanted to unveil the truth behind the Fire Crest as it might hold the answers she had been searching for.
However, Preston shook his head. "It'll be even more difficult to find. Everyone knew it was in your possession."
"Yeah, but who would have thought that I would have lost such an important object?" Nicole thought.
"You can consider other possibilities. Like, whether that crest is within something that you could have worn daily.
Perhaps it's on you right now. I mean how could it just vanish into thin air, right?" Preston suggested.
Nicole frowned. "I get what you're trying to say but I honestly can't remember much other than the fact that I woke
up without any of my belongings next to me."
Nicole was certain that she did not have any of her belongings around her while she was sobering up from the
crash.
