    "I think I need to locate my watch," Nicole said as she immediately posted a message onto the system.


    "Yes, ma''am," the system replied as it began processing itsmand.


    Nicole turned the system off shortly after while issuing a heavy sigh.


    Right now, she was overwhelmed with mixed emotions.


    ''I could never have thought that Lawrence would lie to me. Why did he do so? Moreover, the Fire Crest


    would''ve recognized me as its sole owner anyway. It won''t change until I die, but if I had helped him


    crack it earlier on the way before I regained my memories, I can''t imagine what kind of things he


    would''ve done to me,'' Nicole pondered.


    She had a hard time telling what was true from what was false among the people on Crescent Ind


    too. ''Was everything one big, practical joke from the start? Was everyone in on it too? Those people I


    had been friends with, were waiting for me to help them crack the code too?''


    Preston looked at Nicole with worry written all over his face, "So, ever since you''ve lost your memories


    and your watch, you didn''t know howto activate the Fire Crest. Is that right?"


    "Yeah, something like that," Nicole replied, not wanting to tell Preston too much about this, as it would


    be safer for Preston to not know about Lawrence.


    anything you need help with, don''t hesitate to reach out to me," Nicole said as she shot Preston a


    serious look.


    "The workers that you''ve hired to aid us have been nothing short of efficient and helpful," Preston


    added.


    Preston would be forever grateful for the help that Nicole had rendered him when he first started his


    ownpany one day was something beyond his wildest dreams.


    Nicole smirked. "It''ll only get better, trust me."


    "Thank you. I won''t let you down, I''ll work twice as hard," Preston promised as he swore on his words.


    Ever since the downfall of DillCorp and its subsumption back into Riddle Corporation, Preston had


    experienced serious changes to his family life, and the burden on his shoulders had since gotten


    heavier.


    Then, Nicole and Preston went on to chat for a while longer before Preston eventually excused himself.


    As Preston left Nicole''s office, Patricia entered.


    "Can you do a background check on Hanwick Ferguson? If it''s impossible to do so, detain him,” Nicole


    ordered, her eyes glinting with frost.

    ''The major influential families will soon know that the Fire Crest has been reactivated. I bet that sooner


    orter, Lawrence will receive the message too. I won''t have to hide anything from him,'' Nicole thought


    to herself.


    "Yes, ma''am," Patricia obliged as she turned around and left the office quickly.


    Nicole leaned back against her chair as she nced out the window, her mind slowly drifted into the


    clouds.


    Not long after, the sun began setting in the horizon, and Nicole walked out of the office. Downstairs,


    Jared was already standing by his car waiting for her.
