Chapter 2105

Whatever Nolan did, none of it had escaped Preston’s notice, even if others did not know anything about it. After all, he was a hacker too. Besides, his sudden appearance at Nicole’s office had rendered her unable to figure out his intentions.

“Nicole? Please, don’t freak out. I know you don’t remember me. I came here with no other intentions.

I’m just here to remind your kid to behave. His skills have not reached the level where his activities can go unnoticed,” Preston gently explained.

Understanding that Nicole had lost her memory and would have concerns about his abrupt appearance, Preston tried to be as calm and gentle as possible.

Raising her eyebrow by a little, Nicole was surprised to learn that Preston knew about her amnesia.

Aside from a few trusted individuals, Nicole had never told anyone else about her condition, not even Lulu and June.

Noticing Nicole’s look of surprise, Preston told her about the day when she was found and how he was the one who had tipped Jared off in their efforts to find her. Nicole’s guard lowered after knowing Preston had such connections with Jared. She believed the people Jared was willing to stay in contact with must be different from the likes of Damien and Dillion.

Hearing his explanation, Nicole’s expression eased a little, and she asked calmly, “In that case, why are you here today? r»

Nicole could tell that Preston was giving her a show of goodwill with no intentions of wanting to be on her bad side. But if that was the case, Nicole could not understand his reason for exposing Nolan’s actions today.

Preston shook his head for a bit. “Would you believe me if I say I am here purely to see you?”.

He was the first to know of her return, yet he never had the chance to meet her. Initially, Preston had discovered that the abnormal fluctuations in his company’s stock prices were a hacker’s doing.

However, his emotions were mixed after he had tracked the location of the IP address.

Preston knew Nicole would never do such a thing, but the IP address was clearly leading back to her.

After careful analysis, he had managed to identify that this was not Nicole’s usual method of hacking. If anything, the method employed was rather juvenile, which led him to think of Nolan. That was the reason for his visit; to meet and remind her of it. Nolan’s behavior was inappropriate and easy to catch, and because of this, he might create a lot of trouble for everyone involved in the future.

Remaining silent, Nicole did not issue a response to Preston. Instead, she quietly looked at him. While she understood he had come in peace, she still felt uncomfortable with the fact that he was just here to visit her.

“Alright then, I’ll take my leave first,” Preston said with a hint of regret, bidding farewell to her with a hint of resignation.

“Mhmm, alright,” Nicole responded blandly.

Preston then got up and shot her one last glance at Nicole before leaving. “About Nolan, I’ve taken care of the matter. No one will find out, and I won’t tell anyone.”

Preston was well aware of Nicole’s situation. She had lost her memories, and therefore, she would be wary of anyone and anything she considered unfamiliar around her. As for Nolan and Lana, she had not introduced them to the public, seemingly wanting to protect them. Thus, he decided to cooperate with her and take a fraction of the load off her shoulders.

Hearing Preston’s promise, Nicole bit her lips, after which she hesitated before saying, “I’m sorry, but I…”

Nicole realized that Preston was not going to harm her, but without her memories of him or anyone else in place, Nicole did not know how to get along with him. Deep down, it made her feel a little uncomfortable.

“It’s fine. I got you.” Preston smiled warmly, able to read what she was trying to say. “It’s great to have you back. We have a long time ahead. I’m sure you’ll remember us and return to your former life.”

“Thank you for handling Nolan’s situation,” Nolan expressed her gratitude.

As Preston had settled the fallout of the issue, Nicole knew no one would find out about it anymore.

“You’re welcome. Though I must say, that kid really does take after you!” Preston exclaimed.

He genuinely believed that Nolan’s future achievements would be no less than Nicole’s.

Hearing this, Nicole flashed him a wry smile. “I’ve never expected him to display his talent in this area at such a young age.”

“It’s fine as long as he likes it.” Preston laughed.

Just like that, the distance between them felt as if they had been bridged. After a casual conversation, Preston left, feeling content. He was relieved when he saw that she was having a good time, even though she had not recovered her memories. As for when Nicole could recover them, everyone had decided to just go with the flow. And if she ended up never recovering any of them, that would be fine too, as everyone believed Nicole would still be Nicole.

After Preston had left, Lulu poked her head in. “Nicole, is everything okay?”
