My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2876

If such was the case, Nicole doubted if she did not think it through from the very beginning.

After hearing Nicole's thoughts on the matter, Preston cautiously replied, "You mean that instead of

crossing the levels without any sort of help, it seems that someone has been guiding you through the

stages from the shadows?"

"Yes." Nicole nodded. "It definitely feels like that."

After giving it some consideration, Preston hazarded a guess. "This means that the application which

they have sent Nolan consists of two separate entities. One is on the surface, which is the game Nolan

is playing, and the other is a hidden software." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Upon further analysis, Nicole deduced that the hidden software should be the one the developer was

looking to crack.

"They're waiting for you to complete it so that they can swoop in and steal your final result." Jared's

cold and calm voice blared out.

Jared's theory made Preston's eyes widen at an instant. " That's right. It should be just like what you've

predicted!"

"Because of this very possibility, I've brought you here to help me out." Nicole said in a serious tone. "I

need someone to create a separate software to track them."

Although Nicole could create it herself, she was running short on time. Thus, she had decided to enlist

Preston's help in hopes that it would expedite the process.

And once he had thought about it for a second or two, Preston replied, "Let's do it this way. Leave this

entire case to me. You should just sit and wait."

"Huh?" Nicole frowned. 'Preston wants to take on this task on his own?'

"I'm aware that you wish to expedite the process, and that's why you are asking for my help. Don't

worry, I won't be working alone. I'll get Ryder and Gary to help me out." Preston paused for a moment.

"Since your enemies already have their eyes on you, it's best for you to keep a low profile. Otherwise,

you might alert them," he continued.

If Preston worked on it with Ryder and Gary, those people would not be able to discover what they

were up to, not easily at least. Furthermore, by doing so, they could also make Nicole's plan a success.

"Alright. If you need anything, you are always welcome to seek us out at Johnston Group. I have a

team who will

always be available to assist you." Jared agreed, offering his help.

Nicole nodded. "That's a good idea. After all, it will be glaringly obvious if I try to do anything on my

own."

"We'll stick to your plan, then. Send a copy of this to me. I'll contact Ryder and Gary once I'm back

home, and we'll work on it as soon as possible." Preston promised in complete seriousness, as he

understood the urgency of the situation at hand.

"Alright." Nicole replied.

After she had sent Preston off, Nicole forwarded a copy of the game to him.

Then, she turned around and looked at Nolan. "How is it today?"

"Not much progress." Nolan shook his head and sighed. "I've followed the instructions you've given, but

the results were messy.”

"It's good that everything is messy, actually. After all, it is supposed to serve as an initial line of defense

against our enemies. I've also chosen the safest yet most difficult approach," Nicole explained,

elucidating why Nolan's struggle was understandable.

Nolan nodded vigorously. "I know. I'll make sure to practice hard."

He understood that this was a new method his mother had taught him, so he would definitely try his

best to master it.

Smiling, Nicole patted Nolan's head gently. "It's getting late. You should go to bed."

"Okay." Nolan nodded and made a beeline for the bathroom.

Jared then brought Lana out of the room. Her eyes had been heavy with sleep ever since about an

hour ago, but due to

the fact that she had insisted on waiting for Nicole to return, she did not go to bed.

After the kids had fallen asleep, Nicole and Jared returned to their room.

"You've realized it for a while now, haven't you?" Nicole asked Jared.

"You mean the part where they're planning to steal your results?" Jared replied, knowing what Nicole

was talking about. "Well, I've had that guess for a while now."

After Nicole had brought it up again today, Jared was even more certain that his guess was right, and

that he was not just spouting a theory with little to no basis in facts.

"What do you think about it?" Nicole's gaze turned dark.

Jared held her palms, and after a slight pause, he posited, "If he really is the one behind it, then it's

very likely that he's trying to get you to secure the Water Crest for him."

Nicole widened her eyes and gritted her teeth. "God damn it.

I thought so too."
