Chapter 2875
Nicole could not help but smile at how ridiculous yet valid his concern was. "Come on, dude. That's just an excuse I
came up with to comfort Nolan and Lana."
In reality, her marriage would concern nobody but herself and Jared. No one else would be able to exert any sort of
meaningful influence on the wedding.
"That's great." Preston issued a sigh of relief.
Everything would be fine as long as he did not have a hand to play on whether the wedding ceremony happened or
not.
Taking on a more serious look now, Nicole looked at Preston and added, "But, you should really start thinking about
your own love life."
"Yeah, I will." Preston replied.
He did not want to suffer the torture of being the only single person in the room every time he hung out with them.
Being around these love birds while they harped on the idea that he needed to find someone soon was agonizing to

Nicole then smirked and shook her head. She thought it would be a good idea to just remind him about it, instead of
poking her nose into his business.
Then, she shifted the topic of conversation. "I've got something to talk to you about."
"What is it?" Preston asked in a serious tone of voice.
He knew that Nicole would never sit him down for a discussion if the matter in question was a trivial one.
After pausing for a while, Nicole said, "Once we reach home, you should follow me in and have a look."
"Oh, okay." Preston replied.
When they arrived at the Riddle residence, the both of them got down from the car and entered the house. There
was no one in the living room, indicating that they must have all returned to their respective rooms and gotten
ready for bed.
Nicole did not bother to disturb Daniel and Gloria. Instead, she brought Preston up to the second floor right away.
When they reached Nolan's room, the duo saw Nolan playing the very same game he had been engrossed with for
the past few months. Meanwhile, Jared and Lana were sitting beside Nolan, their eyes trained on the computer
screen.
Hearing that someone had entered, Nolan, Lana and Jared whirled around to look at them in unison.
"Hello Mommy. Hello Uncle Preston," Nolan and Lana greeted them.
"Why did you bring me to Nolan's room?" Preston asked in confusion.
He was wondering what Nicole was trying to do.
Without giving him a direct answer, Nicole walked up to the computer and said, "Have a look at this."
While Preston proceeded to study the game with its intricate level designs, Nicole explained, "We've studied this
game and confirmed that there's something wrong with it. But, we don’t have a single clue about what the
developer's motives are. There's still no evidence."
"You don't have any evidence? Does that mean you guys know who the person is?" Preston asked.
"I've got a rough guess, yes." Nicole's eyes darkened, wishing that the perpetrator was not who she thought he was.
Understanding what Nicole was trying to convey, Preston nodded and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"So, here's the thing," Nicole replied. "When we began analyzing the game, we discovered that all levels must be
completed, and that's what the developer wants us to do.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Nolan can't clear the game on his own, no matter how many stages he completes, so I'll have to step in
to help him out."
"You want me to help him clear the stages?" Preston asked.
Nicole shook her head and clarified, "No. I need you to assist me."
"Oh, okay." Preston replied without any objections. "Tell me, what should I do?"
No matter what task it was, or how difficult it was, Preston would try his best to complete it as long as it was a
request from Nicole.
"Recently, I've come to realize that we might have thought lightly about these levels." Nicole said, attempting to
explain what was on her mind.
Nicole had decided to take this matter seriously, so after some careful consideration, she had decided to enlist
Preston's help.
Previously, she thought that all they needed to do was clear the stages and discover the developer's motives behind
each stage, whereupon they would be able to proceed with finding the solution. After all, they would never come to
know what the developer was up to if they did not complete the levels.
However, while Nicole was completing the levels, she could not shake the feeling that there was something fishy
about the game design as a whole. On the surface, it seemed as if they had to work very hard to get past all the
stages. But there were also moments when Nicole felt that someone was controlling the variables and monitoring
the game progress remotely.
