Chapter 3188
"Mom, who said I didn't come back?" Just as they were discussing, Preston's
somewhat indignant voice rang out, followed by his entrance from the hallway.
"There you are! Come here," Karen said happily, seeing Preston.
Preston quickly responded, "No thanks, I don't want to come over just to get a
lecture.”
Then, he looked at Nicole and motioned to her, "Come over here."
He showed up because he knew Nicole had a reason for calling everyone
together. As the only single guy in the family, he dreaded the idea of facing his
mom and aunts all at once.
Nicole, understanding what Preston was thinking, gave a small smile. "Why don't
you come over here instead?"
Preston reluctantly approached and sat down near the couch.
"Grandpa," he greeted Benjamin before adopting an expression that said he was
ready for the inevitable fuss.
"Sit down, let's talk," Benjamin shook his head gently, adding, "Everyone's just
concerned about you."
"Yeah, I get it," Preston could only agree compliantly. "What else can I do but
listen?"
Nicole smiled before speaking up, "The reason I asked everyone to come today
is to share some important news."
"Is it about you and Jared planning your wedding?" Gloria couldn't help but ask.
Nicole, slightly amused yet exasperated, responded, "Mom, that's not the priority
right now. I have something more important to discuss.”
Realizing her over-eagerness, Gloria felt a bit embarrassed and urged, "Go
ahead, then." She acknowledged she might have gotten a little carried away
without giving it much thought.
With a more serious tone, Nicole said, "lI want to talk about Everett. Initially, I
didn't want everyone to be aware, to avoid unnecessary worry. But after giving it
some thought, it's about everyone's safety, so it's better to be informed and take
precautions.”
"What's happened with Everett now?" Benjamin's voice was deep, tinged with a
hint ofchill.
After Nicole recounted the situation, she advised everyone, "So, be careful
whenever you go out from now on."
"Is Ellar in the most danger now?" Emma asked, her face pale with worry.
"Don't worry, Mom, there are people protecting me," Ellar reassured her.
Nicole added comfortingly, "Emma, rest assured, we've arranged for people to
protect Ellar discreetly.”
Emma nodded, yet her expression remained fraught with concern.
"There won't be any issues. Let's leave it to them,” Dexter comforted her, patting
Emma's shoulder. "And you, try not to go out these days, or if you need to, I'll
accompany you."
He felt that given the risks, they indeed needed to be more cautious.
Firstly, for their own safety, and secondly, to avoid causing any trouble for the
young ones.
"Maybe we should hold off on the wedding. You shouldn't go out for now," Tia
suggested to Gloria, worried that her wedding might expose them to
danger.
Gloria smiled reassuringly and said, "Don't worry, I'll make sure everything is
arranged safely."

Gloria thought that since the wedding

was already planned, they shouldn't
change it lightly. They could have the
planners come to their home or make
sure everything was well-arranged
before going out. The content is on

"But..." Tia was still worried. “Nicole sensed that Everett might seek revenge, but
it isn't certain to be directed just at her."

Seeing everyone getting anxious,
Nicole frowned. She had expected
this, which was why she had
hesitated to tell the family at first.
