Chapter 930: Disruption
Molly lightly bit her lip, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She raised her hand to cover her face,
unwilling to meet Preston's gaze.
Her voice, hoarse and choked, was full of sobbing, "I didn't know what to say. I had nothing to say.
Could you give me some time to be alone? I didn't want to see you. When I saw you, I couldn't help but
think of that video, you and that woman... both of you..."
The more Molly spoke, the more distressed she became, to the point where she couldn't even produce
words anymore.novelbin
Her heartache also affected Preston, who furrowed his brows tightly. He reached out to comfort her, but
his hand was immediately pushed away.
In a soft voice, Preston said, "Molly, even criminals are given a chance to defend themselves in court.
Do you want to condemn me based solely on a video?"
Molly remained silent, her lips tightly pursed, her expression a bit stiff. She stared at Preston, her voice
devoid of emotion, "How should you explain? The evidence is clear. Are you still not admitting it? Are
you going to keep lying to me?"
Facing Molly's questioning, Preston's expression turned equally grave.
In a low, measured voice, he said, "I didn't do what you're accusing me of. Molly, don't you know me? If
I really had someone else, why would I agree to marry you?"
Molly's gaze fixed on the man in front of her, her eyes unwavering. To be honest, if she didn't know
what kind of person he truly was, if things were like they used to be, she might have been sold off by
him and still be counting the money for him.
Molly sneered in her heart. Her expression remained frosty, and she truly felt that she had never
understood this man. But after his repeated aloofness, she had become the person she was now. Molly
wanted to thank him for that.
If he had concealed everything deeper, she might still be kept in the dark. In that case, she would really
have been manipulated by him.
Molly didn't rush to speak. She seemed to be genuinely contemplating his words. Preston noticed this
and prompted, "Molly, can you trust me?"
"I want to trust you too, but I really don't know how. I'm carrying our child, yet you haven't shown any
intention of getting married. Sometimes, I truly doubt whether you genuinely want to be with me."
The mention of getting married made Preston's expression turn serious. He gazed at Molly, his tone still
calm and composed, not betraying any emotions. He said, "Molly, I was planning to propose to you and
then get married. Even though we have a child now, you'll have everything a new bride has. I don't
want to make you feel you are mistreated, nor do I want you to lack anything. If you think it's better to
get married sooner, why don't we just go ahead and do it?"
So, at this moment, Preston's heart was filled with unease. He gazed at Molly, waiting for her response.
Molly pressed her lips together and softly asked, "Are you truly willing to marry me?"
Preston replied, "Of course. We were going to get married in the first place, why wouldn't I be willing?"
He said it as if it were the most obvious thing, as though he was providing a very typical response.
But Molly shook her head lightly. She said, "Since you have your own life plans, let's follow your plans. I
don't want to disrupt your arrangements because of me or any other reasons."
"Molly, you're the person I want to spend my life with. How could you be a disruption?" Preston helped
Molly up from the couch. He handed her the bouquet of roses and said, "All these things online, they're
intentionally trying to target me."
"Somebody is targeting you? So, is it really not true?"
"Of course it's not true. Do you still not believe me at this point? Originally, I didn't plan to tell you all
this, but now, if I don't say anything, you'll truly be hurt." Preston's voice was gentle, but his tone was
flat. He continued, "Ayan has misunderstood me. Even up to now, he's still targeting me over my
friendship with Camille. Whether it's projects or anything else, he's been pressuring me."
Preston explained many things, detailing what had happened since he returned to Flento from Hance.
All these incidents were orchestrated by Ayan to undermine him.
He said, "If my guess is correct, Ayan is probably behind this as well. He wants to disrupt everything for
me, to drive a wedge between us, to create problems."
As he talked, his emotions started to get more intense.
His face was full of an icy detachment. He said, "Besides Ayan, no one else would go to such lengths.
So, Molly, you must believe me, okay? We are the ones who will spend our lives together. Everything
I'm doing now is for our future. My heart only belongs to you, because when I was at my lowest, it was
you who helped me. So, you're the only person I love."
He continued to reassure, to pour out his feelings, all to make Molly believe in him.
Underneath his repeated affirmations, Molly slowly suppressed the sadness from earlier. She looked at
Preston, saying, "Alright, I can believe you. But how do you plan to handle this?"
"The woman in the video with me is Zoie. She's a dancer. I've recently invested in a dance studio, so
we're in a business partnership. This is also for the sake of our future child. I talked to her about this
before I came back, and she's willing to help us clear things up. So, I plan to contact media outlets with
a good relationship with the Walker family for a live interview. You'll need to be present too, okay?"
Preston's face remained composed, neither nervous nor guilty. Molly contemplated for a while before
nodding in agreement.
Since she had agreed, Preston became attentive to her every need. He even uttered flowery words,
each word telling Molly that she was the only one in his heart. He was so devoted that he even fed her
water.
He even painted a rosy picture of the future, making it clear to Molly that his heart was only for her.
However, Molly was no longer the same as she was half a year ago. She wouldn't be swayed by such
sweet words anymore, but she couldn't help but remember how his smile used to make her happy for a
long time.
Thinking about it now, she felt foolish.
Molly couldn't help but smile, a bitter smile that prompted Preston to be stunned. He asked, "Molly,
what's the matter?"
"Brother, have you ever lied to me?"
"Of course not."
"Good, I believe you."
Molly smiled faintly, gazing at Preston.
Their eyes met for a few seconds before Molly looked away. Her expression made Preston
uncomfortable, yet he felt something he couldn't quite express.
With just over an hour left until the live broadcast, news about the situation in Flento City spread to
other cities as well
.
Especially after Preston's video was released, everyone recognized him, whether from the museum
project or Mr. and Mrs. Bell's project.
People discussed Preston's character and speculated about how he would handle the situation.
