Chapter 938: Blackmail
"Then cut off his way out and force him to show himself."
"Mr. Simpson, what do you mean?"
Ayan let out a light hum and said indifferently, "Who does he want to find the most right now?"
After such a big incident, Preston was filled with anger and hatred. Wasn't there something he wanted
to vent?
Upon hearing this, Kian immediately understood, but still said somewhat uneasily, "Mr. Simpson, will
this be dangerous?"
"It's not real. Since he could have Quintus find someone similar to Cora, can't we do the same?"
"I understand what you mean. I'll arrange it now. I'll try to make Preston show up today, preferably get
caught."
"No need to get caught. As long as he has no way out and is like a trapped dog, it's enough. If he's
really caught, what's the point of this game?" Ayan said casually.
In fact, apart from the project related to Simpson Group, there was enough evidence to prove that
Preston was behind it. As for the matter with Louise, there wasn't direct evidence that it was him.
Relying solely on Sean's words only led to suspicion towards Preston, but there wasn't direct proof.
So, even if Preston were to be caught, it wouldn't be enough to completely crush him.
That wasn't Ayan's intention. He wouldn't easily send someone to jail unless he intended to make sure
they never got back up. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to make it so easy for them to make connections
with people inside and use them later.
After finishing the call with Kian, Ayan casually put his phone down. Glancing at the time, he thought
that Camille should be at her company, so he drove straight to her workplace.
With so much happening, everything had been spread across the internet, and Camille had already
seen these messages under Sienna's "sharing."
However, Camille and Ayan hadn't had a serious conversation yet, so when Ayan arrived at Camille's
company, she was a bit taken aback. With a surprised expression, she asked, "Why are you here?"
Camille had been discussing a design competition with Sienna. They were preparing to go to the
school to select assistants in the coming days. Seeing Ayan suddenly appear, she found herself a bit
dumbfounded.
Ayan's deep eyes fixed on her, and he replied with a faint smile, "I came for a work inspection."
He was dressed in a black suit, and even without saying anything, his presence seemed to carry an
intangible sense of authority.
Sienna immediately stood up and looked at the two of them. "Alright, I won't disturb you."
She quickly picked up her laptop and moved away.
After it was just Camille and Ayan left, she looked at him with a faint smile. "Mr. Simpson, how comenovelbin
you didn't give me any advance notice of your visit?"
"Sudden surprise, just checking on what you're up to."
"An inspection then?"
"Yes, an inspection. Are you up for it?"
Ayan approached her, taking her hand and guiding her towards the office.
After closing the door gently, the two of them walked to the sofa and sat down. Camille asked, "So, is
there something specific you came for at this time?"
He didn't answer directly. He just gazed at her, his eyes revealing a gentle and elusive tenderness. His
voice was low and soft as he spoke, "Have you seen the news online about Preston?"
His question was direct, without any beating around the bush.
Camille wasn't surprised by this topic. She met his gaze evenly, her expression calm and her voice
devoid of emotion as she said, "Yes, I've seen it."
Not only had she read the news, but she had also seen the intimate photos of Preston and Zoie. Even
Sienna had mentioned that Zoie had some resemblance to her. While they might not look similar when
side by side, a quick glance might lead one to think there was a resemblance. However, Camille felt a
sense of revulsion when she learned about Zoie's connection to Preston.
Therefore, when Ayan brought up the topic, Camille's expression didn't turn pleasant. Her gaze was
cold and detached, and she said, "I don't want to discuss this."
Ayan perceived her emotions, and something within him seemed to stir, giving rise to an indescribable
feeling.
Camille pursed her lips and explained, "Not wanting to discuss it doesn't mean I have any reservations.
I just find this topic uncomfortable, so I'd rather not dwell on it."
Ayan nodded lightly. He wouldn't press further and simply held Camille's hand gently, intertwining their
fingers.
Camille softly asked, "So, did you come all the way here just to talk about this?"
"As an aside," he replied calmly.
The discussion about Preston was still on the rise, and internet users were seeking answers from
Simpson Group's official accounts, trying to gain more attention for the matter.
Under Kian's direction, Simpson Group released a statement: "Our president and his wife have a good
relationship. Please refrain from making baseless speculations."
The statement didn't confirm or deny anything. Netizens who couldn't get a direct response from
Simpson Group took to cursing Preston. Especially considering Preston's two-timing situation, with
Molly being pregnant and the Walker family having treated him well, he was being labeled as
ungrateful.
Camille and Ayan sat together, scrolling through these comments on their phones. Their faces
remained mostly expressionless, but the complexity of their emotions was evident in their eyes.
Ayan's lips parted slightly, and he spoke softly, "He's being hunted down throughout Flento now. I'm
concerned he might become desperate. So, if he contacts you proactively recently, don't pay him any
mind. Don't listen to whatever he says, alright?"
She replied, "You've said this twice already, I understand. You don't need to say it again."
Camille was a bit helpless; Ayan had already mentioned this twice.
Ayan lightly pinched her cheek, and with a gentle gaze, he said, "I need to remind you because people
can resort to desperate measures when they have no other options."
"I understand," Camille answered softly. Then she asked, "Should I have my mom take Timmy to the
countryside?"
"No need, there are bodyguards with him." Preston currently couldn't come to Hance, as he would be
arrested on sight. So, he couldn't do much for the time being.
As Camille didn't seem inclined to discuss the matter further, Ayan didn't press. After spending some
more time with her, he returned to his company.
Sienna immediately hopped over. She looked at Camille eagerly and asked, "Why did Mr. Simpson
visit? Did he come to talk to you about Preston? Tell me quickly, is there any inside information? Did
Mr. Simpson have a hand in Preston's downfall?"
"Don't make wild guesses," Camille reminded her lightly.
Sienna said, "I mean no harm. I'm just genuinely curious. It's surprising that even someone like Molly,
who has been lost in love for so many years, could be so clear-headed. I have to say, I really admire
her for it. A single blow has exposed all of Preston's wrongdoings, and now she seems more like a real
woman!"
Molly had always been quite spoiled and pampered at home. So, her actions were quite shocking.
Camille didn't respond; she just felt a bit heavy-hearted. With so much happening, she was genuinely
starting to feel annoyed. Particularly, while she wasn't directly involved in this matter, the photos of
Preston with Zoie made her uncomfortable.
Camille asked with a faint tone, "Do you believe he's truly infatuated with me?"
