Chapter 1186: Injury

Eileen observed the changes in Ayan's expression, and every word she

spoke was cautious. She looked at Ayan and said, "Preston told me

that he and Camille have made an agreement. When the time comes,

he will take Camille and leave Hance City."

As Eileen spoke, Ayan's face became even more unpleasant.

The two of them locked eyes in a distant and indifferent gaze. The

man's eyes were filled with a chilly coldness, but he didn't immediately

explode.

Eileen noticed this and continued, "Although I have a partnership with

Preston, I still lean towards your side, Ayan. I know you trust Camille

and believe she would never betray you. But sometimes, it's better to

be a little cautious than to realize the truth after being deceived, right?"

Eileen finished speaking, but her gaze remained fixed on Ayan, her

eyes showing a hint of uneasiness.

Ayan remained silent for a long time, during which Eileen's expression

became increasingly unpleasant. She felt lost, tightly pursing her lips,

constantly speculating about what Ayan might be thinking.

After a while, Ayan finally spoke indifferently, saying, “So, the reason

you came all the way here to tell me is to make me be cautious of

Camille and not let her deceive me?"

“I didn't mean that. I'm just worried that Preston might deceive Camille,

and in the end, Camille will fall for it.”

"Is that so?"

"Of course, Ayan, I have no reason to deceive you. The only reason I

wanted to talk to you face-to-face is that I didn't want anyone else

besides you to know. Preston is feeling a bit desperate now, and I'm

worried he might harm me. So, I have to look out for myself. Ayan,

everything I've said is true. Can you trust me?"

Eileen's tone was sincere, almost as if she was about to raise her hand

and swear in front of Ayan.

However, her eyes constantly revealed a hint of probing, making people

feel a bit strange and uncomfortable.

Ayan didn't delve into whether her words were true or false. He simply

said indifferently, “I've remembered what you said. Is there anything

else?"

Eileen shook her head, indicating that there was nothing else to say.

He said, "Since there's nothing else, I'll have Kian arrange a car to take

you back to the set.”

After Ayan finished speaking, he prepared to leave.

Eileen immediately stopped him, saying, "Ayan, it's been a long time

since we've seen each other. I came all the way here today. Can you

treat me to a meal?”

She cautiously probed, her eyes showing a hint of uneasiness, as if she

wanted to hide something.

Ayan naturally noticed this and his expression turned less pleasant. He

asked indifferently, “You want me to treat you to a meal?"

Eileen nodded in agreement, and Ayan smiled. "Are you in such dire

need of this meal right now?"

Eileen's face stiffened slightly, feeling a bit unsure of how to respond to

Ayan's words.

But just as she was unsure of how to answer, Ayan suddenly said, "It's

still early now. Stay here for a while. I'll have Kian make arrangements

and send you back to the set after dinner."

With Ayan's words, Eileen immediately nodded, wearing a smile on her

face. "Alright, you go ahead and take care of things. I'll wait for you

here."

She was very happy, her face filled with a smile and a sense of relief.

What was the source of this relief?

Ayan, on the other hand, sensed that she seemed very worried about

his refusal. It was just a meal, why did she care so much?

A question lingered in his mind. When he returned to his office, he

calmly said to Kian, "Keep an eye on her and see what she's up to.

Also, reserve a table for me at Darkmoor. She wants to have a meal

before leaving.”

Kian nodded lightly. "Yes, Mr. Simpson. I'll make the arrangements."

Ayan remained silent, but his expression seemed even more grave.

As Kian was about to leave the office, Ayan's voice sounded again,

asking, "What was her purpose in coming all the way here? Was it to

badmouth Camille to me or to have me treat her to a meal?"

If it was only the former, it seemed to have no effect, right?

After all, she knew very well about Camille's place in his heart, so no

matter what she said to sow discord, it wouldn't achieve much or truly

drive a wedge between them. So, what was the point?

And if it was the latter, was it just about having a meal?

Kian was also taken aback by Ayan's question, turning to look at him

with surprise. "Mr. Simpson, what are you suspecting?"

"Keep a close eye on Eileen during dinner tonight. No matter what

happens, you must stay in the restaurant and be vigilant."

Ayan's face was very serious. In reality, he was just speculating in his

mind, but the truth could only be verified in the evening.

Afterward, Ayan didn't reveal any hint of abnormality. He continued

working, while Eileen was naturally being watched by his assistant.

So, Eileen spent the whole afternoon in the meeting room. She didn't

find it boring and spent the afternoon playing with her phone alone.

At the same time in the afternoon, Camille received a phone call from

Preston.

Preston's calls have been quite frequent these past few days. They just

spoke a couple of days ago, and now he's calling again.

Camille instinctively hung up, but Sienna snatched the phone from her

hand and smiled faintly, saying, "This person is really boring, contacting

you every other day. It seems like he has nothing better to do. Well, I

have some free time too, so why not chat with him!"

After saying that, Sienna pressed the answer button.

She didn't rush to speak and gestured for me to be quiet. Then she

waited for Preston's voice to come through. He asked, "Cami, do you

have time? Let's have dinner together tonight."

Sienna raised an eyebrow, then casually said, "Sorry, I'm not Cami.

Cami is busy right now."

Preston, of course, recognized Sienna's voice. He didn't show the usual

indifference he had towards Sienna and instead spoke warmly, "Oh, it's

Sienna. Long time no see.”

Sienna made a disdainful expression, her expression not looking too

good, and her tone was extremely cold, "Are you looking for Cami?

Cami is busy right now. Maybe you should call her later.”

Preston wasn't in a hurry and simply said, "Cami asked me to take care

of something for her. I've almost finished, so I wanted to have dinner

with her and discuss the results.”

Sienna glanced at Camille instinctively and saw Camille's brows slightly

furrowed. Sienna responded with indifference, "Oh, but can't you

discuss it over the phone? How about you call her later?"

"No need. Just tell her for me. Let Cami know that I've made a

reservation at a restaurant, and we'll have dinner together tonight.”

Then Preston mentioned the location of the restaurant, a popular one

near Camille's company.

Sienna felt that Preston was the type of person who never asked if

others were willing and just made decisions directly. This made her feel

uncomfortable.

Her tone became even colder as she said, "Mr. Walker, in my opinion,

you should ask Cami if she's willing first. After all, the company has

been busy these days. Besides, she might already have plans. She's a

married woman now, unlike Mr. Walker, who can eat his fill without the

family being hungry!"

Sienna had never shown any mercy towards Preston.

Her words were directly aimed at his heart.

But at this moment, Preston didn’t mind at all and instead smiled lightly,

saying, "Sienna, even though you're married now, as far as I know,

Mario is also in Hance City, right? His feelings for you are no secret. Do

you really want people to spread this non-secret around? I don't think

the Ward family would appreciate it, would they?"
