Chapter 1187: Cooperation

Preston's words were filled with threats, and although his words were

clearly meant to be threatening, he pretended to have a gentle smile.

This was the most annoying thing about him.

Preston knew that Mario's feelings for Sienna weren't really that

important, because they had all been together in Flento City for a long

time. Women might see through certain things, but men understood

other men very well.

After Preston finished speaking, Camille naturally wanted to speak up

for Sienna, but Sienna immediately extended her hand to stop her from

speaking.

Sienna chuckled lightly and asked indifferently, "Mr. Walker, from what I

know about your current situation, things aren't going so well for you,

right? If you really have the guts, then go ahead and spread rumors.

After all, it's not just me you'll offend. If you have the courage to

challenge the Ward family and the King family, then go ahead and

spread rumors everywhere. Let's see if your rumors or the combined

forces of the Ward family and the King family are more effective.”

Sienna didn't give Preston any respect at all, and every word she spoke

was enough to leave him speechless.

She snorted coldly, her tone especially icy, and said, "Some things

shouldn't be said casually, and don't think that you can threaten me

with this kind of approach. You should know that I'm just like you, I can

eat my fill without my family being hungry. If you really want to fight, it's

not impossible, I'll definitely accompany you to the end.”

Sienna's words carried a faint smile, which surprised Preston. He didn't

expect Sienna to be so fearless.

For a moment, he remained silent for several seconds before casually

saying, "Sienna, you're still as straightforward as ever. I was just joking

with you. Why take it so seriously? You and Cami are good friends, so

naturally, you're my friend too. Isn't it normal for friends to joke around?

So don't take it to heart!"

Sienna chuckled lightly, "You're really joking. I don't have the

qualification or ability to be friends with you. After all, my methods aren't

as powerful as yours!"

Every word Sienna spoke was sharp and piercing, capable of drawing

blood, but she always maintained a faint smile that made it impossible

for anyone to confront her directly. As the saying goes, don't offend

women and villains.

If women and villains were to compete, undoubtedly, women would

emerge victorious.

Sienna didn't linger with Preston any longer. After saying everything

she wanted to say, without waiting for Preston's response, she

immediately shifted the topic to Camille and said, "Cami is here. If you

have anything to say, say it directly to her!"

The phone was on speaker, and Sienna blinked at Camille, then

Camille's voice came through, "Hello?"

Upon hearing Camille's voice, Preston's tone instantly became gentle.

He asked, "Cami, do you have any other plans tonight? Let's have

dinner together. I've made some progress on the task you assigned

me, but I still have some questions. I want to meet and discuss with

you."

Camille asked the same question as Sienna, "Is it not allowed to say

that?"

Preston replied, "I feel like I didn't explain it clearly enough. If you're

available, let's meet in person and talk!"

Camille instinctively looked at Sienna. In fact, her initial reaction was

that she didn't really want to meet Preston because she didn't feel there

was much to discuss. She had wanted to clarify things before, but after

talking to Ayan, she also felt that it wasn't necessary.

So Camille refused and said, "No need. This matter is already in the

past. Ayan will take care of the gossip reporters’ issue, and now that

he's gone, as long as he's alive, he'll be found eventually, right? So

don't worry about it. Didn't you say things aren't going well for you at

Armstrong Corp? You should focus on Armstrong Corp instead!"

Camille's refusal was straightforward, giving Preston no chance at all.

Sienna, who was beside her, raised her hand and gave Camille a

thumbs-up.

But did Preston give up just like that?

Of course not! How could he easily give up like that?

Relentlessly, he said to Camille, "Cami, when you approached me, you

were aggressive and questioning. Now that you say it's not important,

you're ending it just like that?"

He chuckled helplessly and continued, "Cami, I don't mean anything

else. There are just some things that I wanted to clarify in front of you.

Can't you give me that opportunity?"

Camille frowned and said, "Preston, as I've said, it's already in the past.

Some things are no longer important to me. When I came to you a few

days ago, it caused me a lot of trouble, and I found it extremely

annoying. I genuinely wanted to clarify things and find out who was

being so petty behind the scenes. But now that the situation has cooled

down, I've also calmed down. If my previous actions have caused you

trouble, then I apologize. You don't need to continue investigating

anything. I don't want to know the outcome of this matter anymore."

Camille took a deep breath. She had said so much just to avoid

meeting Preston.

She thought she had made herself clear, but Preston didn't seem to

understand.

Preston directly came to the company, probably because there wasn't

much work to do at Armstrong Corp, so he had more free time.

After arriving at the company, Preston went straight to Camille's office.

He maintained basic politeness in his behavior and didn't show

excessive emotions. He said to Camille, "I genuinely want to have a

proper conversation with you, Cami. I've expressed my sincerity to this

extent. Can you give me a chance to explain?"

At this point, it was during working hours, and the employees in the

company were aware of Preston's identity and his collaboration with

Camille.

But this matter is personal, and it seems difficult to discuss it at the

company. Besides, Camille didn't want all the employees to focus their

curiosity on her and Preston. So Camille agreed to meet at the coffee

shop downstairs from the company.

Sienna naturally knew that Camille was meeting Preston, so before

they left together, Sienna reminded them, "Make it quick. Don't forget

we're going out to eat later. I've already reserved a table, but they won't

hold it if we're more than half an hour late.”

Camille nodded, "Okay, I'll be quick.”

There was no reservation for dinner, it was just something Sienna said

for Preston to hear.

Camille understood this, so she played along.

Camille followed Preston as they left the company. They took the

elevator downstairs, and the coffee shop was just to the right of the

elevator exit.

The coffee shop wasn't crowded at this time, so Preston specifically

chose a cozy spot.

Camille ordered a glass of juice. Drinking coffee at this hour would

likely keep her awake all night. Preston, on the other hand, didn't mind

and ordered an iced Americano.

Sitting face to face, Camille looked at Preston with a faint gaze and

asked, "What did you find out?"

She wanted to get the conversation over with as quickly as possible,

but Preston didn't see it that way. He said, "Cami, our orders haven't

even arrived yet, and you're already in a rush to leave?"

Camille instinctively paused, a hint of faintness appearing in her eyes.

She looked at Preston and said, "That's not what I meant. I just don't

want to discuss this matter right now. Are we supposed to sit here and

stare at each other?"

Preston gave a shallow smile. He didn't seem to care about the specific

topic of conversation. In a low voice, he said, "Cami, why did you reject

my invitation to meet? Do you think I would do something to you? We

agreed to be friends, right? If we're friends, why can't we have basic

social interactions?"

Each of his questions carried an underlying inquiry that Camille couldn't

ignore. These inquiries were also directed at Ayan, but he didn't directly

confront the issue like he used to.
