Chapter 358: Jealousy
"No." He responded in a warm voice, raised his hand and cupped her
cheeks, and said without changing his face, "Don't think about it, take a
shower and rest early, I'll talk to Kian about the company, don't wait for
me, hmm?"
Camille nodded gently, with her eyes staring his face for a long time
before slowly moving away.
She sighed silently, probably she really thought too much.
Camille went back to her room to take a shower, and after hearing the
sound of running water, Ayan then lifted his feet and went to the
balcony outside the living room .
Kian's call came at the same time.
On the phone, Kian said, "Mr. Simpson, I found out that Miss Khan was
indeed in the bar last night, but she left in less than half an hour, got
into a black business car and went to a nearby high-class hotel, I got
the information from the hotel staff, a middle-aged man took her to the
room, from the surveillance video, it shows that Miss Khan indeed
doesn't look normal, it seems like she had been drugged.â
âNothing else but that?"
Ayan asked indifferently.
Kian froze in confusion, not quite understanding what Ayan wanted to
know?
He frowned slightly and hesitated before responding, "I investigated
that it was a registered vehicle in which the commercial vehicle Miss
Khan was, and the person who took her to the hotel could not be
found.â
"Can't find out who it was?" Ayan sneered, his deep eyes narrowed
slightly with a dark thickness: "Did you check what reaction from
Arnold's side had after this happened to Eileen?"
âI checked, and Arnold's secretary came by Miss Khan's apartment
today, but she has left for now."
"What time frame?"
"It cannot be determined, because the surveillance of apartment is
broken, there is no way to check the specific time period.â
"Hmm."
Ayan responded indifferently, then ended the call.
Eileen thought that Camille had arranged for this, but Camille had been
with him for the past two days, and even if she wasn't with him, she
was still at the hospital with her grandmother, so even if she had the
opportunity to arrange for someone to set up Eileen, why did she pick
this time?
Camille and Eileen are not a day or two apart, so why didn't they do it
earlier but wait until now?
Ayan slightly narrowed his eyes, the bottom of his eyes stored a cold
indifference.
He already had a rough idea of who was responsible for this, but since
he and Camille were involved, he would play along with her.
After a sleepless night, Camille was up around 6:00 a. m. the next
morning.
She had to go to the hospital to see her grandmother before going to
the office to go to the competition site with Yessica and the others.
Ayan also woke up after hearing her movement and reached out to pull
her, who was really getting out of bed, and asked, "Why are you up so
early?"
Camille said, "Did it wake you up?"
Ayan didn't answer, just sat up after him.
Camille said, "I want to go to the hospital to see my grandmother and
then go to the office.â
âI'l walk you there." After saying that, he lifted the covers and got out of
bed.
Camille hurriedly said, "No, I'll just go there myself, you can sleep a
little longer."
âI'll drive you." Ayan was insistent.
Camille watched his back as he walked towards the bathroom, and a
light smile followed at the corners of her mouth.
Half an hour later, the two departed for the hospital.
At this time of the day, the sky is slowly turning white, but the traffic on
the road has gradually increased.
Camille was sitting in the passenger seat, she looked out the car
window and said to Ayan, "Ayan, have you seen Hance City at this time
of day?"
âI've seen it, I've seen Hance City from early morning to early morning."
He said in a low voice.
Camille asked with some surprise, "When?"
"When I first took over the Simpson Group, I spent from night to
morning on the top floor of the Simpson Group because of the stress."
He responded lightly, causing images of his words to subconsciously
come to Camille's mind.
He never said anything about his past, and they never talked about
anything related to that.
At this moment on Camille's mind she can't help but be curious: "Do
you also have stressful times? Grandpa and Dad both value you highly
and praise you constantly.â
"Grandpa even praised me with you?"
He laughed lightly.
Camille said, "Of course, Grandpa always compliments you."
"I thought he would only praise you, and as for me, this fake grandson
might just happen to simply share his last name." Ayan made a "tsk-tsk"
sound, and his words seemed to reveal a vaguely sour taste.
Camille laughed, "I'll have to pass these words of yours on to Grandpa
some day."
âTo please grandpa, you can even betray your own husband?" He freed
one hand to smoothly take her hand and hold it in his palm.
She retorted, "I'm not pleasing, I'm letting Grandpa know how jealous
you are of me in your mind."
Ayan laughed out loud.
The two of them chatted with each other and time seemed to pass
quickly.
Two traffic lights away from the hospital, Ayan suddenly changed his
words, he asked, "I have a question for you."
"Hmm?"
"If Preston really can't find it and loses his life, will you blame me?"
He asked in a low voice, it happened to be waiting for a green light, so
he almost turned sideways to face her, the pair of dark eyes stared
momentarily, so Camille was stunned.
She asked with a tight frown, "Why are you asking this all of a
sudden?"
She couldn't help but ask more in her mind, was there any news from
Preston?
Ayan simply said, "It just came to me, so what's your answer?"
She asked, "Do you .... have news about him?"
"No."
"Ayan, as for now I just pray that Grandma is safe and the race can go
well, as for the rest I don't think about it that much for now.â
Camille wondered why Ayan suddenly mentioned the matter of Preston,
is it to test her heart attitude towards Preston?
Her attitude toward Preston has never changed, and she has always
understood that there is a price to pay for doing the wrong thing no
matter who it is.
But her answer was not what Ayan wanted. Ayan said, "Grandma's
surgery was successful, and as for the race, you won't have any
problems with your ability, so it doesn't conflict with your answer at all.
Camille, I want you to give me a response, will you blame me?"
He continued to press for answers, his handsome face always focused
on Camille.
She looked at him in silence, and then responded lightly, "No."
Probably because she was worried that Ayan would not believe it, so
she said more: "Ayan, you didn't force him down, and you didn't force
him to jump, it was just an accident that no one wanted to happen, so
why should I blame you?"
Preston's accident has been many days now, she is also very worried,
also silently pray that he can be safe, but this in the end because of
what she is not very clear, so all have to wait for Preston after the news
to be sure.
As for the conflict between Preston and Ayan, the only thing she could
do was to be on the side of justification, but she also knew in her mind
that she was protective of her shortcomings.
After Camille's answer was finished, Ayan just gave a low "hmm" and
she didn't know if he was satisfied or dissatisfied?
Soon after arriving at the hospital, Grandma was still in the Bioclean
Treatment Unit. The nurse told Camille, "You can go back to the
general ward after Dr. Ellis comes to check on her, Grandma is doing
fine, don't worry too much."
âThank you, sorry to bother you all."
"So kind of you Mrs. Simpson, it's all we should do."
Camille gave the nurse a small smile, then looked through the glass at
her grandmother inside.
Camille didn't stay long because she had to go to the office to attend
the competition with Yessica. She told her aunt who was taking care of
her grandmother again and again that she must keep a good watch on
her grandmother, and according to the time estimate, she would wake
up tonight.
She just hoped that everything would go well.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, all the designers and judges had already
gathered at the competition site, and the whole site was crowded with
people.
The game started at 9:30 sharp.
Camille was already in the lounge with Yessica and the others, and
Sienna was there too, and everyone was intensely going over every
detail and outline of the design.
They were seriously busy, and the food and drinks that Sienna had
ordered for them arrived.
She came out of the lounge to pick up takeout, and as she came back,
she passed by the venue organizer's rest area, she saw a familiar
man's figure, then raised her foot and walked over, but before she
could get close enough, she heard a woman's sobbing voice ring out.
