Chapter 770 Fear

A few minutes later, Kian emerged from the bathroom and looked at

Sean. "Since we've talked about everything, I should go now. Oh, and

Preston will definitely be suspicious of what you did online. If you don't

want him to have any negative feelings towards you, then push all the

blame onto Molly!"

Kian directly mentioned Molly's name, causing Sean's face to stiffen

instantly. Kian gave him a deep look before turning around and leaving

without waiting for a response.

As he passed by the entranceway, Kian casually placed his phone on

the shoe rack and wiped away any fingerprints or traces.

After leaving Sean's place, Kian got into his car and instructed his

accompanying bodyguard: “Delete all surveillance records of our visit

here. Don't leave anything that Preston can use against us."

"Understood," replied the bodyguard, nodding in agreement.

The car then drove straight towards Simpson Group's office.

Half an hour later in Mr. Simpson's office, Kian knocked on the door

before walking in. He looked at the man sitting behind a desk and said,

"Mr. Simpson, I've obtained what we needed," said Kian immediately

upon entering. "On my way back here I checked into it further. There

was one number belonging to Campole which had been contacted

frequently by Sean, but since there was no name attached to it nor

could its owner be traced due to it being a temporary number. We might

need to go to Campole to have a check."

Ayan looked up at Kian, his handsome face revealing an indifferent

look, and his pale skin was particularly clear in the sunlight. He leaned

faintly on the leather office chair behind him for nearly half a minute

before he slowly said, "Don't bother going there. Isn't there someone

already available for us?" asked Ayan calmly while leaning back onto

his leather chair with half-lidded eyes.

"Are you referring to Eileen?" asked Kian curiously.

"If she wants me to help her when she gets thrown aside by Preston,

then naturally she won't mind helping me out either," replied Ayan

nonchalantly, as if this was something obvious enough not worth

mentioning again.

“But Eileen is still not entirely trustworthy since she is tied together with

Preston after all," pointed out Kian feeling uneasy about relying too

much on Eileen, given her cunning personality which he had witnessed

firsthand during their time together in Hance City previously; surely it

wouldn't have changed much.

Ayan laughed indifferently, saying, "Her life in Campole isn't easy either.

Cora's disappearance and her relationship with Austin being exposed

have made the Norman family keep a close eye on her. And with Austin

not being around in Campole, do you think she can live comfortably?

Arrange for two people to assist her. One to keep an eye on her and

the other to help investigate this matter."

Kian understood Ayan's meaning. It was better to find someone who

had a stake in this investigation instead of handling it himself. It would

be easier that way without having to get his hands dirty.

However, Kian still had some concerns and asked quietly, "Mr.

Simpson, will Mrs. Simpson be unhappy if she finds out about this?"

Ayan gave him a cold look that silenced him immediately. Kian

explained huttiedly, “I talked too much."

Then Ayan signaled him to leave.

Kian's words made sense as he had released Sean but hadn't told

Camille yet. She would eventually find out, since Sean was close to

Preston and always around.

Ayan sighed silently as his expression turned somber. He couldn't hide

anything from Camille anymore; otherwise their relationship would go

back to square one.

Even if it meant jumping into an abyss ahead of him, he would do it,

because she was the love of his life.

After Kian left with his men, Sean sat motionless on the sofa, staring

blankly ahead while trying not to let his emotions get the best of him

after hearing what Kian said earlier about Ayan knowing everything he

did with Molly.

He knew Ayan only caught him for what he did to Camille earlier, but

now that he questioned Elijah's connection with Preston made Sean

doubt Ayan's true intentions.

Why would he was released so easily without Preston doing anything?

Sean felt uneasy thinking of it.

Ayan would not let him off.

The thought sent shivers down Sean's spine, making it hard for him to

calm down.

But there wasn't much he could do at this point since any sudden

reaction might make Preston suspicious, which was something Sean

couldn't afford right now.

His mind raced, causing great unease within himself, leaving no peace

or comfort behind.

Sean lost his appetite when he saw the food in front of him. His phone

rang, but it wasn't in his pocket or on the sofa. It was coming from the

hallway. He frowned and walked to the shoe cabinet to grab his phone,

thinking that he probably left it there when he came home last night.

It was Preston calling.

He quickly answered, "Mr. Walker!"

Preston's voice was indifferent as he asked, "Where are you?"

“I went out this morning. I didn't want to disturb you since you were still

resting. I found a new place to live,” Sean gave Preston the address

and explained carefully, "I thought about what you said last night and

realized that living in my old place with people I know isn't very suitable

for me right now. I'll stay here for a while before finding another place.”

Preston didn't care about this and simply said, “Come over now."

Sean immediately replied, "Okay, I'll go now."

He couldn't even eat anymore so he changed clothes quickly before

heading straight to Preston's place. When he arrived Preston had just

finished showering and his hair was still dripping water as he leaned

against the floor-to-ceiling window soaking up some sun with an air of

aloofness.

Seeing him like this made Sean afraid to speak too loudly, so he stood

quietly on one side waiting for Preston's instructions.

His demeanor made Preston smirked and say teasingly,"Sean, what's

wrong with you? Why do you seem scared of me? Ayan is the one who

took you away not me! Why do you have such fear towards me? What

are you afraid of?"

Sean shook his head hastily,"I'm not scared! It's just that... I'm

worried..."

"Worried? What are you worried about?" asked Preston

expressionlessly while sitting down.

“I'm worried about what Ayan will do next after taking me away without

doing anything bad this time. He let me go back safely by your side

which makes me feel uneasy.” Sean replied while keeping his eyes

lowered.

"Don't worry; if your return means nothing happened then there is no

need for concern.” responded Preston coldly staring at him with an

intense gaze filled with chilling indifference . Though his expression

remained gentle as usual, it sent shivers down Sean's spine, making

him feel uncomfortable .

Sean couldn't even look directly at him, his heart pounding with

nervousness and unease. He didn't know if Preston had noticed his

reaction or not, but the coldness in his expression only grew stronger.

Finally, he asked in a detached tone, "Sean, do you have anything to

do with what happened to Camille?"
