Chapter 649 Crossing the Line

Preston's face suddenly changed and his eyebrows furrowed, his voiceflooded with displeasure as he asked, "Cami, what do you mean bythat?"

“You just have to answer me, is it the former or the latter?" Camille stillstared at Preston's eyes with a very cold look, her eyes carrying acompulsion that was hard to resist or ignore.

The expression on Preston's face had also sunk coldly. He did not replyimmediately, and only after a few seconds of silence did he say: "Wehave not seen each other for so long. Do you really want to ask mesuch a question from the very start, without any catching up?"

“I don't see anything wrong about asking it, no matter how long it'sbeen since we've seen each other.”

"And Ayan didn't say anything to you?"

"I already said that what we talked about today had nothing to do withhim."

"Cami, it is not as simple as you have said. It's between me and Ayan,naturally it is related to him."

Camille smiled indifferently, she said directly: "But from the beginning,the whole thing is led by you. If it is not because you calculated Ayan'sproject, how could he force you?"

"Cami, so you think it's my fault? You don't think Ayan is at fault foranything?"

Preston sneered, but there was no laughter in his eyes, only coldquestioning.

Camille also did not have the slightest timidity and retreat. She met hiseyes head-on, her tone always indifferent: “I do not know exactly who isright and who is wrong. I don't know what it is between you two. I onlyknow that you should not do that, and should not regard other people'slives as your stake, because many people are involved in this matter,even I was also pushed into the front. Preston, you really take me as afriend?"

Camille had never asked him these words. Since the incident , they hadnot talked seriously about this matter.

Although things and time will pass, it does not mean that they will treatthose issues as if they did not happen.

The atmosphere had also become more tense because of Camille'swords, and the two eyes had always looked at each other, but the lookunder their eyes had gradually changed.

Preston did not say anything. Camille didn't want to waste any moretime. She said again: “This matter has not been resolved so far. Whenyou were away, didn't you think about all the people involved in thismatter? Do you think everything can disappear when you come backwith a new identity?"

"Cami, are you now suggesting that you want me to turn myself in?"Preston smiled, indifference flashing across his eyes.

Camille denies it: "How could it be? I have no right to ask you to dothat. It's just for you to decide."

"So you and I will never be the same again, will we?"

She didn't say anything, because in her heart she didn't know what theanswer was either.

Some things, not just romance, friendships are the same. Once thesigns of brokenness appear, it is difficult to return to what was once.So she didn't want to answer the question with deception.

Preston never answered the question she asked at the beginning, andhe also changed the subject directly. He said: "Cami, I'm with Molly. Ifyou are worried that there will be pressure to resume the previousrelationship with me as good friends, it's not necessary at all. Now I dotreat you like a family, a sister. After all, our years of friendship isprecious, so I do not want to have anything uncomfortable in therelationship with you because of some misunderstanding.”

He said frankly, as if he had no reservation about revealing all thethoughts of his heart to Camille. He wanted to tell Camille, if onlybecause she was worried that he still liked her, then there was no need,because he was now with Molly, so now, he only regarded Camille as asister.

Camille didn't know if she believed it or not, but she didn't say anythingfor a while.

Preston's voice was low and laughing: "Cami, after all my words, doyou still refuse to believe me? What exactly do you think you want meto do so that you don't treat me with such indifference?"

"Since you're with Molly, and knowing Molly like I do, I don't think shewants us to have any contact and continue to be friends, right?"

“No, I've made it very clear to her, and she's clear that my feelings foryou are just friends and nothing more, so she won't."

Preston replied with great certainty.

Camille, however, just smiled as she said, "I'm a girl, I know girls, andyou should never underestimate what a girl is thinking about.”

“You can really rest assured about this, Molly also said that she wantsto apologize to you when she has the chance, and hopes that you canforgive her for the what happened before. So are you free to havedinner together?"

He stared at Camille with a gentle, light smile on his face, his eyes filledwith a look of anticipation for her response.

Camille did not answer Preston's words as he had hoped, but onlyrefused without much emotion: “No, if there is a real opportunity tomeet, it'll come naturally, so let's talk about it then!"

After saying that, she looked at the time on her phone, then saidlimpassively, "I still have some work to do, so if you don't haveanything else, then I'll go back to the office first."

"Cami!" Preston immediately spoke up, "I still say, I'll do whatever youwant me to do in Grandma's case."

"How is it possible to replace evidence after so long?"

“I have to replace it even if I can't, because you will only believe me ifeverything comes out, and if I replace the evidence, will you believe me? Ifso, I will do whatever I can to replace the evidence to prove that it hadnothing to do with me. Cami, I just need a word from you."

Preston's stance seemed firm, and his eyes were staring straight atCamille, waiting for her to speak up and answer.

But Camille didn't speak.

Preston thought she didn't quite believe it, so he followed up with,"Cami, Grandma's death won't do me any good, but it might not be sofor others, so we should figure out this.”

Camille pursed her lips lightly, the emotions under her eyes making itimpossible for Preston to read her mind, for the emotion in her eyeswas not very obvious, but it wasn't nothing there either.

But it's this somewhat coldness made Preston a bit puzzled.

He whispered, "Cami, why are you not even talking?"

Camille gave a light smile, “I trust Ayan. He wouldn't do that."

Because Ayan would not do that. Even if it is not for her, he wouldalsohink t about Timmy. After all, Timmy is also his child. He couldn'tput Timmy in the hatred of his parents, making him bear such pressurefrom childhood.

So he wouldn't.

This was something Camille believes in unconditionally.

But Camille's answer made Preston become agitated, and he sneeredand questioned Camille: "So you'd rather trust Ayan than me? Why?Are you still in love with him now? Are you? Didn't you already want todivorce him and have separated? Why are you still with him?"Preston's questioning made Camille completely unable to sit there. Sheshowed up just to know the answers to the questions she had justasked, but he didn't want to answer them, so there was no point instaying any longer.

She said indifferently, “Your question has crossed the line, so don't sayit again.”

When Camille finished, she was already out of her seat.

Preston wanted to go after her, but in the end, he didn't move.

The two of them parted on awkward terms, and Preston had moreemotion and resentment pent up in his heart. He thought all of themwere naturally on Ayan. It was because of Ayan that Camille becamelike this.

He didn't stay in the cafe much longer and contacted Sean as soon ashe got back in the car. "Has Eileen left?"

"Not yet, the afternoon flight.”

"Tell her to come and see me."

“No problem.”

Preston returned to his place. Eileen also arrived at about the sametime. Eileen left the hospital just to replace an excuse to come out for ameal, so the hospital staff hadn't told Ayan yet.

Eileen asked confusedly, "Why are you meeting me at this time? Whatif Ayan replaces out?"
