My Ex-husband Begs Me Back -
Chapter 755 Lost Face
In the bustling city, there was a luxurious villa with a large courtyard.The owner of the villa was a wealthy businessman named ZhangCheng. He had made his fortune through various business venturesand lived a lavish lifestyle.
However, despite his wealth and success, Zhang Cheng had oneweakness - he cared deeply about his reputation. He couldn't bear tolose face in front of others and would go to great lengths to protect it.One day, while attending an important business meeting with severalother businessmen, Zhang Cheng received some bad news. One of hisinvestments had failed miserably, resulting in a significant loss ofmoney.
Zhang Cheng was devastated by this news and immediately left themeeting without saying anything. He rushed back to his villa and lockedhimself in his room for days on end.
During this time, rumors began to spread throughout the city that ZhangCheng's business empire was crumbling. People started talking behindhis back and questioning whether he was truly as successful as heclaimed to be.
Zhang Cheng couldn't bear the shame of losing face in front of others.He became increasingly paranoid and reclusive, refusing to leave hisvilla or see anyone else.
As time passed by, Zhang Cheng's once-great reputation began tocrumble away completely. His businesses failed one after another untilhe eventually lost everything he had worked so hard for.
In the end, all that remained were whispers about how one man'sobsession with protecting his own image led him down a path towardsruin and despair - an unfortunate lesson for anyone who values theirreputation above all else.
Molly's words surprised and shocked Luke and Naomi.
Naomi couldn't believe it and said, "Are you lying? Are you trying todeceive us?"
Molly replied, “If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do.”
Molly had a cold expression on her face with no glimmer in her eyes. Itwas hard to tell if what she said was true or false.
Luke and Naomi looked at each other before Luke took a deep breathand asked, "You're going to marry him?"
“I'm already pregnant with his child. What else can I do?" Molly replied."What about him? Does he want to marry you?" Luke asked flatly.Molly didn't answer immediately. She repeated the question in hermind. Did he want to marry her?
With pursed lips, Molly finally answered, "Of course!"
Luke let out a disappointed laugh. He said, "Great! This is my daughterwho I've cherished so much in my hands! You're cruel to me and yourmother for this man! You'd rather give up your family for him?"
Molly remained silent.
Luke continued speaking sternly,"Since you insist on being withPreston, then don't regret it. If you choose Preston over us then we'llcut all ties!"
After Luke spoke those words Molly also fell silent.
She looked at Luke incredulously as tears rolled down her cheeks whileNaomi cried silently beside them.
Their attitudes were firm; they had probably discussed this before Mollyreturned home.
They wanted to force Molly into breaking things off completely withPreston through this method.
The Walker family wasn't the top-tier elite but they were one of the oldaristocratic families of Flento City's elite circle; an old enterprise thathad been around for years now.
Whoever Molly would replace as a husband later would have to be ablematch their status accordingly too.
As for Preston Mr. and Mrs. Walker didn't think he was good enough fortheir daughter because of his behavior which they did not approve of sothey refused outrightly too when approached by him or even by theirdaughter about marriage proposals from him
After hearing what Luke said, Molly remained quiet until she whisperedsoftly,"You want to cut all ties with me?"
Luke persisted with a cold face, saying, "If that's how you feel, then sobe it. If you insist on being with Preston, then from now on we theWalker family will no longer have a daughter like you. Do as youplease, but do you know what? You deceived us into sending youabroad for further studies. This has made me and your mother loseface!"
Luke raised his hand and slapped himself hard in the face. Despitehaving been in the business world for many years, no one had everspoken to him like this before.
Faced with Luke's emotions, Molly was also at a loss for wordsbecause Luke had never said such harsh words before. She began tofeel anxious and scared.
"Why don't you agree?" Molly asked. "Preston is someone that theWalker family personally chose to adopt into our family. You weresatisfied with him at first; that's why he was adopted right? Why won'tyou let us be together now? Why?"
"Molly," Luke replied sternly. “Your mother and I only adopted Prestonto support his education so that he could treat you well as if he wereyour own brother or sister when taking over Walker Group andeverything related to the Walker family in the future! We never saidanything about letting him marry into our family! If he had any gratitudewhatsoever in his heart, he wouldn't have left us behind just like thatwhen going off to Hance City with Camille! We've really raised anungrateful person!"
Naomi was also very emotional about this situation - especially whenshe thought about how Preston abandoned everything they taught himat Walker Group after becoming successful there just so he could startanew in Hance City alongside Camille - they couldn't bear it.
They felt like not only did they raise an ungrateful person but alsosomeone who would use their teachings against them if given half achance.
This kind of person didn't show any gratitude or consideration towardsthem; how could they trust such a person? Naomi accused Preston ofall these things while Molly remained oblivious — she couldn't believe itnor did she want to believe it: "No way," she said firmly "Preston can'tpossibly be this kind of person; there's no way he'd abandon TheWalkers."
Luke didn't want to hear any more from Preston. He grabbed a glass ofwater and smashes it on the floor. Then he calls the servant: "Get herout of here. We don't have anyone like that in the Walker family. Fromnow on, when she comes home, she doesn't have to open the door.Luke wasn't just talking. After giving instructions to the servant, heimmediately got up and went upstairs, taking Naomi with him.
The elderly couple made this decision out of necessity, as Mollyrefused to turn back no matter what.
The servants were also in a difficult position. Although Luke's wordswere decisive, Molly was still their daughter, so they couldn't reallydrive her away. They began to persuade her: "Miss, you should talk toMadam and Sir properly. They won't harm you. As parents, they onlywant the best for their children. They are worried about you being sodetermined to be with Mr. Chu!"
Molly remained silent and sat on the sofa for a long time. She didn'tstay long with the Walker family, and now Luke and Naomi refused totalk to her properly. They were probably even angry just at the sight ofher. So she left the Walker's Villa and found a nearby hotel totemporarily stay in.
Molly hasn't contacted Preston. She wants to wait for him to rememberher and reach out to her on his own, because she has already takenthe initiative too many times. However, Preston has always been veryindifferent towards her, which has made her doubt his sincerity towardsher more than once. But every time, she convinces herself otherwise.This time, she is determined to hold out.
As soon as Molly left the Walker family and moved into a hotel,someone immediately told Kian.
Kian also immediately reported the news to Ayan, saying, "It seems thatMolly and the Walker family haven't come to an agreement. Ispecifically had someone inquire with their servants and found out thatMr. and Mrs. Walker don't want Molly to be with Preston and are forcingher to break up by cutting off ties."
Ayan nodded and said, "Then let's give Mr. and Mrs. Walker Preston'spictures along with the others since Molly is unwilling to do anything.Let Mr. and Mrs. Walker do it for her."
"Will Mr. and Mrs. Walker be able to accept the impact on their health?""No way, Molly is the only daughter of the Walker family. They still haveto work hard to wake up their love-struck daughter!"
Ayan's plan is understood by Kian, but he expresses some concernand asks, "Mr. Simpson, what if Preston doesn't respond to our calls?""He doesn't know how to handle it. So many things have happened oneafter another, if Preston is still indifferent, then he is not the samePreston anymore. Although he can remain calm, being provokedrepeatedly will eventually push anyone to do something.”
Ayan is very confident, especially when it comes to people like Preston.He definitely won't sit back and take this loss lying down.
Kian sent Luke photos of Preston and another woman in ananonymous email that day. After hearing that Luke saw these photos,he almost went straight to Hance City to kill Preston.
DE a oY
Luke had a big temper tantrum and immediately called Molly back tothe Walker family.
Luke threw the photos in front of Molly, pointed them in her nose andasked, "Did you know he was seeing someone else? Are you gonnastick with this guy after all this? Go and get rid of that baby at once,you're not going to have it!"
Luke's words were decisive, and he immediately asked Naomi to takeMolly to the hospital.
