My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 762: Mischief

Elijah's expression immediately froze because he knew that Ayan wasright. Ayan wouldn't have come to ask him this question on purpose.His face became stiff as he stared at Ayan and asked, "What do youwant to do?"

Ayan glanced at him lightly and looked calmly at Elijah. He respondedslowly, “It's not about what I want to do, it's about what you guys wantto do.”

Elijah instantly lowered his gaze and stopped looking into Ayan's eyes.He was avoiding the topic.

But how could Ayan not see through it?

A cold smile appeared on his face as he said, "Are you sure you wantboth father and son to fall completely because of Preston?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Elijah replied.

He acted like he wasn't cooperating with anything related to Preston.He obviously didn't want to talk about any topics related to Preston withAyan.

Looking at Elijah like this, naturally, Ayan understood that there must bea lot of things hidden in him.

He looked at Elijah expressionlessly and said, "So you chose Prestonover Sean?"

Elijah's face instantly stiffened. Ignoring his reaction automatically, Ayancontinued in a voice that was neither cold nor hot: "Sean has been inmy hands for quite some time now. Even if it is Preston today who hasno way out because in Hance City he doesn't have the ability replacepeople from my hands."

Aya knew that if Elijah didn't see Sean then he wouldn't give up soeasily; therefore directly opening the phone video which had alreadybeen recorded earlier by himself before handing it over directly intoElijah's eyes while saying lightly: "Since I came here specifically for thismatter today I'm not here just fooling around or playing games withyou."

“You have two choices now; either choose Sean or choose Preston —decide for yourself."

Giving enough time for Elijah's thoughts without asking how would bechosen during this period of time; instead continuing again: "Whether itis The Armstrong Family's affairs or your son Sean's actions areactually all working for Preston right? What exactly are father and sonso loyal towards?"

Elijah remained silent as if hesitating but also seemed unable make adecision.

Aya wasn't anxious either but kept silent giving enough time for himthink clearly during this process while silence filled the air around themmaking Elija feel like his heart was being hit by a heavy hammerrepeatedly without lightness nor heaviness

After a long while passed by quietly, Aya spoke softly,"Have you madeup your mind?"

Elijah's face was very gloomy, and a thick mist shrouded his eyebrows.He hung his head and spoke in a deep voice, "I have nothing to thinkabout, nothing to say. My son working for Preston is just a normal job. Ifyou tie my son up because of me, Mr. Simpson, what you're doing isillegal and I can sue you."

Ayan narrowed his eyes slightly and a faint cold smile appeared on histhin lips. It seemed that the relationship between Elijah and Prestonwas not as simple as mere cooperation since no one would truly giveup their own child for the sake of profit.

Since Elijah was in such a difficult position, both Preston and Seanwere equally important to him.

So what exactly was the relationship between Elijah and Preston?However, Ayan immediately dismissed the idea that they were father-son since it seemed unlikely given their appearance or other factors.Ayan stared at Elijah with probing eyes for quite some time withoutblinking. His gaze gradually became cold and his patience wasn't asabundant as before when he said indifferently with an obvious tone:"Alright then if you want to sue me go ahead but only if you haveenough evidence; otherwise your days with your son Sean may not betoo pleasant in the future. Then we'll see whether it's Preston who canhelp you or whether you can save yourself.”

After finishing speaking Ayan had already stood up.

He looked down at Elijah from above; all that needed to be said hadbeen said so there was no point in continuing questioning him furthersince some people are stubborn not because they can really keepsecrets but either because it's not yet time or because threats aren'tsufficient enough for them to speak out.

However Ayan didn't come here today solely for making sure that Elijahwould actually speak out; after all given how much trouble he could getinto just by helping Preston avoid jail time meant their relationship mustbe quite deep so he came here only to confirm once again what hiddenthings existed between them regarding The Simpson family?

He narrowed his eyes slightly while looking at him closely; there wereseveral expressions on his face indicating scrutiny but just when Elijahthought he would leave like this Ayan suddenly spoke again: “Iseverything you've done aimed towards The Simpson family?"

Elijah's eyes flickered momentarily; disbelief filled them completelybefore quickly denying: “I don't know what you're talking about."

“Is that so?" Ayan just sneered and then lightly hooked his lips, saying,“If you have figured it out, you can contact me anytime. But the premiseis that before I figure out what you guys want to do, if you contact meafter I replace out, then sorry, it's too late.”

After Ayan finished speaking, he didn't linger any longer and lifted hisfoot to leave the reception room directly.

Only Elijah was left sitting there, staring blankly without moving.

Kian had been waiting outside the door and immediately went up toAyan when he saw him come out. Kian asked in a low voice, "Mr.Simpson, how was the conversation?"

Ayan just glanced at Kian without responding, but the dark expressionon his face already indicated what his answer would be.

Ayan thanked the prison warden and left the prison with Kian by car.After getting out of prison, Ayan sat in the back seat and spoke calmly:"Did you get the video we just talked about?"

"Got it."

"Then send it to Sean to have a look."

"Ayan said indifferently.”

Kian nodded and drove to Sean's villa.

Ayan didn't get much from Elijah, so naturally he wants to talk to Sean.Before Ayan arrived at the villa, Kian had already informed thebodyguards to take Sean out of his room. Sean had been locked uphere for many days, without seeing daylight and spending each dayblindfolded in his room.

At this moment, he brought Ayan to the living room and took off the eyemask that was covering his eyes. Sean immediately became excitedwhen he saw Ayan sitting calmly there.

He said, "Ayan, release me if you have the guts. We should fight head-on. What kind of man are you keeping me here like this? You evendon't dare to fight me alone! You're no match for Preston, and Prestonwill make you and the Simpson family pay the price!"

Compared to the silence after seeing Elijah, Sean's reaction seemedtoo noisy.

Sean was tied to a chair, so he could only get excited verbally butcouldn't do anything physically.

Seeing him, Ayan said nothing, but asked Kian to show him the video ofhim just meeting Elijah.

Sean became quiet and his face became serious when he saw Elijah inthe video. He stared at Ayan and asked, "What do you mean?"

Kian put away his phone and simply threatened Sean with indifference.He snorted coldly, not taking Kian seriously at all. He said, "Who do youthink you are? Is it your turn to talk to me?"

Kian was not angry either, he just gave him a faint glance and thenreturned to stand beside Ayan.

Sean's gaze also fell on Ayan, and he stared at him as if he wanted toswallow him alive. He asked, "Isn't it enough for you and your wifeCamille to send my father to jail? How much more mischief do you twohave to continue?"
