My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 770 Fear

A few minutes later, Kian emerged from the bathroom and looked atSean. "Since we've talked about everything, I should go now. Oh, andPreston will definitely be suspicious of what you did online. If you don'twant him to have any negative feelings towards you, then push all theblame onto Molly!"

Kian directly mentioned Molly's name, causing Sean's face to stiffeninstantly. Kian gave him a deep look before turning around and leavingwithout waiting for a response.

As he passed by the entranceway, Kian casually placed his phone onthe shoe rack and wiped away any fingerprints or traces.

After leaving Sean's place, Kian got into his car and instructed hisaccompanying bodyguard: “Delete all surveillance records of our visithere. 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 doorbefore walking in. He looked at the man sitting behind a desk and said,"Mr. Simpson, I've obtained what we needed," said Kian immediatelyupon entering. "On my way back here I checked into it further. Therewas one number belonging to Campole which had been contactedfrequently by Sean, but since there was no name attached to it norcould its owner be traced due to it being a temporary number. We mightneed to go to Campole to have a check."

Ayan looked up at Kian, his handsome face revealing an indifferentlook, and his pale skin was particularly clear in the sunlight. He leanedfaintly on the leather office chair behind him for nearly half a minutebefore he slowly said, "Don't bother going there. Isn't there someonealready available for us?" asked Ayan calmly while leaning back ontohis 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 Ayannonchalantly, as if this was something obvious enough not worthmentioning again.

“But Eileen is still not entirely trustworthy since she is tied together withPreston after all," pointed out Kian feeling uneasy about relying toomuch on Eileen, given her cunning personality which he had witnessedfirsthand during their time together in Hance City previously; surely itwouldn'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 exposedhave made the Norman family keep a close eye on her. And with Austinnot 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 andthe other to help investigate this matter."

Kian understood Ayan's meaning. It was better to replace someone whohad a stake in this investigation instead of handling it himself. It wouldbe 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 replaces out about this?"Ayan gave him a cold look that silenced him immediately. Kianexplained huttiedly, “I talked too much."

Then Ayan signaled him to leave.

Kian's words made sense as he had released Sean but hadn't toldCamille yet. She would eventually replace out, since Sean was close toPreston and always around.

Ayan sighed silently as his expression turned somber. He couldn't hideanything from Camille anymore; otherwise their relationship would goback 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, staringblankly ahead while trying not to let his emotions get the best of himafter hearing what Kian said earlier about Ayan knowing everything hedid with Molly.

He knew Ayan only caught him for what he did to Camille earlier, butnow that he questioned Elijah's connection with Preston made Seandoubt 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 tocalm down.

But there wasn't much he could do at this point since any suddenreaction might make Preston suspicious, which was something Seancouldn't afford right now.

His mind raced, causing great unease within himself, leaving no peaceor comfort behind.

Sean lost his appetite when he saw the food in front of him. His phonerang, but it wasn't in his pocket or on the sofa. It was coming from thehallway. 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 stillresting. I found a new place to live,” Sean gave Preston the addressand explained carefully, "I thought about what you said last night andrealized that living in my old place with people I know isn't very suitablefor me right now. I'll stay here for a while before replaceing 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 beforeheading straight to Preston's place. When he arrived Preston had justfinished showering and his hair was still dripping water as he leanedagainst the floor-to-ceiling window soaking up some sun with an air ofaloofness.

Seeing him like this made Sean afraid to speak too loudly, so he stoodquietly on one side waiting for Preston's instructions.

His demeanor made Preston smirked and say teasingly,"Sean, what'swrong with you? Why do you seem scared of me? Ayan is the one whotook you away not me! Why do you have such fear towards me? Whatare you afraid of?"

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

"Worried? What are you worried about?" asked Prestonexpressionlessly while sitting down.

“I'm worried about what Ayan will do next after taking me away withoutdoing anything bad this time. He let me go back safely by your sidewhich makes me feel uneasy.” Sean replied while keeping his eyeslowered.

"Don't worry; if your return means nothing happened then there is noneed for concern.” responded Preston coldly staring at him with anintense gaze filled with chilling indifference . Though his expressionremained gentle as usual, it sent shivers down Sean's spine, makinghim feel uncomfortable .

Sean couldn't even look directly at him, his heart pounding withnervousness and unease. He didn't know if Preston had noticed hisreaction or not, but the coldness in his expression only grew stronger.Finally, he asked in a detached tone, "Sean, do you have anything todo with what happened to Camille?"
