Chapter 790: Upheaval

That night, Ayan stayed at Camille's place.

Under the pretense of accompanying and protecting her.

Camille didn't refuse.

Having him around indeed brought a sense of security, relieving herfrom overthinking or worrying.

However, Camille was unaware of the conversation Ayan had with Kianin the afternoon, so she had no idea what the current situation was.The police had stopped contacting Camille, and as for Amber, they paidher a visit early the next morning.

The police wanted to gather more information from Amber.

Amber had barely slept the previous night, looking extremely worn out.She faced the police during the second round of questioning with noenergy.

Her attitude was seen as uncooperative by the police, who issued awarning, "Miss Torres, if you continue with this attitude and response,we'll have no choice but to bring you to the police station for furtherinvestigation.”

Amber's face darkened slightly as she replied, “I have nothing to dowith this matter. Why do you keep coming to me? I've been greatlydisturbed by all of this. I'm not the only one who has issues with Louise.Why don't you go replace someone else? Are you afraid of the peoplebehind her?"

The police officers present knew exactly whom she was referring to.However, being police officers, they naturally followed the requirementsof their supervisor and were not swayed by her words.

One of the officers responded, "You don't need to teach us how to doour job, Miss. You should just cooperate with us."

In the end, under the stern and firm attitude of the police, Amber had nochoice but to cooperate.

After half an hour of questioning, the police left. Before leaving, theyinstructed Amber, “Miss Torres, we might need your cooperation in thecoming days, so please keep your phone accessible and refrain fromleaving Hance City for now."

Amber nodded absentmindedly, then immediately closed the door afterthey left.

Her expression was stiff, and she had no desire to stay in Hance Cityany longer. Being repeatedly questioned and investigated by the policehad become incredibly tiresome.

She hadn't slept a wink the previous night, all because of this situation.She detested Louise, who continued to haunt her even after death.

It was truly exasperating.

Amber tightly pursed her lips and suddenly made a decision.

She immediately turned and headed for the bedroom to pack herbelongings. She would return to her hometown and come back afterthis matter was resolved.

Once Amber finished packing, she prepared to leave.

However, just before she left, she realized a problem. If she walked outwith her luggage, she would surely be noticed.

After much hesitation, she put the clothes back into the wardrobe andinstead grabbed a small everyday backpack, packing her valuableitems. Then, she left.

Amber hailed a taxi and went straight to the train station, purchasing aticket to her hometown.

She didn't want to endure this torment any longer. It was driving her tothe brink of madness.

Camille learned about Amber's departure from a message in theirgroup chat that afternoon.

Amber's colleagues couldn't reach her, but her assistant had previouslyvisited the museum and struck up a good conversation with one of thearchitects, leaving their contact information. When the people fromAmber's company went to her place, they discovered she was not thereand immediately notified the police.

The investigation revealed that Amber had already left.

Upon seeing this message, Camille unconsciously shared it with Ayan,saying, "Amber just left like that. Is she feeling guilty?"

Ayan had gone to the company in the morning and returned at noon. Inthe afternoon, he stayed with Camille to take care of some work and tokeep her company.

Glancing briefly at the message on her phone screen, he calmlyresponded, "She met Louise on the evening before the incidenthappened, but only she knows what they discussed about.”

"Do you think she has a direct connection to this?"

"l don't know."

Camille put down her phone and propped her feet up on the couch,staring at Ayan with her chin resting in her hand. She looked at himintently and asked, "So there is something you don't know?"

"Just because I'm so amazing means I know everything?"

"Yes, in my heart, you're amazing!"

“In that case, I'll take it as a compliment." He smiled lightly, reaching outto gently pinch her cheek before continuing the conversation. He said,"She probably doesn't have the audacity to do something like that. Afterall, it's not a cat or a dog but a human life. If she did it, she would haveto pay a similar price."

Petty conflicts between women and at workplace are not enough totake away someone's life.

Given Amber's current position in the company, apart from Louise, it'sonly her. With the way the company treated Louise, it's unlikely that shewould continue to genuinely work for the company. Therefore, Amberwould benefit the most from this situation.

So her prospects were good. Why would she dig her own grave?

After listening to Ayan's analysis, Camille nodded along. "Yes, what yousaid makes sense, but why did she still run away when the police hadexplicitly advised her not to? Is she scared?"

"Yes, is she scared?"

Ayan squinted his eyes slightly, his brows furrowing, and his clear eyespaused for a moment, as if he had thought of something.

His handsome face revealed a hint of indifference, and a coldnessemanated from his eyes. In a low and deep voice, he said, "If it wereyou, would you sneak away despite knowing it would make you appearguilty out of pure fear?"

"Why would I leave? I haven't done anything wrong. Leaving would onlymake me look guilty, wouldn't it?"

"Then under what circumstances would someone have the idea ofleaving, knowing that it would make others suspicious, but still chooseto leave without hesitation?"

Camille didn't understand why Ayan was asking this, so she didn'timmediately answer the question. She simply furrowed her brows andstared at him.

She asked, "Why are you asking this question?"

"I want to know one answer, to see if what you're thinking matcheswhat I'm thinking."

Camille's eyes flickered with confusion, but she still answered hisquestion. She said, "If it were me, unless there was a compellingreason, I would never make a suspicious move for somethingcompletely unrelated to me."

"Yes, unless there was a compelling reason. What compelling reasonwould force her to leave?" Ayan's lips curled into a cold smile. His gazemet Camille's eyes again as he said, "I'll make a call to Kian."

Camille nodded, understanding that Ayan must have discoveredsomething.

She watched as Ayan walked to the balcony with his phone, and theconversation ended after just a few sentences.

When he came back in, Camille didn't ask.

But he brought it up on his own. "Curious about why I called Kian?"

"If you want to tell me, you will naturally.”

He said calmly, "Amber's departure is likely due to fear, not guilt.”"Fear? What is she fearful of?"

"She's afraid she won't be able to withstand the police's repeatedquestioning and might say things she doesn't want to."

Camille furrowed her brows slightly and instantly understood what Ayanmeant.

Their gazes met, and Ayan smiled faintly. “Do you understand what Imean?"

"So you had Kian go replace Amber?”

“Not to replace her, just to keep an eye on her. Then I'll release someinformation, and naturally, someone will come looking for Amber."

A coldness shimmered in Ayan's eyes. He hoped to resolve everythingbefore the video Kian showed him yesterday was exposed.

Otherwise, he would have to waste more unnecessary time and energydealing with this matter.

Ayan didn't tell Camille. He didn't want her to worry.

On the other side, Kian arrived at Amber's hometown on the same day,a small town near Hance City. Kian arranged for someone to keep aneye on Amber 24/7, ensuring the safety of Amber and her family. Aftertaking care of these matters, he quickly reported to Ayan and preparedto return to Hance City.

However, at this moment, a video went viral online.

The content of the video was the same as what Kian showed Ayan-thefootage of a man in a black car arriving at Louise's apartment.

It coincided with the time determined by the police regarding Louise'sincident, so this man was closely connected to Louise's death.Netizens and media reporters who saw the video and its content didn'texpect it to be related to the man in the footage. The internet was in anuproar.
