Chapter 799: Insults

Of course, he didn't think Louise had discovered his secret and wantedto silence him this way. After all, he had kept his matters hidden sodeeply that not even Sean knew, let alone someone like Louise.

One night is brief, but a lot can happen.

Sean became the target of a full-scale police manhunt. To avoid beingcaught, he abandoned his car on a road not far from Preston's placeand disappeared from the surveillance cameras in a small alley.

Sean was gone, and rumors about him started spreading. Attentionshifted, and even the executives of the museum project became thefocus of suspicion. Netizens believed Louise's death must havesomething to do with Sean and continued to hurl insults at him online.Some "well-intentioned" individuals even joined the team helping thepolice apprehend Sean.

Ayan arrived at the company early, and Kian immediately briefed himon the situation.

Kian said, "Sean is now chased by everyone, Mr. Simpson. I'm worriedthat if we don't reach out to replace him, he won't last long."

“That's his problem. What's it got to do with me?" Ayan snorted. Theonly reason he involved Sean was to uncover Preston's true intentions.However, Sean was too cunning and had no intention of cooperating.Not only that, he wanted to gain benefits without giving anything inreturn. Ayan wasn't a fool.

Ayan continued, "If Sean contacts you voluntarily, don't get tooinvolved. If he doesn't give us what we want, ignore him."

"I understand,” Kian nodded in agreement. They reached the officedoor, and Kian quickly opened it for Ayan. After Ayan entered, Kianfollowed suit and closed the door behind them. He whispered, "Mr.Simpson, we need to go to Dane City for the project in the next fewdays because this matter has already delayed us for a couple of days.”"Well, you set a date,” Ayan said calmly.

Louise's situation had lasted for several days now, and due to itsvolatility, every time the police collected new evidence, things changed.It had already wasted a significant amount of manpower and resources.But Ayan already had an answer in his mind. This matter was mostlikely directly related to Preston, with a high probability. As for Austin,he hadn't shown up or made any moves so far, so his involvement wasuncertain.

Ayan had shifted all the blame onto Sean. He did so to continue stayingin Hance City, and Ayan was certain that dealing with the Simpsonfamily and Simpson Group had to happen in Hance City. As long as hewas in Hance City, nothing was too terrifying.

Ayan didn't dwell on it any longer. He busied himself with work.Simpson Group had numerous projects, big and small, and someimportant ones required his review and signature. Additionally, it wasthe end of the month, and department heads needed to conduct worksummaries.

So he was busy today.

In comparison, Camille had much more leisure time.

The museum project was on hold since the matter hadn't beencompletely resolved. Jenson informed everyone in the chat group, "Noneed to worry. The project won't end because of this. It wasn't any of uswho made the mistake. Just stay silent and wait. Although none of youhave any wrongdoing, I hope we can avoid internal conflicts anddisputes in future cooperation and work. If there's anything, let'sdiscuss it openly and not breed trouble behind the scenes.”

This message served as a reminder to Amber and others.

The group included Amber and Preston, but neither of them spoke.They both were implicated in this matter. While the current evidencepointed to Preston's secretary, Sean, as the culprit, Amber knew thetruth. So, she was extremely restless, despite having reported to thepolice with Jenson's company. She still felt anxious and fearful.

After deep consideration during lunchtime, Amber ultimately resignedfrom her company. She posted a resignation and project withdrawalstatement in the group and promptly left the group.

Amber did this to let Preston know that she wouldn't say anything andhoped he would let her go.

Amber didn't stay in Hance City any longer. She left alone in her car.As for the troublemakers, they didn't continue to harass her, butwhether it was temporary or not remained unknown.

Upon seeing the news of Amber's departure, Camille wasn't particularlysurprised. Although she didn't know Amber's true thoughts or her mainreason for leaving, it was impossible for Amber to continue working atthe company after her major dispute with Louise before her death.

At the same time, Camille couldn't help but think, if she had acceptedLouise's apology back then, would none of these things havehappened?

Would Louise still be alive?

She asked Sienna about these questions. Sienna replied, "As long asyou have a clear conscience, that's what matters. It wasn't you whomade the mistake, so why do you such thoughts? Besides, the errorsthat person committed didn't happen overnight. So, don't burdenyourself with guilt.”

“I'm not blaming myself. These questions just popped into my headbecause of recent events!"

“You should think about me more instead. So, when are you coming tosee me?"

"With so many things happening right now, how can I afford to goaround? "

"Sigh, in the end, your love for me isn't deep enough, right? Iunderstand, I get it. You don't need to explain anything. I know."Sienna started her drama again, and Camille remained silent and justwatched it.

They chatted halfheartedly for a long time, then Camille ended the call.After talking to Sienna, Camille's phone rang again after a while.

It was a call from a delivery guy: "Miss Armstrong, I have a package foryou. Since I can't enter the gate of your apartment building, can youcome down and pick it up?"

"My package? I didn't buy anything!"

“It might be purchased by someone else for you. It's food. Can youcome down now to collect it? I have other deliveries to make."

Camille didn't want to keep the person waiting, so she agreed, "I'llcome now."

After hanging up, she immediately sent a short message to Ayan, "Didyou buy something for me?"

Ayan didn't reply, and Camille had already left and was taking theelevator downstairs.

Since it was just a quick errand to pick something up, she was stillwearing her casual clothes and had slippers on her feet.

Following the directions given by the guy on the phone, Camille walkedout of Maple Leaves Mansion's gate, but there was no one outside.She was a bit puzzled and looked around, furrowing her eyebrowsslightly. She dialed the number back directly.

The call was answered quickly, and Camille asked directly, “Hello,where are you? I didn't see you at the gate!"

The person on the other end said, "Miss Armstrong, could you comecloser to the road? I have too many things in my vehicle and can't rideit up. Sorry for the trouble.”

Camille didn't think much of it since that's what the person said. Sheagreed and cooperated, "Okay, I'll come closer.”

Camille strolled toward the roadside, but there were no deliverymenwith too many items on either side.

She looked around, feeling somewhat helpless, and sighed whilepursing her lips. She picked up her phone and sent another message toAyan, "What are you doing? Did you buy something for me? Are youtrying to surprise me? If you don't come out soon, I'm going back.Standing on the roadside is tiring!"

After sending the message, Camille looked around again but still didn'tsee anyone.

She shifted her gaze forward when a black business car parked by theroadside suddenly opened its door. Two men got out of the car, theireyes fixed on her. The look in their eyes made Camille extremelyuncomfortable, so she instinctively furrowed her eyebrows andintended to turn around and walk back to Maple Leaves Mansion'sgate.

The two men noticed her intentions. They exchanged a glance andtheir faces instantly revealed a sense of coldness. They then lifted theirfeet and headed towards Camille.

When in danger, a person may have a strong sense of foreboding.Even in this moment, Camille felt it. From their gaze, she sensed theirill intentions. She immediately turned around and ran towards MapleLeaves Mansion, but due to the disparity between men and women, aswell as her wearing slippers, a few steps were not enough to shake offthe two men.
