Chapter 889: Impulse

Kian nodded and immediately prepared to investigate, but as he wasabout to take a step, Ayan's voice rang out again, "If you can't replaceanything, let it go. If Cora really did contact Preston, judging fromQuintus’ actions, Cora probably hasn't said anything to Preston yet.She might be waiting for him to return from Flento before speaking up.""So, you mean Cora won't say anything that could harm you, at leastfor now?"

“For now, that seems to be the case. If she had something to say, shewould have said it already. Preston wouldn't wait until now to contactCamille unless he wanted us to have a serious conflict that can't beresolved. That's what he's been hoping for, and it's unlikely he'd remaindoing nothing after knowing the truth.”

Ayan squinted slightly, his expression calm and icy. There was a thicklayer of indifference on his face, and he knew Preston's character verywell, especially how Preston treated him. He knew it inside out.

After saying that, Ayan instructed Kian in a cold tone, "Preston iscurrently in Flento , and Zoie went there too. Let him stay in Flento for awhile. Use this time to replace Cora. If she's not restricted, she can't hidefor too long."

No matter where Preston arranged for her to live, as long as she wasstill in Hance, she couldn't hide for long.

Ayan had confidence and assurance in this.

Kian quickly understood Ayan's intention. After leaving the office, heimmediately contacted the people in Flento and instructed them to passon the news about Zoie going there to Molly. If Molly didn't plan to takeany action, then spread some rumors in Flento. Only then would theWalker family not turn a blind eye to the situation.

The Walker family now wished for Molly and Preston not to get married.If they found any reason, they would surely make a big fuss about it.And following Ayan's instructions, Kian used several channels tocontact a top-notch lawyer in the Flento City circle. This lawyer waswell-known and had his own law firm. He served as a legal adviser formany major corporations and was considered a prominent figure in thelegal field. He had several successful students who were highlyregarded in Flento.

The lawyer "happened" to meet Luke at a dinner party through Kian'sarrangement and, with the help of others, brought up the currentsituation of the Walker family. Luke didn't want to discuss familymatters, but after considering it carefully, he still wanted to ensure thatthere were no problems with the contracts from the Walker Group'slegal team.

Luke immediately showed the contract to the lawyer, who found that thecontract itself had no problems, but there were a few places wherequestions could be raised or problems could be pointed out. The lawyerpointed out the issues directly and asked Luke, "If you don't mind measking, Mr. Walker, did your own legal team at Walker Group draft thiscontract?"

Luke didn't understand the lawyer's intention, so his face stiffened, andhe hesitated before asking if there was anything wrong with thecontract.

The lawyer only smiled faintly and then said casually, "It's not exactlywrong, but if Mr. Walker's own legal team drafted it, they shouldn't havemade such basic mistakes. After all, it's hard to notice these minorissues, but when you really go to court, it's difficult to defend them."After pointing it out, the lawyer didn't say much more about it, but Lukehad already understood the implications.

Luke expressed his gratitude to the prominent lawyer repeatedly, andthe next day after returning from the dinner gathering, he began todiscreetly staff his own legal team.

However, all of these actions were carried out silently, without a hint ofinformation reaching Preston.

Because of the lawyer's words, Luke's wariness towards Prestondeepened even further.

Luke personally called for Molly to come to Walker Group becausesome things couldn't be said at home. But in company, around peoplewho were his, it would be safer and more reliable.

When Molly arrived at Luke's office, she looked puzzled and asked,"Dad, what's the matter? Why did you ask me to come?"

Molly was having a hard time with her pregnancy and didn't eat orsleep well recently, making her look quite haggard. As her father, Lukenaturally saw it and felt for her.

Luke gestured to the sofa, indicating for her to sit down. He theninstructed his secretary to prepare some fruit. After the office was leftwith just the two of them, Luke looked at Molly and asked, "Molly, areyou still determined to marry him?"

Molly's eyelids trembled slightly as she looked at her father. Lukeseemed to have aged a lot because of her decision to marry Preston,and Naomi was also caught in the middle of the father-daughterconflict.

But she couldn't waver.

She nodded, "Yes, I'm going to marry him. It's what he promised me.Dad, I'm already an adult, and I'm ready to take responsibility for mychoices.”

Molly seemed to carry a heavy burden in her heart. Her expression wasno longer solely driven by her desire to marry Preston. It seemed to bemixed with something that even Luke couldn't understand.

Luke asked, "Molly, are you really happy with him?"

Molly smiled lightly, “We're good, Dad. You can rest assured."

Luke didn't ask further and just said, "You've thought it through. If youmarry him, you won't inherit anything from our family.”

Molly seemed indifferent and replied, "Dad, I don't want it. You don'tneed to consider what I thonk about it. He's the baby's father, and heshould take responsibility.”

Molly had always been spoiled as the only girl in the Walker family, andsince she was a child, she had been pampered. That's why Luke wassomewhat incredulous when he heard her say such things.

But Molly didn't want to give him any more chances to ask, so shequickly urged Luke to bring all the documents and agreements thatwould prevent her from inheriting anything.

The father and daughter acted quickly, and Molly barely looked at thedocuments before signing and stamping them. After signing her name,Molly casually took a photo and didn't forget to say to Luke, "Dad, nomatter what happens, as long as I have no regrets, you mustn't waver.Otherwise, my signature today would be in vain, and all your effortswould be wasted. You'd be slapping yourself in the face."

Molly's words were accompanied by a smile at the corner of her mouth,leaving Luke somewhat helpless. There were things he couldn't directlyexpress. Molly's response made him feel a bit puzzled.

Indeed, his child had grown up and developed her own thoughts. Asparents, there were some things they couldn't fully grasp.

Molly sent the photo directly to Preston after taking it. As soon as sheleft Walker Group, Preston's phone began to ring.

Molly didn't immediately answer the call. Instead, she just stared at thescreen displaying the name "Preston," which caught her off guard.Right before the call was about to end automatically, Molly finallyanswered.

Her voice was low and calm as she spoke, "Brother, what's wrong?"She had called him "brother" for many years, and Molly had grownused to it. So, she usually referred to Preston that way.

Preston's voice didn't reveal any emotions, but he asked, "Are you stillat the office?"

"Yes, just got out. I signed the papers with Dad. You saw the picture Isent you, right?"

Preston hesitated briefly, his voice a little tense as he asked, "Didn'tyou say you needed time to think through it? Why did you suddenlymake a decision? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Preston's words seemed to show a hint of agitation towards the end.Molly didn't answer immediately but asked calmly, "Are you angry?"Preston quickly denied, "No, I'm not angry. I just think you might be tooimpulsive with this decision.”

"Impulsive?" Molly's expression remained calm, her eyes devoid ofemotions and ripples. She seemed to be in a daze, and she said, "Dadasked me to consider it, and I just felt that I've thought it through.Compared to everything related to the Walker family, I'd rather be withyou. Isn't that what you want too?"

Molly's face showed a hint of indifference as she waited for Preston'sresponse. Her face displayed a gentle detachment, and her eyesseemed empty, revealing nothing about what she was thinking.Preston didn't answer immediately, and the atmosphere became quietfor several seconds. Molly asked, "Brother, why aren't you sayinganything? Did I do something wrong?"
