Chapter 890: Insider Information

Molly's tone sounded a bit aggrieved as she stood outside the gates ofthe Walker Group. Due to her pregnancy symptoms, she had becomenoticeably thinner, and today, her attire was somewhat thin too. Thegentle breeze caused her clothes to flutter, as if threatening to carry heraway.

Preston couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

After a brief silence that lasted almost half a minute, he spoke in a low,hoarse voice, "I didn't say you were wrong. I just don't want you tomake a hasty decision. I'm afraid you'll regret it. Dad is only angry rightnow, that's why he made such a demand. I believe I can handleeverything. Dad just thinks I might not take good care of you. After I talkto him, he'll accept us. I think you should leave everything to me. Youdon't need to make any decisions.”

Every word he said was in consideration of Molly, for her sake, and hedidn't really want her to sign the agreement relinquishing herinheritance from the Walker family.

He claimed it was to prevent things from becoming too strainedbetween Molly and Luke. After all, they were father and daughter, andthere shouldn't be anything they couldn't talk about.

They were still connected, like bones and tendons.

After Preston finished speaking, Molly remained silent for a long time.Her fair face showed no change in expression, and no one knew whatshe was thinking.

The silence seemed to stretch so long that they could hear each other'sbreaths.

After a while, Molly finally spoke in a soft voice, "I didn't think thatmuch. I just don't want to put you in a difficult position with my father,and I definitely don't want this situation to embarrass you. I believe withyour current abilities, you can make my father accept us. When thattime comes, this agreement will be just a formality, it won't affect us, willit?"

Preston had no further arguments. If he continued, Molly wouldprobably ask if he wouldn't marry her without the inheritance from theWalker family.

Preston decided not to say anything more, realizing that if hecontinued, Molly might ask the very question he was trying to avoid:Does he not plan to marry her now that she has lost the inheritancerights of the Walker family?

So Preston didn't continue and just told Molly, "Since you've alreadysigned, there's nothing more to be done. What do you plan to do next?""Shouldn't we get married as soon as possible? The baby has beenover three months now, and I want to get married as soon as possible.In a few more months, the baby will be born."

Molly's thoughts were straightforward.

Preston didn't say yes or no, just said, "You go back home. I'm dealingwith something outside now, and I'll come see you later."

"Brother, I plan to move out of the Walker family and move in with you.""Now?"

"Yes, I've already agreed to give up inheriting anything. It wouldn't beright for me to continue living there. The house I bought before hasn'tbeen renovated yet, so I can only move in with you. Do you mind?""How could 1?" Preston replied in a calm tone, "Wait until I finish mybusiness, and then I'll replace you."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Molly responded gently, full of anticipation forthe upcoming open cohabitation life.

After finishing the call with Molly, Preston didn't have the slightestanticipation. His face was as cold as ice, and the chill in his eyes wasevident. He stood by the window, unresponsive for a long time, until apair of hands encircled his waist, and he finally glanced down at the fairhand.

The woman behind him asked in a low voice, "Preston, what's wrong?Is something bothering you?"

Preston didn't speak immediately, but his face relaxed a little.

The woman behind him asked again, "Preston, did I cause youtrouble?"

Preston's facial expression gradually softened and his voice wasgentle, "No, don't overthink it."

"Really?"

"Of course.”

Preston turned around and looked at the woman behind him.

He said in a gentle tone, "Later, I'll send you to a nearby hotel, okay?"Zoie's expression immediately froze, but she still maintained a faintsmile and asked, "Why? Did I disturb you by staying here?"

Zoie had arrived in Flento yesterday afternoon, and Preston personallywent to pick her up. She was very happy about it. Later, Preston tookher directly to his place, and besides him, there was no trace of anyother woman here.

However, Zoie didn't feel any joy because she knew Preston's thoughtsvery well.

At this moment, Preston suggested that she move to a hotel, whichnaturally surprised and shocked Zoie.

The two of them stared at each other, and Preston didn't feel the needto explain further. He simply said, "Go freshen up first, then pack yourthings. We'll have breakfast and then go to the hotel, okay?"

He didn't ask for Zoie's opinion, nor did he have any intention ofdiscussing it. He had simply decided, and Zoie should follow suit.Zoie's eyes trembled slightly, and her face showed no emotion. Shelowered her head and softly nodded, her voice slightly hoarse, "Okay, Iunderstand.”

Preston didn't say another word and, after letting go of her hand, wentstraight back to the bedroom.

Zoie stood in place, her lips lightly pressed together in silence. Thenshe took out her phone from her pocket, sent a message, andimmediately deleted the message record. She put her phone away andwent to freshen up.

Zoie didn't show any dissatisfaction or throw a tantrum becausePreston sent her to a hotel. She was very obedient, and whateverPreston arranged, she would do. Who wouldn't love such an obedientand well-behaved woman?

Compared to Zoie's obedient and gentle nature, Molly was much moredifficult to handle.

Molly moved in without Preston's approval. Her reasoning was simple:since they were getting married, it didn't matter whether they livedtogether now or later.

Molly's move put a lot of pressure on Preston, and the pressure was soforceful that even his personal space seemed to be slipping away.However, everything had just begun, and no one knew how longPreston could endure it.

The situation in Flento was under Ayan's control. With Preston nowcaught between a rock and a hard place, he couldn't spare any extratime for Cora.

As a result, Cora had no chance to see Preston and could only hide,unable to see the light of day.

Ayan didn't want to waste unnecessary time searching for Cora, as hefelt it was better to close off all her options and let her show herself.How could he close off Cora's options?

When Kian asked this question, his eyes were fixed on Ayan, waitingfor him to speak.

Ayan narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing calmly at Kian before he said,"Who is she relying on now?"

"Preston," Kian replied with a determined look. "Right now, Preston isvery busy, but he hasn't completely cut off contact with Cora. Unless...""Unless what?" Ayan asked indifferently.

Kian said, "Unless something happens to Preston?"

"We both know very well who is behind Louise's death, and so doesPreston. Otherwise, how could he have brought Sean out as ascapegoat? Sean has been with Preston for so long. Do you think hecan bear this?"

"So, you mean to have Sean reveal the truth?"

“That alone wouldn't be enough to fully implicate Preston. I don't intendfor him to be fully implicated either, after all, he has countless excusesand reasons to absolve himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared todo this. What I want is just for Cora to know that Preston can't give herthe support she needs, and her only choice is to keep her mouth shutand cooperate with me."

Ayan's face remained cold, his eyes showing a hint of indifference. Hedidn't want to go too far with this, otherwise, Cora wouldn't have hadthe opportunity she had today.

Kian asked in a low voice, "So, Mr. Simpson, should I go contact Seannow?"

"Yes, the sooner, the better. This way, Cora will also know that I knowshe has been in contact with Preston."

After Ayan's calm response, Kian immediately went to work.

That afternoon, the police released the news that Sean had beenfound, along with the transcript of his statement and his timeline for theday of Louise's incident, which proved he had an alibi.

The police made everything provided by Sean public, and the mediaquestioned, "Is there more to the victim's death than meets the eye?"
