Chapter 891: Editing

The police didn't give a positive response for the time being.

Due to the sufficient evidence, the police couldn't detain Sean, but theystill questioned him, saying, "If it's not related to you, why have youbeen hiding and evading for so long? You're obstructing officialbusiness!"

Sean explained, "I was afraid that someone would use me as ascapegoat.”

He had said the same thing to the media outside the police station, andthe reporters questioned him, "Mr. Clarke, can you tell us who youbelieve wants to harm you?"

Sean remained silent and only said, "The person who wants to harmme knows it well. Some things I don't want to say too explicitly. Thepolice will investigate and ensure my safety.”

His words sparked many speculations and inquiries from the media,and the interest in the case increased. Eventually, Sean left with thepolice escort.

The journalists immediately edited and posted the live broadcast as avideo on their official websites, which quickly garnered attention andcomments.

Although the incident had occurred a long time ago, the recentdevelopment of Sean's situation, his statement to the police, and thepolice investigation all proved his innocence, leading to questions aboutthe real murderer.

Preston's secretary, Quintus, was one of the first to see this news. Hewasted no time and immediately sent the video directly to Preston.Worried that Preston might miss it, he also called him personally.When Preston answered the phone, Quintus said urgently, "Mr. Walker,please take a look at the video I sent you. Sean has been caught bythe police.”

Preston immediately asked, "When did this happen?"

“I'm not sure. I saw it in the media's video. There was just a livebroadcast at the police station, but it was unexpected, so there waslittle advance notice, and the live stream didn't get much attention.However, the video and its content released by the media have causedquite a stir. They even bought trending spots, after all, this is a matter ofmurder,” Quintus explained.

Preston had instructed Quintus to inform him of any news about Seanas soon as possible before leaving Hance.

Not understanding Preston's true thoughts, Quintus unintentionallyblurted out what he was thinking.

He continued, "Sean's words to the police and the media indicate thatthere is more to the incident than meets the eye. Mr. Walker, did Seando something illegal without your knowledge? Or was he manipulatedby someone? Could it be related to Austin? After all, Austin is also indeep trouble now. He might have pinned everything on Sean.”

Quintus kept speculating, completely unaware of Preston's silentreaction.

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere became quiet for amoment.

Quintus quickly apologized, "Mr. Walker, I'm sorry. I spoke too much.”Preston didn't respond to the apology. He simply asked in a detachedtone, "Where is Sean now?"

“The police are protecting him. He requested it himself. I just checked.Sean is staying in a hotel not far from the police station,” Quintusinformed Preston.

Preston didn't reply immediately, and there was a brief silence forseveral seconds before he said to Quintus, "Keep an eye on thesituation. Let me know if there's any other news."

Quintus nodded, and he asked, "Mr. Walker, when are you planning toreturn? Mr. and Mrs. Bell's assistants have notified us in the group chatthat we can start work again in the next two days. Mr. and Mrs. Bellhave returned from abroad, but Simpson Group hasn't made anymoves and hasn't contacted us about resuming work."

"Don't worry about that. Wait until Simpson Group arranges it.Tomorrow, go to the museum and get the template of the designdrawings from Jenson. Tell him it's my request.”

Preston gave his indifferent instructions and ended the call directly.Preston's time was now split between Molly, Zoie, and occasionalcontact with Eileen, making him very busy.

The next day, Quintus followed Preston's instructions and went to themuseum to replace Jenson for the design drawing, but Jenson refused.Jenson said, "Quintus, Mr. Baxter is no longer in Hance City. Therefore,I am in charge of this project. I don't agree to hand the drawings tosomeone else without his permission.”

Quintus retorted, "Mr. Evans, Mr. Baxter is not just anyone else. He isalso responsible for this project. Even though he's not in Hance Cityright now, it doesn't mean he's no longer involved in the project. He hasthe right to review the drawings. I hope you won't make things difficultfor me."

Jenson continued to stand firm, saying, "If Mr. Baxter needs thedrawings, he can call me personally. Otherwise, I don't feel comfortablegiving them to anyone else."

Quintus's expression immediately turned sour. He felt that Jenson didn'trespect him, even though he was representing Preston.

With a cold face, Quintus stared at Jenson, but the latter showed nointention of giving in.

Finally, Quintus left Jenson's office angrily and ran into Camille, whowas coming over with the drawings for Jenson.

When Camille saw Quintus, she simply raised her head and said, "MissArmstrong.”

Camille's expression was indifferent, showing no additional emotions.Since Quintus had expressed his desire to leave the company withoutpermission and had directly gone to work for Preston, abandoning thecompany's ongoing projects, the company suffered significant losses.The company wasn't large and was still growing, so such a loss putimmense pressure on it.

But Camille had never sought Quintus out or held him responsible. Shedidn't want to make things too tense or difficult.

This was their first meeting since Quintus left the company. Heremained silent and didn't dare to meet Camille's eyes, especially whenshe didn't respond to him at all, as if she hadn't noticed him.

The atmosphere gradually quieted down, and Camille no longercontinued to stare at him. Only a faint trace of her gaze lingered on himas she spoke in a calm voice, "Quintus, didn't you go to Flento with Mr.Walker?"

Upon hearing the name "Mr. Walker," Quintus immediately remindedher in a low voice, "Miss Armstrong, Mr. Baxter prefers not to mentionthat name in public. I hope you can understand. Mr. Baxter went toFlento City for personal matters, and I stayed in Hance to handle themuseum project, Mr. and Mrs. Bell's project, and other matters onbehalf of Mr. Baxter."

Quintus’ words made Camille furrow her brows slightly, and a faintsmile appeared on her face. She said calmly, "You seem veryprotective of him."

Quintus was taken aback for a moment and instinctively wanted toexplain, but Camille didn't give him the chance. Instead, she brushedpast him and walked towards Jenson's office.

Quintus stood still, silent for nearly half a minute. Then he hurriedlycalled Preston and told him what had just happened.

When Camille came out of Jenson's office, Preston called.

His reason for calling was to apologize for Quintus's words.

Preston said, "You don't have to take Quintus’ words to heart. You cancall me whatever you want, without worrying about others’ opinions."Camille replied, “It doesn't matter. It's not something important, sothere's no need to make a big deal out of it."

"Cami, you may not care, but I want you to understand that, as long asit's you, whatever you do, for me, it's always right,” Preston's tone wasfirm, making it clear to Camille that no matter what she does or howshe behaves, he believes it to be correct.

However, Camille remained indifferent, maintaining a faint smile as shesaid, "Preston, you don't have to be so intense about this. It's not asignificant matter, and I haven't taken Quintus’ words to heart. After all,he hasn't stirred up any dissatisfaction or anger in me, so there's noneed for you to apologize on his behalf. I don't mind."
