Chapter 892: Dealing with It

Camille's words grew more distant and indifferent.

She was completely different from before, when she was willing todiscuss and share anything with him. Preston attributed all thesechanges to Ayan, believing that Ayan forbade Camille from talking tohim or having a close relationship with him, which led to Camille'scurrent behavior.

But Preston never looked inward and always blamed others foreverything, replaceing some consolation in doing so.

This allowed him to openly direct his anger towards Ayan and givehimself a reason to confront him.

Due to Camille's coldness, the phone call didn't last long and endedabruptly.

Camille didn't think much of it or take it to heart. After all, it wasn'tsomething important to her.

However, Preston saw it differently.

Preston was on the phone with Camille while being with Eileen. Shesought him out to discuss Austin's situation, as she didn't know what todo and needed his advice.

Preston squinted at Eileen, his eyes filled with a calculatingruthlessness. He spoke slowly to Eileen, "Don't you know what to donext? Let me tell you what to do. Follow my instructions, and whetherwe're dealing with the Simpson family or Ayan, you'll live a luxurious lifeforever. Do you want to listen to me?"

Eileen looked at him with a hint of fear in her eyes. She askedtentatively, "Do you have a good plan? Should I wait for Austin or go tohis family?"

Preston smirked, "Of course not. Now, both Austin and his family arenothing. We should aim for the top."

Preston's words were followed by a deeper, more cunning smile.Eileen was genuinely shocked and stared at him. Some concern andunease arose in her heart.

But Preston didn't reveal the specific plan. He only told Eileen to trusthis arrangements entirely.

Meanwhile, the situation with Sean continued to escalate. Following theclues he provided, the police launched a new investigation. Louise'sfamily kept pleading with the police to seek justice for Louise.

Sean stayed in the hotel arranged by the police, and the next morning,after the reporters dispersed, Kian was guided by the police to enterSean's room.

Sean had been living in fear and immediately got up to greet Kian. Aworried expression appeared on his face as he said, "Kian, I showedup in front of cameras today. Will he try something else against me?"Kian patted him on the shoulder gently and said in a low voice, "Don'tworry, you have 24-hour police protection now. What are you afraid of?"Sean was still very anxious, his face showing panic and worry. He said,"Kian, he must know by now. Now, Mr. Simpson is the only one I canrely on. Mr. Simpson can't give up on me!"

Kian made a hushing gesture and said softly, "Sean, be careful withyour words. Loose lips may bring trouble to those who are helping you.Keep a tight rein on your tongue, you know what I mean?"

Sean's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he nodded slightly.

Kian handed a piece of paper from his folder to Sean and saidnonchalantly, “Take a look. Later, we'll record a video and post it onyour personal social account, and then the police can withdraw. Afterall, there are more important things they need to attend to. We can'tkeep wasting their resources, right?"

"Kian, this won't work. If the police withdraw, I'll be in danger for sure.You have to take responsibility for me, Kian!" Sean looked panickedand scared. He was already worried with the police around him, but ifthey were to leave, his anxiety would only increase. They must notwithdraw.

"Sean, don't worry. Take a look at the content first," Kian said in a lowvoice.

He handed Sean the paper, and it seemed to contain information aboutthat Sean had guessed out the person trying to harm him and usinghim as a scapegoat and that if something happened to Sean, he wouldexpose all the evidence and clues he had.

After reading the paper, Sean asked in a low voice, "Kian, won't I becharged with not cooperating with the police if I say this?"

Kian shook his head, "Of course not. You are only insinuating; you don'tactually know."

"But won't he think that way? You don't know him. Whenever anythingthreatens his interests, he will do anything to take that person down. Ifthat happens, I will never have a good day in Hance again. My fatherwill suffer in prison. What will I do then?"

Sean grew more worried, and his face became pale and helpless. Hewas full of fear and anxiety, feeling like he had no other choice at thispoint.

Kian furrowed his brows slightly and looked directly at Sean. He said,"Sean, don't be too anxious. Things that haven't happened yet are justbaseless fears. If he really does something like that, we won't sit asideand just watch it. Besides, the police are here to protect you. What areyou afraid of? Besides, your father is his uncle. If he really doesanything to your father, don't you think your father has leverage overhim? So don't worry too much.”

After Kian's words, Sean's expression gradually eased. He opened hismouth and asked softly, "Kian, can I see my dad for a moment?"

Kian replied, "I'm not sure. I need to contact the prison and follow theprocedures. Plus, getting special permission takes time. What do youthink?"

Kian's words clearly implied that there are no free lunches in this world.Any benefit comes with a price.

Sean understood the implications and remained briefly silent. Then henodded and said, "Kian, let's record the video now."

Kian smiled lightly and said, "Sure. To ensure the video is natural andcomplete, you need to relax and not show any nervousness orconcerns. This is not only to protect your interests but also to protectyourself. Every word you say represents your attitude. If you appearnervous or unnatural, people might think you are being threatened. Inthat case, it won't be good for you or anyone else. No one will dare tospeak up for you, and those who do will face trouble. You agree, right?"Kian maintained steady eye contact with Sean as he spoke, his wordscarrying genuine concern and advice, without any hint of threat orwarning. When he finished, he handed the paper to Sean.

"Sean, take a look at it first. Have a glass of water and adjust yourmood and emotions. I'll go outside and make a call to ensureeverything goes smoothly here," Kian said.

Throughout the conversation, Kian never mentioned Ayan, and hemade sure to leave no room for blame to be placed on him. No onecould accuse Ayan of anything since he had nothing to do with thesituation. Even if Sean tried to blame him, it would only point back toKian making decisions without Ayan's involvement.

Kian left the room, and Sean sat on the couch, looking pale and weak,filled with worries and speculations. But at this point, it seemed he hadno choice left.

He had reached this point because Preston abandoned him, not theother way around.

Sean pressed his lips together tightly, took a deep breath, and thenheld the paper in his hand, memorizing every word written on it.Recording the video didn't take long. Sean managed to get it right inone take because it had to appear natural. Being too smooth orrehearsed might raise suspicions that he had prepared in advance.After finishing the video, Kian sent it to Ayan right away. He asked, "Mr.Simpson, should we release the video to the media now or wait untilPreston reacts?"
