Chapter 906: Comeback

Much of the night was spent on it.

Afterwards, Ayan cleaned up briefly and fell asleep while holding her.But Camille, on the other hand, remained unusually awake. She staredat the ceiling, listening to the steady rhythm of Ayan's breathing, hishand lightly draped over her.

Since deciding to remarry Ayan, they were truly living together now. Hehad been patient, waiting for her consent before crossing anyboundaries. But they were no longer young lovers, and there was noneed for restraint in such matters.

After all, adults had their needs. Although their remarriage was slow,Sienna had told Camille that it was perfectly okay to enjoy themselveswithout any pressure or embarrassment. Their pleasure was whatmattered most.

Given what happened just now, Camille found Sienna’s advicesurprisingly apt.

She raised her hand and gently patted her slightly flushed cheek, takinga deep breath before finally closing her eyes to sleep.

A dreamless night passed.

The next day was a fresh start.

Ayan had Kian notify all the partners in Mr. and Mrs. Bell's project togather in the Simpson Group meeting room the following morning.Kian contacted everyone, and finally, it was Preston's turn.

Kian dialed the contact number Preston had left for this project, andPreston picked up rather quickly.

Kian explained the purpose of his call and then inquired softly, “Can Mr.Walker attend the meeting tomorrow morning?”

“I have other matters to attend to, and I won't be able to make it to themorning meeting. I'll personally inform Mr. Bell about this. Kian, pleaseconvey the message to Mr. Simpson." Preston's response was cool andcollected.

Kian expressed his understanding and added, "If Mr. Walker won't beable to attend, should we arrange for Quintus to come instead?Tomorrow's meeting might involve signing some completionagreements and such.”

"If that's necessary, I can join the meeting via video call. And for thesigning, electronic versions will suffice.” Preston deflected the topic ofQuintus, not affirming or denying, simply avoiding the issue altogether.He said it like that, so Kian naturally didn't ask any further.

After contacting Preston, Kian immediately informed Ayan of Preston'sintentions. Ayan didn't say much, only advising Kian to truthfully informMr. and Mrs. Bell about the situation. Whether Preston wanted toparticipate in the meeting via video or through other means didn'tmatter.

Ayan wasn't concerned about how Preston would arrange for thismeeting. He was more focused on Quintus's situation. He asked, "Isthere still no news about Quintus?"

"Not yet. He checked into a hotel last night and hasn't come out since.”"Anyone of our people in that hotel?"

"Yes, everything is fine. I've looked into it, and there are no issues.""Continue to keep an eye on him. Will Preston really let Quintuscontinue idling away like this?"

Ayan smirked, and the answer was obviously no.

With everything going on, would he really allow his secretary to indulgein leisure activities all day long?

Ayan instructed Kian to closely watch Quintus and avoid anycomplacency. After all, the one in a rush should be Preston.

For Preston, caught between a rock and a hard place, he naturallywanted to quickly obtain something about Ayan as leverage. Otherwise,how could he make a comeback without something up his sleeve?Ayan's speculation turned out to be correct.

Quintus had spent a day and a night without any significant activity.However, he couldn't continue remaining inactive.

Close to lunchtime, Quintus checked out of the hotel and left.

He then took a taxi to the station and boarded a bus to a small townnear Hance City.

Throughout this journey, Ayan's people changed vehicles in batches totail him until they saw him enter a relatively remote apartment building.Less than half an hour later, Quintus reappeared, but he wasn't alonethis time; he was accompanied by a woman wearing a cap.

This woman was Cora.

The people watching him snapped a photo and sent it to Kian. At firstglance, Kian confirmed it was Cora and immediately showed the phototo Ayan.

Kian said, "Cora has shown up. She has been staying in Quintus'shometown. It seems she now feels the timing is right to take Cora andconfront Preston!"

Ayan didn't plan to intervene at this point; doing so would only makeCora feel more defiant.

Ayan sent Kian to observe the situation in person, to see how Quintusintended to bring Cora to Flento “unnoticed.”

Could they possibly grow wings and fly away?

While Quintus might not have wings, Preston's influence had alreadyreached Hance.

Although he was in Flento, his eyes were constantly fixed on everythingin Hance, especially matters related to Ayan.

In fact, when Quintus went to pick up Cora, Preston purposely createdtrouble for Ayan by distracting him. He made a direct call to Camille todivert Ayan's attention away from Quintus.

Each time he called, Camille was hesitant to answer. She had grownuncomfortable seeing his calls, feeling uneasy at the thought ofinteracting with him.

Because she no longer knew how to get along with him.

Their relationship had become one of awkward silence, turning whatshould have been pleasant interactions into uncomfortable encounters.Camille hesitated for a while before finally answering.

Preston didn't seem to mind the delay and immediately began, "Cami,there's something I'm not sure if I should tell you."

Preston's tone was unsure, as if he wanted to share something butdidn't know how.

Camille remained emotionally detached, her expression consistentlycalm. She responded with a lack of interest, “If you think you shouldn'ttell me, then don't.”

"Cami." Preston's voice grew tense. He continued, "This matterinvolves you and Ayan. I don't know if he's talked to you about it. If hehas, then maybe there's no issue. But if he's kept something from you,deliberately hiding it, then that's not right.”

Preston's tone was protective of Camille. He was trying to conveysomething, to let Camille know that Ayan was hiding something fromher, and it was serious.

Camille's reaction, however, was far from what Preston had anticipated.Her response was nonchalant, and she countered, "Preston, if you'reso sure he's hiding something from me, then why bother calling me totell me?"

Her voice carried a hint of a smile, a playful tone laced with mildmockery.

Of course, Preston wouldn't admit to ulterior motives. He continued toframe his words in Camille's best interest, saying, "Cami, I just don'twant him to deceive you. He's playing with your emotions, exploitingyour feelings for him. He's being selfish.”

“Is that so?" Camille asked in a calm tone, "So, what exactly is thismatter?"

"Haven't you noticed anything? He went to the airport to pick someoneup, and you didn't feel anything? His associates didn't mention anythingto you?" Preston's words grew angrier with each sentence. He felt thatAyan had hurt Camille, but he didn't realize that he himself was deeplyinvolved in causing that harm.

Camille continued to display minimal response to Preston'squestioning. "We each have our own things we don't share with eachother. Isn't that normal?"

"Cami, can you stop being so submissive? Ayan doesn't really careabout you. He hid Cora from you, and do you really believe he's doing itto punish her? I'm not trying to badmouth him, I just don't want you tobe repeatedly deceived. Don't you know Eileen has returned to Hance?Ayan arranged her accommodation, and not only that, he personallywent to the airport to pick her up. Cami, are you really okay with this?"
