Chapter 937: In the Spotlight

Preston kept pondering over it, but the more he thought, the less heunderstood. He was too excited and nervous. With such an incidentoccurring, it was difficult for him to calm down, let alone control himself.He pondered for a long time and immediately called Molly.

However, Molly wasn't the one who answered the phone; it was astranger. "Hello, is there something you need?"

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Preston furrowed his brows tightly. Heassumed it was a servant from the Walker family or one of Molly'sfriends. He asked, "Where's Molly?"

"Molly? Who's that?"

The other party clearly answered with a question.

Preston's mood was already bad, and at this moment, he wasbecoming agitated. "Stop pretending. Where's the owner of this phone?Who are you?"

"Why are you being aggressive? I found this phone. How would I knowwhere the owner is? If you're the owner, come to the airport to pick itup.” The other person was equally exasperated and muttered, "You replacea lost phone and still act so hostile. What's the deal? Do you want it ornot? If not, I'll just leave it at the airport.”

Upon hearing this, Preston's expression slightly eased. Before theperson could hang up, he quickly asked, "You found the phone at theairport? When did you replace it?"

"About an hour or two ago, I don't remember the exact time. So, areyou coming to get this phone?"

Preston remained silent, and after several more confirmations, theother party still received no response. Ultimately, the call wasdisconnected.

At this moment, Preston suddenly understood-perhaps this had allbeen premeditated?

His face couldn't be described as anything but unsightly, and his eyeswere filled with a cold and ruthless intent. A fiery anger seemed on theverge of eruption within his chest.

Very well, very well.

These two words echoed in his mind.

His emotions were completely overtaken by his lack of composure atthe moment. He couldn't calm down, and the situation was escalating.He hadn't yet formulated a sufficient plan to resolve the matter. Justthen, another voice appeared online.

It was a video recording made by Molly herself.

She addressed everyone, saying, “I'm currently on a plane headingoverseas. I've seen what's circulating online. In fact, I've known for along time that he had someone else by his side. But I don't blame MissReid. It's not your fault; he deceived you and me. However, I can'tforgive you either. After all, it has caused me harm."

Molly recounted the years she had spent with Preston, from thebeginning to the present, highlighting her foolishness that had led tothis deceitful relationship. She emphasized that she was the one whohad invested emotions from start to finish. Preston hadn't shown anyaffection toward her.

She had realized her mistake and didn't want to continue. She wantedto cut her losses.

Apart from discussing her deception by Preston, Molly also mentionedPreston's name change and what he did before changing his name.She even spoke about his actions toward Louise via as a partner of themuseum project. Although she didn't present solid evidence tyingPreston to these actions, being close to him and coupled with Sean'searlier allegations, the suspicion around him grew heavier.

When Preston saw Molly's video, his entire being was filled with an icychill. With a twisted expression, he roared, "Molly, you despicablewoman! Deceptive schemer, right?"

Preston had lost control of his emotions, like a wild beast gone mad.

If Molly were before him at this moment, he probably would'vestrangled her.

Currently, he couldn't replace Molly or Luke and Naomi. Even though heknew Molly had prepared in advance, he hadn't anticipated this level ofpreparation.

So, everything she had shown him was all a ruse, wasn't it?

The video spread quickly, so much so that the police in Hance Cityimmediately contacted the police in Flento to initiate an investigationinto Preston.

This seemed to be within Preston's expectations, as he had left hisapartment before the police arrived.

The police tried to contact him by phone, but they couldn't get through.This solidified their suspicions about Preston's guilt. Otherwise, whywould he be evading them?

In a short time, the police's suspicions about Preston grew stronger.After multiple consultations, they decided to arrest him. CatchingPreston was reasonable since replaceing him was the only way to uncoverwhat had truly transpired.

Moreover, Preston's involvement in Simpson Group's previous projectswas undeniable, considering the irrefutable evidence. He had onlyevaded capture by changing his name; otherwise, he would have beenarrested long ago.

So, the police's intention to apprehend Preston was justifiable. Thepolice released a message through the media, saying, "If anyone hasany information or leads about Preston, as long as it is confirmed to begenuine and effective after our verification, we will provide rewards."Offering rewards for information incentivized people to come forward.Some passionate youths took it upon themselves to participate in thepursuit and began a thorough search of the places Preston hadfrequented before.

This carpet search for any leads pushed Preston into a corner,depriving him of even a moment to catch his breath. Now, he washiding in an apartment of less than 90 square meters, where hisassistant informed him of the situation outside.

The assistant said, "Mr. Walker, there are people searching for youeverywhere outside. I'm afraid they'll start going door-to-door soon.This can't go on forever. You must leave Flento as soon as possible;otherwise, they'll replace you."

Preston sat in a chair, smoking a cigarette. The smoke veiled his face,but in just a day, he had aged significantly. He remained silent for along time, not lifting his head until a cigarette extinguished. He lookedat his assistant and said in a voice devoid of warmth, "Find out whichcountry they have gone to in Walker Group for me, and compile thevulnerabilities of the companies I asked you to collect that had longcooperation histories with Walker Group.”

The assistant didn't know what Preston was planning, but he noddedand agreed, "Alright, I'll go to the company this afternoon to compilethese things. But... when do you plan to leave? I'm worried..."

"No rush," Preston replied indifferently, adding, "Even if I wanted toleave now, I can't. I'll wait until the storm passes."

The assistant nodded and left without saying more. He needed toreturn to the company and couldn't stay at home for long.

After the assistant returned to Walker Group, he organized theinformation Preston had asked for and emailed it to Preston's privateemail. This email was known only to him and Preston, making it secure.As for Preston's situation, Walker Group was naturally abuzz withdiscussion. The assistant listened, unable to offer any retorts. However,he couldn't help feeling anxious and fearful in his heart.

Preston had no news at the moment, and Kian was the first to informAyan about the situation in Flento. Kian was still in Flento City, but hewas on a private trip, so only a few people were aware of it.

Kian asked Preston in a hushed tone, "Mr. Simpson, given the currentsituation, could Preston escape again like he did last time?"
