Chapter 938: Blackmail

“Then cut off his way out and force him to show himself."

"Mr. Simpson, what do you mean?"

Ayan let out a light hum and said indifferently, "Who does he want toreplace the most right now?"

After such a big incident, Preston was filled with anger and hatred.Wasn't there something he wanted to vent?

Upon hearing this, Kian immediately understood, but still saidsomewhat uneasily, "Mr. Simpson, will this be dangerous?"

“It's not real. Since he could have Quintus replace someone similar toCora, can't we do the same?"

"I understand what you mean. I'll arrange it now. I'll try to make Prestonshow up today, preferably get caught.”

“No need to get caught. As long as he has no way out and is like atrapped dog, it's enough. If he's really caught, what's the point of thisgame?" Ayan said casually.

In fact, apart from the project related to Simpson Group, there wasenough evidence to prove that Preston was behind it. As for the matterwith Louise, there wasn't direct evidence that it was him.

Relying solely on Sean's words only led to suspicion towards Preston,but there wasn't direct proof.

So, even if Preston were to be caught, it wouldn't be enough tocompletely crush him.

That wasn't Ayan's intention. He wouldn't easily send someone to jailunless he intended to make sure they never got back up. Otherwise, hewouldn't want to make it so easy for them to make connections withpeople inside and use them later.

After finishing the call with Kian, Ayan casually put his phone down.Glancing at the time, he thought that Camille should be at hercompany, so he drove straight to her workplace.

With so much happening, everything had been spread across theinternet, and Camille had already seen these messages under Sienna's"sharing."

However, Camille and Ayan hadn't had a serious conversation yet, sowhen Ayan arrived at Camille's company, she was a bit taken aback.With a surprised expression, she asked, "Why are you here?"

Camille had been discussing a design competition with Sienna. Theywere preparing to go to the school to select assistants in the comingdays. Seeing Ayan suddenly appear, she found herself a bitdumbfounded.

Ayan's deep eyes fixed on her, and he replied with a faint smile, “Icame for a work inspection.”

He was dressed in a black suit, and even without saying anything, hispresence seemed to carry an intangible sense of authority.

Sienna immediately stood up and looked at the two of them. "Alright, Iwon't disturb you."

She quickly picked up her laptop and moved away.

After it was just Camille and Ayan left, she looked at him with a faintsmile. “Mr. Simpson, how come you didn't give me any advance noticeof your visit?"

"Sudden surprise, just checking on what you're up to."

"An inspection then?"

"Yes, an inspection. Are you up for it?"

Ayan approached her, taking her hand and guiding her towards theoffice.

After closing the door gently, the two of them walked to the sofa and satdown. Camille asked, "So, is there something specific you came for atthis time?"

He didn't answer directly. He just gazed at her, his eyes revealing agentle and elusive tenderness. His voice was low and soft as he spoke,"Have you seen the news online about Preston?”

His question was direct, without any beating around the bush.

Camille wasn't surprised by this topic. She met his gaze evenly, herexpression calm and her voice devoid of emotion as she said, "Yes, I'veseen it."

Not only had she read the news, but she had also seen the intimatephotos of Preston and Zoie. Even Sienna had mentioned that Zoie hadsome resemblance to her. While they might not look similar when sideby side, a quick glance might lead one to think there was aresemblance. However, Camille felt a sense of revulsion when shelearned about Zoie's connection to Preston.

Therefore, when Ayan brought up the topic, Camille's expression didn'tturn pleasant. Her gaze was cold and detached, and she said, "I don'twant to discuss this.”

Ayan perceived her emotions, and something within him seemed to stir,giving rise to an indescribable feeling.

Camille pursed her lips and explained, “Not wanting to discuss itdoesn't mean I have any reservations. I just replace this topicuncomfortable, so I'd rather not dwell on it."

Ayan nodded lightly. He wouldn't press further and simply heldCamille's hand gently, intertwining their fingers.

Camille softly asked, "So, did you come all the way here just to talkabout this?"

"As an aside," he replied calmly.

The discussion about Preston was still on the rise, and internet userswere seeking answers from Simpson Group's official accounts, trying togain more attention for the matter.

Under Kian's direction, Simpson Group released a statement: "Ourpresident and his wife have a good relationship. Please refrain frommaking baseless speculations.”

The statement didn't confirm or deny anything. Netizens who couldn'tget a direct response from Simpson Group took to cursing Preston.Especially considering Preston's two-timing situation, with Molly beingpregnant and the Walker family having treated him well, he was beinglabeled as ungrateful.

Camille and Ayan sat together, scrolling through these comments ontheir phones. Their faces remained mostly expressionless, but thecomplexity of their emotions was evident in their eyes.

Ayan's lips parted slightly, and he spoke softly, "He's being hunteddown throughout Flento now. I'm concerned he might becomedesperate. So, if he contacts you proactively recently, don't pay himany mind. Don't listen to whatever he says, alright?"

She replied, "You've said this twice already, I understand. You don'tneed to say it again.”

Camille was a bit helpless; Ayan had already mentioned this twice.Ayan lightly pinched her cheek, and with a gentle gaze, he said, "I needto remind you because people can resort to desperate measures whenthey have no other options.”

"I understand," Camille answered softly. Then she asked, "Should Ihave my mom take Timmy to the countryside?"

"No need, there are bodyguards with him." Preston currently couldn'tcome to Hance, as he would be arrested on sight. So, he couldn't domuch for the time being.

As Camille didn't seem inclined to discuss the matter further, Ayandidn't press. After spending some more time with her, he returned to hiscompany.

Sienna immediately hopped over. She looked at Camille eagerly andasked, "Why did Mr. Simpson visit? Did he come to talk to you aboutPreston? Tell me quickly, is there any inside information? Did Mr.Simpson have a hand in Preston's downfall?"

"Don't make wild guesses,” Camille reminded her lightly.

Sienna said, "I mean no harm. I'm just genuinely curious. It's surprisingthat even someone like Molly, who has been lost in love for so manyyears, could be so clear-headed. I have to say, I really admire her for it.A single blow has exposed all of Preston's wrongdoings, and now sheseems more like a real woman!"

Molly had always been quite spoiled and pampered at home. So, heractions were quite shocking.

Camille didn't respond; she just felt a bit heavy-hearted. With so muchhappening, she was genuinely starting to feel annoyed. Particularly,while she wasn't directly involved in this matter, the photos of Prestonwith Zoie made her uncomfortable.

Camille asked with a faint tone, "Do you believe he's truly infatuatedwith me?"
