Chapter 1322: Tumbling
The door of the office was gently closed by Yessica as Camille walked
in, and Kian immediately stood up and looked at Camille. Camille
greeted softly, "Mr. Reid, please sit down and talk without formalities.â
Camille spoke calmly, and Kian nodded slightly as he sat back down on
the sofa. Camille put down her bag, walked to the other side of the
sofa, and raised her gaze slightly to ask Kian, "What does Mr. Reid
want to discuss with me?"
Kian took out a piece of paper from a folder and handed it to Camille.
He spoke in a low voice, "Madam, this is the result of my investigation
on last night's online incident. Due to the time difference, I haven't
reported to Mr. Simpson yet. Please take a look at how to handle this
matter."
Camille took the paper and glanced at it, her facial expression
somewhat puzzled. She looked at the contents on the paper, furrowed
her brows slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?"
Kian nodded, "Yes, Preston did this. The owner of the phone card is not
verified, but it is rare to purchase such cards now. So as long as
someone buys it, we can directly find out who itis."
It took Kian a lot of time and effort to do all this. Although he had just
landed in Hance City last night, he was busy until the early hours of the
morning to fully understand these things.
Kian continued, "Before I returned, I talked to Mr. Simpson about
Preston. Because he is currently living in the orphanage, I found out
last night that he had left multiple times by a van from the orphanage to
buy daily necessities. I also found out that he had contact with the
Armstrong family.â
As Kian said this, he hesitated at some points, as the Armstrong family
was Camille's maternal family. Any contact between Preston and the
Armstrong family would definitely have some implications for Camille.
So Kian was a bit hesitant, but he knew that Camille was a very rational
person and wouldn't suspect him of targeting the Armstrong family
because of his words. It was also because Camille's relationship with
the Armstrong family was quite distant, so Kian could speak freely.
Camille remained silent for a moment, then spoke to Kian, âI know
about the matter you mentioned. Preston did have contact with the
Armstrong family. Moreover, he hired a nanny to monitor the Armstrong
family all the time."
Camille also told Kian about Brody's visit, and Kian asked his own
question, "Why did Preston suddenly investigate Mr. Simpson's
affairs?"
Looking at Camille curiously, Kian stared at her, and their gazes met
briefly.
Camille's expression was somewhat solemn, with a hint of emotion in
her eyes. She sighed and said, âLet me tell you the truth."
Camille told Kian everything Preston had said and done. As things were
slipping out of her control, if Ayan continued to remain hidden, Preston
would definitely find out. He was forcing Ayan to reveal himself, wanting
to know what Ayan was up to.
Because he had always been in the shadows while Ayan was in the
light, but now the roles were reversed, and this change made Preston
fearful in his heart. He didn't know what Ayan was planning, so he was
anxious.
After Camille finished speaking, Kian showed almost no surprise. His
expression could be described as calm.
Seeing Kian's reaction, Camille was puzzled, "Aren't you curious?"
Kian couldn't help but chuckle, "Madam, I'm sorry, but actually, when I
was investigating these things last night, I had some guesses. I
contacted the company's assistant, who, under pressure, told me about
the incident where Preston called the secretary's office to inquire about
Mr. Simpson's schedule.â
With this combination, Kian had a rough idea in his mind. However, he
felt that he needed to get a correct response from Camille.
Camille was not angry at all because she had originally intended to tell
Kian about this matter.
Feeling relieved after speaking, she said to Kian, "Don't tell Ayan about
this for now. I'll inform him when he returns to the country.â
Kian nodded, knowing that Mr. Simpson would be arriving in Hance City
soon. Camille was unaware of this, so he wouldn't bring it up.
Camille asked Kian, "Do you know what Preston intends to do with Mr.
Simpson's schedule?"
Kian shook his head slightly, "Not yet. But Preston is not one to do
anything good. He is currently without any support and is in a
desperate state. Therefore, anything he does is possible. Madam, you
need to be cautious and avoid too much contact with him, as it will only
bring you danger and trouble.â
Camille nodded in understanding, as she had always been vigilant and
careful about this.
Kian and Camille chatted for a long time. Yessica, who was busy, had
not brought in the glass of water for a long time. It was only half an hour
later, after Kian finished talking with Camille and left the office, that
Yessica, noticing that they had finished their conversation, came over
with the documents and asked, "Did you finish talking already?"
Kian glanced affectionately at Yessica, murmured in agreement, and
then said to Camille, "Madam, I'm going back to the company. There
are some things I need to take care of."
"Alright." Camille nodded lightly and said, "Yessica, please escort Mr.
Reid out.â
She had already given Yessica and Kian some alone time, and Yessica
nodded with a smile on her face.
Watching the couple leave, Camille's lips curved into a slight smile. She
returned to her desk in the office, picked up her phone, but still hadn't
received any reply from Ayan. This had never happened before. It had
been so long since last night, and Ayan hadn't checked his phone?
Feeling a bit displeased, Camille sighed softly and then focused on her
work. As for the incident related to the radio station at nine o'clock last
night, after the Simpson Group issued a clarification and a warning
letter for spreading rumors, the heat around the issue died down.
Everyone was aware of the Simpson Group's legal tactics, which left no
room for those who fabricated stories to retaliate. With this, the
Simpson Group became a symbol of justice, and every time there was
news about the company, people were eager to see if anyone could
make the group stumble.
