Chapter 755 Lost Face

In the bustling city, there was a luxurious villa with a large courtyard.

The owner of the villa was a wealthy businessman named Zhang

Cheng. He had made his fortune through various business ventures

and lived a lavish lifestyle.

However, despite his wealth and success, Zhang Cheng had one

weakness - he cared deeply about his reputation. He couldn't bear to

lose face in front of others and would go to great lengths to protect it.

One day, while attending an important business meeting with several

other businessmen, Zhang Cheng received some bad news. One of his

investments had failed miserably, resulting in a significant loss of

money.

Zhang Cheng was devastated by this news and immediately left the

meeting without saying anything. He rushed back to his villa and locked

himself in his room for days on end.

During this time, rumors began to spread throughout the city that Zhang

Cheng's business empire was crumbling. People started talking behind

his back and questioning whether he was truly as successful as he

claimed to be.

Zhang Cheng couldn't bear the shame of losing face in front of others.

He became increasingly paranoid and reclusive, refusing to leave his

villa or see anyone else.

As time passed by, Zhang Cheng's once-great reputation began to

crumble away completely. His businesses failed one after another until

he eventually lost everything he had worked so hard for.

In the end, all that remained were whispers about how one man's

obsession with protecting his own image led him down a path towards

ruin and despair - an unfortunate lesson for anyone who values their

reputation above all else.

Molly's words surprised and shocked Luke and Naomi.

Naomi couldn't believe it and said, "Are you lying? Are you trying to

deceive us?"

Molly replied, “If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do.”

Molly had a cold expression on her face with no glimmer in her eyes. It

was hard to tell if what she said was true or false.

Luke and Naomi looked at each other before Luke took a deep breath

and asked, "You're going to marry him?"

“I'm already pregnant with his child. What else can I do?" Molly replied.

"What about him? Does he want to marry you?" Luke asked flatly.

Molly didn't answer immediately. She repeated the question in her

mind. Did he want to marry her?

With pursed lips, Molly finally answered, "Of course!"

Luke let out a disappointed laugh. He said, "Great! This is my daughter

who I've cherished so much in my hands! You're cruel to me and your

mother for this man! You'd rather give up your family for him?"

Molly remained silent.

Luke continued speaking sternly,"Since you insist on being with

Preston, then don't regret it. If you choose Preston over us then we'll

cut all ties!"

After Luke spoke those words Molly also fell silent.

She looked at Luke incredulously as tears rolled down her cheeks while

Naomi cried silently beside them.

Their attitudes were firm; they had probably discussed this before Molly

returned home.

They wanted to force Molly into breaking things off completely with

Preston through this method.

The Walker family wasn't the top-tier elite but they were one of the old

aristocratic families of Flento City's elite circle; an old enterprise that

had been around for years now.

Whoever Molly would find as a husband later would have to be able

match their status accordingly too.

As for Preston Mr. and Mrs. Walker didn't think he was good enough for

their daughter because of his behavior which they did not approve of so

they refused outrightly too when approached by him or even by their

daughter about marriage proposals from him

After hearing what Luke said, Molly remained quiet until she whispered

softly,"You want to cut all ties with me?"

Luke persisted with a cold face, saying, "If that's how you feel, then so

be it. If you insist on being with Preston, then from now on we the

Walker family will no longer have a daughter like you. Do as you

please, but do you know what? You deceived us into sending you

abroad for further studies. This has made me and your mother lose

face!"

Luke raised his hand and slapped himself hard in the face. Despite

having been in the business world for many years, no one had ever

spoken to him like this before.

Faced with Luke's emotions, Molly was also at a loss for words

because Luke had never said such harsh words before. She began to

feel anxious and scared.

"Why don't you agree?" Molly asked. "Preston is someone that the

Walker family personally chose to adopt into our family. You were

satisfied with him at first; that's why he was adopted right? Why won't

you let us be together now? Why?"

"Molly," Luke replied sternly. “Your mother and I only adopted Preston

to support his education so that he could treat you well as if he were

your own brother or sister when taking over Walker Group and

everything related to the Walker family in the future! We never said

anything about letting him marry into our family! If he had any gratitude

whatsoever in his heart, he wouldn't have left us behind just like that

when going off to Hance City with Camille! We've really raised an

ungrateful person!"

Naomi was also very emotional about this situation - especially when

she thought about how Preston abandoned everything they taught him

at Walker Group after becoming successful there just so he could start

anew in Hance City alongside Camille - they couldn't bear it.

They felt like not only did they raise an ungrateful person but also

someone who would use their teachings against them if given half a

chance.

This kind of person didn't show any gratitude or consideration towards

them; how could they trust such a person? Naomi accused Preston of

all these things while Molly remained oblivious — she couldn't believe it

nor did she want to believe it: "No way," she said firmly "Preston can't

possibly be this kind of person; there's no way he'd abandon The

Walkers."

Luke didn't want to hear any more from Preston. He grabbed a glass of

water and smashes it on the floor. Then he calls the servant: "Get her

out of here. We don't have anyone like that in the Walker family. From

now on, when she comes home, she doesn't have to open the door.

Luke wasn't just talking. After giving instructions to the servant, he

immediately got up and went upstairs, taking Naomi with him.

The elderly couple made this decision out of necessity, as Molly

refused to turn back no matter what.

The servants were also in a difficult position. Although Luke's words

were decisive, Molly was still their daughter, so they couldn't really

drive her away. They began to persuade her: "Miss, you should talk to

Madam and Sir properly. They won't harm you. As parents, they only

want the best for their children. They are worried about you being so

determined to be with Mr. Chu!"

Molly remained silent and sat on the sofa for a long time. She didn't

stay long with the Walker family, and now Luke and Naomi refused to

talk to her properly. They were probably even angry just at the sight of

her. So she left the Walker's Villa and found a nearby hotel to

temporarily stay in.

Molly hasn't contacted Preston. She wants to wait for him to remember

her and reach out to her on his own, because she has already taken

the initiative too many times. However, Preston has always been very

indifferent towards her, which has made her doubt his sincerity towards

her more than once. But every time, she convinces herself otherwise.

This time, she is determined to hold out.

As soon as Molly left the Walker family and moved into a hotel,

someone immediately told Kian.

Kian also immediately reported the news to Ayan, saying, "It seems that

Molly and the Walker family haven't come to an agreement. I

specifically had someone inquire with their servants and found out that

Mr. and Mrs. Walker don't want Molly to be with Preston and are forcing

her to break up by cutting off ties."

Ayan nodded and said, "Then let's give Mr. and Mrs. Walker Preston's

pictures along with the others since Molly is unwilling to do anything.

Let Mr. and Mrs. Walker do it for her."

"Will Mr. and Mrs. Walker be able to accept the impact on their health?"

"No way, Molly is the only daughter of the Walker family. They still have

to work hard to wake up their love-struck daughter!"

Ayan's plan is understood by Kian, but he expresses some concern

and asks, "Mr. Simpson, what if Preston doesn't respond to our calls?"

"He doesn't know how to handle it. So many things have happened one

after another, if Preston is still indifferent, then he is not the same

Preston anymore. Although he can remain calm, being provoked

repeatedly will eventually push anyone to do something.”

Ayan is very confident, especially when it comes to people like Preston.

He definitely won't sit back and take this loss lying down.

Kian sent Luke photos of Preston and another woman in an

anonymous email that day. After hearing that Luke saw these photos,

he almost went straight to Hance City to kill Preston.

DE a oY

Luke had a big temper tantrum and immediately called Molly back to

the Walker family.

Luke threw the photos in front of Molly, pointed them in her nose and

asked, "Did you know he was seeing someone else? Are you gonna

stick with this guy after all this? Go and get rid of that baby at once,

you're not going to have it!"

Luke's words were decisive, and he immediately asked Naomi to take

Molly to the hospital.
