After talking to Camille on the phone, Preston did not immediately leave the company downstairs, sat in the car with a sullen face and did not move to stare at the building door.
Camille's attitude had told him what she thought of him from the bottom of her heart.
She had concluded that he was responsible for her grandmother's death. He felt that Ayan had caused all this, that Ayan had done the trick, and that it was Ayan who had made her so indifferent to him.
Preston slightly narrowed his eyes, his face cold and gloomy. The bottom of his eyes was overflowing with ruthlessness.
After a long time he started the gas and drove away.
Hance City Hospital.
The woman in the ward sat alone by the window and stared. The phone message alert suddenly rang at this time.
"Open the door."
She pursed her lips and hesitated for a few seconds before she got up to open the door.
The man outside the door strided in and shut the door with his hand.
The man asked indifferently, "No one will come in at this hour, right?"
"No, I've told the nurse I'm going to rest." She whispered in response, then added the backlock to the door just in case.
The two walked to the couch and sat down, and only then did she ask, "When did you get back?"
"It's been a few days, and now there's a collaborative project with Ayan."
"You're working with Ayan?" She was full of surprise and asked, not quite convinced, "Ayan is willing to work with you?"
"It's not whether he's willing or not, he has to. he's not in charge of this cooperation, although he's in charge of the project, the final decision is still in the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Bell. He has nothing to do with it."
Preston snorted lightly. He didn't take Ayan seriously.
Eileen's eyes were still filled with worry and disbelief. her face a littlegloomy, but in the end she didn't say anything.
When she didn't make a sound, Preston took the initiative to ask, "Is there something wrong with your health? It's not a good idea to stay in the hospital all the time. Our purpose is not yet fulfilled. Are you going to give up because something happened to me?"
Preston's words were full of unpleasant questioning, and his eyes seemed to reveal some accusation.
Eileen pursed her lips, also instantly displeased, she said: "If there were no problem with me, would I have been in the hospital? Am I not more aware of the situation than you are today? Do you know that Ayan came yesterday to ask me if I had contact with you or not?"
Only she knew how difficult Preston's time away was, especially when Arnold took advantage of her. She was on the verge of depression, and then when she was diagnosed with a medical condition, she really felt it was doom.
This was all because Preston left her alone in Hance City, otherwise why would she be like this?
So there was resentment in her heart towards Preston.
But Preston didn't realize it, just thought she was embarrassed by Ayan's question, so after listening to what she said, that was when he immediately responded, "He came to see you? How did you answer?"
"How can I answer? Of course saying no. After all, you haven't been in touch with me in any real sense since you fell off the bridge. In fact, I already thought that our cooperation had ended when you left."
She sneered, with blame and resentment in her eyes, and looked at Preston with a faint coldness in her eyes.
Preston was also sullen and said indifferently, "You think I want this to happen? It's all because of Ayan, and now that I'm back, I'll make sure he gives it back bit by bit."
"Aren't you afraid that Ayan will hold you accountable if you come back in such an showy manner?"
"This is what I came here today to tell you in particular, now I am back in Hance City as Benjamin. Even if Ayan is now suspecting, he has no evidence. He can do nothing to me, even if he knows it is me, it is impossible to do anything to me. But you and I can't see each other as often as before, and in front of others, especially Ayan, we must act as if we are in no relationship or even in disagreement."
The main reason Preston wanted to do this was that he didn't want Ayan to put all his attention on him and Eileen, otherwise it would be a hindrance to what he wanted to do in the future.
Eileen looked at him with a cold face: "If Ayan really suspected you, do you think he would believe that our not seeing each other means that we have no relationship? He has always suspected you and I can't just be because of Camille and him. There must be other reasons behind this, but he just hasn't found out for now."
"Don't worry, he won't be able to find it, and I won't give him that chance. Everything will be solved before he even finds out why."
