My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 891

Chapter 891: Editing

The police didn't give a positive response for the time being.

Due to the sufficient evidence, the police couldn't detain Sean, but they still questioned him, saying, "If it's not related to you, why have you been hiding and evading for so long? You're obstructing official business!"

Sean explained, "I was afraid that someone would use me as a scapegoat."

He had said the same thing to the media outside the police station, and the reporters questioned him, "Mr. Clarke, can you tell us who you believe wants to harm you?"

Sean remained silent and only said, "The person who wants to harm me knows it well. Some things I don't want to say too explicitly. The police will investigate and ensure my safety."

His words sparked many speculations and inquiries from the media, and the interest in the case increased. Eventually, Sean left with the police escort.

The journalists immediately edited and posted the live broadcast as a video on their official websites, which quickly garnered attention and comments.

Although the incident had occurred a long time ago, the recent development of Sean's situation, his statement to the police, and the police investigation all proved his innocence, leading to questions about the real murderer.

Preston's secretary, Quintus, was one of the first to see this news. He wasted no time and immediately sent the video directly to Preston. Worried that Preston might miss it, he also called him personally.

When Preston answered the phone, Quintus said urgently, "Mr. Walker, please take a look at the video I sent you. Sean has been caught by the police."

Preston immediately asked, "When did this happen?"

"I'm not sure. I saw it in the media's video. There was just a live broadcast at the police station, but it was unexpected, so there was little advance notice, and the live stream didn't get much attention. However, the video and its content released by the media have caused quite a stir. They even bought trending spots, after all, this is a matter of murder," Quintus explained.

Preston had instructed Quintus to inform him of any news about Sean as soon as possible before leaving Hance.

Not understanding Preston's true thoughts, Quintus unintentionally blurted out what he was thinking.

He continued, "Sean's words to the police and the media indicate that there is more to the incident than meets the eye. Mr. Walker, did Sean do something illegal without your knowledge? Or was he manipulated by someone? Could it be related to Austin? After all, Austin is also in deep trouble now. He might have pinned everything on Sean."

Quintus kept speculating, completely unaware of Preston's silent reaction.

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere became quiet for a moment.

Quintus quickly apologized, "Mr. Walker, I'm sorry. I spoke too much."

Preston didn't respond to the apology. He simply asked in a detached tone, "Where is Sean now?"

"The police are protecting him. He requested it himself. I just checked. Sean is staying in a hotel not far from the police station," Quintus informed Preston.

Preston didn't reply immediately, and there was a brief silence for several seconds before he said to Quintus, "Keep an eye on the situation. Let me know if there's any other news."

Quintus nodded, and he asked, "Mr. Walker, when are you planning to return? Mr. and Mrs. Bell's assistants have notified us in the group chat that we can start work again in the next two days. Mr. and Mrs. Bell have returned from abroad, but Simpson Group hasn't made any moves and hasn't contacted us about resuming work."

"Don't worry about that. Wait until Simpson Group arranges it. Tomorrow, go to the museum and get the template of the design drawings from Jenson. Tell him it's my request."
