"Drive it back; isn't it safe for now? We'll deal with it after you are back to the Simpson Group."
Once the car returned to the Simpson Group, there were many ways to handle the situation. It was unlikely that the person behind it could use an accident to stop him from making Sean continue revealing what he knew. Besides, he was grateful that they discovered the issue in time. At least, he and Kian were the only ones aware of it, which spared Camille from any worry or entanglement in the matter.
That was the last thing he wanted to see.
In fact, he had accidentally caught a glimpse of it and then saw someone from the van acting suspiciously near his car. That's why he asked Kian to bring someone to check it.
As for the restaurant, as soon as Kian took the car and left, someone went to the front desk to inquire about it.
According to Ayan's instructions, the front desk responded, "Mr. Simpson had some drinks and couldn't drive. That's why he left the key with us and asked Kian to come and drive for him."
This answer had no loopholes and sounded plausible, so the other party had no reason to suspect anything.
Everything was under Ayan's control.
Kian drove back to the Simpson Group, reaching the office in no time. As he handed Ayan the pictures showing the brake was tampered with, he whispered, "Mr. Simpson, it seems we can't wait any longer."
Ayan glanced at the photos on the phone screen, his expression icy cold. He said, "Get a professional to conduct an inspection and prepare a report."
Kian nodded and looked at Ayan, asking, "Mr. Simpson, what should we do next?"
Ayan let out a disdainful sound, his face expressionless, his eyes filled with darkness and complexity. His furrowed brow revealed a hint of malevolence and suppressed chill. "Let Sean's video be released early. If he can't hold back, then give him this opportunity. After the video circulates, we'll expose Sean's identity and people who have connections with him via media, and by then, everyone will sort out the truth. We won't need to worry."
Kian also learned from this, "Preston will have a hard time escaping blame from the media and public opinion. Regardless of whether he speaks up or not, people will suspect him. After all, this society is filled with suspicion and distrust."
Ayan's expression remained placid. Without saying a word, he implicitly agreed with Kian.
Since Camille was still in the resting room, and it was almost time for her to start work, Ayan decided to conclude the topic and asked Kian to leave the office.
Ayan knocked on the door of the resting room, and Camille was watching TV. When she saw him enter, she instinctively checked the time. "Are we leaving now?"
"Yeah, if you don't want to go, take a day off and stay with me at work, okay?"
"No, I'm too bored. I want to go to work. I can't keep taking days off; people will say things."
"Don't worry about what others think."
"It's not about that. I just don't want to be gossiped about, and I don't want people to think I'm being privileged because of you. Besides, there's really no reason to take a day off. It's not a good idea. So, Mr. Simpson, please take me to work now!"
Camille turned off the TV, and Ayan couldn't argue with her, so he had to go along with her wishes.
When Camille arrived at the museum, others had also arrived. In addition to the architects, there were Jenson and Jenson's secretary, as well as two staff from the museum. Besides them, there was Preston's secretary, Quintus.
Except for Preston, all the participants of the project were present.
The architects were a bit nervous about such a setup and quietly asked Jenson, "Mr. Evans, why is everyone here?"
Jenson replied, "I informed everyone to come."
Jenson looked at everyone and said, "Everyone has seen Sean's situation that, and a lot has happened in our project from the beginning until now. Although Sean is no longer part of our project, he was still involved at some point. With such a significant incident, I think it's necessary for us to sit down and talk. According to the police and media, I believe all of us in the project will soon be approached by the police for questioning."
