My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 939

Chapter 939: Surveillance

Sienna met Camille's gaze and answered seriously, "I find him a pervert."

Indeed, this wasn't about genuine affection; it was obsession. There was something wrong with his mind. Camille silently told herself that from this moment on, it was over. Everything between they two were cleanly cut off here.

The good moments and the help she had received in the past were now just a way for her to return the favor he had conjured up out of thin air.

Camille didn't dwell on the matter any longer. She continued working with Sienna on their unfinished tasks and later, when it was time to pick up Timmy, they both headed to get him.

Even though it was already past five in the afternoon, the online buzz surrounding the situation had not waned with time. Instead, new developments were constantly emerging.

Ayan thought Preston would be frantically busy like an ant on a hot pan, but surprisingly, he found the leisure to report to the police on Quintus's behalf.

Pretending to be Quintus's friend, he reported that Quintus was missing and directly implicated Ayan as the cause. His reasoning was that Quintus held incriminating evidence against Ayan, so Ayan might be inclined to silence him.

Ayan had a good relationship with the police, so any matters involving the Simpson Group and Ayan would naturally draw attention from law enforcement. Logan promptly informed Ayan about this development, to which Ayan responded with a cold smile, "It's quite amusing that he still has spare time to meddle in other people's affairs."

Logan couldn't help but smile too. "What's your plan?"

"Since he has reported to the police, we'll naturally cooperate with them. It would be a waste not to," Ayan replied nonchalantly. He had already informed Logan about the situation with Quintus. Quintus was temporarily in his custody due to certain matters that needed to be resolved. Logan had made the necessary arrangements to keep track of this information, rendering Preston's attempt to involve the police futile.

What was touted as cooperation on Quintus's part was nothing more than a facade. Unbeknownst to Quintus, Ayan informed him of Preston's current situation. After perusing the online news, Quintus was well aware that Preston couldn't contend with Ayan. Hesitating for a while, he turned to his vigilant bodyguard and said, "I want to meet Mr. Simpson."

Of course, the bodyguard wouldn't agree and instead informed Quintus, "If you have anything to say, say it directly. Mr. Simpson doesn't have time to see you."

"Doesn't Mr. Simpson want to know about Preston's affairs?"

"Preston is in dire straits now. Do you think Mr. Simpson still has concerns for him?"

Quintus's face turned pale, and he fell silent as he realized the truth in the bodyguard's words.

Thus, he could only truthfully explain, "Then please relay to Mr. Simpson that I genuinely don't know why Preston wants to contact Cora. I also have no idea about how Cora left Hance. Obviously, Preston doesn't fully trust me, but I do know that Preston has a trusted assistant at Flento's Walker Group. This assistant has been with Preston for many years and has a shared background in the same orphanage. I believe Mr. Simpson might find this interesting."

The bodyguard's expression grew serious as he looked at Quintus. "Don't try any tricks. If you dare lie, consider whether you'll even be able to leave."

Quintus replied, "If you don't believe me, then investigate. Given Preston's current predicament, Mr. Simpson shouldn't have a hard time looking into this matter. It's relatively easy to find out about this assistant, who has worked at Walker Group for many years and has little contact with Preston."

"What's the assistant's name?"

"I don't know his name, but I've only heard Preston speak with this assistant over the phone. All I know is his first name is Patrik."

The bodyguard nodded and signaled to another person who was keeping an eye on Quintus. Then, he stepped outside the villa to make a phone call.
