However, due to a lack of concrete evidence and relying solely on Sean's words, the police had no choice but to accept Louise's family's proposal to drop the case against Preston.
Even the online community was powerless in this situation; it was solely in the hands of Louise's family.
This news caused quite a stir in Hance City, but the commotion couldn't significantly affect Preston. Sean saw this news and grew extremely anxious, unsure of what to do, so he quickly contacted Kian.
He asked Kian, "Kian, is Preston safe now? Otherwise, why would Louise's family suddenly withdraw the case?"
"He's bribed Louise's family, which is why they agreed to drop the case. That's also why I initially asked you to provide any evidence you had. But now, it's too late; the situation is already settled," Kian responded coldly.
Sean was disheartened because he had essentially betrayed Preston. If Preston managed to make a comeback, wouldn't he seek revenge against himself?
Kian didn't pay much attention to Sean, only advising him, "If you're worried about Preston retaliating against you, consider leaving Hancefor a while."
Kian didn't elaborate further; after all, his relationship with Sean had always been one of mutual utility.
Recent events had clearly favored Preston, causing the atmosphere around Ayan to grow heavy. As a result, Kian didn't dare report Sean's situation to Ayan and could only handle it on his own.
At Simpson Group, Ayan sat in his office, his expression aloof. He appeared lost in thought, his eyes reflecting a distant coldness. After a while, he picked up his phone and dialed a series of numbers. When the call was answered, he spoke, "Where are you?"
The other party seemed surprised by Ayan's question, hesitating for a few seconds before responding in a calm voice, "In a hotel room. Ayan, why did you suddenly call me?"
"Wasn't it you who asked Kian to inform me, wanting to meet and discuss something?" Ayan asked indifferently, "Or are you currently unavailable?"
Eileen quickly denied, "Of course not. I just thought you were busy with work and didn't want to bother you. The truth is, I don't really have anything important. I've been idle every day, but I can't keep doing that. I want to invest my time in work, but my agent and my former company have completely cut ties with me. So, I'm not sure what to do now."
Eileen's reputation had been utterly tarnished before. Though she had brought it upon herself, she had never once questioned if it was her fault. Instead, she was fixated on how to restore her career. She still wanted to face the public, to stand at the pinnacle of the show business. She relished being in the spotlight, feeling like a dazzling diamond.
After careful consideration over the past few days, she had come to realize that, so far, only Ayan could help her. If she wanted to reclaim her career, she would have to listen to Ayan's instructions, follow his arrangements.
She said softly, "Ayan, would you be willing to help me?"
Ayan, of course, wouldn't give a direct answer to that question. He responded with a cold tone, "Since you're at the hotel, come downstairs. I'll have Kian pick you up. Come to Simpson Group, and we can talk?"
Eileen asked, "To Simpson Group? Won't that cause any trouble for you?"
"Trouble for me? What kind of trouble could it possibly cause me?"
"Wouldn't Camille misunderstand? After all, she misunderstood last time, so..."
