Preston fell silent and abruptly hung up the phone.
On the insurance company's side, they were relentless with their questions, not giving him any room to breathe. After several calls, Preston could only yield.
The assistant called Kian to inform him, "Preston has transferred the compensation for the damages directly to the insurance company. It should be transferred to us shortly."
Kian nodded and glanced at Ayan. Ayan said, "Donate this money, then have the official account post about this incident. No need to mention names; curious netizens will investigate themselves."
Following Ayan's instructions, the assistant quickly took action, and the call ended.
After the call, Kian expressed his concern, "Mr. Simpson, won't this push Preston to the edge?"
"What do you think he can do if he's pushed to the edge? He's currently using this identity and face in Hance City, and he can hardly move an inch. If he dares to take action, wouldn't it be better for him to just end me directly?" Ayan replied.
Ayan had been worried before, especially about the possibility of Preston drawing on connections from the Walkers or involving Camille and Timmy in this. That's why he had arranged for protection behind the scenes.
However, after his own accident, he seemed to have realized something. What Preston wanted was not their lives. What could be more devastating than being dragged down from the pinnacle and thrown into the mud? For someone like Ayan, that was the most excruciating punishment.
But did Preston have the capability for that?
Simpson Group followed Ayan's instructions and posted on their official account. Preston naturally saw it, and his face twisted with displeasure. He muttered, "Bastard."
Clutching his phone tightly, Preston's emotions were getting out of control. His expression turned particularly sinister, and he entered a series of numbers to make a call. When the call was answered, his voice was cold and emotionless, "Why haven't you made any progress? At this rate, when will you make Ayan pay attention to you?"
Preston's voice was filled with dissatisfaction and anger, especially after seeing the posts on Simpson Group's official account. He was in a foul mood and wanted Ayan to pay some price. Otherwise, he couldn't accept this situation where Ayan was becoming increasingly dominant.
His words put immense pressure on Eileen on the other end of the line. She responded hesitantly, "I want him to agree to my request, but he's asking for sincerity. Without sincerity, he won't agree. What should I do?"
Preston's face remained cold as he asked, "What does he mean by sincerity? He wants to know what our intentions are?"
"Yes, apart from that, I don't have anything worth knowing," Eileen replied nonchalantly.
Preston snorted, his voice devoid of warmth, "You said Ayan values you. How is it that you still haven't resolved this little matter?"
"I don't think he values me anymore. After everything that has happened, do you think he still cares about me?" Eileen asked.
"So, you're useless to Ayan now?" Preston inquired.
"What do you mean by that? Do you think I'm useless now, so why bother making this call?" Eileen's tone didn't improve, and her expression soured further due to Preston's words. In a place where Preston couldn't see, she rolled her eyes and her tone turned even more sarcastic as she continued, "You think I'm worthless to Ayan too, but what about you? Aren't you supposed to be a longtime friend of Camille's? Yet, Camille doesn't seem inclined to help you in any way, so who between us is truly useless?"
