Preston wondered if it wasn’t for Mina, would he be reduced to a corpse now.
“We’re friends.
You’re welcome.
I just happened to pass by so I helped you out.
By the way, your wallet with me.
You left it in the chair at that time.
I’ll get it to you,” Mina said.
Preston’s heart skipped a beat.
Mina happened to save him because he dropped his wallet and she was out to return it.
“Thank you!” He thanked her again.
The words contained a lot of meanings, from sincere gratitude, and the relief of surviving a calamity, to that subtle fate that brought them together… “You’re welcome.” Mina felt a little uncomfortable and scratched her head.
James came out of another room and shouted, “Mr.
Blake!” James had an outstanding IQ and amazing eyesight.
His memory was so impressive that he almost had a photographic memory.
That was unlike those fools who couldn’t even differentiate between Preston and the bodyguard.
“Hello!” Preston greeted politely.
He did not know the person in front of him.
However, he felt that the person in front of him had a very cold aura.
He clearly looked like a scholar and did not look like a rich person.
The man just gave off the aura of a superior who could not be disobeyed.
“Mr.
Blake, let’s talk in private,” James said.
Preston frowned slightly.
Mina whispered to him, “This is my mentor’s master, James Brown.” It was her third grandmaster who told her.
Cash was the most talkative among the few Grandmasters and liked to share things with her.
When Preston heard that it was Annalise’s master, he immediately felt less distant.
He followed James to a room.
James did not beat around the bush.
He turned on the computer and played the recording.
Preston listened to the recording and clenched his fists.
He knew that Jared wanted him dead, but when he heard the recording of Jared out to contract his killing, his heart still tightened.
There was anger, sorrow… “Heh…” He couldn’t help but sneer.
James said calmly, “Whether you decide to do it the lawful and send your family to jail, or to forgive Jared’s bestial act, that’s between you and your father.
“He tried to kill and frame Anna’s husband.
I’ll put him in jail for this.
“I asked Mr.
Blake to come over to first, tell you the truth.
Secondly, I hoped that you would not make it public.
I did not want Anna to know and affect the mood of the wedding.
“In three days, I will take revenge.” When Preston heard James’ words, his heart trembled again.
Annalise’s mentors were not related to Annalise by blood at all, yet they treated Annalise like their own daughter and did not want her to suffer any grievances.
As for his own biological father, they were related by blood, but he kept wanting to kill him.
“Mr.
Blake, you can leave now!” James reminded him unhappily.
At this point, James figured that if Preston still had to forgive that bastard, Jared, he deserved to die for it one day.
Preston looked at James and said gratefully, “Thank you for telling me the truth.
I hope that all relationships in this world are mutual.
Family and friends being kind to each other, that one would reap what one sowed, good or bad alike.
He wants my life, so I’ll send him to where he belongs.
If this goes against morality, I’m willing to go to hell after I die.
“Don’t worry.
I also hope that Annalise can be happy for the next three days.
She is my savior.
I hope that she will be happy forever!” With that, Preston bowed slightly to James and left the room.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Mina left with him and waited to return the wallet to him.
“Will you have a drink with me?” Preston said to Mina.
Mina immediately waved her hand.
“No, no, no.
I don’t know how to drink.” She thought of how she thought Preston was drunk before and she couldn’t even hold him properly.
She even kissed him when he fell.
She was afraid that she would really lose consciousness and something might happen between them.
“I’ll drink.
