Sean squinted his eyes slightly, his expression solemn as he said, "Dad, at this point, do you still plan to help him? He's in trouble himself now. Do you want Ayan to know that we're still in contact with him? Or do you want to go back inside?"
Elijah's gaze flickered momentarily. He naturally didn’t want that, but there were some things he had no choice but to accept. His expression was very serious, his face filled with conflicting emotions.
Without any response, Sean instinctively thought that he still wanted to lean towards Preston. Therefore, his tone was somewhat emotional as he said, "Dad, it's already this late. Can't you be more clear-headed? Do you still want to be so naive? Or do you really think Preston will give you a guarantee? He can't even protect himself now, how could he care about you? | advise you to think it through!"
Elijah furrowed his brow, his face devoid of color. His thoughts were heavy, and his voice became exceptionally deep, "Let's not talk about this anymore, or both of us will be in trouble if Ayan's people hear us."
“Now you're scared? Since you're scared, can you be rational? Regardless of what Preston does in the future, don't pay any attention to him. He's heartless. Look at Ayan's wife Camille, they used to be such good friends, but in the end, it was all about using each other. It's all his doing. If he hadn't been stubbornly holding onto others, how could he have ended up like this?"
Sean was now filled with anger towards Preston because not only was Preston incapable of securing his own interests, but he also had no kindness in him. He was still trying to take advantage of his helpless father. Now both him and Elijah had to rely on Ayan, knowing that the purpose behind Ayan providing for them was to entangle Preston. But once Preston lost his value, they would be useless.
Sean was grateful that he had foresight. On the night when Elijah met with Preston in the past few days, he had proactively contacted Ayan, and luckily, Ayan was willing to give him a chance.
Otherwise, they would probably be separated again.
Despite his father's insistence on not discussing the matter any further, Sean still had a basic understanding of him. He knew that Elijah was protective of Preston and wouldn't easily abandon that idea. Therefore, Sean had to make some decisions on his own.
The father and son did not continue their conversation. Sean continued to monitor Elijah's every move, and he knew that he couldn't leave the hotel with him. Instead, he planned to contact Ayan while Elijah was showering or sleeping.
He wanted to establish a good relationship with Ayan, have him arrange a job for him, and not stand on Preston's side anymore. It was important to protect his own interests at the moment and think about his future.
In just one night, everything changed dramatically.
Sienna had been worried that this matter would cause an unexpected reaction from the Ward family's parents, but now all the blame was directed at Preston. It was all a result of Preston's jealousy and anger leading to retaliation. All the negativity and wrongdoing naturally fell on Preston alone.
Simpson Group. After finishing his own meeting, Rex went to the Simpson Group.
He was now sitting in Ayan's office at the Simpson Group, relaxed and comfortable on the sofa, holding a cup of tea. He looked at Ayan with a faint smile on his face.
Ayan sat at his desk without intending to lift his head, but he could clearly feel Rex's gaze on him. After several unspoken exchanges, Ayan finally couldn't help but speak up, "Have you had enough to drink? If you're done, please leave. | have things to attend to and no time to entertain you."
Rex chuckled and said, "You go ahead with your work, I'll just sit for a while. I'm not bothering you, why rush me away?"
Rex was in a very good mood today, especially seeing the online chatter trending in a favorable direction. It was quite comforting.
Ayan glanced at him coldly and said, "Your presence here is the biggest distraction to me."
"Should | sit outside then?" Rex said, but he made no move to leave.
He looked at Ayan, and their eyes met.
He continued, "Ayan, the weather is so nice today. Isn't it a shame if we don't catch up? Don't you think so?"
"Do you think everyone has as much free time as you do?" Ayan knew that Rex was in a good mood, but he didn't see any reason to be happy about it.
But Rex persisted, "Even if we don't have a drink, how about this? I'll treat you and your wife to dinner tonight. How about that?"
Ayan didn't want to engage with him, so Rex called Sienna directly and arranged for her to invite Camille to dinner that evening. He had already booked a restaurant both women liked, specializing in seafood.
After making these arrangements, Rex didn't press Ayan further. He simply said, "I've invited Camille. If you're busy tonight, my wife and | can accompany her."
Ayan glanced at him indifferently, as if looking at a fool.
Rex didn't mind. He maintained a cheerful expression and stood up, walking over to Ayan's fencer Keenan g his hands gently on the table, and looked at Ayan earnestly. He said, "Ayan, thank you for what you did. If it wasn't for you, I'd still be the pitiful one that everyone pities." Please read the original content at .
His face was serious, and he seemed genuinely sincere.
Ayan didn't really need his thanks, but he reminded him, "The situation may have passed, but it doesn't mean it's truly over. If Mario decides to use this information as fact in the future, you really will be pitiful."
Rex's expression faltered for a moment, and then he said softly, "Don't tease me like that. I've finally been feeling a bit better, and now | have to start suppressing myself again."Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Rex's face turned serious, and he nodded slightly, understanding that what Ayan said was true.
Seeing Rex's expression grow heavy, Ayan couldn't help but smile faintly. He then said, "But you cen needitol heii ge-rauch Mart probably
