Chapter 358: Jealousy
"No." He responded in a warm voice, raised his hand and cupped hercheeks, and said without changing his face, "Don't think about it, take ashower and rest early, I'll talk to Kian about the company, don't wait forme, hmm?"
Camille nodded gently, with her eyes staring his face for a long timebefore slowly moving away.
She sighed silently, probably she really thought too much.
Camille went back to her room to take a shower, and after hearing thesound of running water, Ayan then lifted his feet and went to thebalcony outside the living room .
Kian's call came at the same time.
On the phone, Kian said, "Mr. Simpson, I found out that Miss Khan wasindeed in the bar last night, but she left in less than half an hour, gotinto a black business car and went to a nearby high-class hotel, I gotthe information from the hotel staff, a middle-aged man took her to theroom, from the surveillance video, it shows that Miss Khan indeeddoesn't look normal, it seems like she had been drugged.”
“Nothing else but that?"
Ayan asked indifferently.
Kian froze in confusion, not quite understanding what Ayan wanted toknow?
He frowned slightly and hesitated before responding, "I investigatedthat it was a registered vehicle in which the commercial vehicle MissKhan was, and the person who took her to the hotel could not befound.”
"Can't replace out who it was?" Ayan sneered, his deep eyes narrowedslightly with a dark thickness: "Did you check what reaction fromArnold's side had after this happened to Eileen?"
“I checked, and Arnold's secretary came by Miss Khan's apartmenttoday, but she has left for now."
"What time frame?"
"It cannot be determined, because the surveillance of apartment isbroken, there is no way to check the specific time period.”
"Hmm."
Ayan responded indifferently, then ended the call.
Eileen thought that Camille had arranged for this, but Camille had beenwith him for the past two days, and even if she wasn't with him, shewas still at the hospital with her grandmother, so even if she had theopportunity to arrange for someone to set up Eileen, why did she pickthis time?
Camille and Eileen are not a day or two apart, so why didn't they do itearlier but wait until now?
Ayan slightly narrowed his eyes, the bottom of his eyes stored a coldindifference.
He already had a rough idea of who was responsible for this, but sincehe and Camille were involved, he would play along with her.
After a sleepless night, Camille was up around 6:00 a. m. the nextmorning.
She had to go to the hospital to see her grandmother before going tothe office to go to the competition site with Yessica and the others.Ayan also woke up after hearing her movement and reached out to pullher, who was really getting out of bed, and asked, "Why are you up soearly?"
Camille said, "Did it wake you up?"
Ayan didn't answer, just sat up after him.
Camille said, "I want to go to the hospital to see my grandmother andthen go to the office.”
“I'l walk you there." After saying that, he lifted the covers and got out ofbed.
Camille hurriedly said, "No, I'll just go there myself, you can sleep alittle longer."
“I'll drive you." Ayan was insistent.
Camille watched his back as he walked towards the bathroom, and alight smile followed at the corners of her mouth.
Half an hour later, the two departed for the hospital.
At this time of the day, the sky is slowly turning white, but the traffic onthe road has gradually increased.
Camille was sitting in the passenger seat, she looked out the carwindow and said to Ayan, "Ayan, have you seen Hance City at this timeof day?"
“I've seen it, I've seen Hance City from early morning to early morning."He said in a low voice.
Camille asked with some surprise, "When?"
"When I first took over the Simpson Group, I spent from night tomorning on the top floor of the Simpson Group because of the stress."He responded lightly, causing images of his words to subconsciouslycome to Camille's mind.
He never said anything about his past, and they never talked aboutanything related to that.
At this moment on Camille's mind she can't help but be curious: "Doyou also have stressful times? Grandpa and Dad both value you highlyand praise you constantly.”
"Grandpa even praised me with you?"
He laughed lightly.
Camille said, "Of course, Grandpa always compliments you."
"I thought he would only praise you, and as for me, this fake grandsonmight just happen to simply share his last name." Ayan made a "tsk-tsk"sound, and his words seemed to reveal a vaguely sour taste.
Camille laughed, "I'll have to pass these words of yours on to Grandpasome day."
“To please grandpa, you can even betray your own husband?" He freedone hand to smoothly take her hand and hold it in his palm.
She retorted, "I'm not pleasing, I'm letting Grandpa know how jealousyou are of me in your mind."
Ayan laughed out loud.
The two of them chatted with each other and time seemed to passquickly.
Two traffic lights away from the hospital, Ayan suddenly changed hiswords, he asked, "I have a question for you."
"Hmm?"
"If Preston really can't replace it and loses his life, will you blame me?"
He asked in a low voice, it happened to be waiting for a green light, sohe almost turned sideways to face her, the pair of dark eyes staredmomentarily, so Camille was stunned.
She asked with a tight frown, "Why are you asking this all of asudden?"
She couldn't help but ask more in her mind, was there any news fromPreston?
Ayan simply said, "It just came to me, so what's your answer?"
She asked, "Do you .... have news about him?"
"No."
"Ayan, as for now I just pray that Grandma is safe and the race can gowell, as for the rest I don't think about it that much for now.”
Camille wondered why Ayan suddenly mentioned the matter of Preston,is it to test her heart attitude towards Preston?
Her attitude toward Preston has never changed, and she has alwaysunderstood that there is a price to pay for doing the wrong thing nomatter who it is.
But her answer was not what Ayan wanted. Ayan said, "Grandma'ssurgery was successful, and as for the race, you won't have anyproblems with your ability, so it doesn't conflict with your answer at all.Camille, I want you to give me a response, will you blame me?"
He continued to press for answers, his handsome face always focusedon Camille.
She looked at him in silence, and then responded lightly, "No."Probably because she was worried that Ayan would not believe it, soshe said more: "Ayan, you didn't force him down, and you didn't forcehim to jump, it was just an accident that no one wanted to happen, sowhy should I blame you?"
Preston's accident has been many days now, she is also very worried,also silently pray that he can be safe, but this in the end because ofwhat she is not very clear, so all have to wait for Preston after the newsto be sure.
As for the conflict between Preston and Ayan, the only thing she coulddo was to be on the side of justification, but she also knew in her mindthat she was protective of her shortcomings.
After Camille's answer was finished, Ayan just gave a low "hmm" andshe didn't know if he was satisfied or dissatisfied?
Soon after arriving at the hospital, Grandma was still in the BiocleanTreatment Unit. The nurse told Camille, "You can go back to thegeneral ward after Dr. Ellis comes to check on her, Grandma is doingfine, don't worry too much."
“Thank you, sorry to bother you all."
"So kind of you Mrs. Simpson, it's all we should do."
Camille gave the nurse a small smile, then looked through the glass ather grandmother inside.
Camille didn't stay long because she had to go to the office to attendthe competition with Yessica. She told her aunt who was taking care ofher grandmother again and again that she must keep a good watch onher grandmother, and according to the time estimate, she would wakeup tonight.
She just hoped that everything would go well.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, all the designers and judges had alreadygathered at the competition site, and the whole site was crowded withpeople.
The game started at 9:30 sharp.
Camille was already in the lounge with Yessica and the others, andSienna was there too, and everyone was intensely going over everydetail and outline of the design.
They were seriously busy, and the food and drinks that Sienna hadordered for them arrived.
She came out of the lounge to pick up takeout, and as she came back,she passed by the venue organizer's rest area, she saw a familiarman's figure, then raised her foot and walked over, but before shecould get close enough, she heard a woman's sobbing voice ring out.
