Chapter 1201: Irritation

However, no one was there to help him, so he could only rely on himself. Preston took a deep breath, but before he could make any move, he received a call from his landlord. Naturally, the landlord informed him that he had to pack up and leave since he wouldn't be renewing the lease. After all, with so many people watching the house, it would be difficult to find a tenant if he continued to stay there. Preston was extremely annoyed. These people were simply adding insult to injury, and he really wanted to confront Ayan face-to-face and fight him. However, Ayan had an even bigger move waiting for him. After Ayan's live interview, Eileen also made an appearance.

Facing the camera, Eileen confessed that Preston had instructed her to approach Ayan. Therefore, all those photos and rumors were fake. As for the photo, who would bother guessing whether it was Ayan or if Ayan had turned the tables on Preston?

This time, Preston truly lost, completely and utterly. From the beginning, his apartment's door was surrounded by onlookers, and gradually, it turned into people knocking on the door. After waiting for a long time without any response, naturally, they became impatient and started knocking to disturb him and make him come out. Once they captured him on camera, it would be headline news-an irresistible temptation that no one wanted to miss.

The door continued to be pounded, and Preston's mood became increasingly irritable. At this point, he couldn't call the police because these events were already enough for the authorities to hold him responsible, especially regarding Louise's incident. That was a matter of life, and Preston was well aware of it.

After weighing his options, Preston slid down the drainpipe from the bathroom window on the first floor. He deliberately disguised himself with a hat and sunglasses. He circled around the apartment building, and a crowd had already gathered downstairs, including reporters, the curious public, and some apartment residents spectating the scene. Fortunately, his license plate hadn't been revealed; otherwise, he would have had to leave by taxi now.

Preston smoothly drove away from the apartment, thinking that he had fooled the media and the police, making everyone believe he was still inside the apartment.

However, what he didn't know was that just as he left the apartment, a commercial vehicle followed closely behind him.

Preston didn't have the spare mental energy to pay attention to the vehicle behind him. He focused on driving and checking his phone. He learned about Eileen's betrayal and couldn't help but curse, "Bitch!"

He was so angry that he unconsciously accelerated the car's speed. Preston drove further and further away, gradually leaving the city center of Hance City. The driver in the following car couldn't help but ask the man in the passenger seat, his face stern, "Where is Preston going?" The man in the passenger seat replied calmly, "Follow closely and make sure he doesn't notice. I'll call Kian to report the situation.”

When Kian received the message, he immediately informed Ayan. Kian asked, "Mr. Simpson, should we intercept him?"

"Not for now. Intercepting him at this moment won't make any difference. Let's see where he's going. Right now, he's like a rat crossing the street; he needs to find a place to stay."

"Are you suggesting that this place he's seeking shelter might be related to what he intends to do?"

"There's a possibility, but it's not entirely accurate. So, let's take one step at a time. Remember to remind our people not to let him discover them, understood?"

“I understand.” Kian nodded and immediately made the necessary arrangements.

Ayan also prepared to leave the police station because the live broadcast had ended. However, as he was about to leave, a female police officer approached him and said, "Mr. Simpson, Eileen wants to see you."

Ayan nodded expressionlessly. It was indeed necessary to meet with her.

Ayan followed the female police officer to the visitation room where Eileen was being held. It had been almost two hours since they last met here.

This time, Ayan took a seat, and Eileen's expression softened as she looked at him. She gazed at Ayan and asked, "Ayan, I've done as you said. Are you really going to drop the charges against me?"

“It's not about doing things according to my words, but about doing things according to the truth,” Ayan corrected.

Eileen's face stiffened slightly, but she immediately nodded and agreed, “Yes, we'll do things according to the truth.”

Ayan glanced at her calmly and his voice was somewhat subdued as he said, "I will drop the charges against you, but for now, you can't leave the police station.”

"Why can't I leave?" Eileen asked anxiously.

He replied, "This matter is not yet over. By not letting you leave, we are actually protecting you indirectly. Who do you think Preston would come after first in this situation? He's already been pushed to the edge. His face is famous in Hance City. He's just one step away from venting his anger on someone, and if you show up, aren't you worried that he will come after you?"

Ayan stared at Eileen without a change in expression, his clear black and white eyes fixed on her every move.

Eileen's initial reaction to these words was naturally one of surprise, but then she said, "He shouldn't do anything to me. I did what I did just to save myself."

"But if he really feels that way, won't you turn around and bite me immediately? The intensity of this matter is even higher than you imagine. That's why I can't let you leave here for now. Rest assured, the police station is safe. They won't trouble you or do anything to you. Being here is safer for you than following me!"

Ayan also needed to avoid suspicion. He had no intention of taking Eileen away with him. He was keeping an eye on Preston, and perhaps Preston had also arranged people to keep an eye on him. At this point, he couldn't afford to give Preston any ammunition.

If he took Eileen away, it would be difficult to guarantee that someone with ill intentions wouldn't capture the scene. Then all his efforts would be in vain.

Ayan didn't hide the fact that he didn't trust Eileen at all, which also stirred up Eileen's emotions. She said, "I really won't turn around and bite you. At this point, I know very well what is more important. If I really turn against you now, what about the next time? Will you let me go next time?"

“I don't want to go through unnecessary trouble or take risks, so there's no need to say more. Just stay here and rest. You haven't had a good night's sleep. Later, someone will take you to freshen up and sleep well. Once the heat of this matter subsides, I will personally send you away."

Ayan's words left no room for negotiation. He had already made up his mind, and Eileen had no choice but to comply.

She knew that saying anything more would be futile, so she simply pursed her lips and remained silent.

As Ayan stood up to leave, she hesitantly and uneasily asked, "Ayan, will you really let me go?"
