Chapter 755 Lost Face
In the bustling city, there was a luxurious vi with arge courtyard. The owner of the vi was a
wealthy businessman named Zhang Cheng. He had made his fortune through various business
ventures and lived avish lifestyle.
However, despite his wealth and sess, Zhang Cheng had one weakness - he cared deeply about
his reputation. He couldn''t bear to lose face in front of others and would go to great lengths to protect it.
One day, while attending an important business meeting with several other businessmen, Zhang
Cheng received some bad news. One of his investments had failed miserably, resulting in a significant
loss of money.
Zhang Cheng was devastated by this news and immediately left the meeting without saying anything.
He rushed back to his vi and locked himself in his room for days on end.
During this time, rumors began to spread throughout the city that Zhang Cheng''s business empire was
crumbling. People started talking behind his back and questioning whether he was truly as sessful
as he imed to be.
Zhang Cheng couldn''t bear the shame of losing face in front of others. He became increasingly
paranoid and reclusive, refusing to leave his vi or see anyone else.
As time passed by, Zhang Cheng''s once-great reputation began to crumble awaypletely. His
businesses failed one after another until he eventually lost everything he had worked so hard for.
In the end, all that remained were whispers about how one man''s obsession with protecting his own
image led him down a path towards ruin and despair - an unfortunate lesson for anyone who values
their reputation above all else.
Molly''s words surprised and shocked Luke and Naomi.
Naomi couldn''t believe it and said, "Are you lying? Are you trying to deceive us?"
Molly replied, "If you don''t believe me, there''s nothing I can do."
Molly had a cold expression on her face with no glimmer in her eyes. It was hard to tell if what she said
was true or false.
Luke and Naomi looked at each other before Luke took a deep breath and asked, "You''re going to
marry him?"
"I''m already pregnant with his child. What else can I do?" Molly replied.
"What about him? Does he want to marry you?" Luke asked tly.
Molly didn''t answer immediately. She repeated the question in her mind. Did he want to marry her?
With pursed lips, Molly finally answered, "Of course!"
Luke let out a disappointedugh. He said, "Great! This is my daughter who I''ve cherished so much in
my hands! You''re cruel to me and your mother for this man! You''d rather give up your family for him?"
Molly remained silent.
Luke continued speaking sternly,"Since you insist on being with Preston, then don''t regret it. If you
choose Preston over us then we''ll cut all ties!"
After Luke spoke those words Molly also fell silent.
She looked at Luke incredulously as tears rolled down her cheeks while Naomi cried silently beside
them.
Their attitudes were firm; they had probably discussed this before Molly returned home.
They wanted to force Molly into breaking things offpletely with Preston through this method.
The Walker family wasn''t the top-tier elite but they were one of the old aristocratic families of Flento
City''s elite circle; an old enterprise that had been around for years now.
Whoever Molly would find as a husbandter would have to be able match their status ordingly too.
As for Preston Mr. and Mrs. Walker didn''t think he was good enough for their daughter because of his
behavior which they did not approve of so they refused outrightly too when approached by him or even
by their daughter about marriage proposals from him
After hearing what Luke said, Molly remained quiet until she whispered softly,"You want to cut all ties
with me?"
Luke persisted with a cold face, saying, "If that''s how you feel, then so be it. If you insist on being with
Preston, then from now on we the Walker family will no longer have a daughter like you. Do as you
please, but do you know what? You deceived us into sending you abroad for further studies. This has
made me and your mother lose face!"
Luke raised his hand and pped himself hard in the face. Despite having been in the business world
for many years, no one had ever spoken to him like this before.
Faced with Luke''s emotions, Molly was also at a loss for words because Luke had never said such
harsh words before. She began to feel anxious and scared.
"Why don''t you agree?" Molly asked. "Preston is someone that the Walker family personally chose to
adopt into our family. You were satisfied with him at first; that''s why he was adopted right? Why won''t
you let us be together now? Why?"
"Molly," Luke replied sternly. "Your mother and I only adopted Preston to support his education so that
he could treat you well as if he were your own brother or sister when taking over Walker Group and
everything rted to the Walker family in the future! We never said anything about letting him marry
into our family! If he had any gratitude whatsoever in his heart, he wouldn''t have left us behind just like
that when going off to Hance City with Camille! We''ve really raised an ungrateful person!"
Naomi was also very emotional about this situation - especially when she thought about how Preston
abandoned everything they taught him at Walker Group after bing sessful there just so he
could start anew in Hance City alongside Camille - they couldn''t bear it.
They felt like not only did they raise an ungrateful person but also someone who would use their
teachings against them if given half a chance.
This kind of person didn''t show any gratitude or consideration towards them; how could they trust such
a person? Naomi used Preston of all these things while Molly remained oblivious – she couldn''t
believe it nor did she want to believe it: "No way," she said firmly "Preston can''t possibly be this kind of
person; there''s no way he''d abandon The Walkers."
Luke didn''t want to hear any more from Preston. He grabbed a ss of water and smashes it on the
floor. Then he calls the servant: "Get her out of here. We don''t have anyone like that in the Walker
family. From now on, when shees home, she doesn''t have to open the door.
Luke wasn''t just talking. After giving instructions to the servant, he immediately got up and went
upstairs, taking Naomi with him.
The elderly couple made this decision out of necessity, as Molly refused to turn back no matter what.
The servants were also in a difficult position. Although Luke''s words were decisive, Molly was still their
daughter, so they couldn''t really drive her away. They began to persuade her: "Miss, you should talk to
Madam and Sir properly. They won''t harm you. As parents, they only want the best for their children.
They are worried about you being so determined to be with Mr. Chu!"
Molly remained silent and sat on the sofa for a long time. She didn''t stay long with the Walker family,
and now Luke and Naomi refused to talk to her properly. They were probably even angry just at the
sight of her. So she left the Walker''s Vi and found a nearby hotel to temporarily stay in.
Molly hasn''t contacted Preston. She wants to wait for him to remember her and reach out to her on his
own, because she has already taken the initiative too many times. However, Preston has always been
very indifferent towards her, which has made her doubt his sincerity towards her more than once. But
every time, she convinces herself otherwise. This time, she is determined to hold out.
As soon as Molly left the Walker family and moved into a hotel, someone immediately told Kian.
Kian also immediately reported the news to Ayan, saying, "It seems that Molly and the Walker family
haven''te to an agreement. I specifically had someone inquire with their servants and found out
that Mr. and Mrs. Walker don''t want Molly to be with Preston and are forcing her to break up by cutting
off ties."
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
Ayan nodded and said, "Then let''s give Mr. and Mrs. Walker Preston''s pictures along with the others
since Molly is unwilling to do anything. Let Mr. and Mrs. Walker do it for her."
"Will Mr. and Mrs. Walker be able to ept the impact on their health?"
"No way, Molly is the only daughter of the Walker family. They still have to work hard to wake up their
love-struck daughter!"
Ayan''s n is understood by Kian, but he expresses some concern and asks, "Mr. Simpson, what if
Preston doesn''t respond to our calls?"
"He doesn''t know how to handle it. So many things have happened one after another, if Preston is still
indifferent, then he is not the same Preston anymore. Although he can remain calm, being provoked
repeatedly will eventually push anyone to do something."
Ayan is very confident, especially when ites to people like Preston. He definitely won''t sit back and
take this loss lying down.
Kian sent Luke photos of Preston and another woman in an anonymous email that day. After hearing
that Luke saw these photos, he almost went straight to Hance City to kill Preston.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Luke had a big temper tantrum and immediately called Molly back to the Walker family.
Luke threw the photos in front of Molly, pointed them in her nose and asked, "Did you know he was
seeing someone else? Are you gonna stick with this guy after all this? Go and get rid of that baby at
once, you''re not going to have it!"
Luke''s words were decisive, and he immediately asked Naomi to take Molly to the hospital.
