    Chapter 1226: Movement and Stillness


    Ayan''s expression became somewhat gloomy, and he said indifferently, "They can meet, but you have


    to inform him in advance that after the meeting, Sean can only stay with him temporarily. If news of his


    release spreads, he will immediately be sent back to prison, and I won''t intervene anymore."


    Kian replied, "I understand. I willmunicate with him in advance. But I can''t help but wonder, at this


    point, are Elijah and Sean really helping Preston?"


    "Can you be sure?" Ayan said apathetically, "Don''t forget, the Armstrong family hasn''t held Elijah


    ountable until now. If they had initially directed all their focus on Elijah, he wouldn''t have been able


    toe out. Hemitted economic crimes, and Armstrong Corp almost disappeared because of him.


    The Armstrong family cares deeply about Armstrong Corp. Even with such a big incident, they haven''t


    taken any action against Elijah. I can''t help but suspect that the Armstrong family may have some


    leverage or some form of cooperation with Elijah."


    This question still had no movement or response, and the Armstrong family naturally remained silent on


    the matter.


    As for Elijah, Ayan hadn''t asked him either. Currently, Brody couldn''t stir up any storms, and Ayan didn''t


    want to show too much curiosity towards Elijah, lest he be too proud and forget himself.


    Ayan''s words naturally didn''t hide anything from Camille. He said them directly in front of her without


    holding back.


    On the other end of the phone, Kian paused briefly, then responded, "Mr. Simpson, is there a possibility


    that the matter between the Armstrong family and Elijah is actually rted to Preston?"


    "It''s not impossible, but even if it''s possible, we don''t have any evidence."


    "I''m worried that if it is indeed rted to Preston, then what we''re doing now is just continuously


    strengthening Armstrong Corp. This could easily lead to nurturing a future problem!"


    Ayan, who always considered all aspects of the situation, naturally understood Kian''s concerns.


    The seriousness on his face became more evident, and his eyes became dark. After a brief silence of a


    few seconds, he said calmly, "That''s a matter for the future. Whether the tiger can be raised or not is


    still unknown, and besides, we''re on the same side as the keeper, Horace. Even if the tiger bes a


    problem, the keeper will solve it for us."


    The topic between Ayan and Kian became overly heavy. The issue of Preston had been troubling Ayan


    for a long time, and there was very little information that could be found about this person who seemed


    to have appeared out of thin air.


    He didn''t know if this matter would be a prolonged battle.


    If it was, how long would itst?


    If it wasn''t, what would be the solution?


    Camille also sensed Ayan''s emotions. She gently held his hand and asked in a soft voice, "Is there


    anything I can do?"


    Ayan ced his phone aside and gently ced his hand on the back of Camille''s hand, holding it. He


    said, "Just stay happily by my side."


    Camille nodded lightly and said, "No matter when, no matter what happens, I hope you won''t hide


    anything from me. As you said, we are one, and we need to face everything together with honesty."


    "Of course!"


    The two smiled at each other and continued walking forward on the road.


    The phone call didn''t bother Ayan for too long. As for Elijah, Kian informed him the next day at the


    Kian said that when Elijah saw his son, he was overwhelmed with heavy emotions. Sean appeared


    Elijah asked Sean what had happened, but Sean couldn''t say a word and just shook his head.


    Elijah had no choice but to turn to Kian and ask, "Kian, what happened? Why has my son be like


    this?"


    Kian had certainly investigated the matter, so he naturally knew what had happened to Sean. However,


    he wouldn''t speak up proactively, as all proactive actions were considered worthless, especially when


    dealing with people who didn''t appreciate it in the first ce.


    When all of Elijah''s expectations were ced on Kian, he finally spoke in a low voice, "Mr. rke, your


    son indeed got into some trouble, but there''s a mastermind behind all of this. I believe you have some


    guesses about the person''s name. As for what you want to do, Mr. Simpson''s suggestion is that we


    don''t get involved or offer any opinions. Everything should be based on your decision."


    Although Kian didn''t directly tell Ayan that Preston was behind everything, Elijah''s heart was already


    aware of it, just as Kian had said. He had anticipated this, but he didn''t dare to face and admit it.


    Kian''s wordspletely silenced Elijah, and his face became as gloomy as if it could drip water.


    Seeing him like this, Kian calmly reminded him, "Mr. rke, both you and your son are in a dangerous


    situation right now. It would be best not to take any further actions at this time. The most important


    thing now is to escape this ordeal!"


    Kian informed Elijah that Ayan had arranged a doctor for Sean. This series of actions naturally stirred


    something within Elijah''s heart.


    However, it wasn''t enough topletely provoke his decision, but Kian noticed his reaction. Kian


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    truthfully told Ayan about Elijah''s situation, and Ayan didn''t have much of a reaction, just a faint smile.


    Kian couldn''t understand Ayan''s thoughts, so he asked, "Mr. Simpson, do you intend to make Elijah


    stand against Preston?"


    "Don''t you think this is the only way to make Preston panic? After all, Elijah knows Preston well and


    they are rtives. Perhaps Elijah knows Preston''s true intentions?"


    "Well, that''s a good n, but I''m worried that Elijah is too cunning. I''m afraid he might put on a facade


    for us."


    "That''s his business. Even if he puts on a facade, it doesn''t matter to us. As long as he is not being


    used by Preston, it''s enough."


    Ayan''s eyes held a faint smile. He didn''t ce any hope in people who weren''t trustworthy, so he didn''t


    care about their reactions at all.


    As for everything he was doing now, it was just to make things difficult for Preston, to provoke him, and


    to see what Preston could actually do.


    Preston''s own situation was precarious now. This should be the lowest point, right?


    If Preston still hadn''t made any moves at this point, Ayan found it hard not to suspect that he didn''t


    have any trump cards at all. Perhaps Preston''s supposed intention ofing after Ayan was just empty


    talk?


    Because Preston wasn''t someone who kept a low profile. If he had any way out to break the current


    deadlock, he definitely wouldn''t be so quiet without any actions.


    Ayan was somewhat skeptical and asked, "What about Preston? Still no movement?"


    "Well, not for the time being. He has been staying inside and hasn''te out."


    "How are you sure he hasn''te out? Can''t he take someone else''s car?"


    "No, because the orphanage has been quiet these past few days. Besides the small truck for


    procurement, no other vehicles have entered or exited. After all, the orphanage wouldn''t have luxury


    carsing and going, and there wouldn''t be lost or abandoned children every day. And no one goes


    up there every day to pick up children, so we have records of people entering and exiting."


    Kian exined his arrangements in detail. He was also worried that Preston might find another way, so


    he had rehearsed various scenarios in his mind many times beforeing up with the current


    arrangement.
