Chapter 1403 Preston raised the glass of red wine and took a sip. “Forget about it. If I push too hard, they’ll turn around and blame me. Let it go.” Anthony weighed his phone in his hand. “I have recordings as evidence. It’s not just empty words.” Preston said calmly, “Jayden defended his mother and spoke up for Harper. What can the recording prove?” Anthony rolled his eyes at him. “What did Jayden actually defend? He let his mother interrogate Miss Duke, knowing he
had a woman waiting for him overseas. And from his tone, it’s clear he didn’t really love Harper. He’s just bitter about not getting her. This recording has enough information to expose Jayden’s true colors. Why aren’t you doing anything about it?” Preston shrugged nonchalantly and swirled the wine in hist glass. “With Jayden’s silver tongue, he can turn black into white. If you bring out this recording now, Jayden will definitely say I fabricated it to ruin their relationship.” Anthony’s mind went blank for a moment. “So you’re saying we should just let it go?” Preston didn’t reply. Anthony raised an eyebrow. “This isn’t like you. You used to be fearless when it came to Miss Duke.” Based on Preston’s past behavior, he would have already confronted those who insulted Miss Duke with their words. But today, not only did he keep his cool, he even told Anthony to mind his own business. It was truly disheartening. Preston put down his wine glass and said calmly, “I’ve learned my lesson. I don’t want to end up in the hospital for another
month.” Anthony glanced at the wheelchair beside them. Preston had spinal injuries and had to rely on the wheelchair for mobility. The price he paid was indeed significant. However, Anthony asked, “Did you hear that Miss Duke wants to postpone the mating ceremony? Is that why you’re pretending not to be in a hurry?” Preston chuckled self-deprecatingly. “What’s there for me to pretend? I’ve done everything I can. If she doesn’t want to come back, then let her go. It’s not a big deal.” Listening to his indifferent tone, it seemed like he had truly let go. Anthony stared at him, pondered for a few seconds, and then spoke up, “I don’t know what you’re really thinking deep. down, and I can’t control that. But I’ll keep this recording just in case it becomes useful one day.” Preston didn’t reply, which was as good as agreeing. Anthony quickly put the phone in his pocket, then looked up and glanced towards the door. “By the way, the representatives from the UK are quite arrogant. I wonder how Sebastian can tolerate it.” “They wouldn’t dare to be arrogant with Sebastian. It’s only because they found out that I’ve become the new CEO of the European region that they deliberately neglected him.”
