Chapter 332: Chapter 332: I Like Her, Did You Hear That?
The other side.
At the entrance of Ariana Grant’s residential complex.
Assistant Mark dialed Warren Prescott’s phone number, and the call was quickly answered.
"Mr. Prescott Jr., I’ve safely escorted Miss Shaw and Miss Grant home."
"Mm."
"How are things going on your end?"
"Not bad."
Seeing that Warren Prescott didn’t seem inclined to say more, Assistant Mark dared not press further, and changed the topic: "I’ll head back to Spectator now."
"At this hour, what are you going back for? Is the company your home?"
"Weren’t you the one who asked me to stop by Spectator and drop off Miss Shaw and the others on the way?"
"Suit yourself, if you want to live at the company, go ahead."
With that, Warren Prescott abruptly ended the call.
Assistant Mark realized belatedly.
Mr. Prescott Jr. hadn’t told him to return to Spectator; the emphasis was on "dropping them off on the way."
He suddenly had an epiphany and couldn’t help but knock on his head.
So stupid!
He’s been following Mr. Prescott Jr. for two months, and still hasn’t grasped it.
It’s not right, he should go back to the company and reflect.
The choiceless worker Mark quickly pressed down the gas pedal, and the car sped towards Spectator Tower.
Meanwhile, Warren Prescott had just finished dealing with Zoe Hayes’ matter.
Zoe Hayes had a fierce argument with the deputy’s daughter, one was already in a bad mood so stubbornly refused to apologize.
The other wanted no compensation, only the other’s apology.
Warren Prescott stood by appearing to act as a mediator, but in reality was fanning the flames.
After going back and forth, the two ended up quarreling with flushed faces, and finally, the deputy himself arrived at the scene and sternly scolded Hank Hayes. The deputy left with a stern face.
Although the deputy didn’t say anything explicitly, the tone was quite obvious.
Hank Hayes’ position seems unstable.
After hanging up on Assistant Mark, Lars Prescott called to inquire about the situation.
Warren Prescott only emphasized the incident between Zoe Hayes and the deputy’s daughter and didn’t mention a word about Ashley Shaw.
This is his territory, he’s not afraid Lars Prescott will dig deep.
Besides, a spat between two young girls isn’t anything worth investigating.
Lars Prescott on the other end sounded implicitly annoyed: "Hank Hayes is reliable enough, but I didn’t expect his daughter to be so out of line!"
Warren Prescott said, "It happened suddenly, I didn’t expect it either."
"Ah! Forget it, let’s not interfere, let them resolve it themselves. If we really have to switch people again, at worst we can host another event."
That’s exactly what Warren Prescott was waiting to hear.
"Mm, I understand."
After the call, Warren Prescott stepped toward the entrance of The Nocturne.
Despite the hour, The Nocturne was still quite crowded. Upon seeing Warren Prescott, people nodded in greeting.
He wore a neat black suit, giving off the impression of "keep away" at first glance.
But if you looked closely, you’d see the usual coldness on his face seemed to have melted, showing an unusual kind of amiable demeanor, clearly indicating a good mood.
However, right at this moment, his phone rang again, displaying Xavier Quincy’s name.
Warren Prescott paused slightly, the light in his eyes dimming a little.
The call connected, and Warren Prescott seemed to carry a hint of laughter in his voice.
"Leo, did you get home?"
"Mm, how’s it going over where you are? The manager said you went to handle something, did it get resolved?"
"Just finished handling it."
"That’s good."
Xavier Quincy paused and said, "You heard the conversation I had with Owen Sinclair at the time, right?"
Warren Prescott moved his lips, initially intending to deny it, but hearing the certainty in the other’s tone, he simply said, "Mm."
"I heard. So?"
"Ashley is your sister, so I thought I should at least give you a heads up. So you won’t be surprised if I pursue her later."
Warren Prescott’s gaze darkened like the sky.
"Don’t worry, I won’t be surprised. She’s indeed a great girl."
On the other end, Xavier Quincy was a bit surprised but couldn’t help but ask, "When did you two start getting along? I remember before I went abroad, you were still..."
"Before, there was some misunderstanding between us, but it’s cleared up now."
"So what do you mean for Ashley now?"
Warren Prescott retorted, "What do I mean?"
He opened the car door and sat inside, connecting the phone to the car’s Bluetooth, and Xavier Quincy’s voice came through.
"Don’t tell me you’ve also started liking her?"
"Why would you say that?"
"Nothing, I just don’t want a woman to affect the relationship between us brothers. So I wanted to ask in advance."
Warren Prescott smirked, "So, if I like her too, you won’t pursue her?"
Xavier Quincy said, "I didn’t say that."
"Then what’s the point of your question?"
"I..."
"Leo." Warren Prescott interrupted him, saying, "Come handle your girlfriend’s issue, and then we can talk about this."
On the other end, Xavier Quincy narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Warren Prescott’s lips curved slightly, "The manager told me that a girl named Anna came with you to The Nocturne. Just because she didn’t have a membership card, she couldn’t get in."
Xavier Quinby’s face instantly turned frosty.
"When did this happen?"
"While you were having dinner in the private room."
Xavier Quincy took a light breath and said, "I got it, thanks for the heads-up."
"Hanging up."
Warren Prescott ended the call, eyes filled with frustration.
He had only recently figured out his own feelings for Ashley Shaw, why are people suddenly all focusing on her?
If he’d known earlier, he shouldn’t have let her leave home.
If she hadn’t left home, hadn’t dressed up, would it still be like before, wouldn’t they be focused on her, and she would belong to him alone?
...
Meanwhile, Ariana Grant had just gotten home and immediately opened Spectator Live.
At the same time, Ashley Shaw, after taking a shower, also opened the live stream to watch.
She’s still betting with Warren Prescott.
Warren Prescott bet that after Leon Zeller left the team, it would bring more trouble to the members.
Ashley Shaw bet it wouldn’t.
Entering Leon Zeller’s live stream room.
His leg was obviously still not healed and even seemed to be getting worse.
It’s just that every now and then he would receive a "surprise," like finding neatly placed wild fruits on his way to search for food.
Like when struggling to start a fire, turning back to find a roughly made fire starter appeared out of thin air.
Ashley Shaw exited Leon Zeller’s live stream room and entered the live streams of other Stardust Team members.
Only to see that they were focused on how to send supplies to Leon Zeller.
Because their energy was divided, the team’s survival quality was noticeably lower than other teams’.
Even more primitive compared to the solo survival guest.
Ashley Shaw felt overwhelmed.
Could it really be as Warren Prescott said, that after Leon Zeller left the team, he ended up causing more trouble for the Stardust Team?
Not only Ashley was worried, but the comment section was also calling for Leon Zeller to quickly rejoin the team or to just quit the competition.
At this moment, a WeChat message popped up.
It was from Warren Prescott.
