Chapter 1657
Harper looked expressionless as she stared at Kate.
"I didn't ask for your son's life, so stop blaming everything on me," she said before turning and walking away. But Kate's cool voice echoed from behind her.
"Did my son hurt you?"
That day, Harper had told Preston, "You know what you did wrong, so why make me be the one to confront you? Can't you at least save some face?"
The implied meaning of her words clearly indicated that Preston had done something to hurt her. Kate wasn't entirely sure, but she decided to probe further, causing Harper to pause in her tracks.
"You should go ask your son about this matter," Harper said before walking away briskly.
Silas would be able to walk tomorrow, so she needed to quickly pick out the best functional wheelchair.
Kate watched Harper's diminishing figure for a few seconds before swiftly turning around and heading back to the hotel.
Upon returning to the hotel, Kate's first action was to use her bag to hit Preston, who was lying motionless on the bed.
"Preston, you jerk! It was clearly your fault, yet you made me take the blame?"
For the past few days, she had thought their breakup was her fault for meddling, but little did she know that Preston was the one who had wronged Harper first!
Preston, still lying on the bed, heard her words and furrowed his brows slightly, but he couldn't be bothered to respond to Kate.
Seeing that he continued to ignore her, Kate approached and grabbed his ear.
"I just went to ask Harper if you did something to upset her, and she told me to come back and ask you!"
"This is basically admitting that you did something to upset her. Tell me clearly, what happened?!"
Preston, utterly confused, looked at Kate with innocent eyes.
"When did I do something to hurt her?"
After they broke up, he hadn't been with anyone else, so how could he have upset her?
"I don't remember... Aren't you good at holding your liquor? Why would you need me to drive you home?"
Yeah, Preston had a high tolerance for alcohol and had never been drunk enough to need Anthony to drive him home. But that night, he was so happy and drank too much, which is why he didn't remember how he got home.
Preston ended the call and quickly dialed his assistant.
"Immediately pull up the surveillance footage from the night of the 27th last month when I left the hotel."
His assistant was efficient and quickly retrieved the footage, sending it to Preston.
When Preston saw Elsie's figure appear in the video, his heart sank, and Kate, who was next to him, became even more furious.
"See, it was your own fault!"
Preston continued watching the surveillance footage and saw himself passed out on the ground, with Elsie helping him into the car.
So, it turned out that Elsie was the one who drove him home...
