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.

“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?
“You better think hard if you got drunk and messed around
with some other woman,” Kate said.
“That’s impossible!”
Preston wanted to deny it, but in that moment, he
remembered getting drunk a while ago.
However, after waking up in his apartment, there was no woman lying next to him. It couldn’t be true,
right?

She angrily let go of Preston’s ear and, with a mix of frustration and resentment, pointed at his nose,

out his phone. He scrolled through his contacts and found Anthony’s number.

engagement, were you the one who drove me home on the night I chose Harper?”
Anthony, with one hand supporting his temple, furrowed his brows and thought for a long time before
shaking his head…
“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.
