Chapter 1220:
Presley was left speechless and furious.
Seeing her silence, Colby grew more confident. “I’m right, aren't I? You don’t need to go to the office. Just stay
home. I'll go there myself!”
Then, he ripped the buttons off Presley’s white shirt. This act was a warning to Presley, telling her that she
should go out less.
Presley watched Colby change into a suit and leave. Reflecting on Colby’s controlling behavior and realizing she
had no real opportunity to leave the house or see Bryan, Presley reluctantly returned to her room.
As soon as she got back to her room, she dialed Keaton. “How's everything going with Milford? Will he be willing
to work for us?”
“It was Barry who handled it. I'm not sure about the details. Didn't you tell him to contact directly? Since Barry
hasn’t reached out to you yet, it’s very likely that Milford has left on his own,” Keaton replied, his voice barely
audible over the background noise. The guests who had stayed at the club all night hadn’t departed yet.
“Keaton, I'm not well-acquainted with Barry. There are certain things | can’t discuss with him. However, you and |
are close. | need to tell you that if Bryan finds out you've hidden Milford and lied to him, you'll face serious

It was early morning, and Presley’s soft voice stirred something within Keaton. He quickly sought a quieter spot
and said, “But weren't you the one who urgedto deceive Mr. Dawson?”

Now, we don’t know where he is. How am | supposed to assist you now?” Presley exhaled deeply and added,
“Initially, I didn’t want to upset Bryan. But now that things have cto this... let's just drop it.”

She was about to end the call.
Keaton quickly said, “Please don’t hang up. I'll contact Barry immediately and instruct him to send Milford to
you.”
Previously, Presley had demanded they hand Milford to her, but Barry had refused. Clearly, Barry was reluctant
to do that, as he hadn't reached out to Presley for the last several days.
Presley quickly said, “What if Barry refuses to hand over Milford to me? Even if you force him, he might not
agree, and it might affect your friendship. However, if he refuses to give up Milford and Mr. Dawson finds out
about this, you'll be implicated, and it'll be too late to worry about your so-called...”
Hearing this, Keaton becincreasingly anxious. “Then, what should | do?”
“You could lie to him, right? Find out if Milford is still with him. Persuade Milford to help you do something, and
then hand him over to me,” Presley said.
Presley’s plan seemed solid, and Keaton felt relieved and grateful. He immediately agreed.
