Chapter 132
Cynthia was sitting on the couch, viewing a variety show pitch
She glanced over in that direction and saw the caller ID showing it was Mom.
Preston’s mom” she wondered.
Cynthia hadn’t planned on answering it, but after a while, the phone kept ringing over and over again..
Cynthia picked up Preston’s phone, wondering if she should answer it for him.
“What if it’s something urgent? she thought.
Suddenly, the bathroom door opened.
Startled, Cynthia accidentally swiped the phone.
To her surprise, she had answered Preston’s call.
Of course, Preston, who had just come out of the bathroom, saw this as well.
His expression suddenly changed dramatically.
Without saying a word, he quickly walked over.
He snatched the phone from Cynthia’s hand and ended the call immediately.
After hanging up, he hurried to the balcony
Then he dialed a number. “Uncle, I need your help. My mom is definitely going to track me through my phone. Can you change my IP address within a minute?”
Cynthia had no idea what Preston was talking about. She just knew she shouldn’t have answered that call. It might cause
trouble for Preston
Not long after, Preston came back inside.
Cynthia apologized, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have touched your phone”
Preston suddenly gave a bright smile, “It’s no big deal. I didn’t want to answer my mom’s call anyway. She’s too chatty
“You just mentioned… your uncle?” asked Cynthia.
Preston nodded. “Yes, my uncle is also in Roncrity, but he’s busy working and doesn’t have time to watch over me
“I didn’t want to bother him, but now he knows I’m here. He’s coming to the bar where I perform tonight. Cynthia, he found out you took me in and wants to treat you to dinner.
When Preston talked about his uncle, his face seemed to light up.
Are you close to this uncle?” asked Cynthia.
Preston said, “My uncle has always been my idol. I’ve looked up to him since I was a kid. He graduated from a top university and works at a big company now. He’s really impressive.”
Preston sounded a bit proud. “And he’s quite handsome too.”

Chapter 132-
Cynthia chuckled, imagining a sophisticated and charming middle–aged man in her mind.
“Cynthia, come to the bar tonight. I’ll introduce you to my uncle Preston said.
Cynthia didn’t hesitate. “Sure, I’ll come and support you.”
To Cynthia, Preston was like a cute younger brother.
Since he had been living alone away from home, she naturally felt the need to take extra care of him.
Besides, Preston was now performing at a bar called LunaSea Clab
It was actually a quiet bar. The atmosphere was really nice.
Cynthia used to go there occasionally for a drink.
The best part was, it was close to the TV station, so she could just walk there after work.
At half past seven, Cynthia finished her broadcast.
She was planning to tidy up and head to LunaSea Club.
Just then, she got a call from Naomi.
“Cynthia, I’ve officially moved to Roncrity! Aren’t you surprised Naomi said excitedly.
Cynthia was indeed thrilled since Naomi had mentioned moving before. Yet, Naomi had to deal with some minor matters, which delayed the move for more than half a month.
“Where are you right now?” asked Cynthia
“I’m at the airport. Can you come pick me up?” said Naomi
Cynthia agreed, “Okay, wait for me.”
Meanwhile, when Preston finished his performance, he saw a familiar figure standing in the crowd.
Preston quickly ran over to that person and stopped in front of the tall figure.
“Uncle,” Preston said happily and excitedly.
‘Mr. Sullivan, weren’t you in Iugrea?” It was Claude who was speaking
He had been tracking Preston’s whereabouts recently, but all the clues indicated he was in lugrea.
Then, just two hours ago, Jonathan received a call from Preston
It turned out he accidentally answered Whitney’s call. Whitney would definitely track his location
He asked Jonathan to have someone block the tracker and change his location. This trivial matter was handled quickly.
And Jonathan even changed the location to Pareveth.
“When did you come to Roncrity, and why didn’t you tell me?” Jonathan suddenly spoke.
Preston scratched his head. “I’ve been here for a week. Uncle, I’m not here for you.
this time.”
Jonathan raised an eyebrow. “So, is it for the girl who’s been taking care of you?”

Chapter 132
A slight blush appeared on Preston’s cheeks, but he didn’t answer Jonathan’s question directly.
“Uncle, she’s coming over tonight too. I’ll introduce you to her,” said Preston.
But after seeing Jonathan, Preston frowned again and said, “Uncle, you just pretend to be a regular company executive. alright? She doesn’t like rich people.”
Jonathan chuckled, “Are you sure she doesn’t know your identity Or is she just playing hard to get?”
Preston said discontentedly, “Uncle, don’t be suspicious of everytme. How many people in the world know my real identity?”
That was indeed true. Preston had a special status, with the bloodline of both the Bennett family and the Sullivan family, and as the eldest grandson in both families. His status was naturally invaluable, but such a status naturally drew a lot of
attention
To ensure his safety, as well as to train and nurture him, Whitney had him live abroad since he was a child, under the guise of an ordinary person.
He only came back for a few days during holidays or for a senior family member’s birthday.
And he never appeared in the media.
Only a few people in certain circles knew his name.
There were never any
any reports
about him in the media.
In Betrico, not many knew his identity, and even fewer had seen him. Not to mention a place like Roncrity.
Preston continued, “Besides, she isn’t like what you’re saying.”
“Is she older than you?” asked Jonathan.
Preston nodded. “Yeah, she’s a few years older, but… she’s really beautiful…”
Preston seemed a bit shy. “She’s a looker.”
Jonathan looked frustrated, “I’ve told you that temptation can be dangerous since you were young. Your status is unique Don’t get infatuated. The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she might be. Stay cautious.
Preston scoffed, “Why are you nagging more than my mom?
“Anyway, when she comes later, be nice and don’t sc
her.
Jonathan didn’t say anything.
Looking at Preston’s expression, he felt a hint of worry inside.
JE was
as showing signs of his first crush. He was smitten.
Clearly.
Preston
They waited for a while, but Cynthia didn’t show up.
Instead, Preston received a message from Cynthia.
The message was just a few short words. (Sorry, something came up tonight. I can’t make it.]
There was no further explanation:
A flicker of disappointment quickly spread in Preston’s eyes

Jonathan also saw the message. He gave a slight smirk.
If this woman knew Preston’s identity, she must be quite a formidable woman.
Jonathan ordered two drinks and handed him one. “Does your mom know you’re in a relationship?”
Preston said, “Of course, she doesn’t know. Uncle, you have to keep it a secret for me. Don’t tell my mom.”
Preston took a sip of his drink. “And my crush doesn’t even know I like her yet.”
“So when do you plan on telling her?” asked Jonathan.
Preston thought for a moment. “I plan to confess here tomorrow. Uncle, I need your help setting up the place.”
