My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 1304 Hidden

Chapter 1304 Hidden

Camille pursed her lips and looked calmly, gradually finding an answer in her heart.

She said, "When comparing Ayan with others, you should think carefully about who is more relentless in hurting the Armstrong family and who has spared the Armstrong family multiple times out of consideration for me. I believe you know the weight of each, as for Ayan, he is indeed busy, and coupled with the recent disputes and unpleasantness between us, I don't want to help you arrange a meeting with him."

Camille's excuse was so reasonable that it left no room for doubt. Brody fell silent, which only made Camille more convinced that Brody must have been threatened by someone.

So, who could it be?

An image subconsciously appeared in Camille's mind, and a faint smirk tugged at the corner of her mouth. He really is everywhere, isn't he? In order to find out if Ayan is really in Hance City as stated in the itinerary she provided, he even resorted to threatening Brody. It must be quite challenging for him.

Camille's gaze turned cold, filled with a chilling indifference. Her voice became even colder as she spoke to Brody, "It's better for everyone, especially for the Armstrong family, to know as little as possible about Ayan's affairs. If you want to help someone at the expense of betraying Ayan, I suggest you abandon that idea."

“I don't know what you're talking about. Don't make baseless claims." “You know very well if it's baseless or not. Let's put an end to this matter."

After Camille finished speaking, she stood up and left, having already had enough conversation with Brody. Whether he listened or not was his own business.

Camille walked out of the meeting room, and surprisingly, Brody didn't try to stop her. Perhaps he had taken Camille's words to heart?

Back in her office, Camille saw Sienna and Yessica still staring at the surveillance footage on their phones. It didn't take long after Camille returned to her office that Brody stood up and left.

Sienna finally put down her phone and said, "He's gone too."

"Yes," Camille responded lightly, her expression unusually cold. Sienna asked, "What does he want to do? Why did he ask about Ayan's whereabouts?"

Camille looked up and met Sienna's eyes. Her voice lacked warmth as she replied, "It was Preston's idea. Preston threatened him through an online video to meet Ayan. I guess he's afraid that the unedited original video might be leaked, so he had no choice but to comply.”

After all, Brody was not someone who would willingly engage in a losing business. If he hadn't been cornered and didn't know what to do, how could he have agreed to Preston's demands?

However, Camille had a certain understanding of both Brody and Preston, knowing their thoughts and calculations.

Sienna nodded approvingly and said, "You're really smart to figure all that out. So, what's the plan now? Will Mr. Armstrong cooperate with you, or will you honestly tell Preston everything you said?"

"He won't," Camille affirmed confidently. She continued, "He won't. You have to understand that he knows who Preston is and who Ayan is. Perhaps Ayan can lend him a hand in his most desperate moments, but Preston won't. Although he is selfish and self-centered, Preston is even more so. If someone of his age still hasn't grasped this distinction, then they deserve to be manipulated.”

"You're straightforward, not leaving him any face at all!!!" Sienna chuckled and nodded.

Camille remained silent. She had nothing more to say about this matter. Her expression remained extremely cold. As for how Brody would respond to Preston, that was his own business.

When Brody left Camille's company, he naturally went straight back to the Armstrong family. Today, he was driven by a chauffeur because his health didn't allow him to drive on his own after the serious illness. With the online video and everything else, Brody's mood was extremely gloomy.

Just now, Brody didn't get anything good from Camille. His expression was extremely ugly, and he remained silent, without making any sound or movement.

The driver asked in a low voice, "Mr. Armstrong, are we going straight home?"

Brody stayed silent for a while before finally saying, "Home."

The driver nodded. Although he had been with Brody for many years, he still needed to be extremely careful in front of him. The driver had a family to support, and his daughter was studying for a master's degree. There were many expenses, so naturally, he didn't want to lose this job. Brody returned home, and Preston received the news immediately. How could Brody not be suspicious about this?

Page was also at home, and naturally, there would be no conversation between them. Brody went straight upstairs to his study, and the next second, his phone rang.

Of course, it was Preston calling.

Preston asked directly, "Mr. Armstrong, any results? Did you meet Ayan?"

"Well, no. Ayan will be back home in the evening. I'll go over to his place later for dinner."

"Is that so?"

"Of course." Brody remained calm. He said, "What do you want me to do by meeting Ayan?"

"Mr. Armstrong, this is my own business, so you don't need to interfere. You just need to meet Ayan and let me know. You don't have to do anything else, and there's no need to worry that I will use you to deal with Ayan."

Preston was well aware of Brody's concerns and fears. He was worried that Ayan would cause him trouble if he found out about this. He didn't want to bear any unnecessary trouble and only wanted to enjoy the benefits without taking any risks.

Anyone who knew Brody understood his thoughts and knew that he couldn't hide them. After Preston finished speaking, they didn't continue chatting. Brody, who ended the call, leaned back in his seat and remained silent for a long time. It wasn't until around 6 o'clock in the evening that he took another car to Franklin Bay.

Camille saw him with an indifferent expression, but Brody said, "Preston wants me to meet Ayan. I told him we'll have dinner together tonight. Since you don't want me to see Ayan, I had no choice but to come here."

Brody also told Camille about the people from Preston in his house. He said to Camille, "Try to persuade your mother to cooperate a bit. It won't do her any good if the family's affairs keep spreading.”

Camille didn't say anything, but since Brody had come to their house, they couldn't just ignore him. They still had to serve him a meal.

Brody sighed helplessly. He hadn't eaten yet, so he asked the nanny to prepare two more dishes. Then the two of them sat at the dining table and started eating.

This was Brody's first ime coming here, and it was also the first time Camille and Brody had dinner alone together. Previously, they would either have Page with them or other people from the Simpson family. In any case, it was the first time they were having dinner alone.

Both of them remained silent at the dining table, but compared to their previous confrontations, this time they were “getting along friendly." After all, there were no arguments, so it was a pretty good outcome. They spent nearly forty minutes on this meal. Brody had a good appetite, and he ate slowly, probably to deliberately prolong the time. Otherwise, if they finished dinner too quickly and there was still some time left, he would probably have to find other ways to pass the time, which would feel quite uncomfortable.
