My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1323 Means

It has been proven by facts that it is impossible, not only impossible but also made those spreading rumors completely shut their mouths.

So, this morning, all major forums were peaceful, with no negative comments about the Simpson Group. As for the rumor monger who was exposed, various photos of her purchasing phone cards surfaced. She was a vegetable seller Nanny, according to Nanny, a man gave her a hundred bucks to help him buy a card. The other party obviously anticipated the day they would be discovered, so they purposely chose a place without surveillance when contacting Nanny. However, when Nanny handed over the purchased phone card to the man, it was caught on a small surveillance camera in front of a breakfast shop. Wasn't the man inside Preston, whom the police were investigating but hadn't received any updates about?

So, everyone instantly understood that this was Preston's plan, his unwillingness to cause trouble to the Simpson Group.

As this news spread from one person to another, it caused quite a stir. Even Preston, who was staying at the welfare home, got wind of it.

He was infuriated. He thought that by doing this, Ayan would show up, revealing what Ayan was up to. At the same time, it would cause trouble for Ayan, making him speechless. After all, Ayan was the president of the Simpson Group. If he fell seriously ill, would the internal organization of Simpson Group and the companies that treated it as a competitor be able to sit still?

The sneeze of a company president can cause a slight disturbance to the company, let alone the Simpson Group, a big enterprise that attracts everyone's attention.

So, he seized upon this point, wanting to create trouble for Ayan. However, this purpose also failed. Preston's mood was terrible, his expression on his face was extremely ugly. But even though everything was going wrong, he would still push all the blame onto others, such as the Armstrong family or Ayan.

He would never think that this was his own problem. He called Brody directly and coldly interrogated him, "Where is Ayan?"

Brody, feeling subconsciously guilty, still replied sternly, "Of course, he is at home, at Camille's house."

"Why doesn't he show up when such a big thing happens? What does he want to do?" he questioned.

Brody felt restless, saying, "Isn't his secretary speaking on his behalf?" Kian did come forward. After all, as Ayan's secretary, he was the one who spent the most time with Ayan. If he could show up, why couldn't Ayan himself? This was something Preston couldn't convince himself of.

So, faced with Brody's words, Preston couldn't listen.

He didn't believe Brody and asked, "Tell me, did you really see Ayan and have dinner with him?"

"Of course, isn't that true?" Brody couldn't admit that he hadn't actually seen Ayan. If he told Preston at this moment that he didn't actually see Ayan, with Preston's cunning, he would definitely add another accusation against him. So, Brody wouldn't do that. He was hoping that Ayan, seeing his good performance this time, would speak up for him when Preston eventually released those videos.

Brody also understood that Preston wouldn't release the original video for the time being, but not permanently, as he finally caught something that could threaten him. Why would he let it go so easily?

Brody's answer didn't dispel Preston's suspicions. Preston indifferently said, "Mr. Armstrong, since you had dinner with Ayan, why didn't he show up? What does he want to do? You go find out for me. After all, you are his father-in-law, and this is a small matter for Mr. Armstrong." Preston's way of boosting Brody to actively seek out Ayan was unique. Had Preston's inner turmoil led him to be unable to understand Ayan and know what Ayan was up to? So, he had to use other means to draw Ayan out?

Brody wanted to refuse without thinking, but Ayan said, "Mr. Armstrong, you have no position in Armstrong Corp right now. Horace has full control now. Do you really want to continue like this? It's your family's company, but you have to follow someone else's orders for everything. Honestly, if it were me, I would have a hard time swallowing this situation.”

Preston knew clearly the points Brody cared about and the kind of person he was. Every word he said was a direct stab at Brody's heart, leaving Brody at a loss for how to respond.

Perhaps feeling that these words weren't heavy enough, he asked, "Mr. Armstrong, can you really bear it? Or have you completely given up the management rights of Armstrong Corp? Are you okay with letting an outsider like Horace dictate and control Armstrong Corp without any complaints or objections? Because you can't say no, as Horace is younger and more capable than you. Are you willing to accept this fact that your company now belongs to someone else?"

"Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Armstrong, isn't this essentially handing someone else a wedding dress? You have put in a lot of effort for Armstrong Corp. if you continue like this, will Armstrong Corp have to change its name in the future?" Preston's words were like slaps hitting Brody's face, making him wince in pain, unable to ignore these words as if they were just air.

Brody kept silent, and the atmosphere gradually became more tense and heavy.

After a while of silence, Brody finally said, "The company is Armstrong Corp's forever, will always be Armstrong Corp's, even though Horace is managing Armstrong Corp now, but Armstrong Corp will always be names Armstrong, not names Burris."

"Mr. Armstrong, are you so sure? Don't you think everything is not always one hundred percent certain?" Preston lightly laughed and continued to jab at Brody's heart, saying, "Mr. Armstrong, Armstrong Corp is now cooperating with Ayan on two projects. The benefits these two projects will bring to Armstrong Corp, I believe Mr. Armstrong, you are well aware. With this development, Armstrong Corp will surely surpass its previous state. Are you really content with this situation?" Brody cared deeply about Armstrong Corp. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to Preston's request to have him join the company to keep Horace in check. Brody's thoughts were simple. He hoped that Horace's arrival would bring endless benefits to Armstrong Corp. At the same time, he wanted someone who could restrain Horace and remind him of his place. Although Horace had brought a lot to Armstrong Corp and made it much better than before, in Brody's heart, he still wanted to tell Horace that he was an outsider. So, upon hearing Preston's words, there was definitely no wave in his heart. But what could he do?
