My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 1342: Insight

Chapter 1342: Insight

Camille shook her head and said it was okay. Daisy, without giving anyone a chance to react, got into the car and instructed the driver to drive back to the hotel, showing her big temper. However, without Ayan's nod, the car wouldn't move. Sienna hurriedly walked to Camille and asked, "Are you hurt?" Camille replied that she wasn't. Sienna, infuriated, asked, "Is she insane?" Sienna's emotions were explosive, and Rex quickly reached out to hold her back, fearing she might rush to pull Daisy out and beat her up. But Daisy, being tall and robust, compared to Camille and Xiejiu who were around 1.6 to under 1. 7 meters, was around 1. 7 meters, with a curvaceous figure, making her physical proportions evident. Rex felt Sienna was unable to handle the tall Daisy and worried she might get hurt. He held her arm with one hand and lightly encircled her waist, saying softly, "Don't be impulsive, Ayan will handle it." Sienna struggled, but it was futile.

Ayan, seeing that Camille was fine, looked towards the car. Since the car wasn't moving and the door was open, Ayan could easily see Daisy sitting inside. He was about to step forward when Camille stopped him, whispering, "Let's go back. We've had a night of fun, and I'm a bit tired." Ayan's expression darkened slightly. He was naturally displeased with Daisy, but Camille whispered, "This is a public place. If we get caught on camera, how will you explain it to Tillery Group? Even if we don't cooperate in the future, if Tillery Group makes a big deal out of this, it will bring negative publicity to Simpson Group." Camille felt she was unharmed and did not want to argue with Daisy, just this once. She told Ayan, "Let's not make it a precedent. Consider this a one-time overlook towards our guest. Come on, let's go back!" Others present naturally appreciated Camille's actions, not because they thought she was generous, but because they knew she did it for the sake of Simpson Group, to avoid any negative publicity or gossip. Ayan glanced indifferently at Daisy because of Camille's behavior and then looked at Kian, signaling to the driver to start the car.

With the door closed, Daisy, sitting inside the car, breathed a sigh of relief. Ayan's gaze and actions earlier had made her feel very unfamiliar and a bit fearful. Her secretary noticed this and whispered, "Miss Daisy, you shouldn't have pushed Camille. Mr. Simpson seems to care a lot about her. Your actions might make him feel more sympathetic towards her and create more opportunities between them. You should learn from Camille, and show some vulnerability when facing Mr. Simpson." Daisy did not respond to the secretary but had a cold and solemn expression. She knew she had made a mistake, but her mood was very bad, and she did not utter a word all the way back to the hotel.

After Daisy left, the others expressed their dissatisfaction with Tillery Group. Rex inquired, "So, Tillery Group just arranged for a princess to come talk about cooperation? Seems a bit insincere, right?" Although they sent Daisy, the biological daughter, it was clear that the intention was not just for cooperation; they wanted her to be treated like a princess. Ayan replied indifferently, "Another project manager is coming in the next few days. Daisy won't be discussing project matters." Holding Camille's hand lightly, Ayan checked the time and said, "Alright, everyone worked hard tonight. Let's all disperse!"

Tomas and Derek left together, Rex and Sienna as well, while Camille naturally went with Ayan, and Kian drove. Everyone went back to their homes, and on the way, Ayan couldn't help but ask, "Are you really okay?" Camille looked at him with a faint smile and said, "I'm fine. I wouldn't lie to you. If there's anything wrong, I'll tell you directly!" Ayan then raised his hand and gently touched her hair, with a lingering somber expression on his face.

Back at Franklin Bay, they went upstairs to the bedroom together. Ayan's emotions were still not high, and he sat Camille down, asking, "Did I make the wrong decision?" Understanding his question, Camille replied seriously, "If it's because of tonight when she pushed me, then you shouldn't even think about it. I'm uninjured, and as I mentioned, it's a one-time occurrence. If something similar happens again, I won't turn a blind eye like tonight. But Ayan, if we're to cooperate with Tillery Group, you can't afford to give them any handle or faults. So, leave dealing with Daisy to me." This had always been Camille's intention because the one dealing with Tillery Group was Ayan, not herself. If Daisy were to escalate, she wouldn't spare her, unlike tonight's ignoring. She didn't want Ayan to step in, even if this project didn't eventually work out. Camille didn't want Ayan's actions to be the reason but Tillery Group's fault. She had already explained this to Ayan in detail.

They looked into each other's eyes, and Ayan couldn't hide his smile. Camille, puzzled, asked, "What are you laughing at?" Chuckling, he embraced her, saying, "I laugh at how you're starting to play tricks for the Simpson Group's benefit." Camille responded, "I'm doing it for my own benefit. After all, Simpson Group will be Timmy's in the future. It's my contribution as a mother!" She said it jokingly, but her thoughts were different, just wanting to ease some of Ayan's pressure. Her intentions were not far-fetched; she was content with what she had in front of her. She was only joking with Ayan to lighten the current mood. With Camille's support, Ayan's heart gradually settled. He was usually good at controlling his emotions, as long as it didn't involve Camille or the Simpson family. Once he got close to them, he had a hard time keeping his composure. Daisy, on the other hand, was still emotional. The words of her secretary kept echoing in her mind, making her question if her actions would make Ayan hate her.
