My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 1354: Gone Mad

Chapter 1354: Gone Mad

Following Camille's signal, Sienna also revealed Mario's threat to her to Jillian.

Sienna informed Jillian, "I don't want to hide it from you, because he knows we are friends now, and I believe he will use you to threaten me and then do something to harm you, so you need to consider carefully."

Jillian just nodded, "Don't worry, I know what to do!!"

Sienna expressed that as long as Jillian didn't mind, it was fine with her, and she didn't care about the rest.

The three of them had dinner and then found a place to sit down and have a drink together.

It was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that the two of them sent Jillian back to the hotel and then drove back to Franklin Bay together.

On the way back, Sienna mentioned, "Is Jillian crazy? She seems completely unaffected."

"Maybe she's deeply in love?"

Camille smiled faintly and also told Sienna not to worry about it, as Jillian was a straightforward person. Since everything was out in the open, it didn't matter anymore.

However, Sienna told Camille, "I still can't relax because I know Mario too well. He is the kind of person who doesn't care about the consequences of his actions, especially towards people who are not important to him. Right now, Jillian is not important to him. However, since both families want to matchmake them, I need to talk to Mrs. King more and make her aware of Mario's actions and advise her on how to handle him."

"Sounds good, but you need to keep yourself out of it at all times. Don't let Mario think that something is related to you. If Mario finds out that something is related to you and that you played a crucial role in it, I'm afraid he might get angry and do something. So, it's better to be cautious, don't you think?"

Camille looked at Sienna calmly. Although she didn't know Mario as well as Sienna did, having known him for many years, she still had a basic understanding of his ways.

Sienna agreed and said, "Yes, I understand."

"But if Jillian really manages to win over Mario, your relationship with the King family should still be able to continue. It would be a weight off your chest, and you wouldn't have to feel guilty. You'll have to thank Jillian properly then, at the very least, treat her to a meal, right?"

"I can treat her to meals for a lifetime. I'll open a long-term meal ticket for her at the restaurant."

Camille laughed, but she also knew that Sienna was serious about her offer.

The two of them went back to their homes separately. Camille changed her shoes and walked towards the living room but found it empty. She had to ask the maid, "Has Ayan not returned yet?"

The maid quickly replied, "He's back. He had dinner alone at home, and he's upstairs in the study now."

The maid handed Camille a bowl of warm bird's nest, saying, "I knew you were dining out, so I warmed it up for you in advance."

Under Talia's orders, the maid prepared a bowl of bird's nest for Camille every day. Talia said it was good for the skin and asked Camille to drink it more.

After thanking the maid, Camille took the bowl of bird's nest and finished it quickly as it was just a small portion.

She handed the bowl back to the maid and said, "I'll go upstairs to see Ayan."

The maid smiled warmly and nodded at Camille, then watched as Camille walked up the stairs.

In the study on the second floor, Ayan was on the phone with the door slightly ajar, so Camille could already see the light shining from the study as she walked down the corridor.

As she approached the study, she heard the man's voice becoming more intense, "I've said, it's not the right time now. If you insist on telling her everything at this time, not to mention whether she can accept it even I won't agree to your wish."

Camille raised her eyebrows, hearing the man's voice filled with dissatisfaction and coldness.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively slowed down her steps, pausing at the doorway of the study instead of walking in directly.

Ayan was standing by the window, so he didn't notice her presence at all. His voice continued, "It's also not acceptable after the end of the competition. My matters are not resolved yet. If you reveal your relationship with her at this time, it won't be friendly to Simpson Group and her. I've said, when the time is right, I will cooperate with you to achieve your goal, but if the timing is not right, I won't agree." Ayan was firm and unwavering, his handsome face displaying coldness.

But Camille couldn't decipher what he was talking about. The only thing she could pick up was something about the end of a competition. What competition? The only design competition that came to mind was the upcoming final round. Was it related to Rex?

However, from the tone of his voice, it didn't sound like it. Besides, Sienna was already home. If Rex was discussing something secretive with Ayan over the phone, it shouldn't be possible, right? Camille found herself increasingly puzzled and lost in her thoughts. Ayan's call ended at that moment.

Turning around, Ayan saw Camille standing at the doorway. His deep gaze immediately carried a hint of seriousness and depth, but who was he? He was Ayan, how could he be nervous? Narrowing his eyes slightly, he spoke in his usual calm tone, "Cami? Why are you standing at the door and not coming in?"

His voice was natural and smooth, showing no discomfort.

Camille snapped back to reality, meeting his gaze as if assessing something.

She then spoke, "Um... I just came upstairs. I heard you on the phone and didn't want to interrupt. Who were you talking to?"

Camille walked closer to Ayan, reached out to circle her arms around his waist, and buried herself in his chest.

Her voice sounded muffled, "You're not lying to me, are you?"

For some reason, she felt that Ayan was keeping something from her, but she couldn't pinpoint it. Ayan gently held her, his fingers brushing through her hair, his voice unchanged, "Of course." He changed the subject, "Who did you go out for dinner with tonight? Who was the old friend Sienna introduced you to?"

Camille sighed softly and briefly talked about Jillian and her relationship with Mario.

Ayan didn't care about who Mario was dating or how Jillian's identity might help Mario. He just commented, "Mario has been busy lately since the project has officially started. He must be there at all times because he is in charge of the project. He doesn't even have time to handle the King Group's affairs, and I've heard that the shareholders and senior management of King Group have many different opinions."
