Chapter 1035: Showing Off
The atmosphere in the live chat room was incredibly positive. In the
end, Camille and Sienna lounged on the couch, chatting with their
audience. They even ran a few giveaways, and the viewer count
reached a peak of ten thousand, with total views in the hundreds of
thousands.
After the livestream ended, Camille seemed a bit reluctant to say
goodbye to her new friends. She commented, "It feels good to go live
every day. It's a great way to pass the time when I'm bored. What's
more, making friends with you all is quite enjoyable.â
Sienna teased her, "It's indeed fun, but I'm afraid that if you become too
popular, you won't have any privacy when you go out. You might end
up just like a celebrity, with lots of people watching your every move.
Who knows, you might even get offers for acting roles. Then I can be
your agent. What do you think, Camille?"
Camille chuckled and replied, "We'll see how you perform!"
"Camille, what should I do to impress you as your agent in the future?"
"Pour me a glass of water, and bring me some fruit."
"Alright, consider it done. But here's the deal, once you've enjoyed the
water I pour and eaten the fruit I prepare, you must promise that I'll be
your agent in the future.â Sienna said playfully and then left the office,
feeling content.
With Sienna gone, Camille was left alone in the office. She browsed
through videos and Twitter, finding that her livestream had been shared
widely, and people were discussing its authenticity. Her sincere
answers during the livestream seemed to have convinced many, but
there were still doubts about the Armstrong family's actions.
Meanwhile, Ayan was aware of the livestream. He had watched the
entire broadcast, but after it ended, he sat at his desk, deep in thought.
Kian entered the room and noticed Ayan's vacant expression.
Kian interrupted, "Mr. Simpson, the video of Mrs. Simpson's livestream
has been shared on the internet. The Armstrong family might already
be aware. I wonder if they'll confront Mrs. Simpson."
At the mention of Camille possibly facing trouble, Ayan snapped out of
his thoughts. His gaze turned slightly colder, and he responded in a
subdued tone, "Keep someone watching over her. Nobody should be
allowed to disturb her, especially those people who want to invite her
for coffee after her livestream. Those individuals have ulterior motives.
Investigate who they are and find out if they're male or female. We
need to know for sure.â
Ayan had spotted such comments during Camille's livestream and
immediately took screenshots. Now, he instructed Kian to investigate
these accounts. Kian reported, "Mr. Simpson, they are all girls. There
shouldn't be any issues."
"Girls? Are today's girls so forward? Aren't they aware that Camille is
also a woman? Why are they expressing their feelings for her like this?
It's absolutely inappropriate!" Ayan's face showed clear displeasure and
a touch of anger.
Kian knew that Ayan wouldn't listen to anything he said, so he simply
nodded and reassured, "Of course, Mr. Simpson. Rest assured, I will
handle it and advise those people not to disturb Mrs. Simpson.â
"Not advise, they must not disturb her."
"Understood."
Ayan was somewhat satisfied with the response, though his brow
remained slightly furrowed. He maintained a brief silence and then said,
"Have the official account retweet the recorded livestream of hers and
make a response.â
"Very well, I'll arrange that."
Kian nodded in acknowledgment.
Two minutes later, Simpson Group's official Twitter account posted a
tweet, which was a retweet of a recorded clip of Camille's livestream,
along with a caption.
âI'm just a tool, conveying our gratitude on behalf of Mr. Simpson to
Mrs. Simpson. Thanks to Mrs. Simpson for making her husband so
happy. [Secretly, we've heard that Mr. Simpson can't focus on work due
to happiness.]"
This tweet brought a smile to the faces of those who had just watched
the livestream. Some even playfully teased Ayan, "Why do I feel like
Camille isn't the one with a love-struck mind? Mr. Simpson seems to
have the potential for that.â
And so, Ayan earned the nickname of âlove-struck mind" from the
online community.
Seeing this nickname, Ayan, not being familiar with online terminology,
inquired with Kian, "What does âlove-struck mind' mean?"
Kian did his best to explain, "The term âlove-struck mindâ is used by
netizens who believe you are very fond of Mrs. Simpson. They think
you prioritize her, and that's why they're calling you that."
Ayan accepted it graciously, showing no sign of embarrassment. In
fact, he wore a proud expression and stated, "She's my wife. Shouldn't
you treat your wife well?"
"Absolutely," Kian concurred.
Ayan glanced at Kian, and in a casual tone, he remarked, "You're not
married yet. You don't understand the importance of a wife. Once
you're married, you'll realize how significant a wife is."
Kian nodded in agreement, silently chuckling to himself. Would Mr.
Simpson feel embarrassed if he remembered his past attitudes?
Of course, Kian didn't dare to say this out loud. If he did, he was sure to
face serious consequences.
After arranging for security to protect Camille and prevent internet
users from bothering her, Ayan sent the screenshots to their private
chat group. He sent a voice message with a serious tone, "Have any of
you been protected by your own wife?"
"Oh, I forgot, you guys aren't married yet!"
He continued with a series of voice messages, adopting a somewhat
teasing tone.
Derek and Tomas, who were both in the chat group, couldn't help but
feel the urge to confront Ayan face to face. But beating him up wasn't a
realistic option, so instead, they sent numerous emoji responses
implying punching and beating. Then they sent a message, "RIP, get a
life."
Afterward, they didn't respond any further.
When Rex saw the messages, he was also furious but replied in the
group, "Don't talk about whether you guys can or can't? I'm already
married. So don't act like you're showing off, okay?"
Ayan, however, didn't respond to Rex, simply setting his phone aside
and deciding not to engage. But Rex's call came through anyway.
As soon as the call was answered, without waiting for Ayan to speak,
Rex's voice came through the line, saying, "Ayan, isn't it pointless for
you to ignore me like this? Why aren't you replying in the group? What
do you mean by "you guys aren't married yet? I'm married, I'm married,
I'm married, got it?"
"Why are you getting so worked up? You're married, so what? It's not
that big of a deal. Being married isn't something extraordinary. Now, if
you're married, did your wife have your back?" Ayan's tone was light
and nonchalant, not sounding like he was showing off, but the content
of his words was undeniably a kind of boasting.
Rex snorted, "What wife? You mean your ex-wife! Camille has already
clarified that she's indeed divorced from you. Whether or not she'll
remarry depends on your performance. So, don't get too cocky. Who
knows, if you don't perform well, Camille might not want to remarry. Let
me tell you, Sienna is your ex-wife's best friend, and I'm the husband of
your ex-wife's best friend. If I happen to drop some hints, what do you
think the consequences will be?"
"Are you trying to threaten me?"
"Of course, I'm not threatening you. I'm just stating the facts. I hope you
can recognize reality and show some respect.â
"Do you want me to respect you?" Ayan smirked indifferently, his voice
neither light nor heavy. "I heard there's some big movement on the King
family's side recently. It seems Mario is interested in expanding his
business in Hance. Is that news respectful enough for you?"
