Chapter 1049: Quarrel

Ayan's speculation was indeed correct. Even though Preston had

accepted the money, he wasn't feeling great about it. Especially with

Kian's words, he could already imagine the expression on Ayan's face

when he handed over the money.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. His

expression grew increasingly gloomy.

And then there was Camille. Why did she tell Ayan about this? Weren't

they getting divorced? Weren't they supposed to stay away from Ayan?

Why the sudden change of heart?

Is it all a deception?

Liars, all of them!

Preston's emotions became highly unstable, and this naturally upset

the employees at the boba tea shop. One of the employees stepped

out and politely said to Preston, "Sir, could you keep your voice down?"

Preston had already suffered at Kian's hands and wasn't going to

tolerate another employee acting freely toward him. He reacted

instinctively and shouted, "Get lost! Who do you think you are? Do you

think you can boss me around?"

Preston's voice was loud, and his face was extremely unpleasant. This

brusque response left the employee too frightened to speak.

Other employees who had come over were also silenced by Preston's

intimidating presence. He looked at them indifferently, his tone cold but

composed as he said, "Stay away from me, or don't blame me for being

impolite.”

With that, he picked up the bag on the table and headed toward the

employee who had tried to stop him earlier. He struck the employee

with force, and the employee had no chance to resist.

Other employees murmured, “Isn't this bullying?"

However, they were all a bit scared of the man before them. The

coldness in his eyes was too malevolent, making them reluctant to

make any moves because they genuinely believed that they couldn't

afford to provoke this man.

Preston left the boba tea shop without further incident. The employees

breathed a sigh of relief. They quickly went to inquire about the

condition of the employee who had been hit.

Everyone despised Preston's attitude and felt that he was too arrogant.

At that moment, a man's voice came from somewhere, "Don't you have

surveillance cameras in your shop? His behavior has been recorded;

it's the internet age, so just upload it online!"

The employees exchanged glances and immediately realized that it

was a good idea. After all, bullies should face consequences.

The man's voice chimed in again, "But it's better not to expose too

much. Just screenshot his conflict with you, so it doesn't affect others."

The employees nodded in agreement, saying, "Sure, you can trust us.

We won't expose others. Even if we have to quit this job, this guy was

just too despicable.”

They were filled with resentment, and the more they talked, the angrier

they felt towards Preston. Several of them left their work to check the

surveillance footage on the computer.

While they were busy with this, the man who had given the suggestion

earlier left the boba tea shop. He was wearing a cap, concealing his

true identity. No one had noticed him entering while all the attention

was focused on the dispute between Kian and Preston.

Yesterday evening, Brody and Page from the Armstrong family had a

rough time at the Simpson family. Whether it was the old Simpson,

Fletcher, Talia, or even Ayan, their attitudes were very cold.

Naturally, this left Brody and Page in a bad mood.

Even though they left the Simpson family quite late last night, it didn't

prevent them from arguing from the moment they got into the car.

There was only one topic of their argument. Page, as a woman and a

mother, had failed to maintain a good relationship with Camille. This

had resulted in many things becoming difficult to accomplish.

Brody sternly accused Page without any regard for the driver who was

present. Every word was an accusation, and in the end, he shouted

coldly, "If we can't complete this task, it will be the end for both of us

and the entire Armstrong family. You've been living a comfortable life in

the Armstrong family for so many years; it's time for you to give

something back. No matter what method you use, you must convince

Camille.”

Page clenched her fists tightly, her face frozen without any reaction or

expression.

Not getting a response only fueled Brody's emotions further. He raised

his hand and pushed Page aggressively, questioning her, "Can you

hear me when I talk to you?"

Page bit her lip, feeling extremely frustrated but unwilling to stay silent.

She nodded gently, saying, “I heard you. I'll go see her tomorrow, and

I'll do whatever it takes to make her marry into the Wesley family."

"Do you really think she can marry into the Wesley family now? I'm

afraid even the Wesley family wouldn't want her. Haven't you seen

Ayan's attitude? The entire Simpson family is protecting her. Is it really

just blind protection without any ulterior motives?"

Brody sneered and didn't believe it.

Page looked puzzled and asked, "So what should I do? How should I

convince Camille?"

“You just need to build a good relationship with Camille. Remember,

you're mother and daughter, and there's no lasting grudge between a

mother and daughter. Past unpleasantness should be replaced with

new happiness. You just need to show the right attitude, and Camille

won't ignore you," Brody said with a pointed look, emphasizing that she

shouldn't mess things up.

Page could only nod gently, but she was already feeling reluctant.

Convincing Camille was sure to involve her having to lower herself.

However, if she didn't, Brody would continue to apply pressure. What

should she do?

This problem troubled Page all night. Since the incident had occurred,

she and Brody had officially started sleeping in separate beds. She had

hardly slept a wink, and she got up very late the next morning. Brody

had already left home.

The housemaid said, "Mr. Armstrong left early this morning. He

instructed us last night to prepare pastries for him, and he took them

with him."

The staff's words made Page's face turn even uglier, but she didn't say

anything. She quietly had lunch and then prepared herself before

leaving.

Page's destination was clear. Since Brody had instructed her last night,

she couldn't afford to procrastinate. She had to find Camille as soon as

possible.

Upon reaching Camille's company, she was familiar with the location

since she had been there before. On her way there, she had even

bought some cakes and coffee. She brought these items up to the

office floor where Camille worked.

The company's employees, except for the recently hired design

assistant, were all familiar faces, and they knew about Page's poor

attitude towards Camille. Consequently, they didn't have a favorable

impression of Page. Nevertheless, they greeted her politely.

"Mrs. Armstrong, are you here to see Mr. Armstrong?"

The receptionist asked gently.

Page nodded with a soft smile and inquired, "Yes, indeed. I came to

see her. She's been very busy with work lately, right? Is she still busy

now? Will my visit disturb her?"

Page's attitude left the receptionist momentarily stunned. After all, a few

days ago, when she came here and had a big argument with Camille

and Sienna, the scene was still fresh in everyone's memory.
