Chapter 1050: Transformation
The receptionist was momentarily stunned but quickly responded, "Mr.
Armstrong is in her office, indeed working on something. Let me check
with her."
She invited Page to sit down and rest while she hurried off to find
Yessica.
Upon hearing that Page had come, Yessica was also taken aback.
Page's actions from the previous day had left a lasting impression, and
this news had Yessica rushing to find Camille. She said, "Cami, your
mother is here."
Hearing the word âmother,â Camille initially assumed it was Talia who
had come.
Yet after a moment's thought, she realized that if Talia were coming,
she would have informed her in advance. Of course, this didn't include
the possibility that Talia might come as a surprise to her. However,
Yessica had met Talia, so it couldn't be her, especially not with the
current signs of nervousness and concern.
Camille slightly narrowed her eyes and asked in a faint tone, "What
does she want?"
They had met just last night, and a lot of arguments had taken place.
Camille couldn't imagine that she would show up again today. It
probably wasn't for a good reason.
Yessica shook her head and replied, "She didn't say, only that she
wanted to see you. But she also said she didn't want to disturb your
work and brought a lot of food."
Sienna, who was nearby, also overheard and expressed some
bewilderment, saying, âWhat kind of trick is she trying to pull? A trap,
perhaps?"
Camille didn't react and maintained a cold expression. Seeing Camille
like this, Sienna inquired, "Should I go meet her?"
Camille smiled and looked at Sienna, saying, "Do you want to
challenge her in the art of arguing? I'm guessing that's what she's here
for."
âBut I'm worried about you."
"Alright, I know, but there's no need. I'll go see her."
Camille set aside the pen she was holding and walked out of her office.
Sienna quickly turned to Yessica and said, "You follow her, and if things
seem off, call me right away. I won't go out easily because I'm afraid I
won't be able to control my eight-foot-long sword."
Yessica smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, if anything happens, I'll let
you know immediately.â
"Go ahead.â Sienna watched Camille's figure as she left, her face filled
with concern.
Meanwhile, Camille had approached Page in the waiting area. She
gazed at Page with a faint look and calmly said, "Are you here to see
me? Is it about last night? If itis, I can only say that I cannot agree with
you, so there's no need for you to come all the way here to find me."
Camille's tone was somewhat cold. Under normal circumstances, Page
would have been angry by now and might have even accused Camille
of being impolite. However, Page wasn't showing any sign of anger.
Instead, she lowered her head and said with a tinge of guilt in her
voice, "Cami, you're right. We let you down. After last night's events,
your father and I have seen many things clearly, especially the
Simpson family's attitude towards you, which is much better than ours.
Just thinking about all of this makes me feel terrible. I feel so sorry for
you."
Page was filled with guilt and self-blame, and her face showed remorse
and sadness.
Camille furrowed her brows in response to Page's various reactions.
She was taken aback because she hadn't expected Page to say such
things. The fact that she could say them was genuinely surprising and
shocking.
Camille pursed her lips. She looked at Page with a hint of wariness,
and her expression was one of disbelief. She hadn't seen Page like this
before. So, what had happened to cause such a significant change?
Could it really be because of the events at the Simpson family's house
last night?
Camille couldn't believe it.
Because she didn't believe that the situation from last night was
enough to make Brody and Page change. If it were really due to last
night's events, then they should have changed long before, why wait
until last night?
After all, the Simpson family had been good to her for a long time. So
why hadn't she changed sooner?
Camille couldn't help but self-mock with a wry smile. Her expression
became even colder. She opened her mouth and said, "Just tell me
directly, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to tell Ayan not to
pursue the Armstrong family any longer, or do you want me to listen to
you and go back to the Armstrong family to help you deal with the
difficulties, and as you wish, marry into the Wesley family?"
Camille remained unwavering.
She would not believe that Page's actions were a result of self-
reflection.
Her attitude became very direct, and this made Page's face slightly
tense. Page quickly said, "Cami, I know you don't believe me, but it's
okay. I think you will believe me in the near future. I'm not doing this to
make you show sincerity and make amends. I'm just worried about our
relationship becoming estranged. I've genuinely realized that we were
too selfish before, only concerned with the present and not thinking
about the future. We didn't think for you, but things are different now. I
genuinely want to change, Cami. Can you give Mom a chance?"
Page started to cry as she spoke. She lowered her head to wipe away
her tears, leaving Yessica, who was standing nearby, stunned.
How had things turned out this way?
The atmosphere became quiet, with only Page's faint sobs filling the
room. The rest of the employees in the office area could hear clearly
and see what was happening in the lounge area. Everyone was
surprised by Page's sudden transformation.
However, this was Camille's family matter, and as employees, they
couldn't pay too much attention to the boss's personal affairs. So, they
tried to focus on their work.
But Page's voice was somewhat loud, probably because she was
crying. Camille remained silent and unmoved, allowing Page to cry.
Eventually, Page stood up from her chair and looked at Camille. She
said, "Cami, what do you want me to do to forgive me? Do you want
Mom to kneel down and apologize? If that's what it takes for you to be
happy and to stop blaming me, I'll do it. I'm willing to do anything you
want.â
Page spoke, and then, she prepared to kneel in front of Camille.
However, Camille didn't make any move to stop her, and Page found
herself in an awkward half-kneeling position.
Page looked at Camille in disbelief. She asked gently, "Cami, do you
really need me to do this to forgive me?"
Camille remained composed, her expression cold. She said, "What you
choose to do is your business, and whether I forgive you is mine. If you
genuinely want to show sincerity, then demonstrate your attitude, but
don't do something that's out of line with our relationship like you're
doing now. If you kneel to me here today, does that mean I'll be
stabbed in the back tomorrow? Will I be slandered on the internet?"
Camille's gaze was truly cold, and she believed that if Page's intentions
were genuine, she wouldn't resort to pressuring her like this, nor would
she put her in a situation where she might drown in public criticism.
Page seemed taken aback by Camille's words. It seemed like she
hadn't anticipated this. After a moment of surprise, Page quickly said,
"Cami, it's all my fault. I didn't think it through. You can scold me. As
long as you're willing to forgive me, I'm willing to do whatever it takes.
Cami, can you give Mom a chance, please?"
