Chapter 1074: Rupture

Chapter 1074: Rupture

One by one, everyone started to console Page, and they didn't forget to

criticize Camille. But Page's intentions went beyond seeking comfort.

She enjoyed everyone's sympathy while also accusing Camille.

“I have two daughters. My elder daughter was deceived and taken

away by my younger daughter, and I don't know where she's hidden

because my younger daughter's ex-husband is a very capable person. I

suspect my younger daughter instigated her ex-husband to imprison

my elder daughter. Now, I can't even see my elder daughter without

considering my younger daughter's mood."

“I don't even know what I did wrong. Why is my daughter treating me

this way? Even if I did something wrong, she could have just talked to

me directly. Why does she treat me like this? Am I less than a stranger

in her eyes?"

The more Page spoke, the more agitated she became. Her

exaggerations knew no bounds, and she didn't care if she was

exposed. All she could think about was having everyone speak up for

her, help her condemn Camille. Only when Camille faced questions and

criticism, she would benefit in some way.

Once this idea took root in her mind, she became even more

determined to achieve it.

The video was only a little over three minutes long, but in that short

time, she had already said so many negative things about Camille.

What can one imagine she might have said in Camille's absence?

The doctor said to Camille, "Mrs. Simpson, would you like to come here

personally to deal with this, or should I send your people to stop her?

Although we are in the hospital, some patients can be quite stubborn,

and we don't have the authority to do much, or we might even get

reported by the patient.”

"l understand what you're saying. Thank you for letting me know. I'll

figure it out on my end. You don't need to worry about her. No matter

what she says or does, just follow your hospital's rules."

Camille responded briefly, then hung up the phone.

She rubbed her head vigorously, as all the back-and-forth with Page

had given her a headache.

Camille let out a silent sigh. She felt quite helpless and powerless. She

wasn't sure what she could do to satisfy Page.

With all this turmoil, was she really not worried about erasing the last

trace of their mother-daughter relationship?

Camille felt truly helpless. She squinted her eyes in thought and then

went to find Sienna.

Sienna was in the next office, having just finished her work. There was

no one else in the office except the two of them.

Seeing Camille's troubled expression, Sienna asked, "Why didn't you

wait for me to come to work this morning? Did you go somewhere

alone to eat something delicious?"

Camille sighed, "I wish it were that simple."

Camille walked over to a nearby chair and sat down.

Sienna asked, "What's going on? Did something happen, or are you

worried about last night's incident?"

Camille shook her head without speaking, her lips pressed together.

She raised her gaze to meet Sienna’s eyes and asked in a gentle tone,

"If someone keeps challenging your boundaries repeatedly, how do you

make them stop from offending you?"

“Then you have to hit her where it hurts. She needs to feel pain or a

threat for her to realize how serious you are.”

"But I never wanted her to think I'm formidable. I just hope she doesn't

disturb me. We're living our lives without interference, just like before. If

there's something significant, I'll do my best to help. But apart from that,

we don't need any contact. Isn't that good enough?"

Why would they have to squeeze out her last bit of usefulness like this?

Is that what they want?

Sienna naturally understood whom Camille was referring to. Hearing

Camille's words, she knew something had happened.

She asked, "What happened exactly?"

Camille showed the video to Sienna, who remained silent throughout.

After watching it, Sienna slammed the phone down on the desk, visibly

angry. She said, "What is she doing? Why is she once again blaming

Grace's situation on you? To be honest, I'm starting to think we should

just bring Grace back so you don't have to suffer.”

Sienna cared about Camille, and as for Grace, the Armstrong family

had been pushing all matters concerning her onto Camille. As Camille's

friend, she found it unfair.

Camille looked helpless and said, "Actually, having Grace come back

won't solve the issue. It will only drag her into the mess. The Armstrong

family is like this now because they've put their interests ahead of

anyone's feelings."

Sienna was also distressed and looked at Camille. She asked, "So,

what should we do? We can't keep watching her do this, can we?"

Camille sighed and smiled wryly. She said, "No, we can't. If we do, I

might really reach my limit." Her eyes were filled with helplessness as

she gazed at Sienna. She spoke slowly, one word at a time, "You

mentioned that making her feel threatened is the way for her to

understand my feelings, right?"

Sienna nodded in agreement.

Camille said, "Then I'll pay a visit to the Armstrong's villa."

“You're going to see Master Armstrong?" Sienna referred to Brody as

Master Armstrong because she didn't want to call him uncle. She was

aware of Brody's mistreatment of Camille, and recently, he had

arranged for Camille to be taken back to the Wesley family. She held

some resentment towards him.

Camille nodded, saying, "If what she said is true, then they are on

opposite sides, and I don't want to be involved any longer. The only

way is to let them handle it themselves."

Even though they were parents, she had no other options. She couldn't

keep accommodating, doing everything as per Page's requests. She

couldn't do that, and she shouldn't.

Sienna agreed and immediately said, “Let's go now. I'll go with you.”

Camille looked at Sienna, nodding gently. The two of them set off

together.

Naturally, Brody was at the Armstrong's villa because he had plenty to

deal with recently. The issues with the Wesley family were far from

resolved, and they kept demanding repayment. However, Brody had

already pocketed the money and was unwilling to part with it. So, these

days, he was entangled in disputes with the Wesley family. They

practically showed up at his doorstep every day, and Brody had gone

from pretending to deal with them to outright ignoring them.

When Camille and Sienna arrived at the Armstrong family estate, the

staff informed them that the Wesley family had just left after having a

heated argument with Brody.

As Camille and Sienna entered the villa, they found Brody in the living

room, on the phone, complaining about the Wesley family. It wasn't

clear who he was talking to, but his tone was exceptionally gentle, a

gentleness that Camille rarely witnessed.

Upon seeing Camille and Sienna, Brody tensed up immediately. He told

the person on the other end of the line, "We'll talk later. I have

something to attend to now," and promptly hung up. He gazed at

Camille indifferently and asked, "Why are you here?"

Brody's attitude was chilly, and Camille didn't expect warmth or

tenderness from him either. She didn't even sit down before she went

straight to the point, asking, "Do you know that she's in the hospital?"

Brody remained silent but gave Camille a dispassionate glance,

confirming that he knew.

Camille continued, "You don't have to answer that question, as it's not

the main reason I came here today.” She looked at Brody with a hint of

suggestion in her voice and said, "Your marital relationship has long

been shattered, hasn't it?"
