Chapter 1147: Irony

Camille could understand this idea, how could Mario not understand it?

But she couldn't figure out why he would do this now. Maybe Ayan

would have an idea? Camille planned to ask Ayan when she got home

tonight and see what he had to say so she could give Sienna some

advice.

She wanted Sienna to be happy and carefree without any disturbances

or disruptions. Camille knew almost everything about Sienna's life,

which was why they were so close and cherished each other.

Because Camille had seen all of her struggles, how could she not

unconditionally support her?

The party lasted until the early morning hours before everyone went

home with their respective drivers or secretaries. Although Camille and

Ayan were going in the same direction as Sienna and Rex, they rode

separately back to Franklin Bay.

Ayan had two drinks at the party, so he was a bit tipsy now. He leaned

heavily on Camille's shoulder as they walked together, making her feel

exhausted from his weight.

But Camille had no choice but to endure it because he was her man

after all.

When they arrived back at Franklin Bay, the driver asked politely if Mrs.

Simpson needed any help but she declined his offer. She helped Ayan

into their bedroom alone before getting up again to make him some

honey water.

However, just as she stood up straight again after helping him sit down

on the sofa in their room, Ayan suddenly reached out and pulled her

into his arms with forceful strength that made it clear that he wouldn't

let go easily.

Camille frowned instinctively and struggled against him but found it

impossible to break free from his grasp. “Let me go first," she

whispered softly.

Ayan didn't listen though; instead of loosening his grip on her waist like

a vice-like hold that made breathing difficult for her - even causing pain

- he tightened it further instead!

Camille took a deep breath before asking: "Are you really drunk?"

Ayan remained silent without denying or admitting anything while

continuing with his tight embrace around her body which caused

discomfort due its intensity squeezing around tightly enough for air

supply being cut off completely if prolonged enough time elapsed

without release from such pressure applied upon one's chest area by

another person who refused letting go despite pleas otherwise given

repeatedly by those trapped within such clutches!

Ayan finally had a slight reaction. He opened his deep eyes and met

Camille's gaze. He asked, "What did you talk about with Sienna

tonight?"

Camille frowned slightly and asked lightly, "We talked about a lot of

things. Which one are you referring to?"

"What did Sienna tell you?" Ayan continued to ask.

Camille really couldn't understand anything, so naturally she looked

confused.

Without waiting for Camille to speak, Ayan said directly, "Did Rex make

some money for her and show off to you?"

After hearing this, Camille finally understood. She smiled helplessly and

said, "So you don't think I'm disappointed because I didn't get any

money in my heart.”

She estimated that Rex must have told him everything which made him

think that she would be disappointed.

Ayan's gaze was always fixed on Camille as if he wanted to see clearly

whether she would be disappointed or have any other thoughts towards

him.

Camille was really tired of being tormented by the drunken Ayan.

She stared at Ayan without blinking for a moment and said seriously:

"Sienna did tell me about it because of the reward Rex gave her when

she entered the preliminary round. But this has nothing to do with me.

And your card is here with me? I don't have any feelings of

disappointment or anything else at all. So don't overthink it? Okay?"

Camille was afraid that Ayan wouldn't agree because these two men

were constantly comparing themselves like children who always

thought "I have what you don't". She couldn't wait even for a second

longer; she really wanted to send a message complaining about Rex

sleeping on the couch tonight! Of course, she couldn't actually send it

but only thought it in her mind.

The only thing worth celebrating is that Ayan listened carefully when

Camilla explained herself so now she's more convinced than ever

before that Rex showed off his wealth which led him misunderstand

due to not noticing their facial expressions while they chatted together

earlier.

Aya looked at Camilla seriously and said: "Don't envy others; what

others have is also something that belongs to you too; what others do

not possess is also something within your reach.”

He continued saying: “Everything I own belongs solely to you but

sometimes I may overlook certain things so feel free let me know or

give me some hints."

Camilla nodded her head in agreement saying: "Okay then since we've

cleared up everything can we go take our shower now?"

Ayan finally agreed to take a shower, but he refused to let go of

Camille's hand. "Together," he said.

Without waiting for Camille's response, Ayan pulled her towards the

bathroom.

Camille had no chance to refuse and couldn't resist Ayan anyway.

Nothing happened once they were inside, but when they came out,

they were both disoriented.

The preliminary round of the design competition ended without any

dreams that night. The semi-finals would be held in a month, but

Sienna wasn't nervous at all. It was her assistant who asked anxiously:

"When will we start working on the designs for the semi-finals?"

Sienna replied calmly: “No rush. Let's take a few days off and I'll let you

know when I feel inspired.”

Sienna and Camille had agreed not to put too much pressure on

themselves because sometimes pushing too hard could hinder

creativity. They needed to relax and find inspiration before coming up

with their best ideas.

So Sienna stayed at home doing nothing every day except eating and

sleeping - it seemed like an uneventful life from an outsiders

perspective. Only Camille and Rex knew that she was just taking some

time off for herself.

While Sienna relaxed, Camille kept busy with work since their company

had received several projects from well-known companies recently.

Meanwhile, those who had been secretly watching them didn't stop

either - even though the news about Ayan being abusive towards

Camille slowly died down after some time, there were still curious

netizens who wanted updates on what happened next.

However, the gossip journalist who started it all hadn't posted anything

new since then which made some people wonder if Mr Simpson

silenced him or her somehow: "Do you think Mr Simpson took care of

this person? Why hasn't there been any updates for so long? Could it

be true after all? After all only truth requires urgent silence! Oh my god!

What have I discovered?! Help me! Can anyone share my burden right

now?"
