Chapter 1149: Worries
Two police officers whispered, "Of course we don't believe it. Our
department is also under pressure. If there are too many reports, we
will be indifferent. After the incident is exposed, we will also be
punished. So please ask Kian to talk to Mr. Simpson and not blame our
department for this situation. We have no choice!"
Kian said, "Naturally, our relationship with Mr. Simpson and the police
station has always been good."
After all, Ayan has provided many benefits to the police station; this is
an indisputable fact. The police station naturally does not want to
offend Ayan, especially if the incident has nothing to do with him.
The two policemen saw that Kian had spoken like this and revealed
some information: "Actually, we don't know who reported it specifically
because they didn't leave any real contact information behind. The
informant was afraid that Mr. Simpson would retaliate if he found out.â
Kian nodded his head without asking more questions and ended the
topic by saying: âThen please investigate the truth of this matter as
soon as possible so that Mr. Simpson won't worry about it every day.
Thank you both and all of your colleagues at the Police Station."
Kian sincerely thanked them before watching them enter into elevator.
When he returned to his office, Kian told Ayan about their conversation
truthfully. Kian looked at Ayan in a low voice:"Do we need to find out
who's behind this before the police?"
Ayan narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression calm, and his voice
was without temperature:"No need. We can just keep an eye on what
happens after they investigate. Besides, you can check on that gossip
reporter's recent activities, to see whether he's up-to-something or
someone else is manipulating him."
Ayan naturally did not want to waste too much energy dealing with such
a trivial matter. He did not think it was a big deal. If someone wanted
trouble for him using such methods then let's wait until he doesn't
respond. What else could they do?
After instructing Kian, Ayan continued working. This matter did not
cause any waves in Simpson Group or affect their operations in any
way whatsoever .
Ayan's lack of action naturally made some people impatient, so by
evening, before the police had any results, the news was already
spreading like wildfire.
Ayan's domestic violence immediately became a hot topic on social
media. Talia found out about it while having dinner with friends and
couldn't eat anymore. She immediately left the table and called Ayan to
question him: "Did you hit Cami? Ayan, are you crazy? You need to go
back to the Simpson's mansion right now. I'm going to tell your dad, I'm
going to tell your grandpa..."
Talia bombarded Ayan with questions until he interrupted her and asked
what she was talking about. He seemed helpless as he rubbed his
temples and said in a low voice: "What are you saying?"
Once Ayan regained his senses from Talia's questioning, he asked her
if she heard any rumors or gossip. Talia was still very emotional and
demanded answers: "Tell me if it's true or not! If it isn't true then why is
there such news spreading around?"
"Do you believe it?" Ayan asked calmly. âDo you think I'm that kind of
person? Are you underestimating your own genes or my bottom line?"
Ayan asked casually, "Don't jump to conclusions without evidence,
okay?"
Talia was also taken aback by Ayan's words and said, "Anyway, I don't
care. I'm coming over to your place tonight to see Cami. If I find out
anything suspicious, you better be ready."
Without giving Ayan a chance to respond, Talia hung up the phone.
Faced with this situation, Ayan could only sigh helplessly. There was
nothing his mother could do but let her be.
That night, Talia arrived at Franklin Bay as promised. She had only
informed Ayan and not Camille beforehand.
Camille said in surprise,"Mom! Why didn't you tell me earlier? I wasn't
prepared for your visit. Have you eaten yet?"
"I already ate with my friends. Your dad is at home taking care of
Timmy so I went out for a walk and decided to drop by and see how
you're doing. Sorry for not informing you earlier but it didn't upset you
did it?"
Camille quickly replied,"Of course not! I'm happy that you came!"
Talia showed Camille the utmost respect which was one of the main
reasons why they had no issues between them as mother-in-law and
daughter-in-law relationship goes . And just like a real mom would treat
her own daughter , Camille felt comfortable around Talia too . They
chatted like old friends catching up on things.
Talia held onto Camille's hand as they sat down on the couch together .
She gently touched Camille's hand while looking at her closely , but she
couldn't find any signs of abuse or mistreatment towards her from what
she saw . Her gaze was noticed by Ayan who deliberately asked ,"Mom
, What are you looking at 2"
Talia glared at him warning him to keep quiet before turning back
towards Camille who seemed confused about their exchange ."Mom ,
is there something going on between you and Ayan that he's hiding
from me ?"
âNope , don't mind him" replied Talia dismissively while still keeping an
eye on Ayan who seemed relieved that his cover wasn't blown just yet .
However, Camile still felt skeptical about their behavior towards each
other so she turned back towards Ayen asking ,"Are y'all hiding
something from me?"
Ayaan responded helplessly,"My mom cares about your well-being.â He
couldn't possibly tell her directly that his mom suspected domestic
violence in their household causing them both discomfort during this
conversation .
Camile looked back towards Talia softly saying ," Mom are worried he
might hurt me aren't ya?"
Camille tentatively asked, knowing that this was the only possibility left.
Otherwise, Talia would have just said it outright.
Talia smiled and said, "Nothing. He wouldn't dare. I'm just a little
worried.â
"Worried about what?"
âI bought you a dress and I'm worried you won't like it, so I'm nervous."
Talia whispered before taking out a high-end brand bag from her purse
and handing it to Camille. "You should like it though, right?"
Camille immediately took the bag with excitement. "Of course I'll like it."
"Then wear it for me to see?" Talia asked in a low voice.
Camille naturally agreed without hesitation.
So Camille went to the restroom on the first floor with her clothes in
hand while Talia and Ayan were left alone in the lobby.
Talia stood up straight with an indifferent look on her face as she gazed
at Ayan with eyes full of displeasure.
Seeing Talia's expression, Ayan couldn't help but laugh. "What are you
mad at me for?"
