Chapter 1214: Pride

However, Alicia refused to let go. She firmly grabbed Camille's arm, not

allowing her to leave.

She said, "Camille, if you leave him, I'll give you however much money

you want. You two really aren't suitable for each other. Don't worry, I'll

treat your child as my own. I really like him. If I like someone, I will

definitely get them. Instead of making things ugly, let's discuss it

properly now."

Camille forcefully tried to pull her hand away, but Alicia held on tight.

Camille felt speechless. She took a deep breath, her face

expressionless to the extreme.

But Alicia's words made her find it particularly amusing. Where did she

get such confidence from?

Camille snorted and questioned Alicia, "How much money can you

offer? If I'm with him, the entire Simpson Group can be mine. Why

would I be foolish enough to ask you for money? Or are you saying you

can give me everything from the Nores family?"

"I advise you not to make outrageous demands. I'll give you enough

money to last a lifetime if you leave!"

Camille really thought there was something seriously wrong with this

person's brain.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes, feeling speechless. “I overestimated

you. I thought you were someone worth considering, but it turns out

you're just a brainless fool with a big chest.”

She only wants to use money to attack people. Where does she get the

courage?

Although the soundproofing in the private room was good, Ayan

became concerned when he saw that Camille hadn't returned for so

long, especially with Alicia following her out. He worried about Camille

being harmed, so he also came out of the room. Coincidentally, he

heard Camille calling Alicia an idiot.

He stood straight at the door of the private room, his handsome face

filled with a smile as he gazed at Camille. Even though Camille and

Alicia were standing together, his eyes were only on Camille.

Camille was unaware of this, but Alicia caught a glimpse of Ayan out of

the corner of her eye. Her eyes narrowed, and she continued speaking,

"Miss Armstrong, I just wanted to tell you that Mr. Simpson is very tired

from work. As a wife, you should understand more instead of constantly

misunderstanding. I do admire Mr. Simpson, but it's just admiration. I

have no intention of doing anything immoral. After all, exceptional men

can be competed for. If you don't cherish him, someone else will."

Alicia thought she had said something good, something that would

touch any man's heart.

After all, it's rare to find someone with a good family background and

understanding nature.

In comparison, Camille was still using rude language, something men

definitely wouldn't like.

Unless this man had some weird preferences.

As for Alicia's words, whether they touched a man or not, they

disgusted Camille. Camille felt that if she continued to listen, her ears

would protest.

She looked at Alicia with a disgusted expression and once again tried

to forcefully pull her hand away. However, Alicia took the opportunity to

push her back several steps, directly colliding with the wall behind her.

She immediately looked somewhat aggrieved at Camille and said,

"Mrs. Simpson, why do you have to be like this? I was just kindly

reminding you."

Camille felt that this person was truly a drama queen, adept at playing

both sides. Is she addicted to being two-faced?

Camille couldn't help but say in exasperation, "Are you a saint?

Overflowing with love? If you're truly so kind-hearted, why don't you go

do charity work? Why not donate the entire Nores Group? Weren't you

just feeling superior to me a moment ago? How come you've changed

faces so quickly? I think you truly have a problem.”

After saying that, Camille turned to leave, but just as she turned

around, she saw Ayan.

Her eyebrows furrowed, and everything became clear to her.

But the fact that the other party would go to such lengths to praise her

made Camille realize that she shouldn't deny the opportunity for praise

and a stage. So she stood still, not saying anything or making any

movements, intending to see how Alicia would continue her act.

However, Ayan seemed somewhat displeased. He looked at Camille

and said, "Come here."

Just two simple words, but his voice was exceptionally gentle.

Camille merely smiled lightly, then turned her head to glance at Alicia,

who had been "pushed" to the side. In her heart, she couldn't help but

shake her head. Wasn't Alicia planning to do something?

If the audience left now, how would she continue her performance?

Alicia probably didn't want to miss the opportunity, so she quickly stood

up straight, wearing a face full of grievance, and said, "Mr. Simpson, I

apologize. I was just trying to kindly advise Mrs. Simpson. She said that

your hard work is expected, and I meant no harm. I just thought that

mutual understanding between spouses would be better."

After Alicia finished speaking, Ayan remained silent, offering no

response.

It was Camille who reminded him, saying, "Mr. Simpson, Miss Nores is

here to complain about you!"

Ayan knew Camille was just playing around, but he still spoke gently,

saying, "Come here."

Only then did Camille walk towards him and stop by his side. She

lightly hooked her arm through his, leaned her head slightly against his

shoulder, and looked at Miss Nores with a cold gaze. She said, "It

seems that Miss Nores' complaints aren't working so well."

Alicia's face turned extremely ugly.

She said indignantly, "You're only taking advantage of Mr. Simpson's

favoritism towards you. You should cherish your relationship with Mr.

Simpson even more instead of recklessly consuming his kindness."

After speaking, she couldn't help but look at Ayan, seemingly seeking

praise, and said, "Mr. Simpson, I didn't mean to sow discord between

you. I simply feel that Mrs. Simpson isn't treating you well enough.”

However, Ayan only narrowed his eyes slightly, displaying a cold

indifference in his gaze. His voice rang out neither light nor heavy,

"Miss Nores, do you think I have a lot of free time?"

Alicia didn't understand the meaning behind Ayan's words, so she

instinctively shook her head, "I don't think so. I know Mr. Simpson is

busy with countless responsibilities. That's why I suggested to Mrs.

Simpson that she should be a bit nicer to you because you work hard

too."

"If you know I'm busy, why do you deliberately cause trouble for me?"

"Mr. Simpson, I didn't."

"If you didn't, then why do you repeatedly sow discord between us in

front of my wife? Do you know how long it will take for me to prove my

innocence after saying these things? It seems that Miss Nores still

hasn't learned to be wise. Perhaps your father, Mr. Nores, should teach

you a lesson.”

Ayan gave Alicia a cold glance, filled with icy sharpness in his gaze.

This conversation was already loud enough for the people in the private

room to hear, after all, the door was open.

Mr. Nores heard Ayan's displeased tone and heard the mention of his

daughter, so naturally, he couldn't stay seated.

Mr. Nores immediately got up and approached, saying, "Mr. Simpson,

what happened?”

Ayan withdrew his gaze from Alicia, took Camille's hand, and turned

back to the private room. As he passed by Mr. Nores, he dropped a

remark, "Ask your proud daughter about it!"

It's unclear what Mr. Nores said to Alicia, but after two or three minutes,

Mr. Nores returned to the private room with Alicia.

At this moment, Ayan and Camille were already sitting on the sofa, both

with displeased expressions. Mr. Nores accompanied them with a smile

and whispered, "Mr. Simpson, Mrs. Simpson, I apologize. I've spoiled

her too much.”

Mr. Nores glanced at Alicia and sternly reminded her, "Why don't you

apologize to Mr. Simpson and Mrs. Simpson right away?"
