Chapter 1219: Conquest

Rex immediately became unhappy and said, "Why am I not worthy? I

sacrificed a collaboration for you, and that money is worth much more

than this meal!”

"Alright then, you can continue working with Nores Group, huh?" Ayan

didn't show any hesitation.

Rex felt disheartened and said, “I owe you my whole life."

“It's good that you understand. You must have done something to

wrong me in your past life, so this life is meant for you to repay that

debt.”

Shaking his head, Rex felt exhausted. But friends are chosen by

oneself, what else can he do? Just pamper him!

It was just the two of them for dinner today, and their secretaries were

seated at a separate table next door, not to disturb their conversation.

After the waiters served the dishes, they officially started eating.

Rex wasn't quite sure what happened yesterday, so he found the meal

boring and wanted to find some topics to chat about. While picking up

his food, he looked up at Ayan and asked, "Ayan, tell me, what exactly

happened that made you go to such lengths?"

Ayan snorted coldly, his expression growing even colder. He wasn't

entirely clear about what happened last night either, but he could

gather the general idea from Alicia's few words. That was enough

because he believed in Camille. He knew Camille wasn't someone who

would actively seek trouble.

As for Alicia, he didn't believe her, of course.

He briefly explained what happened last night to Rex, who nodded in

agreement. "This needs to be dealt with. How audacious of her! Does

she really think we're nobody? This Alicia, she followed you all the way

when you went to the southern city before, and now that she knows

about you and Camille, she's still clinging. Isn't she bored?"

Ayan had nothing to say. He didn't care about what Alicia thought or

how she thought. He only knew that Camille had been wronged this

time. Although Camille didn't say anything, didn't speak ill of the Nores

family, and didn't demand that Ayan do anything to Alicia or the Nores

family, precisely because of that, he had to avenge Camille.

Rex didn't express his agreement with this. If it were Sienna in

Camille's place, he would do the same as Ayan.

However, Rex also asked, "If it was before when your relationship with

Camille wasn't as good, would you have chosen Alicia?"

Ayan raised his eyes and looked at Rex indifferently, his gaze carrying

a hint of sharpness and coldness. He said, "What do you think?"

“I wouldn't dare to speculate about that. After all, I wouldn't dare to

casually guess your thoughts. Don't you agree?" Rex smiled lightly, but

his curiosity in his eyes remained unchanged.

Ayan squinted slightly, his tone indifferent. “I haven't thought about that

because it's not something that would happen to me. I won't entertain

hypothetical questions like that.”

"Whether you haven't thought about it or you think Alicia isn't worthy of

comparison with Camille, but didn't you initially divorce Camille for

Eileen's sake?"

Rex's words silenced Ayan instantly.

The two locked eyes, and Ayan lowered his gaze slightly, his

expression particularly cold as he looked at Rex. Then he said, "Did

Sienna send you here today to argue with me?"

“It's not like that. Isn't it just the two of us now? Haven't we had a heart-

to-heart conversation in a long time? Can't we have a good chat?"

“I don't think you want to have a good chat. You're trying to pry some

gossip out of me, aren't you?"

"Oh, Ayan, that's not fair. How can you not trust me? Am I that kind of

person?"

"Well, you seem pretty similar."

After Ayan's indifferent remark, Rex was left with no options.

If Ayan didn't want to say something, no matter what Rex did, he

couldn't make him speak.

They finished their meal, and it was almost time for work.

Ayan glanced at the time and then casually said, "Alright, we're done

with the meal. I need to get back to the office.”

Rex looked puzzled. "Huh?"

He quickly added, "You're leaving just like that?"

"What else do you expect? Should I escort you back to the office?"

"Just stay a little longer, let's talk about something else." Rex stared at

Ayan with a mysterious expression. He asked, "I never asked you, what

are your plans for Eileen? You're not thinking of letting her go, are

you?"

Rex had a strong curiosity. Although it had caused him trouble in the

past, he couldn't change his nature, especially when it came to Ayan.

He was very eager to know more about him because the more he knew

about Ayan, the more benefits he could gain.

After all, among their close circle, who wouldn't want to know about

Ayan's affairs? If they could use that information to their advantage, it

would only require a little effort.

Of course, Rex knew how to differentiate between what should be said

and what shouldn't be said.

But this time, he felt like he was lifting a stone only to drop it on his own

foot because Ayan suddenly approached him and whispered, "How

about we make a deal?"

Rex, curious about Ayan's mysterious demeanor, asked, "What kind of

deal?"

"Aren't you concerned about what will happen to Eileen?"

"Stop, Ayan, don't put me in trouble. I'm not concerned about Eileen,

I'm concerned about how you will handle this matter. If Sienna finds out

about this, it won't be easy for me to explain. Besides, I have no

connection with Eileen, no, we have absolutely no intersection. I don't

even know her," Rex said, clearly indicating that he wanted nothing to

do with it.

Ayan couldn't help but smile at this series of reactions. He looked at

Rex calmly and corrected himself, "Alright, it has nothing to do with

you. You're just curious, that's all. Is that acceptable?"

Rex was left speechless and quietly waited for Ayan to continue.

Seeing Rex's guarded demeanor, Ayan couldn't help but find it

somewhat amusing.

Ayan stared at him and continued, "I can't personally handle Eileen's

situation right now. She just publicly criticized Preston. If I were to do

something to her at this moment, the online community and Preston

would undoubtedly make a big fuss about it. But I can't keep her

detained at the police station indefinitely either. If I release her, Preston

might cause trouble for her, and it could even indirectly affect me. So,

I'll hand her over to you, alright?"

As soon as Ayan finished speaking, Rex's face instantly turned

panicked, or rather, terrified. He didn't even think about it and

immediately shook his head, saying, "No, I refuse. I don't want to be

involved in anything related to Eileen.”

Rex looked scared, and his extreme reaction amused Ayan.

Ayan looked at him, slightly puzzled. He furrowed his brow and asked,

"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so terrified? Is Eileen a devil

or something?"

"She's even more devilish than a devil. Don't you think I should be

scared?" Rex completely rejected the idea of helping Eileen and said,

"You should know that Camille dislikes Eileen a lot. You've caused

Camille a lot of distress because of Eileen in the past, and Sienna

knows all about it. So, if I were to help Eileen, do you think Sienna

wouldn't skin me alive?"
