Chapter 1234: Outsiders

Chapter 1234: Outsiders

Page looked at Camille with a displeased expression, her words filled

with a slight anger. She believed she was Camille's mother, and

Camille should listen to her. Moreover, this was not a small matter; it

involved a significant amount of money. Camille was merely being

criticized by someone, so what's the big deal?

Page was also worried that Camille wouldn't budge, so without waiting

for Camille's response, she continued, "Let me tell you, this matter is

crucial for the Armstrong family. If the Nores family pulls out of this

project, it will be a significant loss for us."

Camille pursed her lips and looked at Page with indifference. She had

no reaction, and her eyes were cold. Perhaps because of her cold

attitude, Page's eyes flickered slightly, looking at Camille tentatively as

she asked, "I said so much just now, did you hear any of it?"

Camille remained expressionless and asked coldly, "Are you done

speaking?"

Page was taken aback, not fully understanding the meaning behind

Camille's words, but Camille's tone wasn't pleasant, so she naturally

felt disgruntled.

She said, "Call Ayan right now and make things clear!"

"What if I don't?" Camille asked indifferently.

Page seemed surprised by Camille's direct refusal. She couldn't believe

it and said, "Camille, do you even know what you're saying? Can't you

stop being so foolish? Are you willing to burden the entire Armstrong

family for the sake of the Nores family?"

"How is it burdening the Armstrong family? The Armstrong family hasn't

invested any money or made any commitments. What does it have to

do with them? Let me tell you the truth. If Alicia doesn't apologize to

me, I won't let this project continue," Camille said coldly, her tone firm

and non-negotiable.

Originally, Camille didn't plan to be so firm and decisive in her words.

She didn't want to have this kind of confrontation. However, Page's

attitude was starting to annoy her.

At this point, she had no intention of reasoning with her; instead, she

continued to speak in a commanding tone. To be honest, it was

becoming a bit ridiculous.

Camille pursed her lips, and the coldness on her face grew stronger,

eventually taking over her entire expression.

She silently took a deep breath and looked at Page, whose face turned

extremely indifferent after her words. Just as Camille was about to

explode, she spoke first, "I've said everything I needed to say. If you

don't have anything else, you can go back. I need to start working."

"Camille, are you rebelling? Have you gone mad? Do you even know

what you said just now?" Page was infuriated. She slammed her hand

on the desk and stood up from her chair in one swift motion.

She looked down at Camille, her eyes filled with anger and questioning.

However, Camille showed no fear at all. She simply raised her gaze

slightly to meet Page's eyes and said coldly, "Of course, I know what I

said. It's just that you don't understand. I only want to tell you one thing.

I won't go and find Alicia or anyone else from the Nores family because

I'm not the one who did something wrong. Why should I do that?"

Camille let out a cold snort, a faint smirk flashing in her eyes. Her

words naturally infuriated Page, but even if she was angry, what could

she do? In the end, she couldn't do anything.

Camille didn't want to waste any more time. She reminded Page once

again that she could leave and then asked Yessica to come in and

escort her out.

Regardless of what Page said, Camille pretended not to hear.

Let her be angry if she wants to be angry. It didn't matter to Camille

anyway.

After leaving Camille's company, Page immediately called Brody and

told him about the situation. Of course, she didn't mention her demand

for gifts; she only said that Camille refused.

There was a brief silence from Brody's end, and then he said, "Arrange

a meeting with Mrs. Nores. Use the excuse of having afternoon tea to

discuss this matter with her."

"Arrange a meeting with Mrs. Nores?" Page wasn't familiar with Mrs.

Nores. They hadn't met much, so how could she approach her about

this?

Brody replied, "If you don't arrange a meeting with Mrs. Nores, and

Camille has been refusing all along, then tell me, what should we do?"

"But it was the Nores family who did something wrong. If we take the

initiative to meet with them, won't we be allowing them to take

advantage?" Page argued.

"Are you still considering that now? Let me tell you, you better handle

this matter for me quickly. Otherwise, if Armstrong Corp faces any

crisis, everything you're enjoying right now will be gone.”

Brody began to threaten Page because he didn't have a better solution.

Since Camille refused to back down, he could only send Page to

approach the Nores family.

However, Page was unwilling to do so, and naturally, she got into a

heated argument with Brody. The couple's phone conversation was

intense, and their tones were far from pleasant. Onlookers couldn't help

but turn around repeatedly, wanting to eavesdrop on the drama.

But Page didn't think it was a big deal. Both she and Brody were in a

state where they had to win in any situation, with anyone. They could

only feel satisfied if they came out on top.

As for the process, they didn't care. As long as the outcome was what

they desired, it was enough.

This heated exchange continued for a while until Brody abruptly ended

the call, not giving Page a chance to speak. Page was so angry that

she almost threw her phone. She took a deep breath, her face

contorting into an ugly expression. After careful consideration, she

came to the conclusion that it was all Camille's fault. If Camille hadn't

caused trouble, Page wouldn't have ended up in this situation. How

could Brody have the opportunity to order her to please the Nores

family?

The more Page thought about it, the worse her expression became.

She narrowed her eyes and grew increasingly indifferent. Since Camille

refused to apologize, wasn't it all about saving face?

Fine then. If Camille valued her dignity so much, she would make sure

Camille had none.

The more Page thought about it, the more she thought her idea was

right. So, she headed straight for her car.

Sienna got wind of Page's actions and walked into Camille's office with

a concerned look, asking, "Are you okay?"

Camille shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

Sienna continued, "What did she say? Why did she want to see you?"

“It's all because of the Nores family. She wanted me to go and find

Alicia, tell her that I'm not holding a grudge against them, and even

asked me to apologize to Alicia!" Camille roughly explained Page's

words to Sienna. The more she spoke, the more she found it amusing.

It was truly laughable. Why would a mother be like this?

Camille could understand why Page treated Grace better, but she

couldn't comprehend why Page would unconditionally side with an

outsider when dealing with others.

Was she deliberately making herself detestable?

Camille's expression turned cold, and the look in her eyes grew even

icier. The more she thought about it, the more heart-wrenching it

became.

Sienna's face also turned grim after hearing all of this. She angrily said,

"Who does she think she is, making you apologize to Alicia? Is she out

of her mind? Is she an idiot? Or has she become rusty after being

pampered for so long?"
