Chapter 1236: Full Of Tension

Chapter 1236: Full of Tension

Mrs. Nores looked at Mr. Nores and asked tentatively, “Is it possible

that Camille didn't explain clearly to Ayan? Should we call Ayan again?"

"Didn't you hear what Ayan said just now? It's obvious that the

Armstrong family is just trying to deceive us," Mr. Nores replied. He was

more rational and naturally chose to believe Ayan.

After all, this project was also at Ayan's discretion. If Ayan didn't agree,

then the project would be stuck like this.

Mr. Nores remained calm and carefully thought for a moment before

saying to Mrs. Nores, "Find a way to contact Alicia. An apology must be

made!"

Mrs. Nores defended her daughter, saying, “It was just a few wrong

words. Does Camille really think she can hold onto this because of

Ayan? I don't think the Armstrong family's upbringing is that bad. It's

Camille who is being petty and not considering the overall situation.”

Mr. Nores frowned and said displeased, "Don't talk nonsense. You can

say these things in front of me, but don't go to Alicia and speak

nonsense. Otherwise, she'll twist your words and make baseless

accusations again.”

Mr. Nores was very serious and worried that Mrs. Nores wouldn't take

his words seriously. So he arranged for his secretary to find Alicia, no

matter what, they had to locate her. The project had been delayed for

too long, and as Mario had said, Ayan could completely let go of the

project, but not Nores Group. This project was the trump card in Nores

Group's hands; otherwise, they wouldn't have waited for so many

years.

The more Mr. Nores thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was

correct, so he quickly contacted Alicia.

As for the phone call Mr. Nores made to Ayan, Ayan couldn't possibly

ignore it. After comforting Camille, he immediately sent a message to

Horace, informing him of Mr. Nores' phone call and also telling Horace

that his original plan was to stop pursuing the matter further because

he probably wouldn't be able to embarrass the Armstrong family.

Horace understood Ayan's meaning and immediately agreed. He said,

“I got it. I'll contact Mr. Armstrong right away."

"Alright, thank you."

"You're welcome."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they didn't continue the

conversation since it was already late.

Horace wasted no time and immediately called Brody.

Brody, thinking it was good news, couldn't wait and asked eagerly, "Is

the project issue resolved? Today, I had my wife personally talk to

Camille. It seems that the key is still with the Armstrong family. Only

Camille can persuade Ayan. Otherwise, who knows how long this will

drag on?"

Brody didn't bother to ask about the reason and purpose of the call; he

just started talking without giving others a chance to speak.

After Brody finished speaking, he didn't forget to ask Horace, "Now that

the project is back on track, please cooperate closely with Simpson

Group and ensure its successful completion. If there's anything, let me

know immediately.”

Horace was also a very polite person, and he wouldn't interrupt when

the other person was speaking. He waited until the other person

finished before slowly saying, "So, it was Mrs. Armstrong who went to

see Camille today?"

"Yes, I asked her to go."

"Ah." Horace deliberately sighed, his reaction completely different from

what Brody had in mind. This immediately made Brody worried, and he

asked, "What happened?”

"Mr. Armstrong, you shouldn't have sent Mrs. Armstrong. She didn't

handle the matter properly at all. Instead, she went to the Nores family

and told them that there was no need to apologize to Camille. The

Nores family believed her and immediately called Ayan to inform him

about it. But Ayan got angry after hearing it. Originally, this matter was

solely the Nores family's problem. The root of everything lies with the

Nores family. Even if this project can't continue, Ayan would still involve

Armstrong Corp in other projects. But now, you let Mrs. Armstrong

directly go to the Nores family. Isn't this slapping Camille in the face?

You should be well aware of the relationship between Camille and

Ayan. Isn't this indirectly slapping Ayan in the face?"

Horace didn't give Brody any mental preparation and directly explained

every detail of today's events, from cause to effect.

After finishing, he also sighed with a worried expression and said, "Mr.

Armstrong, this situation is not easy to handle. Ayan just called me and

asked if it was Armstrong Corp's intention. Of course, I had to say it

wasn't. As for your wife's actions, should we consider them as her

personal behavior or representative of the entire Armstrong family?"

Brody didn't hesitate and immediately said, "Of course, it's her personal

behavior. I only asked her to talk to Camille and understand the

situation, then figure out how to handle it. But she didn't inform me

about what she did."

Brody also realized the seriousness of the situation, so he didn't

hesitate to shift all the blame onto Page.

Brody's tone was no longer as triumphant as before; now he sounded

deflated. He said, "As the person in charge of Armstrong Corp, you

should communicate with Ayan properly. I don't want to deal with this

anymore. It's your responsibility!"

"What about Mrs. Armstrong?"

“You deal with her. I didn't expect her to do something like this. It's

clearly targeting Armstrong Corp!" Brody didn't say much more, found a

random excuse, and hung up the phone. As for this matter, he felt it had

nothing to do with him. He didn't want to be involved in any way.

Everything was Page's problem, everything was Page's fault.

Horace had already anticipated Brody's behavior, but he didn't expect

Brody to shift the blame so cleanly. Honestly, it was somewhat

amusing.

On Page's side, she didn't return home all night. Brody was furious and

kept trying to contact her, but her phone remained switched off. Page

only returned after daybreak the next day. Brody questioned her about

what happened yesterday, but Page didn't think she did anything

wrong. She placed all the blame on Camille, believing that Camille's

lack of respect for her led her to act that way. Brody couldn't contain his

anger and without hesitation, he slapped Page hard.

Page was already in a bad mood, and as soon as she returned home,

she was immediately hit. This was unacceptable to her, and she

couldn't hold back.

The couple started fighting right in the living room in front of the

household staff.

Although Page's physical strength was not as strong as Brody's, she

seemed to have some fighting skills. Brody's face was scratched,

covered in injuries that were shocking to see.

The conflicts within the Armstrong family continued to escalate, and

there was news from Mrs. Nores as well.

Mrs. Nores learned about Alicia's situation from Alicia's friend and went

directly to her friend's house to meet Alicia.

Seeing Alicia still searching for her in the middle of the night, Mrs.

Nores couldn't bear it. Ultimately, under the persuasion of Alicia's friend

and Mrs. Nores, Alicia agreed to apologize early the next morning.

So, early in the morning, Alicia appeared at Camille's company. She

waited for Camille to arrive, holding a bouquet of flowers, showing her

sincerity.

Alicia didn't wear any makeup today, just a simple foundation. She

looked delicate and vulnerable, especially since she hadn't had much

rest in the past couple of days. It gave the impression that she was

fragile and delicate.

Camille arrived at the company with Sienna and was informed of the

situation by Yessica as soon as they stepped inside the company's

entrance.
