Chapter 1244: Evaluating the Situation

Even Caroline would often say, “If it weren't for knowing Mr. Simpson, I

would suspect that Kian is the CEO of Simpson Group because the

tasks he handles are exactly what a CEO would do.”

At that time, Sienna laughed and said, "That's why they can be a

president, and we can only have a small company, because they know

how to lead a team, while we have to do everything ourselves to climb

up."

While granting Kian a great deal of authority, Ayan also allowed him to

handle many tasks, so Kian's compensation was very substantial, even

higher than some company's CEOs.

Because of Ayan's words, Kian finally expressed his gratitude and sat

down. Camille personally served him porridge, and Kian was pleasantly

surprised, saying, "Thank you, Mrs. Simpson.”

Camille smiled and said, "Kian, don't be nervous. Treat it like you're at

home."

Kian nodded lightly, but he still felt a bit anxious. Although it wasn't his

first time having a meal here, every time made him nervous.

Ayan elegantly ate his porridge, and his warm and gentle voice

sounded, "What happened?"

Only then did Kian snap out of it and remember the purpose of coming

so early. He wasn't here just to have breakfast.

He put away all his nervousness and spoke in a serious tone, "Mr.

Simpson, last night I came across a trending topic while browsing.

Because it was late at night, not many people should have seen it, so

the trend wasn't very high. The content was about a supporting actor

from a filming crew who unexpectedly disappeared. The crew didn't

show any intention of finding him, and the actors from the same crew

were also surprised but didn't dare to ask too much due to the influence

of the investors."

"Do you think this trending topic was intentional? To divert everyone's

attention to Eileen?"

"Yes, that's what I think. Because Eileen's actions weren't enough to

warrant an arrest. After resolving the matter, she should have been

released from the police station. Even if Preston isn't showing up for

now, the police still have no grasp on him. But under normal

circumstances, Eileen should have returned to the public eye.”

"She's just an inconspicuous little actress. Even if she had some

popularity before, so what? Just find a reason to fire her, no need to

emphasize it. You should have people pay attention to her and keep an

eye on her."

"I understand," Kian took a sip of porridge and continued, "Mr.

Simpson, there's another matter. This morning, Mario took the early

flight back to Flento City."

"He went back to Flento City?" Ayan was also surprised and

instinctively looked at Camille, asking, "Do you know anything about

this?"

Camille shook her head, saying, "I don't know. We were on the phone

yesterday. Why would he suddenly go back to Flento City?"

Camille felt that something was off the more she thought about it, and

Ayan also sensed the abnormality. He asked, "Ask Sienna, find out if

Mrs. King knows anything about it."

"Mhm." Camille nodded and immediately sent a message to Sienna.

Ayan, on the other hand, continued questioning Kian, "Are you sure it

was Mario?"

“Yes, I'm sure. It happened out of the blue, so I'm not sure why.

According to the current situation, he shouldn't have left," Kian replied.

After all, Mario was someone who could abandon everything for a

project. This project in Hance City was his first project there and the

first market for King Group to enter Hance City. So, it didn't quite fit his

usual style of doing things for him to leave at this time.

After Kian's words, Ayan and Camille fell into a silence, instinctively

exchanging glances. Camille asked in a low voice, "Could there be

something more important than this? Because only that would explain

why he left Hance City at this time."

Ayan agreed with Camille's thoughts and nodded lightly. "That's the

only possibility for now.” Ayan looked at Kian and said, "Contact his

secretary later, but don't directly ask about Mario's purpose for

returning to Flento City. Instead, tell him that we're having dinner

tonight.”

Kian nodded, "Okay, I understand. I'll contact his secretary when I

return to the company later."

About twenty minutes later, they finished breakfast.

Ayan and Kian set off for Simpson Group. Camille didn't need to hitch a

ride today as her car was still parked in the Simpson Group's parking

lot. Ayan would have the driver take it to the company for her later, so

Camille took Sienna's car to the company.

Since Sienna hadn't replied yet, Camille left the villa with Ayan, and

then Ayan left in the car while she walked to Sienna and Rex's villa.

It was right next door, but they still had to walk a short distance

between the gates of the two villas.

After arriving at Sienna's villa, Camille saw Rex's driver waiting in the

garage. When he spotted Camille, he immediately greeted her. Camille

asked, "Have they not left yet?"

The driver replied, "Ms. Shen is still having breakfast.”

"Alright, I'll go in first.” Both drivers and secretaries frequently visited

each other's homes, so they were all familiar with each other.

Camille walked directly into the house, and the housekeeper who was

cleaning saw her and greeted her promptly. Since the layout of this villa

was the same as the one she and Ayan lived in, she felt at home and

went straight to the dining room without any hesitation.

Just as she reached the entrance of the dining room, she heard Rex

say, "Eat more. Why have you been eating less lately? Look at you,

you've gotten thinner.”

Sienna snorted and retorted, "I've gotten thinner? Are you having

problems with your eyes? How could I possibly get thinner? I've clearly

gained weight, okay? I think you're the one with ill intentions!"

“I'm telling the truth. Would I lie to you?" Rex said seriously, and Sienna

almost believed him.

But before Sienna could respond, Camille's voice rang out, "Sorry to

interrupt you guys. Did I disturb you?"

Camille's arrival brought a pleasant surprise to Sienna's face. She

immediately got up and walked to Camille's side, pulling her to sit next

to her. She asked, "Have you eaten? Do you want to try some

dumplings? Auntie made dumplings with a Northeastern flavor.”

Camille declined, saying, "I've already eaten, just a while ago.”

Sienna didn't insist, as they didn't need to be overly polite with each

other.

Rex also looked at Camille and asked, "What about Ayan? Has he

eaten? If not, call him to come and try them."

Camille replied, "He has already left for the company.”

"So early?"

"Yeah."

Sienna shook her head and sighed, "Mr. Simpson is indeed impressive.

Men who are successful in their careers are the most handsome.

Unlike some people who wake up late and go to the office late.”

The person being subtly criticized instantly put down his chopsticks and

said, "Are we comparing the time we go to the office now?"

Sienna remained silent, and Camille smiled and said, "Going to the

office early means working hard. After all, we have children to support.

Unlike you, enjoying your world of two, relaxed and carefree!"

Camille's words had a hint of teasing, but Sienna knew she was joking

on purpose, especially since Camille was always urging her to give

birth.

Rex felt like he found a comrade and quickly said, "I also want a child,

but my wife doesn't allow it! If I had a daughter, I would wake up at four

in the morning and go to the office to earn money.”

"What if it's a son?" Camille asked.

Rex said, "Then I'll make him wake up at four and go to the office to

earn money for us!"

Camille laughed, and Sienna snorted, "You're biased. With your

attitude, I dare not have a child. I'm afraid if I give birth to a son, you'll

abandon him."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?"

“I think you're a bit like that,” Sienna shook her head, not giving him

any face.

Rex didn't care that Camille was there and said directly, "You heartless

girl, ask Cami, let her judge. Am I not good enough to you?"

Sienna immediately turned to look at Camille, her eyes full of a

threatening aura as she asked, "What do you think?"

Camille didn't answer, she just looked at the two of them indifferently

and said, "I advise you two to eat quickly and stop showing affection in

front of me. Otherwise, if I cry at your place later, Ayan won't let you off

the hook."

Sienna laughed and reached out to pinch Camille's cheek.
