All along, she knew she was dispensable to the Page or Armstrong
family.
Later, after marrying Ayan, except for Page, the Armstrongs will be a
little more relaxed towards her, but only to the face, as for the back who
knows how?
But Page was always cold to her whenever she was there, and to put it
mildly, not as good as a stranger.
Upon hearing Camille's response, Page was briefly silent and then
repeated, "Are you really pregnant?"
Camille frowned slightly and said lightly, âIf you don't believe me, why
are you calling?"
"Cami , why didn't you tell mommy when you were really pregnant? Are
you at home or at the office now? I'm going over with your dad to check
on you."
Camille was slightly taken aback by the magnitude of Page's
transformation.
Without waiting for Camille's answer, Page asked again, "Is it at home?
Then Daddy and I will go over there now. You are pregnant now, you
need to eat more fruits, I will buy them for you."
Page's enthusiasm kept Camille on her toes for a long time.
The only thing she could think of at the moment was that it was good
that Ayan had gone to the office after dinner so that she wouldn't have
to see Brody, Page, because her mind was subconsciously thinking
about Armstrong Corp being rejected by the Simpson Group for the
partnership.
She just prayed that she was overthinking it.
Nearly forty minutes or so.
Brody and Page arrived at the apartment, the two sat on the couch and
looked around the apartment, then said lightly, "You're pregnant now,
why do you still live here?" Ayan and the Simpsons have no plans to
change your apartment?
"It's good for me to live here now and to take care of my grandmother.â
Camille intentionally mentioned her grandmother, but Page didn't react,
just wrinkled her nose and said, "Cami, now that you're pregnant, you
should take this opportunity to sit back and enjoy the benefits you're
entitled to."
Probably worried that Camille did not listen and pulled Brody, Brody is
also hurriedly echoed: "Your mother is right, since you are pregnant,
then in the future do not mention the word divorce, in addition, after you
are pregnant, Callum there did not say to give you shares?"
âTold you, I turned it down.â
"Refuse? What's wrong with you Camille , how can you refuse?"
Brody was immediately excited to hear this.
Brody said, "Camille, do you know what you're doing, the shares that
Callum gave you are not only yours but ours, the Armstrong family, why
didn't you talk to me about it?"
âI don't think this needs to be discussed. the Armstrongs are the
Armstrong family and the Simpsons are the Simpson family, how can
they be confused?â
"You ...."
Brody was furious.
He glared at Camille: "Tell Ayan to resume the partnership with
Armstrong Corp, which is seriously affecting Armstrong's profitability.â
"So that's why you made a special trip over here?"
Camille looked warmly at her parents sitting on the sofa and the fruit
basket they had bought in front of her on the coffee table, and she felt
clearly at this moment what hypocrisy was like.
Brody sulked and didn't say anything.
Page said, "Whatever our purpose is, we're doing it for the good of the
Armstrong family, and you're the Armstrong, so of course you have to
look out for the Armstrong family."
Camille pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
The atmosphere then quieted down.
Brody asked lightly, "What do you mean you're not talking?"
âThere's no point, it's just that I may not be able to do what you're
asking because I'm not in charge of the Simpson Group, so there's
nothing I can do about it."
âYou talk to Ayan, he'll say yes, you're pregnant with the Simpson now,
he won't be inconsiderate.â
âI don't use children to get what I want, Simpson Group's termination of
contract with Armstrong Corp is the reason for both companies, you
shouldn't go to me, but from Armstrong Corp."
She asked Ayan if it was simply because the two of them were getting
divorced that they were terminating their contract with the Armstrong
family; if it was because of her, she would have already mentioned to
Ayan about resuming the partnership.
But since it's not because of her, she won't mention it, much less use
the child to kidnap Ayan .
Camille's attitude is so firm that Brody and Page are furious.
There was a heated argument at the end, and the whole time it was
Brody and Page who were angry at Camille for being wrong.
Even Grandma was alarmed at the end.
Grandma looked at the two also with a sullen and somewhat
displeased face and asked, "Is this how you are parents?"
Page and Brody were silent, but they didn't stay much longer and left.
Mileage didn't mean to say hello to her grandmother, leaving Camille
feeling chilled and sulky.
She helped her grandmother sit down, then whispered soothingly,
"Grandma, don't take it to heart, they ......."
"Afraid that I'll be sad and upset?" Grandma interrupted, "I'm not that
glassy-eyed, I'm too old to think that much. I just want you to be well
now, as for the rest, I don't care!"
âI knew you loved me the most."
"Okay, I'm tired, I'm going back to rest!" Grandma pushed Camille's
head away from leaning on her straight away, with a slight look of
disgust on her face.
Camille gives a slight pause, a little hurt.
After Grandma left, her melancholy eyes deepened, Brody, Page's
behavior made her really feel quite ridiculous.
She still overestimated them.
What did not want to happen, still happened.
So what else is there to remember?
Brody, Page did not give up on this, in Camille here can not be said,
Brody went directly to the Simpson Group to Ayan.
When Ayan returned in the evening, he brought it up with Camille, who
asked him point blank, "Would it be good for Simpson Group to
continue working with Armstrong Corp?â
"Can't talk about it!"
Ayan looked at Camille and understood what she meant by this
question, but finally chose to answer truthfully.
"Since there is no benefit, let's follow the normal Simpson Group
procedures, I don't want you to dole out charity to me and the
Armstrong family because of the baby, after all, I won't thank you if you
do."
"Alms? You're good with words, but isn't it a little harsh to go straight to
the heart like that?"
"Ruthless?"
Camille looked at him lightly, she didn't think it was cruel because it
wasn't something trivial, it was between two businesses, and she didn't
want to use her unborn child to gain advantage.
So what's wrong with being straightforward?
Faced with her rational decision, Ayan also subconsciously narrowed
his eyes slightly, he asked in a low voice: "Do you just choose to work
with Armstrong Corp because you don't want me to do it for the sake of
the baby or do you not want to feel indebted to me because of this?"
"What's the difference?"
"How is there no difference? The former is your concern, and the latter
is because you're afraid of owing me so you won't."
âBut isn't the end result the same for both?" Camille looked at him, her
eyes were light, and her tone was inaudible with too many emotions
and ripples, she said, "Ayan, it doesn't really matter what I think about
this, because you are the final decision maker, you are making the
decision from the perspective of the Simpson Group, not from the
perspective of our relationship as a couple, so whether you say the
former or the latter is is irrelevant to me."
Camille's too much sobriety left Ayan in silence.
He didn't quite understand whether she was analyzing this rationally
because she didn't want to bother him or for some other reason?
This topic did not continue, if we say more probably will happen again
different disagreement.
But Ayan suddenly thought of something and his deep eyes gazed at
Camille and asked in a low voice, "Are you angry with me and therefore
upset?"
