Camille asked with a slight narrowing of her lips, "Ayan, why have you
been trying to bribe me lately?"
Ayan laughed.
He caressed her cheek, his deep eyes gazing at her to see, "So do you
want to be bribed by me?"
Instead of answering, Camille asks, "What's in it for you to bribe?"
Ayan frowned, she was talking about the conditions.
He said, "What do you want in return?"
Camille narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly, "Ayan, you're a
businessman, you're not going to let me earn it, are you?"
Ayan hooked his lips and smiled, then whispered:"
Ayan narrowed his eyes, said lightly: âWhether there is this thing can be
let go, you have done enough, the next is the Armstrong family to make
their own decisions, if you have been seized not to put the final effort to
please or you, eh?"
Ayan woke up the dreamer with a single word, completely nailing the
conflict in Camille's heart.
Although she was named Armstrong, she didn't have the same
righteousness that Grace had.
Camille smiled inwardly to herself, how realistic and cruel the truth is.
The next morning, Camille woke up to a video.
It was sent to her by Mario's secretary, and the video shows the police
arresting Elijah at Armstrong Corp.
Elijah was taken to the police by Grace with the evidence, and the
Simpson Group settled the project money from his account. Elijah did
not have any excuse to face the questioning, because all the evidence
was in front of him, and he could not deny it.
Before Elijah was taken to the police to be investigated, he stared at
Grace and cursed: "The Armstrong family is to blame for this, your
father deserved it, hahahahaha ....... The Armstrong family will get
what's coming to them, and you'll get what's coming to you!
Camille wrinkled her brow and then sent a message asking, "What
does he mean by that, and did Grace have any reaction?"
"He didn't say what it meant, just some curses and then he was taken
away by the police for investigation, as for your sister Grace there was
no reaction, do I need to ask her?"
"No need, it's hard work for you guys.â
"Miss Camille is very kind."
Camille put her phone away, her eyebrows knitted slightly, Elijah's
comment was a reaction to being annoyed at being exposed for what
he had done?
Or is he expressing his inner dissatisfaction with the Armstrong family?
But the Armstrong family had treated him well, so why should he be
upset?
Camille narrowed her eyes with a cold look under them, Ayan also
came out of the bathroom at that moment after washing up, he looked
at her and asked, "What's that look?"
Camille handed the phone in her hand to Ayan: "I just got this, Elijahâs
been arrested.â
Ayan reached over and took the phone to watch the video on it, then
stared at Camille lightly, âYou think there's something wrong with his
words?"
"Don't you think it's strange?"
He didn't answer and repeated the look again.
And only then said indifferently: "Retribution? What kind of retribution
would it be? For not satisfying his insatiable desire for profit?"
Camille also just faintly shook her head: âI do not know, but Elijah was
arrested Dad's side should also know, if there is really something, they
will not know in their hearts?"
Her expression fell into silence, and there was always an uneasiness in
her heart.
In the hospital.
Grace told Brody about Elijah and reassured him, âDad, that Elijah is a
wolf, he hurt Armstrong Corp because of our kindness to him, and now
he is finally brought to justice, you have to get well, Armstrong Corp
needs you now! Armstrong Corp needs you now!"
Brody's face is slightly light, he nodded his head under his eyes flooded
with thick profound, he did not say anything, just faintly said: "Well."
Grace looked at his reaction too light and was also a bit baffled.
Page whispered: "Grace, your father is a little tired, these things or wait
until he is discharged from the hospital, as for that Elijah, caught it, this
kind of person is also considered that we the Armstrong family blind
white trust, this time, ah, thanks to you, if not for you the Armstrong
family now do not know how it will be! *
"Mom, actually ......."
"Brody, as you can see, there is a big difference between those who
are kept around and those who are not. I think we should bring Grace
into the company officially when you recover and get out of the hospital,
Armstrong Corp will be handed over to Grace sooner or later, as for
Camille, I will pretend that she was never born, she is too cold-blooded,
she doesn't deserve the She doesn't deserve anything from the
Armstrong family.â
Page is filled with resentment and anger towards Camille. For her, she
cannot control her resentment towards Camille as long as she thinks of
Camille's indifference.
Because she still thinks that Camille is the one who caused it, if Camille
did not refuse to help, it would not have happened so many things
behind, so everything is Camille's fault.
Brody just sulked and said indifferently, "Okay, leave me alone."
Brody has not been in a good mood throughout since he woke up.
Page was silent at this point.
But Grace was frowning and couldn't help but say, "Mom and Dad,
actually things are not as you think, since Armstrong Corp had an
accident, Camille has been helping, she also found two professionals
from Flento City who are good at handling this crisis and are taking
care of it a little bit. Armstrong Corp, Elijah is also Camille found to find
out clearly, if not Camille, Dad you in the hospital can not be so quiet.â
Grace's words quieted the atmosphere, and neither Brody nor Page
spoke.
Grace whispered, "So mom you need to stop talking about her like that,
okay?"
Page's face stiffened slightly and said faintly, "She helped only because
she was afraid that people outside would say she was thin-skinned, not
to mention that these things were originally caused by her.â
Grace wrinkled her nose and tried to convince Page otherwise, but the
nurse came in with the medicine for Brody to take at that moment, so
she was out of chances to say so.
The Armstrong family because Elijah was arrested, a lot of things also
unraveled, as for the two employees who were injured got the
compensation they should get, but Armstrong Corp did not renew the
contract with them, as for wanting to use the hand to knock a sum of
money naturally also did not succeed.
However, Armstrong Corp's fundamental problems have not yet been
fully resolved, and the debt owed is still a significant amount, excluding
the unequal terms and the portion swallowed by Elijah.
Therefore, at the suggestion of Mario's secretary, Grace sold off much
of Armstrong Corp's real estate to pay off its debts, which led to a
steady decline in Armstrong Corp's standing in the business world, but
this was good news for Armstrong Corp and the Armstrong family, as it
was the only way to stay in bankruptcy and retain Armstrong Corp's
existence.
Also because of this change, Page quit the house maid, and the
original lively atmosphere became cold and quiet.
Brody was also discharged a few days later to the Armstrong family to
recuperate, he has become quiet since the accident, and sometimes
can be alone all day.
Grace was a little uneasy, so she took the initiative to talk to Camille:
âDad is not in a good mood, I don't know if it's because of the
Armstrong Corp problem, he keeps locking himself in the study alone,
and he ignores it even when he takes the initiative to talk to him.
"He didn't react or say anything when Elijah was arrested?"
"No."
"Not surprised or unexpected? No anger?"
"No."
Grace murmured, "Camille, why do you ask that, what's wrong?"
âIs it convenient for me to go over there in the evening?"
Camille did not answer, Brody was discharged back to the Armstrong
family, and it was logical that she should visit as well.
But only if they want to.
