Chapter 258: Malice

Her eyes shrank sharply, “I haven't told anyone.”

More importantly, she never took it seriously.

Her face was slightly solemn and her eyes were filled with complicated

unease, “Ayan, do you suspect that someone stole the system from

me?”

“Not suspect, I'm sure.” Ayan put it bluntly and analyzed patiently, “You

knew the location of the monitor, but you didn’t take it seriously, which

was owing to the fact that you didn't think it was going to happen these

things. However, someone else was likely to know that. But it didn’t

mean that it was leaked from you, or it may be leaked from the workers

who installed it on the construction site.”

Camille recalled carefully in her mind.

She really hadn't mention it to anyone.

Even Sienna didn’t know that.

Because she generally didn’t mention things irrelevant with them, which

was her habit for many years and also because of her some

professionalism in her own work.

Camille nodded. She could understand.

It seemed that only she knew everything, but if somebody wants know,

they will find out in other ways.

But who would do that?

The man must know some things and habits her and Ayan.

Seeing Camille lose herself in thought, Ayan lifted his hand and gently

stroked her cheek, “Don't think about it too much. The reason why I tell

you is that I don’t want you to hear it from others. Would you like to

have lunch with me?”

Camille looked at him and nodded.

With a silent sigh, she said, “Grandma's operation is a few days away.

She's also very worried after knowing the accident. I haven't been there

today. I don’t know how to tell her for fear that she’s too anxious.”

“That's alright. I'll call her later to explain.”

Camille smiled and nodded.

Simpson Group remained the most heated and didn’t weaken. The

reporters couldn't get anything from Ayan and Camille and there were

bodyguards following them all the time. So, they turned their attention

to other people.

They tried their best to get first-hand information.

Eileen’ mother was to have a surgery. As a dutiful daughter, she had to

come to the hospital.

On finishing her training, she asked her agent to drive her to the

hospital at once.

When Eileen arrived at the hospital, the reporters who got the news

form someone unknown waited at the gate immediately. As soon as

she came out, they rushed up at once.

“Miss. Khan, excuse me. Do you have anything to say about Simpson

Group's accident?”

“Miss. Khan, do you know what is the truth?”

“Is it really caused by Simpson Group using non-compliant materials

without permission? Does it mean that there are problems with other

projects and those that have been perfected before?”

Eileen's face was also chilled by the sharp questioning.

She replied, “I don't believe that Ayan and Simpson Group would do

such a thing. I think you should all know how trustworthy Simpson

Group is, right? This matter has not yet been clarified, and I hope that

people can give the most basic respect to Simpson Group considering

its contribution to Hance City.”

Eileen's answer was completely correct.

For one thing, she expressed her position. For another, she tried to

make them understand they shouldn't treat others unjustly before the

results came out. More importantly, Simpson Group has made a lot of

contributions to Hance City, even if it was wrong, it won't be criticized

until the results came out, let alone everything was still under

investigation.

The reporters were not surprised to her position and asked, “Miss.

Khan, you have been Mr. Simpson's ex-girlfriend. Now Mr. Simpson

married Miss. Armstrong. Why are you still willing to stand up for

Simpson Group?”

Eileen smiled. As soon as she was about to answer, the agent sopped

her and gave her a look indicating that she should stop talking.

However, Eileen smiled slightly, “It doesn’t matter. There is no reason

for me to do this. Ayan is pretty nice. Even we can't be lovers, we can

also be best friends. We sincerely hope that everything would be fine

for each other.”

“Miss. Khan, you are very kind. Does Miss. Armstrong know your

relationship?”

“Of course. I hope Ayan and Camille can be happy all the time and I'll

bless them. Maybe we had some misunderstandings before, Camille

once planned to divorce. But we made it clear later. Now they're fine.

Please don't bother them.”

The reporters at the scene caught the most important point from

Eileen's words instantly.

The reporter asked, “Miss. Khan, do you mean that Miss. Armstrong

planned to divorce before?”

Eileen kept smiling, “I just said that she had the intention due to our

misunderstanding. But I persuaded her and the misunderstanding was

resolved. Now we're good friends. I have to leave first. I will invite

everyone to dinner after this matter is cleared.”

Eileen got into the car before the reporters could ask any more

questions.

Sitting in the car, Philomel, Eileen’s agent, looked at her. “Eileen, you

shouldn't have said those words and talked to the reporters just now.

you will get yourself into trouble.”

“I'm just being honest. I didn’t say anything that can't be said. What's

more, Simpson Group and Ayan are in trouble now. I have to clarify it

with the reporters.”

Eileen didn't think that she did anything wrong. What she said was for

the sake of Ayan.

As for Camille.

Well, she had to get herself out of it.

The corners of Eileen's mouth rose slightly, revealing a triumphant

sneer.

Then she closed her eyes, put on her eye patch, and leaned against

the back seat to rest.

Philomel glanced at her with a complicated look in his eyes. Finally, she

picked up her mobile phone and sent a message quietly.

Simpson Group

Ayan was working on other projects in the office. Kian opened the

doors anxiously. He glanced at Kian with displeasure and a warning

look in his eyes. “What's the fuss?”

“Eileen went to the hospital and met a group of reporters. She talked to

the reporter indiscriminately. I received a message from her agent just

now, but she can't confirm who those reporters are?”

Ayan immediately put down the pen and documents in his hand, and

looked at the time with a cold expression. “Contact the media and

reporters who have a good relationship with Simpson Group at once.

No matter what they require, get the words and have a check.

“Well, I'll contact them now.”

“Deal with it personally.”

"OK."

Ayan's face was cold, and his eyes were full of cold anger.

However, he didn't expect that the incident went viral so quickly that

within half an hour, the video and the text of the interview Eileen had

just given overwhelmed the internet. Because someone maliciously

edited, Camille was thrown into the storm.

The video deliberately pointed to Camille, indicating that Camille

caused the accident and she didn’t want get divorced with Ayan aiming

to let Simpson Group help Armstrong Corp.

The netizens voiced that Camille should take on the responsibility. she

can't let others pay for it because of her own faults.

Kian got in touch with one of the reporters who interviewed Eileen at

the hospital just now.

The man replied, “Sorry, Mr. Reid. I was too far back, so my photograph

was very vague. The reporters in front were all newcomers, and I didn't

know them very well. I can’t contact them for you.”

Then he sent the video but Kian couldn't hear anything from it.

Kian told Ayan truthfully. When he saw the commotion at the scene, his

face was cold and solemn, as if it was covered with broken ice.

He remained silent for a few seconds and then called Camille

immediately.

But Camille's phone was busy, and he couldn't get through.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and his deep eyes were wrapped in thick

darkness. Thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and the hand

holding the mobile phone was subconsciously tightened.

He could clearly feel his heart beating, as if it were held tightly by

something, which made it hard to breathe.
