Chapter 341 - The Collapse

Chapter 341 - The Collapse

Just thinking about it, he couldn't help but think that Camille was going

to break up with him for Preston, but then Dr. Ellis’ instructions just

came to mind.

She can't get emotional now, she has to stay in a happy mood, so the

words that came out of his mouth suddenly stopped abruptly and

stopped.

Camille looked at him, thinking he was going to say something else, so

she too looked at him in silence.

As for the words he just said, it was hard to breathe as if her heart was

clenched tightly by something.

But after a long time Ayan did not speak, Camille looked at him in

confusion: "What do you have to say!"

Ayan's attitude softened, not as tough as before, he looked at Camille

after deep thought before asking the doubts he had always hidden in

his heart, he said: "I only have one question, you tell me, have you and

Preston been together or not?"

Camille frowned slightly and once again the puzzlement rose as she

asked, "Ayan, what exactly did I do to give you the illusion that I had

been with Preston? Why do you always think that? Is it because he's a

guy and that's the only friend of the opposite sex I have around?"

He was silent and did not answer.

Camille added: “I've never needed to have one foot in two boats, and I

don't need to be stuck with Preston as a backup, so if I need a forest

then why did I agree to marry you? To enjoy the thrill of the

relationship?

If I really am that kind of person, shouldn't it be more exciting to be

intimate with several people at the same time? And why should I keep

my distance from Preston?"

Camille's words are not very nice, comparing herself to a slutty woman,

but the bad words are true.

It left Ayan without any words of rebuttal as well.

He looked quietly at the woman in front of him and was silent for a long

time before saying, "Since you haven't been with Preston, who is the

ex-boyfriend you have in mind?"

Camille frowned, "Does it matter who he is?"

“If it's not important why can't you just say it straight out? If it's not

important, why are you hiding it so well? It's because you can't get over

him so you don't want me to know, right?"

Camille looked at Ayan in a daze and she laughed a little helplessly,

“You think I'm not willing to tell you who he really is because I love him

too much and can't get him out of my mind?"

“Isn't it?"

"Of course not, I just don't think someone who is unnecessary needs to

be brought up again.”

It's just an "ex-boyfriend" that he doesn't have any worries about, but

she didn't expect him to keep holding on to it.

Camille also wondered what the point of Ayan trying to figure this out

was?

But Ayan said, "Camille, you're asking me why I keep asking because I

hate being lied to. Preston himself admitted that you were together and

he's the ex that you say you can't get out of your head, and if not, why

would he say that?"

Camille frowned and froze completely.

Did Preston say that?

It should be, otherwise Ayan would have no need to lie to her.

But what does Preston mean by that?

Do you want Ayan to believe it and get colder and colder with her?

Preston knew that the person she loved in her heart was Ayan, and

also knew that she let Ayan marry her without pressure for this

unwarranted ex-boyfriend, so Preston told Ayan that he was her ex-

boyfriend, and what did Preston mean?

Just to keep Ayan from finding out that the person she loves is actually

him?

But there are many ways to keep Ayan from finding out that the person

she loves is him, and it doesn't have to be this one.

Camille mentally made a million thoughts, but none of them could

convince herself.

She found herself seeing Preston less and less clearly, as if she had

never known him.

What exactly is his purpose in doing so ah?

Camille couldn't think of an answer, so she didn't respond to Ayan

either.

The atmosphere then quieted down.

But not long after, Ayan's cell phone rang.

Sophia called him: "You're not at the office?"

"Something?"

"Well, a little thing, is the matter of cooperation projects, I just got the

news that a foreign real estate company is ready to come to Hance City

to invest in construction, if you take this cooperation has a good aid for

the subsequent listing, so do you want to consider it? *

The Simpson Group is a large company, but so far it has not gone

public.

Neither Ayan nor the Simpson family cared about the word "IPO". If the

Simpson Group needed to go public, it would have done so since the

old Simpson hand, but it didn't, and no one seems to know why.

After Sophia's words were finished, Ayan's side directly refused:

"Simpson Group doesn't need to go public, so it doesn't matter if this

cooperation can be taken or not."

"Ayan, Simpson Group can not go public, but this cooperation should

not let go, right? After all, this is the equivalent of meat to the mouth, if

you don't eat it, those companies who have eyes for Simpson Group

will not take it by the way? Isn't this going to make Simpson Group's

employees and the companies that work with Simpson Group

question?"

Sophia hopes that Ayan take this cooperation, not to mention the

Simpson Group can get how much benefit, she is mainly looking at this

cross-border cooperation of the interest chain is relatively large, if

Benson fanily with Ayan to maintain a long-term cooperation, it can also

benefit a lot.

But how could Ayan not know what was on her mind?

Ayan poked her straight in the eye: "You're not worried about how much

the Simpson Group will get, are you? You want to use the Simpson

Group to leapfrog the Benson Group into a higher class, right?"

Camille, who had been sitting on the side without any movement,

glanced at the corners of the man's thin lips and slid a light smile of

disdain, and also knew from his words that the person who had called

was Sophia.

What surprised her, however, was that Ayan never wanted Simpson

Group to go public. Although the influence of Simpson Group in the

business world today has no bearing on whether it goes public or not,

for a company to go public to make the road wider seems to be the

goal.

Camille couldn't help but stare at Ayan, wondering what was going on

in his mind.

Sophia's voice on the other end of the line continued as she said,

"Ayan, since you guessed it, I won't beat around the bush with you, I do

have this idea, but dare you say that there is no benefit for Simpson

Group to take this partnership?

OK, I also know that it doesn't matter much whether Simpson Group

wants this partnership or not, with Simpson Group's position and

achievements today it's totally at the top, but can you guarantee that

there won't be a dark horse catching up behind it?"

Sophia has completely looked away, she knows it's impossible with

Ayan, so she is now concentrating on her career.

She is the only daughter of Benson fanily and her parents have only

one child, she needs to look out for Benson fanily and take the Benson

Group for the long haul.

She knew that Ayan did not like people playing in circles, so she could

only directly confess her inner thoughts and intentions.

But Ayan just said lightly: "After all, you got more benefits than I did.

Sophia, why do you think I should take the risk of collapsing the

cooperation to get this cooperation?"

Sophia heard what he was saying.

She said, "Ayan, if you're willing to take this partnership in the name of

the Simpson Group and let me work with you on it, I'm willing to put up

five percent of the Benson Group's shares as payment.”

"Heh, what do you mean by giving me your shares in the Benson

Group?"

Ayan's face was expressionless.
