Chapter 353 Conditions
"Of course not, I know we are a couple, but there are some things that
even if we are a couple I think we have to separate some of them,
because I don't want the other person to carry the responsibility and
trouble for me that I shouldn't."
"It's not a hassle.â
âI'm just using a metaphor, I know your good intentions and I
understand your heart, but Ayan, the Simpson Group is not yours
alone, there's Dad and Grandpa, we have to think about them too."
Camille spoke seriously and did not notice the obvious smile that
surfaced as the man looked into her eyes.
When her words were finished, Ayan handed her the content of the
message from Kian displayed on her phone screen: "The mansion has
been signed into contract, and Kian will finish the closing procedures
within tomorrow."
Camille stared at Ayan in shock, "When did you have someone do
this?"
"While still at the office, I overheard your mother having someone sell
the mansion in Flento City."
Ayan just brought it up in a sentence, and Camille didn't think much of
it.
Camille said, "After the closing you tell me how much and I'll transfer it
to you."
"No need." He was firm.
Camille wrinkled her brow, "Ayan, I don't have anything else in mind, I
know we're married and I understand that spending your money isn't a
big deal, but the mansion is something I want to honor my grandmother
with, so ...."
"Since you know that we are husband and wife, this mansion is our
husband and wife's filial piety to grandma, Camille, the reason why I
am doing this is not to make you give me the money, I just want you to
understand that not everything needs to be handled by you personally,
you are the one with a husband, you can properly leave your matters to
me, eh? *
His voice was low, his deep black eyes were fixed on her, and that
handsome face was wrapped in tenderness.
Camille's heart is like a warmth flowing through, that temperature can
not be dissipated for a long time.
Her eyes were vacant as she stared at Ayan for a long time before she
said softly, "Okay, I get it."
Ayan's words touched her.
Ayan asked, "She suddenly did these things when her grandmother's
surgery was approaching, did she really just want to sell the house in
exchange for you? Or do you have some other plans?"
Camille was also stunned, she hadn't thought that deeply.
Her face instantly froze and she shook her head, "I don't know, I can't
imagine what she's going to do?"
âIt's good that you have a bottom in your heart and a defense for
everything, huh?"
She nodded, but the gloom on her face remained undiminished.
Ayan covered her eyes and then had her lie down as he said in a clear
voice, "Okay, it's time to go to sleep. I'm not telling you this to keep you
preoccupied, just to give you a heads up, and as for the rest, I'll keep
an eye on it for you, okay?"
"But you have your own things to do too."
"At least until Grandma's surgery is over, huh?"
Camille nodded, and a smile appeared on her face.
She suddenly felt good to be married, never had such a feeling. She
used to only want to marry Ayan, then she was preoccupied with how to
cultivate her feelings to make him like her, then he wanted a divorce,
and she was just preoccupied with it, but this time, she felt a sense of
dependence.
She couldn't help but mentally murmur, âIs this, like, a good place to
start?"
Because of Ayan's words, Camille becomes defensive about Page,
who has previously gone to the hospital behind her back to see her
grandmother and said very disrespectful things to her, so she still feels
uneasy.
But just in case, Camille called Grace the next morning.
She asked Grace for help, softened her attitude and confessed her
inner concerns, hoping that Grace could help keep an eye on Page's
every move in the matter of Grandma, not spying, or at least not let
Page do anything until Grandma's surgery was over.
Grace asks, "Cami, do you suspect Mom of trying to harm Grandma?"
âI'm not suspicious, I just want to avoid something like that." Not
wanting to say anything more than what she meant, she told Grace,
"Grandma means a lot to me, and I'm not going to force you to help me
guard against them, but I'm talking to you with a discussion, and if you
want I can grant you a request.â
Grace asked smoothly, "You'll agree to any request?â
"As long as I can do it, I'll say yes." Camille said.
Grace smiled, "Cami, if you were to divorce Ayan, would you be willing
to do the same?"
Camille frowned slightly, and instead of answering, she simply asked,
"So your request is for me to divorce Ayan?"
"What if it is?"
âI don't think that's the only thing you're asking for, and can you be sure
that if I divorce him, he'll marry you 100%?"
Camille asked in a shallow voice, without any mockery or provocation,
just the tone of a normal question, so it didn't make Grace feel
uncomfortable.
But Grace knew in her heart that she was right. Even if she and Ayan
were divorced, so what?
Even if there is no more Camille, Ayan can't marry her.
Grace silently sketched out a self-deprecating smile, recalling that
birthday Ayan's every move towards Camille was enough to show how
much he valued her.
She was briefly silent, then changed the subject: âI know what to do,
and Grandma used to love me, so I'll see to it."
Camille was stunned for a moment, then said, "Thank you."
Grace did not speak.
Camille added: "I said I would promise you a request, when you think of
anything you need me to do you can tell me, it's always valid.â
Camille does a lot for her grandmother and makes Grace realize that
she is only cold to the Armstrong family, but she is quite caring to her
grandmother.
Because she agreed to Camille's request, Grace naturally couldn't do
nothing.
She took the opportunity to test Page after Brody went back to the
study after lunch, and she asked, "Mom, are you really going to trade
the sale of the mansion with Cami in exchange for this? But what if she
doesn't agree?"
"The answer doesn't matter now."
Page said faintly.
Grace asked in disbelief, "Why?"
"Because the mansion has been sold, it doesn't matter now even if
Camille doesn't help, I already have a new law.â
"What's the law?"
Page loves Grace and feels that everything in the Armstrong family is
Grace's in the future, so she has nothing to hide from Grace.
So also said directly: "I recently negotiated a foreign investment
company, because we Armstrong Corp is an old enterprise, so want to
inject capital to our Armstrong Corp development of new business, I
have promised each other, now waiting for each other to come to
Hance City to sign the contract, this cooperation not only This
cooperation not only can make Armstrong Corp's status in the circle to
the next level, but also can solve all of Armstrong Corp's current
difficulties.â
Page's words were like a pie in the sky, making Grace look grave.
She asked, "Mom, are you sure the other side wants to invest in
Armstrong Corp?â
"Sure."
"Armstrong Corp doesn't have any worthwhile counterparties to invest
in today, don't you think it's not such a good thing?"
"Grace, how are you talking? Armstrong Corp is only in a temporary
predicament, our company has the bottom line, people are looking at
the old business, do you understand?â
âThe other side has no conditions? She would rarely speak to Page in
such a questioning tone, showing how much she opposed and
disapproved of the matter.
Page put down the dishes in his hand, the look under his eyes with a
dodge: "Of course not, we've already talked about the terms."
"What are the conditions?" Grace asked with a frown.
