Chapter 354 - Foolishness
Page didn't want to say more: "Grace, why are you so talkative today?
What is mom doing for you? Am I going to harm you?"
"Mom, it's because you won't hurt me that I'm trying to figure it out, and
I'm worried that you're being lied to."
Grace walked over to Page and sat down, worried that Brody might
hear her, so her anxious tone revealed repression.
Page looked at Grace hesitated for a few seconds, then told the truth: "I
promised to give the other side half of Armstrong Corp, I have
mentioned it to your father, he has no opinion, everything is left to me to
decide.â
âI don't agree." With a face of rejection, Grace said, "This matter cannot
be rushed like this, we need to consider it properly, and we also need to
assess the business ability and integrity of the other company.â
"Grace, the opportunity is not waiting for anyone, I have checked
everything that should be checked.â Page Ling Ling said: "Armstrong
Corp is getting worse every day, what's the point of doing worse and
worse like this? Originally I wanted to use the sale of the mansion to
force Camille to go to Ayan to help the Armstrong family, but Camille
refused, and the mansion was bought, now all I can do is to try to work
with the investment company, and then Camille's side continues to hide
her, so that she can find a way to go to Ayan to help Armstrong Corp."
"She's from the Armstrong family, she can't do nothing for the
Armstrong family anyhow, can she?"
Page did not think her request was excessive in any way. On the
contrary, she felt that because Camille had given everything for
Armstrong Corp, especially now that she was Ayan's wife, she should
let the Simpson Group help Armstrong Corp, and if Ayan and Camille
divorced later, she would only regret it then. It would be too late to
regret.
Page kept talking, so he didn't notice Grace's expression change at all.
Grace looked at Page with a completely unbelievable face, she was
very shocked, this is still the biological parents treating their own
daughter should be calculating?
She understood in time why Camille was so cold to the Armstrong
family?
Why don't you want to be associated with the Armstrong family more
often?
She asked in a low voice, "Mom, wasn't it enough for Cami to help find
someone to handle things internally when Armstrong Corp was in
trouble? If she hadn't found reliable people to adjust the company's
internal operation mode, I'm afraid the mess left to us now would only
be more."
âThat's enough, Grace, or you are too simple, since she has this
network and ability then she should do more for Armstrong Corp,
besides, she also named Armstrong, is this not what she should be?"
"Mom ..."
"What's wrong with you? Did Camille say something to you to confuse
you?"
Page directly interrupted Grace's words, Grace seems to have changed
a bit recently, not as obedient and well-behaved as before, always feel
vaguely reveal a few stubborn and rebellious.
But Page wasn't so sure, maybe she was just overthinking it, so she
didn't ask Grace anything further.
But Grace still felt very uneasy in her heart, she wanted to advise Page
not to trust foreign investment companies, because many companies
are shell companies, and may not be able to steal the chicken, and in
the end even Armstrong Corp will also be involved.
But Page was completely deaf, and Grace didn't know what to do.
She thought carefully, this is not the way to go on, and after hesitation,
she told Camille everything.
She asked Camille, "Cami, what should we do? Mom is totally
obsessed right now, she thinks the investment company sees
Armstrong Corp as a prospect and an old company, but you know
better than I do how Armstrong Corp really is, right?"
"So what do you expect me to do? Persuade her to dismiss the idea?
But do you think that's possible? That she would listen to me?"
Camille smiled to herself, how could Page possibly listen to her?
Even Grace, her most beloved daughter, couldn't be convinced, so how
could she not?
Grace was asked no sound, Camille said: "I am not qualified to
dissuade her, in fact, compared to the person who can make her
change her mind is you, since you understand that there can be no free
lunch under the sky, then do everything possible to stop her, the other
party wants half of the shares of Armstrong Corp, then the Armstrong
family Once the other party finds a way to take the largest stake, the
Armstrong family in Armstrong Corp will completely lose the right to
speak, if the other party uses Armstrong Corp to do something illegal,
the Armstrong family as the legal person of Armstrong Corp is required
to bear the cost. "
Camille spoke directly and clearly about all the consequences and
costs, which Grace had not thought of, and Grace only thought about
why the other side would invest in a company that was not worth
investing in.
Now after listening to Camille's analysis, she then realized that she had
thought too much.
Grace according to Camille said to do whatever it takes to stop Page
from signing a contract with the other party, but also revealed to
Camille: "Mom said the mansion has been sold, Cami, if you want to
buy it back I can take my savings out to you, but you promise me not to
hold a grudge against Mom, she is also too worried about the company
Grace did not say that Page was still planning to use Camille to get
Ayan to help Armstrong Corp, because she was afraid that Camille
would resent Page, so she said as little as she could.
But Camille wouldn't ask for her money and just said lightly, âI know, I'll
think of something, if there's nothing else, then that's it for now."
"Hmm."
Grace gave a low hmmm.
The uneasiness in Camille's heart did not diminish when she ended the
call.
Is it too much of a surprise that someone from Armstrong Corp
suddenly wants to invest in a foreign company?
She sighed silently, the gloom on her face growing deeper and deeper.
In the evening, she went to the hospital to stay with her grandmother,
and tomorrow morning is the day of surgery.
She was not worried about her grandmother, so she planned to
accompany her at the hospital overnight. She sent a message to Ayan
on the way to the hospital to understand, who knew that Ayan also
rushed over to the hospital directly, and the two met at the hospital.
She asked, "What brings you here?"
"Not staying at the hospital with Grandma? I'm coming over to keep you
company.â
There is nothing wrong with what he said.
Camille: "Actually, you don't have to go to such trouble, you can go
back to rest after working all day and come back tomorrow morning."
"No trouble." He was brief and concise with no extra words.
Camille smiled faintly, then the two held hands and walked towards the
ward.
Camille took the opportunity to take the initiative to bring up with Ayan
what Grace had said on the phone and she asked, "Do you think this
foreign investment company has an agenda?"
Ayan face slightly light, deep black eyes stored in a high indifference,
but the voice is still mild: "At present can not see the other party's
purpose, can only see that the other party is probably a fool."
"Hmm?"
"If it were you, would you invest in Armstrong Corp today? Is it more
money and more foolishness? Or is it that people are stupid and have
too much money?"
"So you think there's a problem too, right?"
Camille also has this idea in mind, but just didn't speak directly to
Grace too bluntly.
Ayan gave a low muffled hmmm as he said, "What do you think?"
âI don't know, but there's certainly no way I can change their minds or
decisions, so can you help me check if the other side is reliable or not?"
"Good." Ayan nodded, "If you ask, I'll say yes."
Camille's eyes are downcast with a light smile, and her heart is warm
and happy.
But the other side is a foreign company, the investigation is not so fast,
it will take some time, I just hope Grace in the absence of clear before
the block Page not so fast to make a decision.
When she came to the ward, Grandma saw the two of them coming
together, holding hands again, exactly like the number one fan: âI'm
happy to see you two well."
Camille and Ayan looked at each other and smiled.
Grandma looked at Camille's bulging belly and she asked Ayan, "Cami
is due in a few months, Ayan, do you like boys or girls?"
