Chapter 598 Revenge
"Master Tucker has left, together with Armstrong Corp's Master Burris,
do you need me to ask Mr. Reid to find a way to contact him?"
âNo, I got it, thanks."
After asking, Cora simply hung up the phone.
The reason she asked as Dan's secretary was because Dan was
involved in the project from beginning to end and had been in and out
of the Simpson Group once or twice, so the people at the Simpson
Group were familiar with him. He also got along very well with the
receptionists of Simpson Group.
Another thing was that since Dan had no personal relationship with
Ayan, there was no reason for Dan to be at the Simpson Group other
than for work.
Dan was at the Simpson Group this morning, so that meant Ayan
gathered everyone without her knowledge?
Cora thought about Austin's words and she didn't dare to think about it,
but she had to keep thinking about it. Everyone knew what happened
between her and Ayan in the office?
Cora's eyes glittered with a tearful sneer and her mouth murmured,
"Ayan, why are you doing this to me?"
Her face was stiff and cold, and revenge arose from her heart .
She must get back at Ayan.
She would make Ayan regret it.
He had no trace of old feelings for her, disgracing her in front of Austin
and all. He had taken advantage of her feelings for him wantonly, and
she must make Ayan regret his calculations and cold-heartedness
today.
She wanted him to know how stupid he was for choosing Camille.
Cora's eyes were filled with a strong sense of hatred and revenge, and
she was already calculating what she could do to make Ayan regret.
At the same time she also had to prevent Austin from finding her, and
she had to do everything she want before Austin found her and took
her away from Hance City.
After today's incident, she knew in her heart that it was impossible to
stay in Hance City, but it wasn't that easy to leave.
In the afternoon, Austin received a call from Mr. and Mrs. Bell.
Mr. Bell told Austin about their decision, and Austin didn't react much,
just asked lightly, âIs this your decision or Ayan's decision?"
Mr. Bell said: "This was decided by us. Because of today's incident, I
think you should be reluctant to continue to follow up this cooperation,
so it would be more appropriate to arrange other people from Norman
Group to come over, what do you think?"
"Since Mr. Bell has already thought about it, why ask me again? I will
do as you wish, but I need two days. I need to go back to Campole to
select the right person.â
"Good."
âThat's all right then!" Austin said. He cut off the call with a sour face,
his hand holding the phone clenched hard. Although Mr. and Mrs. Bell
called to tell him his withdrawal of the project, he would not believe that
this was all their idea. Ayan must be the mastermind behind this.
He grunted coldly, then opened his cell phone and dialed a string of
numbers without any ID.
The answer was quick, and he immediately spoke up and asked, "Do
you want to join this charity partnership that the Simpson Group is
working on right now?"
The person on the other side said something.
The corners of Austin's mouth outlined a calculating sneer, then he said
confidently, "Then let's meet somewhere and talk.â
On the Simpson Group side, Ayan was told by Kian that Mr. and Mrs.
Bell had called Austin before he left work, and Austin agreed to do so
without any objection, but only asked for two days to go back to
Campole.
Ayan did not respond, only slightly narrowed his eyes. Under his eyes
crossed a touch of emotion. He could not fully understand Austin's and
Cora's minds, but from their character he could also be sure that this
matter was not likely to stop here.
Although he had instructed Kian to arrange someone to protect Camille
in the first place, after one night, neither Austin nor Cora had made any
movement.
The next afternoon, Ayan had Kian drive directly to Camille's office on
his way back to Simpson Group after meeting a client.
It was now more than an hour before closing time, so he didn't plan to
go back to the office and said to Kian, "You can leave work early today,
I'll drive myself later."
"Master Simpson, I don't have to leave work early, and I don't have
anything to do anyway."
âYou can use it then, for you don't have anything to do, but I do.â
Ayan glanced at him through the rear-view mirror. The reminder had
been obvious, not until then did Kian get it and nod in agreement.
"Master Simpson, I'm leaving right now."
After saying that, he hurriedly pushed open the car door and went
down.
Ayan also got out of the back seat and stood on the curb waiting for
Camille to come out.
Camille received an invitation from Grace to go to Armstrong Corp early
this morning, because Ayan let Horace pick out the designer first before
moving on to the next phase of projects, and Horace wanted Camille to
give some professional advice and opinions, so she went to Armstrong
Corp in the morning and had a busy morning.
In the afternoon, she stayed at the office to take care of some trivial
things and played with Timmy on video for a while.
Then she planned to go to Sienna's for dinner after work, but her office
door was knocked on by Yessica just as this idea came up.
Yessica said, "Cami, guess who I saw downstairs?"
Camille was slightly stunned and asked in passing, "Who?"
"Master Simpson,â Yessica gossiped with a wink, "are you guys going
on a date?"
"He's downstairs?"
"Yeah, you didn't know?" Yessica immediately handed Camille the
photo she had just taken: "I just saw it when I came back. Seriously,
Master Simpson is handsome, even if he stands there and does
nothing, he is still a sight to see.â
Camille wasn't even listening to what Yessica was saying. Her eyes
lingered on Yessica's phone screen as Ayan stood there staring at the
door of the building. Was he waiting for her?
Camille withdrew her gaze to change the subject with Yessica, then
picked up her phone, and there were no messages or calls.
So what was the reason for Ayan to come over without any message in
advance?
Camille sent away Yessica, then she sat alone in the office. Because
she knew Ayan came, she did not wait until the end of the day to leave,
or there would only be more people to see it. Ayan quietly came here,
maybe because he also wanted to wait until the end of the day and to
be seen by others, right?
Camille came out of the company building and saw Ayan right away.
She walked directly toward him, her voice warm and light, "Why are
you here?"
Her words are very distant and bland. Ayan did not care. After all, he
was used to it. The fact that she could talk to him was already a good
thing.
Ayan's voice was gentle, and his dark eyes were staring straight at her
as he said, "I just happened to be passing by after meeting a client. "
Just passing by and waiting so long?
Camille didn't embarrass him, just nodded.
He said, "Shall I take you back?"
âNo, I'll just drive myself." She declined.
But Ayan didn't mean to stop there, his handsome face still with a
gentle light smile, and his voice was unhurried, "I'm not trying to annoy
you. It's just that after what happened yesterday, I'm not sure if they'll
take revenge on you for their anger and dissatisfaction with me. I'm just
driving you to and from work. It'll be fine when it is over, en?"
Camille did not refuse outright, and her heart could not help thinking
along with his words.
He was indeed right.
After all, in the eyes of Austin and Cora, they were now husband and
wife. Cora was able to deliberately set her up in the previous
collaboration, let alone now being set up by Ayan.
Ayan saw that Camille seemed a little wavering, and continued, "I
promise, I'll just drop you off and not bother you further, okay?"
