Chapter 965 Deception

Chapter 965 Deception

Camille looked at him with indifference, her gaze turning cold. She was

asking herself the same question.

Could she blame Ayan?

No, she couldn't.

She was clear that she couldn't blame him.

Because this matter didn't fit the description of blame, and it couldn't be

summed up with a simple blame or not blame.

What concerned her was the deception, and the fact that such a huge

scheme had been concealed from her. It was an elaborate deception.

She said, "The reason you didn't want Cora to be out of your sight and

control is that you were afraid she would tell Preston about this, right?"

Ayan's expression grew solemn, but he didn't deny it. "Yes, that was my

intention.”

“But what you don't know is that Cora contacted me on her own. In fact,

she called me a few days ago. Although she didn't tell me what it was

about, I could guess that it had something to do with us."

Camille had asked Ayan more than once if he was keeping something

from her. Ayan's answers had always been vague and unsatisfactory.

She felt confused and was not willing to give up on this matter.

Without waiting for Ayan to respond, she continued, “I need some time

alone.”

"Okay, I'll move out. I can stay at the Simpson's mansion or Maple

Leaves Mansion nearby. You can stay here with Timmy. Please don't

move out, alright?" His tone carried a hint of command, but it was

mostly a plea.

Ayan was afraid that Camille would refuse, so he spoke before she

could reject his proposal. “I don't mean anything else, and I'm not

making decisions on my own. Timmy has gotten used to living here,

and everything is more convenient. If you don't stay here, would you

really leave Timmy behind? Or would you want to take Timmy to live in

an apartment or hotel in Maple Leaves Mansion? That would be too

troublesome.”

He finished speaking and stood up, looking down at the woman sitting

on the sofa. “I'm leaving now, not to test you or frame you."

Ayan actually left, not waiting for Camille's response. He left behind the

suitcase he had brought with him at the entrance but didn't take it with

him.

The sound of a car starting outside gradually brought Camille back to

her senses. She stared out of the window with an expression that was

a mix of warmth and coldness and asked herself, "Is this going too far?"

But there was no hesitation, and she received her answer almost

instantly.

She wasn't going too far.

She hadn't driven Ayan away, and she hadn't thought about moving out

herself. She simply wanted both of them to cool down. After all, the

matter had reached her bottom line, and she couldn't pretend it was

insignificant.

She pressed her lips tightly, feeling uneasy.

She was conflicted and confused, unsure of what to do.

Camille sat like that for a long time until the doorbell rang, bringing her

back to reality.

She got up and opened the door. Sienna, dressed in casual home

attire, stood at the entrance. She stared at Camille cautiously, her lips

slightly pursed, and asked in a soft voice, "Did you have a fight with

Ayan?"

Camille asked, "Did he go to your place?"

"We just met. He called Rex out for a drink. They talked for a while, and

he invited Rex. A hundred percent, you guys had a fight."

"We didn't fight." Camille didn't consider it a fight; it was more like a

questioning.

If it had been a real fight, they wouldn't be so calm now.

Camille invited Sienna inside, and they sat on the couch. The spacious

room fell silent. Sienna’s eyes remained fixed on Camille, and she

hesitated, as if struggling to find the right words.

After countless moments passed, Camille finally noticed Sienna’s

unease and said, “If you have something to ask, just say it. Don't hold

back."

Sienna didn't immediately speak but shifted her position, moving closer

to Camille's side. She leaned against Camille's shoulder and asked in a

voice that sounded like a child admitting a mistake, "Cami, what exactly

did you fight with Mr. Simpson about?"

"We didn't fight.”

"Okay, not a fight. But what happened between you two?" She

continued to ask.

Camille didn't respond. Instead, she asked a question of her own,

"Sienna, if Rex had deceived you for a long time, even going to great

lengths to prevent the deception from being exposed, would you forgive

him?"

Sienna was taken aback, completely stiffening and unable to move.

Camille noticed her unusual reaction and asked, "Why are you reacting

so strongly?"

Sienna replied in a low voice, "I don't know if I would forgive him.

Because until something actually happens, we never know how the

person involved feels and what their situation is like."

"Yes, you're right."

"Cami, I need to confess something to you.”

"What is it?"

"The matter between you and Ayan." Sienna found it difficult to speak.

She had initially cooperated with Ayan, thinking it was for Camille's

good. However, Camille's words had made her realize that it was

essential for the person involved to accept it.

After hearing Sienna's words, Camille's brows furrowed instantly. She

turned her gaze towards Sienna, her voice filled with questioning. "So,

don't tell me you've known all along that I never actually divorced him?"

Sienna, on the verge of tears, explained, "I... I did know, but not for very

long. I found out when you and Ayan came to see me in Flento."

Sienna went on to describe how she had been threatened by Mario and

Ayan then confessed to her about Camille's marital situation. She said,

“I know these are all excuses, and I'm not trying to absolve myself

using this explanation.”

"If that's the case, why say all of this?" Camille's expression remained

cold. She ignored Sienna's tearful face, her eyes sharp as she

continued, "You can leave now. I don't want to see you right now."

"Cami, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kept it from you. I didn't think too

much at the time. I just thought it was your marriage with Mr. Simpson,

and you both needed to work it out on your own. I didn't consider that it

would be seen as deception by you. I'm really sorry!"

Camille remained silent. She hadn't expected Sienna to know as well.

After thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had mentioned

about her remarriage on multiple occasions, saying Ayan hadn't been

taking any action. She knew Sienna wouldn't mock her, but her own

pride prevented her from pretending as if nothing had happened.

The atmosphere remained quiet, and Sienna dared not speak further.

She sat silently, not making any movements.

Since they had known each other, there had been little disagreement

between them. A moment like this was the first time.

After a while, Sienna couldn't bear it any longer. She reached out and

gently tugged on Camille's sleeve, speaking softly, "Cami, don't ignore

me. Please don't be angry. I know I made a mistake. I won't do it again,

I promise. Please don't be silent, okay?"
