Chapter 1423: OutrageChapter 1423: Outrage
Brody had resigned from Armstrong Corp a month ago. He chose not to change the company's
name to leave a sense of nostalgia for the employees. However, now Brody had no involvement in
Armstrong Corp's affairs. Armstrong Corp regretted the situation and expressed their willingness to
move forward with the Armstrong family, regardless of the outcome.
This statement clarified Brody's relationship with the company. To make it believable, they even
released a fake declaration of equity transfer and Brody's resignation from Armstrong Corp,
complete with his forged signature. Ayan personally arranged all of this, ensuring that no one would
discover any loopholes.
After this act, people started linking the truth of the matter with Brody. It was significant because the
person making the video statement was Page's brother, adding authenticity to the situation.
Naturally, people instinctively directed their accusations towards Brody.
Netizens were like Sherlock Holmes, and thanks to the internet's memory, someone quickly
uncovered that Page and Brody's relationship was not as affectionate as it appeared or as people
had imagined. On the contrary, there were many contradictions, which provided new clues to the
case.
Due to the discoveries directly pointing towards Brody and the subsequent discussions among
netizens, the topic quickly gained momentum.
Major platforms carried headlines like, "Former Chairman of Armstrong Corp suspected of having
conflicts with deceased wife long ago but intentionally concealed it from the public. Was this
behavior intentional?"Many began to suspect that Brody's actions were driven by money and his connection to the
Armstrong family.
Then, people incessantly mentioned Camille and Grace, trying to persuade them to speak up and
provide some explanation.
Naturally, such behavior wouldn't receive any response. After all, Camille and Grace would never
intentionally offer an explanation or respond to netizens.
However, they were not unrelated. The Armstrong family's servants soon came forward to address
the situation.
The servants, who had worked for the Armstrong family for many years, stated that Page and
Brody's relationship had long been strained. However, they maintained a facade to stabilize
Armstrong Corp's smooth operation.
The servants also revealed that Brody and Page had always been distant towards their younger
daughter, Camille. Before their marriage, Camille was raised by her non-biological grandmother.
Even after getting married, the Armstrong family only thought of Camille when they needed her for
something. As for their elder daughter, she had moved out long ago due to their overbearing and
selfish behavior, severing all contact with the family. She only returned after this incident occurred.
To any child, such parents were unfitting.
Thus, when this news broke, many believed that Page and Brody were unworthy of being parents.
They brought their children into this world but failed to care for and educate them properly, treating
them as mere puppets according to their own desires.
noveldramaHowever, some wondered if the servants had been bribed.This led netizens to conduct further investigations, ultimately discovering that the clarifying servant
had already left the job two months ago. She had limited knowledge about the Armstrong family's
recent affairs, only gaining some information from former colleagues and the exposed incidents
online. The reason she spoke up was that Grace had helped her while she was still working for the
Armstrong family. This time, she chose to step forward voluntarily and clarify things.
In just one morning, this incident had caused a stir in Hance City.
Preston, who had been hiding and evading, also learned about this matter. He couldn't help but
burst into laughter. He stood on the main road, his emotions completely out of control, but his face
wore a wide smile, as if he was exceptionally happy.
Such a Preston made the passersby wonder if he had gone mad.
Preston paid no mind to the looks from others. Instead, he suddenly seemed to be filled with energy,
looking up at the sky and muttering to himself, "Indeed, the heavens have not forsaken me. Fate
must be on my side."
Preston had been going through a rough time lately. He had nowhere to live and no way to access
his money to sustain himself. Although he had tried various channels to unfreeze the temporarily
blocked card, Molly was unwilling to let go, leaving him completely helpless.
In addition, the police had been pursuing him, so he didn't even dare to stay in a hotel. Most of the
time, he ended up in small, dirty, and chaotic lodgings with poor living conditions. The environment
there was unpleasant, and he couldn't even get a decent shower due to the strong smell of rust in
the water.
That's why he felt so overjoyed upon seeing this news. He was brimming with vitality, and now his
immediate task was to quickly contact Elijah and get him to cooperate in a significant endeavor.Filled with joy, he rushed towards the public telephone at the convenience store across the street.
Elijah had previously left him a phone number, but he hadn't had a chance to contact him recently.
Now, he had an opportunity, and it was a great one that he didn't want to miss.
However, Preston was unaware that every move he made was under Ayan's watchful gaze. He was
like an emperor wearing new clothes, without any secrets.
Preston's actions naturally prompted Kian to inform Ayan immediately. However, Ayan didn't have
the spare time to deal with Preston's matters at the moment. He simply said to Kian, "Keep an eye
on him. As for Elijah, Sean will update us on his activities. If he truly intends to do something earth-
shattering, there's no need to spare him any face. His current situation may not be miserable
enough, but once Molly leaves the country for a while, he'll get a taste of being whipped again."
Ayan was well aware of Molly's situation. Molly was currently in confinement, and she would likely
return after a brief period of time. The Walker family's business was now entrusted to a professional
team. In fact, it wasn't a bad arrangement, as it ensured a comfortable life for Molly and her child.
However, after experiencing Preston's actions, Molly had grown. She would probably come back to
Flento City and personally take over the Walker family's company.
The Molly of the past may have been a little kitten, but after going through so much, the current
Molly must have matured. This growth came at the cost of the Walker family's resources and her
personal youth, so she had certainly learned valuable lessons.
Therefore, she wouldn't let Preston off the hook. As long as Preston didn't do anything outrageously
infuriating for the time being, she could handle him herself.
Ayan didn't want to pay too much attention to matters related to Preston. He was more focused on
the present situation, so he asked Kian, "How are things with the Armstrong family?""The media has already started targeting Mr. Armstrong, and now everyone is calling for a response
from him."
"And what about Armstrong Corp?" Ayan asked calmly.
