Chapter 1460 ScatteredChapter 1460 Scattered
Ayan's reaction was rather subdued, and his voice was very cold: "If we don't let him know, he will
continue to do things that involve Camille. Now that we've told him, he's too scared to tell anyone,
but he also dare not say anything else related to Camille, otherwise his days in there won't be
good."
"Indeed," Kian nodded.
Ayan continued, "You need to instruct the prison not to let anyone see him. If he requests to see
someone, let us know first. If any accidents happen, it's the prison's responsibility."
Kian nodded, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Simpson, are you worried that Mr. Armstrong will
contact someone for help?"
"Everyone knows about his situation. I don't think anyone is capable of getting him out unscathed,"
Ayan's tone was very cold. He wasn't worried about that. He was worried that Brody might come up
with other ideas, like using Camille's situation to cause trouble.
So, even though Brody was already inside, the vigilance couldn't wane. He had to watch him closely
at all times, and not give him any opportunity.
Kian nodded to show his understanding.
Ayan added, "Also, don't let her know about this. I don't want her to be disturbed by this."
"Alright, Mr. Simpson, I understand," Kian replied.Ayan didn't say anything else, he just squinted his eyes, his expression icy. Kian didn't know what
he was thinking, so he didn't ask further.
The Armstrong family's situation was now completely settled. The employees at Armstrong Corp
and the shareholders were relieved. At least, their interests were not affected by the Armstrong
family's situation, which was good news for them.
The whole thing had lasted for several days. Everything related to the Armstrong family had been
fully disclosed to the public.
Now, the Armstrong family was almost in ruins. Even with Camille and Grace, the Armstrong family
was no longer what it used to be.
Grace had dismissed all the household staff, probably intending to pacify them with money. She
gave them three extra months' salary and paid their social security for six months, as a token of
gratitude for their many years of service to the Armstrong family. At the same time, she hoped to
keep them quiet and prevent them from spreading rumors.
Oh, and that maid Preston had bribed had returned to her home, maintaining contact with Preston
but refraining from speaking out. She simply claimed that she got fired by the Armstrong family and
lost her value to Preston. But Preston didn't think much of it, as he had more important things to
deal with.
With Brody and Regina's situation resolved, the next issue was Page's funeral, scheduled for a
week later. A professional team would handle everything, so Grace and Camille didn't need to worry
too much.
During this period, something else happened.Of course, Crystal was also paying attention to the situation of the Armstrong family. Upon learning
about Brody and Page, Crystal immediately reported it to the Bill family. The Bill family's reaction
was quite emotional, so Crystal had no choice but to contact Ayan herself.
Ayan's warning made her respectful, as she knew he had the power to prevent her from getting
close to Camille. After contacting Ayan, they arranged to meet at Simpson Group, the safest place
where no one dared to meddle in the affairs of the president.
Crystal arrived at Simpson Group around ten in the morning, just as Ayan finished a meeting and
returned to his office.
Ayan asked her to sit, and then instructed Kian to pour her coffee. This process took about half an
hour, during which Ayan continued to work at his desk without saying a word to Crystal.
Crystal didn't want to disturb him, knowing he had a lot on his plate. So, she sat quietly on the sofa,
waiting.
After another half hour, Ayan finally finished his tasks. He got up and walked over to the sofa area,
then sat opposite Crystal on the armchair. His gaze was calmly distant, showing no surprise or
curiosity about her visit.
They locked eyes for a moment before Crystal looked away. She knew that in a mental battle, she
was no match for Ayan.
She came with a purpose and didn't want to be intimidated by Ayan's presence before even starting.
She looked elsewhere and spoke in a clear and calm voice, "Mr. Simpson, I'm here to discuss
something with you."
Ayan, with his usual courtesy, showed no change in his demeanor. This made Crystal feel uneasy.She took a deep breath and continued, "We, the Bill family, have also observed the situation with
the Armstrong family. Since they are going through such a big ordeal, it seems like the opportune
time to act. So, I wanted to ask if Mr. Simpson has any objections."
Ayan remained expressionless as he listened to Crystal. His calm demeanor made her uneasy.
Just when Crystal thought Ayan would outright refuse, he responded, "Miss Bill, do you think this is
appropriate timing for Camille?"
"Of course, this is the time she's most mourning. Isn't this the best time to provide her warmth? If
our presence can help her overcome her grief, it would be very beneficial for Camille, wouldn't it?"
Crystal's thoughts remained quite simple, and she believed it was the best opportunity.
Ayan smiled lightly, but there was a clear chill in his tone. He said, "Miss Bill, you have violated our
agreement once again. I have told you that I will notify you if the time is right. But I didn't inform you,
nor did I give you the impression that I think now is the right time. Are you intending to terminate our
agreement completely?"
With each low, icy word, Ayan's disdain was evident, making Crystal uneasy.
noveldramaShe instinctively tried to deny and explain, but Ayan didn't give her the chance.
"Miss Bill, if you think my words are irrelevant, then from now on, we won't work together. Whether
you want to immediately tell Camille everything is up to you and the Bill family. If you think you can
achieve your goals, then act as you see fit, alright?"
