Chapter 1093: Shattered Dreams
Camille neither denied nor confirmed, her expression becoming more tense.
In a low, hoarse voice, Ayan gently said, "Tomorrow, have Sienna or Kian accompany you to visit the
Armstrong family. Remind them that you have no connection with Preston. Tell them that if anything
happens, it's not your concern. Remember to record it, consider it a talisman for yourself. After all, the
Armstrong family has no shame."
As Ayan mentioned the Armstrong family, his expression turned icy. He seriously doubted that without
the old Armstrong, Armstrong Corp would have collapsed long ago. His disdain and hatred for Brody
and Page's actions were evident, especially their focus solely on self-interest. How could he not
despise such people?
Although his words about the Armstrong family weren't flattering, Camille understood that it was
because of her. The Armstrong family had been cold and indifferent to her, to put it mildly. More
accurately, it was heartless and lacked any familial warmth.
Camille pursed her lips slightly, saying to Ayan, "When I remind the Armstrong family, they'll probably
brush it off as jealousy. They might even think I'm trying to rain on their parade."
"Let them think what they want. As long as you remind them and they respond, whatever happens
afterward has nothing to do with you. I'm just concerned that if you don't remind them, they might have
other thoughts." After all, the Armstrong family was skilled at shifting blame, and Ayan didn't want
anything unfavorable to happen to Camille.
Under Ayan's guidance, Camille reluctantly agreed, planning to bring Sienna along the next morning.
However, for safety, Ayan arranged for a driver to take them, ensuring they had someone looking out
for them.
Camille nodded in agreement.
After Ayan finished his shower, they both went to bed. Camille nestled gently in his embrace, but her
mind was still occupied with the day's events. She asked Ayan, "Preston won't really succeed, will he?"
She was referring to whether Preston would manage to push Horace out of Armstrong Corp.
Ayan assured Camille, "Don't think too much about it. Horace's abilities far surpass our estimates.
Besides, when he invested in Armstrong Corp, he signed an agreement with them. The terms of that
agreement are probably indecipherable to the Armstrong family. If they showed it to Preston, I doubt
he'd be willing to cooperate with them."
Ayan's lips curled slightly, his eyes narrowing. The depth of his gaze became colder. Camille's worries
gradually dissipated after hearing his explanation.
He was willing to entrust Armstrong Corp to Horace, not just because of business reasons but also
because of the relationship between Horace and Grace, which Camille could trust. As for Preston,
despite their long acquaintance, recent events had introduced an indescribable element of doubt into
Camille's mind.
The matter Ayan spoke of haunted Camille's dreams that night, centering around Preston's
involvement with Armstrong Corp. Consequently, the next morning, the first thing Camille did upon
waking was to make arrangements to meet Sienna.
She messaged Sienna, who hadn't replied yet. Camille quickly went to freshen up and change clothes.
Ayan returned from outside, calling her downstairs for breakfast.novelbin
Seeing her already prepared, he asked in surprise, "Why are you up so early?"
"I'm going to the Armstrong family in a while," Camille replied calmly.
"Going directly after breakfast?"
"Yes, the sooner I resolve it, the sooner I'll feel at ease."
"All right then, let's go downstairs and eat now," Ayan suggested in a low voice.
Camille nodded, following Ayan downstairs for breakfast.
After breakfast, Ayan left for the office, and Camille, accompanied by Sienna, drove to the Armstrongs'
villa.
The reason Camille decided to head to the Armstrong family so early was undoubtedly due to last
night's dream. She genuinely worried that if something happened, the Armstrong family would find a
way to blame her.
Having experienced so much, Camille knew she needed to be cautious. This way, if any unexpected
incidents occurred, she wouldn't be unfairly accused by the Armstrong family.
She understood that even if she informed the Armstrong family in advance, they might still blame her if
something went wrong. However, she could present the recording as evidence, leaving the Armstrong
family with no room to argue. Dealing with the Armstrong family, she had learned to protect herself by
leaving behind evidence because, in the hearts of Brody and Page, there was only room for
themselves.
On the way, Camille's mood became somewhat heavy. Sienna noticed and couldn't help but smile,
saying, "Why do you look like you're about to face a firing squad? Don't worry; I'm full of energy today. I
won't let them bully you. Relax!"
This was beyond doubt, and Camille trusted Sienna completely.
She slightly pursed her lips, looking at Sienna, and said, "Okay, thank you. But I'm not worried; I'm just
thinking about how to broach the subject later."
Sienna said, "Of course, just be straightforward. No need for any twists and turns. They'll probably
understand if you speak directly."
"I doubt they'll understand even if I say it."
"Well, you said it. If they pretend not to understand, let them. Who wouldn't use old age as an excuse?"
Camille nodded in agreement. The words might be straightforward, but the logic was sound.
They arrived at the Armstrong villa soon after. Camille had been visiting frequently lately. Since
marrying Ayan, she rarely came back unless there was something significant. Even if she did, she
wouldn't see Brody and Page, and even if she did, it would be a cold reception without any warmth.
Over time, Camille wasn't too keen on coming back.
Recently, her visits increased compared to the first year of marriage.
Camille and Sienna entered the Armstrong villa together. The staff, seeing Camille return, were
somewhat surprised. After all, it was early, and Camille rarely came back so early. The staff
unconsciously informed Preston. Camille walked into the villa's living room just as Brody finished
breakfast, preparing to leave.
Seeing Camille return, his expression swept lightly over her, and he asked, "Why are you here?"
He asked how she arrived, not how she returned. A slight difference but with a world of distinction.
Camille narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression passing over Brody's face with indifference. She
silently told herself not to be concerned about his attitude. Her voice sounded calmly, "I heard you let
Preston enter Armstrong Corp, is that true?"
Brody frowned slightly, his expression excessively cold. He stared at Camille with a displeased look,
feeling quite unhappy because he perceived Camille's tone as an interrogation, making him even more
displeased.
"This is Armstrong Corp's business. There's no need for you to intervene or inquire," he stated.
