Chapter 1094: Coincidence
Camille held her breath, quietly taking a deep breath, trying not to dwell on any of his inquiries. She
said, "I'm not trying to intervene or question your decisions. I just want to know why you're doing this.
Aren't you aware of the many things that happened between Preston and Ayan? Aren't you afraid of
offending Ayan and the Simpson family by doing this?"
She attempted to make Brody regret his actions by appealing to his most cherished interests.
However, Brody responded, "Why should I be afraid of offending Ayan and the Simpson family? Do you
think using the Simpson family and Ayan to pressure me is effective? Do you see the Simpson family
as superior to the Armstrong family in your eyes?"
Camille didn't expect her words to lead to a misunderstanding, but she had no intention of offering any
explanations. She simply pressed her lips together, looking at Brody with a calm expression. She said,
"Think whatever you want. If you believe that, then so be it. Regardless of any cooperation between
you and Preston, I want to make it clear that we don't have the same kind of partnership as before.
We're just regular friends now. So, if you're cooperating with him because you think we're friends and it
puts you at ease, I suggest you dispel that notion. If anything happens, I won't take any responsibility,
and I won't be involved. I'm making this clear now so that you won't blame me when things go south."
Camille spoke a lot, but her words only fueled Brody's dissatisfaction. He coldly questioned, "Do you
think I would wrongly accuse you if something happens? Camille, how can your thoughts be so
narrow? What do you take the Armstrong family for? Do you think we're just a burden to you? How can
you have such a mean-spirited idea?"
Camille smiled lightly. She calmly said, "If that's what you want to believe, go ahead. Anyway, no matter
what I say, you won't believe it, and you won't listen. I came here today just to tell you my thoughts, to
express myself. In short, no matter how you interpret it, I won't be responsible for any issues that arise
from your cooperation with Preston. It has nothing to do with me. Can you agree to that?"
Brody remained silent, gazing at Camille with indifference. This response made Camille uncomfortable.
She pressed, "Can you?"
Brody still didn't answer, prompting even Sienna to chuckle. Sienna remarked, "Mr. Armstrong, you
really know how to dodge the issue. Camille's words are clear enough. Why won't you just answer? Are
you afraid that if something really happens, no one will take the blame for you?"
Sienna's gaze made Brody's eyes instantly turn cold. Brody repeated, "This is a matter concerning the
Armstrong family. It's none of your business, just a friend."
Sienna wasn't afraid of Brody at all. She snorted and said indifferently, "I don't want to know anything
about your Armstrong family affairs, let alone get involved. But what can I do? Your Armstrong family
always bullies my friend while she sleeps. What kind of behavior is this? You're just exploiting Cami.
You refuse to take responsibility when there's a problem, and you won't share benefits. Such things arenovelbin
unbelievable. It's ridiculous."
Brody was furious; his breathing became heavier. He criticized, "Look at what kind of friends you've
made. Look at what kind of friends they are. Do you still plan to continue associating with them,
Camille? Are you just going to watch your friends treat your father like this without doing anything?"
Camille looked at Brody expressionlessly, her eyes showing no emotion. Because whether it was Brody
or Page, their words were always the same. Camille was well aware that their focus was on their own
interests. If Camille was of no use to them, they would treat her as expendable. If Camille were ever
sold off, they probably wouldn't care.
But once they thought Camille had value, they wouldn't need Camille to approach them; they would
come to her.
Just like now.
This differential treatment wasn't the first time, and Camille knew it well.
She pressed her lips together, squinting slightly, a hint of coldness in her eyes. Her voice was icy as
she said, "The kind of friends I have is not for anyone to judge. As long as I find them good, they are
good. I don't need anyone's opinion. So, there's no need to speak so harshly and critically."
"You..."
Brody glared at Camille.
But Camille didn't give him any chance. She spoke again, her tone frosty, "The purpose of my visit
today is to tell you that whatever cooperation you have with Preston has nothing to do with me. I'm only
friends with Preston; we have no other relationship. So, don't use the pretext of being nice to me to do
things I'm completely unaware of. If you really do that, I won't acknowledge it. Furthermore, you better
know when to cut your losses and not become the second Walker family."
Camille finished speaking, not bothering to look at Brody any longer, and she moved her gaze away.
She said to Sienna, "Let's go!"
Sienna nodded lightly, and the two of them intended to leave.
However, just as they turned around, before they could take a step, a man's voice rang out slowly from
ahead, "Cami, do you really see me as unworthy and untrustworthy?"
Hearing the voice, Camille immediately looked up. Their eyes met, and she looked at the man with a
faint gaze, a hint of surprise and shock passing through her eyes.
This was too much of a coincidence, wasn't it?
She had just arrived not long ago, and it was still early in the morning. How could Preston be here?
Did Brody tell him?
But Brody hadn't checked his phone since she arrived, so it seemed unlikely. Was it just a coincidence?
Camille frowned, her eyes showing a sense of confusion. After all, if Preston overheard what she just
said, it might seem like she was talking badly about him.
However, Camille thought for a moment. What she said didn't seem false; it seemed to be things that
had actually happened. So, why should she feel guilty?
As Camille hesitated, Preston's voice rang out again. He said, "Cami, why won't you respond to me?"
Camille looked at him, her voice lacking warmth as she said, "It's not that I won't respond to you. I'm
just thinking. I don't see any problem with what I said. Of course, I don't think poorly of you. I'm just
reminding the Armstrong family to think carefully before making any decisions. This way, they won't
regret it when unexpected things happen."
"Would you regret cooperating with me? Cami, have I done something to hurt you?"
Preston's questioning didn't receive a response from Camille. Her silence made Preston smile bitterly.
Preston said, "Cami, so in your eyes, I'm that unworthy, huh?"
Camille remained silent, just looking at him.
Sienna, standing beside them, said with exasperation, "Do you really care so much about how she
sees you?"
"Of course!" Preston responded without hesitation.
Sienna said, "If you care so much, why do things that people find annoying? If you care, then why not
avoid doing things people dislike?"
Preston looked at Camille and asked, "Cami, have I done something you dislike? Can you tell me?"
Camille sighed silently. Honestly, she was already starting to feel emotionally drained even so early in
the morning.
