Chapter 1125: Collaboration
Chapter 1125: Collaboration
After chatting with Sienna, Camille wasted no time and immediately discussed the conversation with
Ayan, hoping he could come up with a solution.
She also asked Ayan, "Would it be more certain if Sienna were to get pregnant?"
"Mario is completely paranoid about Sienna. So, even if she were truly pregnant, do you think Mario
would mind?" Ayan lightly snorted, a faint smile playing on his lips. He continued, "Such a person, only
when Sienna returns to Flento City with him, even if Sienna has a child with Rex, he would treat it as
his own without any complaints. At that point, do you think Sienna or Mario would feel worse?"
Camille nodded understandingly, realizing she had been a bit one-sided and didn't know Mario's
personality well enough.
Taking a deep breath, Camille looked at Ayan again and asked, "So, what does Rex plan to do?"
"He hasn't said, but he definitely won't let Sienna go. After all, Rex is not someone to be trifled with.
Mario wants to bully people in Hance City; he probably picked the wrong place. Even if it's the King
family, so what? It's better to both suffer." Ayan snorted, showing no concern about Mario.
Camille looked at Ayan, observing his confidence while saying these words. She was curious and
asked, "It seems like you're not very fond of Mario? Is it because of Rex? If Mario really wants to deal
with Rex, as Rex's good friend, would you lend a hand?"
"No." Ayan answered without any hesitation, not even a pause. It was an instant response that even
made Camille chuckle. She asked, "Are you really not hesitating at all? You answered so decisively?"
Looking at Ayan, Camille couldn't help but smile when he replied, "This is his personal matter,
unrelated to the interests between our companies. Why should I intervene? If he can't even protect his
own woman, I don't think he deserves to be called a man."
Camille was taken aback by Ayan's words. She blinked at him, wondering if she had misunderstood.
How could he suddenly say something like this?
Camille laughed and said, "Do you know what you're saying? Aren't you afraid I'll tell Rex?"
"It's a fact. I would say the same even in front of him."
"So, you mean you'll also protect me well?"
He smiled, a low, husky voice saying, "Naturally."
"Then we'll see about your performance." Camille smiled lightly.
It was truly unexpected for Ayan to say such things, but it wasn't that surprising. After all, their
friendship was built on such banter. If they really encountered a situation that required help, it wouldn't
be possible for him to turn a blind eye.
Thinking about this, Camille's smile deepened.
As for Rex's thoughts, Mario didn't know. What Mario knew was that Sienna's attitude and reactions
tonight made him very dissatisfied, leading to his bad mood.
He remained silent as he returned to the hotel. His secretary followed him and entered the room,
observing his cold expression. The secretary asked in a low voice, "Mr. King, how do you plan to
handle Miss King?"
Mario took off his jacket and threw it on the couch. He sat down, and his secretary immediately poured
a glass of cold water, handing it to him. He reached for the glass, drank most of it in one go, and then
spoke calmly, "She believes that Rex can protect her. Right now, she has no fear and doesn't think I
can do anything to her."
Mario squinted, a particularly intense coldness in his eyes. His secretary had been with him for many
years and naturally knew about his relationship with Sienna.
The secretary spoke softly, "Mr. King, Miss King is married to Rex. After last night's events, the entire
Hance City knows about your relationship with Miss King. Given this situation, whatever you plan to do
next will probably be hard for anyone to believe."
"Gossip doesn't have to be believed. Once rumors start, even if people don't believe them, it doesn't
matter. After all, human hearts are unpredictable, and the hardest thing for them is doubt."
Once doubt arises, continuous speculation will surely follow.
The secretary, seeing that Mario had no intention of giving up on Sienna, didn't know what to say as a
secretary.
Mario spoke again, "We need to establish good relations with the business circle in Hance City. King
Group's development in Hance City is not just for Sienna; it's also for the future development of King
Group. The upcoming design competition, Simpson Group is also participating, right? Schedule a
meeting with Ayan's secretary immediately. I want to meet Ayan at Simpson Group tomorrow morning."
"Are you planning to get sponsorship for this design competition through Ayan as well?"
"Yes."
"With Ayan's close relationship with Rex, will he agree?" The secretary asked with some concern.
Mario said, "Ayan is not just Rex's friend; he is also the president of Simpson Group. Countless people
at Simpson Group depend on him for their livelihoods. Do you think he would disregard Simpson Group
for the sake of friendship? Although Simpson Group is developing well, there are some aspects,
especially in the investment area, which happens to be King Group's strong suit. He wouldn't want to
lose such a good business partner like me."
Mario was someone willing to sacrifice anyone for the sake of the company. Therefore, he believed that
Ayan must be the same as him. After all, successful men like them couldn't easily be entangled by
emotions, whether it be love or friendship. Both were secondary, with the most crucial factor being
control over one's interests and power.
As long as you had these two, love and friendship would come easily.
Mario squinted slightly. He instructed his secretary to ensure that this matter was handled properly
because his main purpose in coming to Hance City was to collaborate with Ayan.
Only collaboration was the most stable relationship. If there was no collaboration with Ayan, once he
had any conflicts with Rex, Ayan would naturally align with Rex due to their relationship, forcing him to
deal with Ayan as well.
Turning an enemy's friend into your own was foolproof.
Mario's secretary quickly contacted Kian. However, Kian was currently not in Hance City, so the
invitation could only be delicately relayed to Ayan by Kian. The decision from Ayan would have to waitnovelbin
until he recovered to give Mario's secretary an answer.
Mario's secretary thanked Kian after ending the call and then truthfully informed Mario of Kian's
response.
Mario's secretary said, "Mr. King, does Ayan's secretary imply that he doesn't want to cooperate with
us?"
"He said he needs to consult Ayan, right? Let's wait for Ayan's response."
Mario showed no concern about this matter.
On Kian's side, he quickly contacted Ayan. Even though it was late, he didn't dare to delay.
Receiving Kian's call and learning about Mario's plan, Ayan fell into a brief silence. His eyes
instinctively glanced at Camille, who was watching a movie beside him. In a low voice, he asked, "Did
his secretary really say that?"
"Yeah, Mario's secretary mentioned that he wants to discuss sponsorship for the design competition
with you. He probably aims to secure sponsorship through your involvement, especially since the
competition is being held in Hance City. If he doesn't get your approval, he won't have a chance with
the organizers. So, Mr. Simpson, do you agree to meet with him?" Kian explained in a hushed tone.
Ayan remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "I'll give you a message in ten minutes."
At this point, he needed to consult Camille. Even though it was a matter related to the company, due to
Sienna's connection, Ayan wanted to make things clear with Camille. If Camille didn't understand, it
might affect their relationship. After ending the call, Ayan paused the movie.
