Chapter 1165: Amusing
He could only nod slightly and say, "Okay."
Camille also nodded and then stood up. "Well then, goodbye. We can plan to meet another time."
Preston agreed, then watched as Camille left the coffee shop.
He was well aware that Camille's arrangement with Sienna was just a pretense. Had she and Sienna
prearranged the meeting time?
With a serious expression, he seemed particularly displeased. His mood was low, and his emotions
between his brows were notably unpleasant.
His dissatisfaction stemmed from the fact that Camille didn't respond positively to his suggestions
earlier. He had been explicit, so why didn't Camille understand?
Was she intentionally pretending not to understand?
A series of questions lingered in Preston's mind, making him increasingly agitated and angry.
What infuriated him even more was that Camille had become so assertive, suspecting him of
orchestrating the online incident and pressuring him to investigate it.
Such actions were entirely unlike Camille's usual behavior. Was there someone guiding her in the
background?
Sitting in silence for a long time, Preston's face turned cold. Clenching his fists tightly, he muttered,
"Ayan, this is all your idea, right? You use a woman to deal with me. You're truly cunning!"
He completely believed that Ayan was behind this, guiding Camille to act this way and say these things
to him.
Camille, oblivious to Preston's suspicions, swiftly left the coffee shop and got into Sienna's car. Sienna
had carefully planned their appearance, parking by the roadside near the entrance to avoid suspicion.
After Camille got into the car, Sienna, holding the steering wheel with one hand, gave Camille a
thumbs-up. She said, "I could imagine the scene just now even through the phone. It was awesome.
You're my goddess!"
Camille sighed heavily and replied, "I'm really helpless."
Sienna asked, "Helpless about what?"
"The things I said were impromptu. Maybe I shouldn't have said them at all?" After all, she forced
Preston too hard. If she pushed him too far, what if he acted recklessly? Camille hadn't thought of this
at the time but only realized it belatedly.
However, Sienna disagreed. She said softly, "Of course not. Why shouldn't you? On the contrary, I think
you should have said those things a long time ago. Think about it-Preston has been like this repeatedly.
Honestly, even I would wonder if there's something wrong with this person. But you've been
considerate due to years of friendship. How did he interpret this consideration? As a license for
unrestrained recklessness! So what you're doing now is just giving him a tiny bit of education, that's
all!"
"Really? Are you sure you're not saying this because you're my friend?"
"Of course not. I've always been fair."
"Thank you for your honesty. I feel relieved hearing you say that."
"So, you must not have any thoughts, because everything you do is right, it's all correct. But Preston, I
didn't expect him to shamelessly ask for shares. Isn't it laughable? How audacious can he be to covet
your shares? Does he think you're as naive as Chu Qiao?"
Sienna spoke with extra anger and disdain when mentioning Preston. Her eyes were full of contempt
and anger. If she weren't driving at the moment, she might have found something to vent her frustration
with a hearty punch.
Watching Sienna's anger, Camille, though there was a faint smile on her lips, had a meaningful look in
her eyes.
In fact, she hadn't anticipated that Preston would bring up the matter of shares. When she heard it, she
was utterly bewildered.
Was he truly at a dead end?
Why would he think of her shares?
Even though those shares didn't have much impact, it was impossible to say they had no effect at all.
Could Preston really see value in that tiny amount?
Was it genuinely so tough for her at Armstrong Corp?
Many questions overflowed in Camille's mind, and she needed to clarify them as soon as possible.
Camille spoke to Sienna, "I think Preston is probably angry about what I said today. But I'm curious
about what he'll do. How will he prove to me that he's not involved in this matter?"
"So, in your eyes, he's already convicted?"
"Not convicted." Camille looked at Sienna with a serious expression, saying each word clearly, "It's a
fact."
Sienna nodded. She said, "You one hundred percent trust Ayan."
"Of course, I believe him."
"Well, trust is essential between spouses." Sienna treated Rex the same way because mutual trust was
crucial for a married couple.
As it was already late, they didn't return to the company but went straight to Franklin Bay.
Sienna mentioned that she had recently learned to cook a new dish with the help of her family's
housekeeper. She wanted to cook it for Camille.
Initially, Camille declined, saying, "Why not cook it for Rex first? I think he might want to eat it more,
huh?"
Sienna was not happy with Camille's response. Her displeasure was genuine. She said, "Why don't
you want to eat? Do you not love me anymore? Camille, you're hurting my feelings. Do you know that
your actions are deliberately ruining my good mood? I finally made up my mind to cook, but you saynovelbin
you don't want to eat. From now on, I might not have the mood to cook anymore. So, figure it out
yourself!"
Sienna sighed with a sentence and an expression that seemed genuinely heartbroken. How could
Camille refuse after seeing her like this?
Camille rubbed her forehead, looking helpless as she said, "So, you want me to be your guinea pig,
right? Okay, I can't say anything more. If you want to kill me with your cooking, go ahead."
Sienna was satisfied with this response, and she immediately took Camille to her and Rex's residence.
Then Sienna began to showcase her culinary skills. She wore a custom-made cute apron, clearly well-
prepared, leaving no room for refusal.
Sienna said to Camille, "Just wait a moment. Get ready to be impressed by my cooking skills."
Camille looked at her with a sense of resignation, not knowing what to say. After Sienna went to the
kitchen, Camille asked the housekeeper in a low voice, "Can she really cook?"
The housekeeper smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, she should be able to. She has pestered the
master to taste it several times. If he can't finish it, she won't even let him put down his chopsticks!"
Camille paused, a smile unconsciously appearing at the corner of her mouth. It seemed Sienna had
already tested her cooking skills on Rex.
The more Camille thought about it, the more amusing it became. She returned to the living room and
sat down, waiting for Sienna to bring the food.
As time ticked away, Sienna spent nearly an hour on the dish. Finally, she came out holding a plate of
spicy and sour lotus root slices with stir-fried beef.
Even from a distance, Camille could smell the fragrance of the dish and the spicy and sour taste of the
lotus root. It was quite enticing.
Sienna, with a smile on her face, was quite satisfied with her culinary creation.
Approaching Camille, she placed the dish on the coffee table and handed a pair of chopsticks to
Camille, saying, "Hurry, taste it. The flavor is quite impressive."
"Have you tried it?" Camille asked, her face filled with anticipation. She couldn't let Camille take the first
bite; that risk seemed a bit too significant, right?
