Chapter 1295: Support
The assistant didn't know why Camille asked this, but Camille was Ayan's wife, Mrs. Simpson, so she
had a valid reason for asking anything.
The assistant truthfully replied, "There haven't been any actions from Preston's side yet. The people
Mr. Reid arranged are still there, so you don't need to worry, madam."novelbin
"Hmm." Camille's face remained serious, showing no signs of relaxation. However, she instructed the
assistant to keep everything about Ayan and Kian confidential if anyone inquired. It was all company
secrets.
After instructing the assistant, Camille still felt uneasy.
She was worried about what Preston would do next.
If Preston really intended to do something, what should she do?
With Ayan currently out of the country, would she be able to handle it?
Camille sat silently at her desk, deep in thought, without any movement or sound. It wasn't until Sienna
walked in and saw her lost in thought that she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"
Only then did Camille raise her eyes to look at Sienna, and their eyes met. Sienna could clearly see
what was hidden in Camille's eyes.
Sienna asked, "What's going on?"
Camille didn't hide anything because they had already agreed not to.
She truthfully informed Sienna, who became more amazed as she listened. In the end, an admiring
look appeared on her face.
Sienna raised her thumb and said, "You're amazing!"
Camille furrowed her brow. "Be serious."
"I am serious!" Sienna said lightly, still holding up her thumb. She didn't look serious at all. She said,
"Cami, you're really incredible. I'm telling the truth. You're completely overshadowing Preston. You're
playing him in the palm of your hand. You're fantastic."
Camille smiled, the smile at the corners of her mouth becoming deeper and more profound. She raised
an eyebrow and said, "So, you think I did well?"
"Of course, very well. You should have told me earlier. Maybe then I could have helped you deal with
him."
"No need. Doing it too much will backfire. It needs to seem like everything is happening naturally, so it
won't seem deliberate to anyone."
Camille had certainly put a lot of thought into this because she had spent a long time with Preston and
knew what kind of person he was.
But Preston was naturally suspicious. He might not have discovered or suspected anything yet, but it
wouldn't stay hidden for long.
However, Camille still hadn't figured out what exactly Preston intended to do, so her worries only grew.
Camille sighed. "To be honest, I'm conflicted. I want Ayan to come back quickly, but I also want him to
take his time."
"I understand how you feel. Don't worry, Ayan is so clever. He has his own ways. He will definitely take
care of Preston. I've told you before, Preston is a scheming person, and he's selfish. It seems like he's
all alone in the end. But Ayan is different. Ayan has you, Timmy, the Simpson family, Simpson Group,
and Rex, those brothers as solid as steel. They all stand behind Ayan, and they will be the first to step
forward in any situation."
Sienna's words touched Camille. She had always known how exceptional Ayan was and believed that
he would be capable of handling the situation with Preston. However, Preston operated in the shadows
while Ayan was in the light. Camille still hadn't figured out what Preston intended to do, and that
worried her.
She sighed silently. She said to Sienna, "I understand what you're saying, but my worries haven't
diminished at all. I don't know what to do. Sometimes, I even have a cruel thought that I want Preston
to leave Hance City and never come back."
Sienna gently patted Camille's shoulder and said in a soothing voice, "Don't worry, you will definitely
succeed, and all of us are on your side."
Camille nodded, looking grateful as she gazed at Sienna. Sometimes, it's friends who continuously
support and encourage, albeit indirectly.
Because of Preston's phone call, Camille couldn't concentrate on her work anymore. After talking with
Sienna, she sat alone in her office, lost in thought.
She didn't know if Preston would actually call Simpson Group to test the waters, nor did she know if
anyone from Simpson Group would accidentally reveal anything without any prior arrangement or
understanding.
However, she wasn't worried that Preston would find out about Ayan's business trip. Not many people
knew about it, and those who did wouldn't easily disclose it to Preston. Those who could readily divulge
everything wouldn't have access to such information.
Camille consoled herself in this way, but she had no idea about the actual situation.
This unease persisted until the end of the workday. Before that, Ayan had contacted Camille. Ayan had
dinner with Horace and Hannibal today. Horace cooked and had gone early in the morning with Grace
to a nearby domestic supermarket to buy groceries.
Ayan hadn't been eating well during his time here; he barely felt satisfied, and the food didn't taste
good, making him uncomfortable.
So, he instructed Horace to buy more groceries today and pack a meal for him.
Ayan shared the situation with Camille and involved her in the discussion. Camille didn't know that
Horace could cook and felt pleasantly surprised.
Ayan explained briefly, "He lived abroad and honed his culinary skills. I heard he's pretty good."
"In that case, when we return to the country, shouldn't we all have a meal together?" Camille
suggested.
"Sure, I'll tell him," Ayan replied.
Camille was particularly concerned about this matter. If Grace were to come back with Horace, it was
highly unlikely they would go directly to Hance City. In fact, Camille would recommend Grace to stay in
Flento City because it was a familiar place. She could arrange everything for Grace and introduce her
to her old friends and classmates, so she wouldn't feel lonely and bored compared to being in her
home country. New ch?pter av?ilable o? Draмаnоvеls.cоm
Having a friend by her side would be helpful in any situation.
Before Ayan had a chance to respond to Camille's questions, he happened to see Grace coming out of
the house yard, picking onions.
Upon seeing Grace, Ayan directly spoke to her, "Do you have time now? Let's have a chat with Cami."
Grace instinctively paused, a hint of surprise in her eyes. But her first question was, "Has something
happened at home?"
