Chapter 1297: Relief
"Well, I didn't say anything, and actually, I was also hesitant about whether or not to tell you? But I
wanted to tell you because... I just don't know how to express my thoughts. Anyway, I don't want to
keep it from you," Grace said.
Camille knew that Grace wasn't good with words, so her incoherent speech made Camille smile a little.
Camille replied, "Well, I know, so you don't have to worry. I already know about this matter. Don't fret,
I'm not concerned about it. I believe he can handle it."
They chatted a bit more about other things before ending the call.
After hanging up, Camille didn't display the same ease as Grace. Her expression became serious, and
her eyes showed growing concern and unease.
She had heard of Mr. Tillery because of her involvement in other industries. She was aware of his
reputation and knew that his company held significant influence. However, she also knew that he was
involved in shady dealings and would participate in anything profitable, regardless of its legality.
Camille worried about Ayan. She feared that he might be manipulated by Mr. Tillery. Even though she
knew Ayan was intelligent and level-headed, he was currently in a foreign country, which was Mr.
Tillery's territory. Would he be able to safely extricate himself?
Camille's concerns deepened as she had just contacted Ayan, who mentioned having dinner with
Horace at this time. She didn't want to disturb him further by sending more messages.
Camille was also preparing to finish work. The design competition was about to begin, and although
Camille wasn't directly involved, she felt anxious and nervous.
On the way home, she drove with Sienna.
She asked Sienna, "Are you nervous?"
Shaking her head, Sienna replied, "Not really. I only get a little nervous when I'm at the venue on the
day."
Camille looked at Sienna's pursed lips and snorted, "If you're not nervous, then why do you look like
that? If you were even a little composed right now, I might believe you. But the way you're speaking
doesn't convince anyone!"
Camille smiled faintly, and Sienna stuck out her tongue before saying, "Don't ask me. Seriously, if you
ask me now, I wouldn't even know how to drive the car. Why can't they just finish these competitions in
one go? Wouldn't it be better to prepare everything at once instead of waiting for a month? We don't
even know the results, and then we're left to do as we please!"
Sienna was genuinely nervous, tremendously so. To ease her tension, she planned to stay at Camille's
place tonight. Since Ayan wasn't there, she could do whatever she wanted at Camille's house. As for
Rex, well, let him stay alone. He couldn't be of much help anyway. Seeing Sienna's unease, he would
probably suggest using money to buy the victory outright and let her sit on the champion's throne.
Although Sienna knew he was joking, she genuinely worried that he would feel sorry for her choice.novelbin
She didn't want any victories that came with strings attached. She wanted to achieve everything she
desired through her own abilities.
Sienna didn't tell Camille about her plan to stay at her place. Instead, she drove directly into Camille's
garage, got out of the car, and said, "I want to stay here tonight. I don't feel like going back. Let's have
a barbecue and enjoy a drink together, how about that?"
With that, she walked into the house without looking back, holding the car keys. Camille was genuinely
shocked by her actions. Could it be that this person considered Camille's house as her own?
Although Camille appeared slightly disgusted on the surface, it was only superficial. In reality, she was
very happy because having someone accompany her was much better than being alone at home,
which would be incredibly boring.
Camille entered the house with Sienna. Sienna was already lounging on the couch, ordering takeout.
Ayan wasn't home, so she was quite relaxed, kicking off her slippers and sitting cross-legged on the
couch without a care in the world.
Before Camille could even approach, Sienna asked, "Should we get crayfish or scallops?"
Camille looked at her, not really having an appetite due to her preoccupied mind. She hesitated for a
moment, unsure how to answer.
But Sienna didn't give her much time to think. She immediately made the decision for her and said,
"Never mind, let's get both. After all, big sis is treating us, and I've got money. Rex transferred some to
me, so eat as much as you want. I can afford it."
As Sienna placed the order, she also added some bubble tea. As for alcohol, they had some at home,
so there was no need to buy more.
After placing the order, Sienna finally looked up and saw Camille standing not far away. Camille was
also staring at her, and their gazes met. Sienna asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Come sit,
is my dominant aura making you feel pressured? If that's the case, I can tone it down a bit. After all,
this is your home, and if I make you uncomfortable here, I would feel guilty. I'm really worried that Mr.
Simpson might retaliate."
Sienna's words sounded pleasant, but she had no intention of changing anything. Her eyes blinked at
Camille, and she chuckled, saying, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Camille sighed silently and spoke softly, "I'm wondering why you're acting so differently today. Do you
really want to eat and sleep at my place, or do you want to accompany me because you think I can't
handle the stress of what happened today?"
"You're overthinking it, I don't think like that."
"But the way you expressed yourself makes it seem that way, so it's really hard for me not to think too
much about it!"
Camille didn't respond verbally but accepted her proposal by remaining silent.
Camille pursed her lips slightly, her expression somewhat subdued. The two of them sat in silence for a
long time until the delivery person called.
Sienna went with Nanny to pick up the food. She had ordered a lot and prepared a portion for Nanny
and the other people in the house. Nanny and the chef would usually stay there, but they didn't usually
eat together with Camille and Ayan. However, when Ayan wasn't home, Camille found it boring to eat
alone and preferred to have everyone eat together. It was more convenient and lively that way. New

Sienna put the bubble tea aside and said, "Let's drink alcohol first, and we'll have the bubble tea later
to sober up."
It had been a very long time since they had been so carefree, disregarding their appearance and any
discomfort that might come from indulging in a hearty meal.
To commemorate the occasion, Sienna took a picture and posted it as a social media update.
