Chapter 1425 Torment
The uncles remained silent, unable to deny or admit anything.
Kian spoke again, "For now, this matter will be left as it is. The best thing for you is to go into hidingfor a while, wait for the heat to die down, and then come back. As for your desire to have a share ofthe Armstrong family's benefits, let's discuss it later!"
Kian managed to dismiss them, but considering the current situation, they didn't dare to actrecklessly, though they were deeply dissatisfied.
The two families decided to go on a trip for some time. Once they left Hance City, no one wouldrecognize them. After all, most of the news attention came from the locals of Hance City. LeavingHance City would provide temporary relief from such pressure.
They immediately packed their things and prepared to leave. It was at this moment that an unknownphone number called Uncle's phone.
On the call, the person said, "You have been manipulated by someone. Do you want to cooperatewith me? I guarantee you can get what you want."
The tempting offer naturally stirred Uncle's interest, but he also had concerns and worries. He couldonly ask softly, "Who are you? What kind of person are you?"
"No need to ask who I am. I'm just someone who can't stand seeing you being played around byothers. So, do you want to cooperate with me?"
The uncles still had selfish motives, completely swayed by their own interests, so it was only naturalfor them to be greatly enticed.
Uncle asked in a low voice, "Can you really help us?"
"Of course, otherwise, why would I bother making this call?"
"What do you need?"
"I don't need anything. I just want everyone to see Ayan's hypocritical face."
Such a response was perfect for Uncle. This person didn't have any ulterior motives towards them,only wanting to help. It couldn't get any better than this.
For the uncles, it was like a pie falling from the sky, making them extremely happy. However, in theirexcitement, they overlooked an important question: Does the other party really have such goodintentions?
This question was worth contemplating, but at this moment, they were completely captivated by allthe benefits, without any trace of vigilance. Their minds were focused on one thing only, which wasto completely break free from Ayan's control and threat.
In the evening, Camille and Ayan returned to the Simpson's mansion.
Tonight, there was no one from the old Simpson family, only Fletcher, Talia, Ayan, Camille, andTimmy sitting down for dinner.
During the meal, Fletcher brought up the matter of the Armstrong family and asked, "Have youinvestigated the situation?"
Camille instinctively looked at Ayan, who then put down his chopsticks and replied, "Not yet."
Fletcher narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "Don't keep everything hidden from the family.Although you're the ones bearing the pressure, the Simpson family is your backbone and support."
Upon hearing these words, Camille was naturally touched. She smiled and said, "Dad, thank you."
Fletcher said, "We are a family. We should face any situation together."
Talia chimed in, "Yes, we are all family. Don't say thank you for anything."
Camille nodded, and Fletcher's voice resounded again as he said, "Ayan, don't conceal anythingfrom us. Keep the entire process of the Armstrong family's matter confidential. It's not only a lack ofresponsibility towards this matter but also towards the Armstrong family."
Ayan raised an eyebrow and replied, "Hmm, I understand."
Fletcher naturally realized that he couldn't continue speaking further, so he simply said, "Since youalready know it yourself, I won't say much more."
Then they continued eating. Fletcher had never meddled in Ayan's affairs regarding the matter ofAyan, knowing that Ayan had his own sense of propriety and boundaries. Ayan would never crossthe line of the law or his own moral standards, so Fletcher felt reassured.
After the meal, Fletcher and Ayan sat in the hall drinking tea, while Camille and Talia accompaniedTimmy playing nearby.
In a low voice, Fletcher asked, "What are your thoughts on the Armstrong family's situation?"
Ayan held his teacup and looked at Fletcher, asking, "What are you referring to?"
Knowing that Ayan was deliberately beating around the bush, Fletcher played along and said, "Doyou mean to say that you still have no guesses or answers regarding the Armstrong family'ssituation?"
Ayan smiled faintly and casually put down his teacup. He looked at Fletcher and said, "Are youinsisting on getting a clear answer from me?"
"Do you really have no intention of telling us? Or do you think that we're old and can't offer any helpor advice, so you believe it's unnecessary to tell us?" Fletcher asked indifferently.
Ayan immediately became serious. His gaze towards Fletcher turned slightly solemn, and hewhispered, "That's not what I mean. It's just that this matter doesn't have a direct connection to theSimpson family. If it weren't for Cami's involvement, I wouldn't have intervened. But now that I have,I will resolve it completely."
"As things stand currently, it's highly likely that the Armstrong family's story ends here. As for thechild outside, it's still being determined if he's really their biological child. If he's not, then this matterwould become an even bigger joke for the Armstrong family."
Ayan directly explained the current situation. There was still no change in his facial expression, buthis deep eyes revealed a hint of heaviness as he said, "So I believe there's no need to sayanything. The situation has already developed to this point, and the outcome is alreadypredetermined."novelbin
The reason Ayan had been blocking information all along was to protect the future of the Armstrongfamily. If the matter was indeed related to Brody, they could consider Grace and Camille's thoughts.If they felt the need to teach him a lesson or hold him accountable, they could choose other ways tomake him pay the price. Sometimes, punishment and torment didn't necessarily mean sendingsomeone to prison.
They could opt for different approaches, such as sending him to a place that would cause moreanguish and suffering.
But now everything was exposed to the public, and this predicament was no longer suitable for theirinitial plans.
At this point, it was necessary to provide an explanation and response to the public, not just anaccount.
Countless eyes were watching, undoubtedly pushing the Armstrong family to the forefront.
Regardless of the outcome, it would be a loss and harm to the Armstrong family. The media andinternet users were merely spectators, while everyone involved in this matter was part of theArmstrong family. Ultimately, the loss would fall on the entire Armstrong family.
Ayan looked calmly at Fletcher and said, "Now, do you understand what I mean?"
Fletcher's expression also turned serious. He sighed silently and then said, "Brody is reallyconfused!"
Ayan replied, "Everyone has to pay the price for their mistakes, even someone as young as Timmy.What about an adult who has surpassed their prime?"
