Chapter 1444 Rationality
Because those who speak up for Camille will be criticized and the criticism is not pretty, so everyonehas stopped speaking up for Camille, opting to remain silent and neutral, avoiding taking sides.novelbin
The situation started with questioning Camille's attitude towards the Armstrong family and has nowevolved into questioning Camille's work capabilities and insider information about the competition.This has involved many people, especially the organizers of the competition who promptly issued aclarification statement, as many netizens requested an explanation on their official page.
The organizers quickly released a statement, stating, "Miss King made it to the finals based on herown merit and abilities. Every competition we host is done according to standard procedures, so wehope people do not speculate randomly. If there are any questions, they can contact the relevantdepartment for an investigation, rather than spreading rumors. Otherwise, we will take legal action.We hope for everyone's cooperation!"
The organizers of the design competition are prominent figures, known for their excellence inhosting such events. Their background is strong, and their official statement silenced manydetractors. However, some whispered boldly, "I suspect the organizers have been bribed? After all,don't forget Simpson Group is sponsoring this design competition. It's not far-fetched to think a fewwords can sway things in their favor!"
"I agree, it's better if the competition becomes more transparent. They shouldn't treat us like fools."
In response to these troublesome individuals, the organizers directly tagged their accounts in theofficial post and handed the issue over to their lawyers.
The swift action stopped many from further speculation.
Sienna couldn't help but vent to Camille, expressing her frustration. Sienna was livid and said, "Dopeople doubt our business abilities? Do they not have jobs and spend their days just watching us?Why don't they go to the market and chat with the aunties there to pass the time!"
"The aunties probably find them annoying. So, don't get worked up. We know what kind of peoplethey are, and that's enough. I don't care about the others."
"I know, I don't care either. I just can't control myself; I'm just so angry!"
"Don't get too worked up; it feels like you're going to explode!"
"Yeah, I'm not kidding. I feel like rushing to the other side of the screen and giving those rumor-mongers a good beating." Sienna was fed up with these troublemakers, wondering why they don'tfocus on work and making money. Why obsess over others' lives?
It's so boring. Have they earned enough for Chinese New Year? Paid off the mortgage? Bought acar? Got a spouse or kids? Are their parents healthy?
With so many things to consider, why focus on Camille and her affairs?
Camille felt Sienna's exasperation and continuously comforted her, advising not to get upset orharm her health over such individuals.
They didn't talk for long as the matters with the Armstrong family still needed attention.
Though the police had released their findings, Brody's and Regina's charges were pending. Camillewanted to meet Grace to discuss matters and inform Brody about some Armstrong Corp issues. Heneeded to know that by signing off his shares, they had legally been transferred to Grace.
Camille and Grace decided to go to the police station in the afternoon. Camille messaged Kian tocoordinate with the authorities about their visit.
Before that, Camille accompanied Grace to Armstrong Corp, which was currently tense due toBrody's situation. The fear of job insecurity loomed among the employees, with concerns thatArmstrong Corp might go bankrupt due to the troubles faced by the Armstrong family. The lack ofresponse from Horace only added to the anxiety, as it seemed unaffected by the situation.
Employees speculated within the company, "Is Armstrong Corp going down the drain? If it does,what about my year-end bonus? My benefits?"
"I just got a permanent position; I hope I don't have to start job-hunting again. Even if we gobankrupt, the compensation might be minimal."
"I've been with Armstrong Corp for many years; I'm more worried!"
In the company's internal group chat, although named employees, some were Horace's informants.They reported everything to Horace, who remained indifferent, showing no apparent concern.
The secretary whispered, "Should I remind Mr. Burris? The internal tension due to the Armstrongfamily's issues is causing employees to react irrationally."
"No need. As long as it doesn't harm the company's reputation or interest, there is no need to paymuch attention. It's normal for people to feel anxious in the current situation."
Horace didn't have time to address the issue. After finishing some paperwork, he instructed thesecretary to reschedule his afternoon appointments and ensure security near the company'sentrance.
Concerned about irrational actions from online users, media, or journalists, Horace reachedArmstrong Corp to meet Grace and Camille.
The two arrived in Ayan's chauffeured car, and Horace's precise monitoring allowed him to bepresent just as they arrived. Journalists were nearby, with cameras focused on them, eager for a
story.
Camille, who recently trended online, remained unfazed. Upon seeing Horace, she greeted him witha smile.
