Chapter 1448 Selling Out
After a brief pause, Camille took a deep breath and said, "I understand what you mean, and I feelthe same way about you. So, don't have any wild thoughts. Even though we didn't grow up together,aren't we doing well now?"
Camille tilted her head and looked at Grace, with a faint smile on her lips. She said, "Not only arewe doing well now, but we will also do well in the future, right?"
"Yes, we will only get better in the future," Grace said as she opened her arms to hug Camille.
Her actions made Camille stiffen slightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable, but it was just a smalldiscomfort, not enough to worry about. What troubled Camille was the unusual behavior of Grace.
Because Camille always felt Grace's reactions were somewhat odd, a strange taste one couldn'tquite place.
After Grace released her, Camille couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Did somethinghappen? Do you need to tell me the truth?"
At these words, Grace immediately smiled and said, "I'm fine, don't worry. If anything happens, I willlet you know!"
"Good to hear," Camille replied, still feeling slightly uneasy but not saying anything more.
The two didn't linger and went straight to the police station.
Kian had arranged everything, so when Camille and Grace arrived, they were promptly received bya policewoman they had met before when accompanying Grace to see Regina.
She told them, "Hold on a moment. Mr. Armstrong needs to prepare."
Camille casually asked, "What needs to be prepared? Isn't he already under detention?"
If it was just detention, shouldn't there be no need for preparation?
So, Camille's question was out of curiosity, but the policewoman seemed a bit dazed after hearingit, then smiled and said, "I'm not sure either because it's not my responsibility. Let me go check,please wait."
Camille nodded and thanked her.
The policewoman returned in less than five minutes. Brody was ready, and she led the two to thesmall dark room where Brody was being held.
It was the first time the two of them had come together to see Brody. Before, Grace had met himalone. So, when Camille saw Brody, she was slightly taken aback. Brody looked rather disheveled.
Due to Ayan's specific instructions, there was no special treatment inside, as the matter hadgarnered too much attention. If there were any special treatment, it would likely lead to trouble.novelbin
So, Brody hadn't even shaved, and it was the first time the two had seen Brody in such a disheveledstate.
The two sat only half a meter away from Brody. Unlike the prison visits where there was a glassbarrier, this face-to-face confrontation allowed them to see the changes in Brody's face more clearly.
Brody sat there calmly, showing no emotional fluctuations, indicating that he felt no remorse for hisactions. This greatly agitated Grace, who went straight to the point and said, "We have something totell you today."
She no longer addressed Brody with respect because she was utterly disappointed in her father.She no longer wanted to call him dad. If possible, she would rather treat him as a stranger.
Brody just glanced at them and his indifferent gaze made Grace even more restless.
Grace said, "Last time, you signed an agreement, which has now become a transfer of your equity.So, all the shares in your name are now in my hands. I plan to sell all these shares, to Horace.Since you are so concerned about the shares of Armstrong Corp being leaked to outsiders, I'll sellthem all to someone you don't like!"
Grace was deliberately provoking Brody, trying to make him feel uncomfortable and tormented.
Grace knew Brody well, and after she finished speaking, Brody's expression changed instantly.
Brody looked at Grace discontentedly, with anger burning in his eyes as he demanded, "What didyou say? Say it again?"
"I said I want to give all the shares of Armstrong Corp to Horace or someone else, in other words, Iwant Armstrong Corp to completely disassociate from Armstrong Corp. From now on, there will beno connection with Armstrong Corp." Grace's face was cold, and she was entirely provoking him,making him uncomfortable and unhappy.
Brody was furious and agitated. He slammed the table in front of him with force but couldn't makeany other move due to his restraints. He said, "Grace, have you gone mad?"
Grace just smiled, releasing all the accumulated emotions on Brody at that moment. She smiledindifferently and said, "Exactly, I'm crazy. Aren't we all the Armstrong family crazy? Why would youdo such things if you're not crazy? If mom isn't crazy, why has she refused to divorce you until now?Everyone is crazy, so isn't it normal for me to go crazy too?"
Grace's eyes were cold and filled with a chilling indifference as she continued, "Dad, I'm justlearning from you. You always wanted me to learn from you, right? Now that I've learned from you,why are you unhappy?"
Grace's words were almost driving Brody crazy.
But what could he do? He had to bear it, after all, he was the hero now!
Since Grace was completely unreliable, Brody turned his gaze to Camille. He looked at her andignored Grace entirely, saying, "Cami, listen to me. Transfer all the shares to your name. You arealso a part of the Armstrong family. You can inherit Armstrong Corp's shares together with Grace.With Ayan by your side, Grace is no match for you. Trust me, have Ayan get me out of here, andeverything from now on will be yours. I don't want anything."
Brody knew that only Camille had the ability to help him now. If Camille sided with him, he couldthwart Grace's plans.
So, all his hopes were now pinned on Camille. He looked at her expectantly, his eyes filled withhope, but Camille just calmly met his gaze, neither refusing nor agreeing. Brody waited and waited,almost desperately.
