Chapter 1449: Touching the Scene
Camille finally reacted and looked at Brody, saying, "Do you now acknowledge that I am a memberof the Armstrong family?"
Brody was momentarily stunned, then quickly replied, "Of course, you are indeed a member of theArmstrong family."
"But didn't Mom and Dad used to say that I am not part of the Armstrong family? That nothingrelated to the Armstrong family has anything to do with me? Why is it that every time somethinghappens, I suddenly become part of the Armstrong family? Are you trying to use me?" Camille saidlightly, with a harmless look on her face as she gazed at Brody, her eyes seeming to say, "Aren'tyou contradicting yourself now?"
Brody's face turned stiff, looking quite unsightly.
Camille, however, paid him no mind and continued, "If I am a member of the Armstrong family, thenI should be entitled to all of Armstrong Corp's shares, right?"
"Of course."
"Alright, if I am to have all the shares, then I have a request." Camille said lightly.
Grace instinctively looked at Camille, her eyes not filled with suspicion but surprise.
Camille gave Grace a calming look, then turned her gaze back to Brody, who asked, "Whatrequest?"
"Very simple, I'll record a video, and you will detail everything, including your relationship withRegina, your marriage to Mom, and your coldness and prejudice towards me and Grace." Camillelooked at Brody expressionless, her voice cold and indifferent. She said, "If you fulfill this, then I willfulfill my promise to you, inheriting Armstrong Corp's shares, and naturally, allowing Armstrong Corpto continue thriving."
In truth, Camille understood Brody very well, knowing the kind of person he was and that he woulddefinitely agree.
Because he valued Armstrong Corp too much, he was willing to do anything for it, even doing thingsthat made others detest him.
However, Camille's attitude towards him had become almost indifferent at this point. Because shedidn't care, there were no emotions or waves.novelbin
There was a brief silence for a few seconds during which Brody seemed to hesitate, but eventuallynodded.
He said, "Alright, I can agree to your terms and do as you ask, but you must fulfill your promise tome."
"Of course, rest assured." Camille said with a smile.
She immediately called the police for help in recording a video.
Camille told Brody that the video would be kept privately. If Brody were to go back on his word, thenthe video would be used as evidence and leverage to make him quiet. But as long as Brodyremained silent, the video would not resurface.
Brody, full of trust and no longer suspicious, knew that with things at this critical juncture, there wasno choice but to believe Camille. What else could he do?
During the recording process, Camille and Grace came out of the house since the entire housewould be recorded, with the police present to ensure the best evidence was kept.
After they came out, the two sat in the waiting area of the corridor. Grace, not entirelyunderstanding, asked Camille, "Cami, why are you doing this? Are you really going to agree to hisdemands?"
Camille smiled lightly, "Do you think I would?"
"No, that's why I'm curious." Grace said, looking at Camille.
Camille's face still had a smile, with a hint of amusement in her voice. She said, "No need to becurious, you can just ask me directly, I won't withhold any information from you."
Camille told Grace, "It's simple, I just want to make another statement. At least let everyone knowwhat he has done. Only by hearing it from his own mouth can people believe it. We could havedone without this, but it's better to do something than nothing. Only by doing this can we shut othersup. As for his promise, he was never a trustworthy person, so why should we keep our word tohim?"
Grace agreed with a nod, "Yes, we should treat him this way."
Camille also smiled, with a smile between her brows, "Don't worry, everything will pass, andeverything will get better."
Grace nodded again, and both women exchanged smiles.
A moment later, the police came out to inform them that the video was ready and sent directly toKian for review, asking if there were any issues.
After completing this series of events, the two bid farewell to Brody. He was now completely ignoredby Grace, his focus entirely on Camille, looking at her with a smile. "Cami, I am counting on you.Once everything is settled, I will retire to the countryside, leaving Armstrong Corp in your hands. Inever break my promises, you can trust me."
"Alright, you can rest assured, I will take care of everything." Camille said, cooperating.
After ensuring he took care of himself, it was probably the last time they would visit him. Camilleand Grace would not likely come to see him again unless there were extraordinary circumstances.
A nagging thought lingered in Grace's mind, but she was conflicted about confronting Brody.However, considering the current situation, she decided to hold back on that thought.
After meeting with Brody, the two left the police station.
On the way back, Grace and Camille chatted about Regina's situation, as Page's death directlyimplicated Regina and Brody. Regina was legally deemed the mastermind, so she would not escapelegal responsibility.
Grace asked Camille, "Regarding Regina, when the verdict is reached, I want Mr. Simpson to helpkeep Vere in the dark about anything related to Regina, so as not to hurt him too deeply. Do youthink that's okay?"
"Of course, just let Kian know when the time comes. I am very supportive of dealing with children'sissues separately. It's better not to involve children in adult matters, leaving a clean environment forthe future." Camille said.
"Okay."
The driver first dropped off Grace at the Armstrong's villa. She needed to sort out things at home forthe next few days. As for the villa, Grace planned to have professionals take care of it. She didn't
want to live there for the time being, afraid of being reminded of past events and causing emotionalpain.
Grace didn't ask Camille about all this, knowing that Camille didn't want to be involved. So shedecided not to ask and avoided stirring up Camille's past memories, as they were not happymemories.
After dropping off Grace, Camille returned to Franklin Bay.
Ayan had advised her not to go to the company until this matter was resolved. She also didn't wantto cause trouble for Sienna, so she better stay at home for a while.
Back home, she was alone.
She checked the time and decided to call Ayan.
The call was answered promptly. Sometimes she wondered if Ayan had set up special reminders ora feature to automatically answer her calls because, except when he was in a meeting, he alwayspicked up immediately.
The voice of a man came through the phone, slightly husky, "Back from the police station?"
