Chapter 1459 Lifetime
Kerry's words left Daisy completely silent.
Her expression was very cold, with a noticeably indifferent glint in her eyes. If anyone else were tosee her like this, they would surely mistake her excitement for a change in her boyfriend's attitude.
Without a sound from Daisy, Kerry remained silent, not asking anything.
The atmosphere became unusually heavy, with both of them holding back a great deal of emotion,unwilling to let the other know.
Kerry had liked Daisy for many years and understood her every move and word, so he couldaccurately guess what was on her mind at this moment.
After a long silence, Daisy finally said faintly, "I was thinking too much. I'm sorry. Well, if there'snothing else, let's leave it at that for now. See you at the restaurant for lunch."
After saying this, Daisy didn't wait for Kerry to respond and hung up the call immediately.
This urgency left Kerry with no chance to react until long after the call had ended.
During lunch with Daisy, everything went smoothly, with no conversation besides work matters.
At the same time, the police also issued a message regarding the follow-up to the Armstrongfamily's situation, including the sentencing of Brody and Regina.
The swift release of this information was thanks to the attention of netizens, or else it wouldn't havebeen so quick.
The police mentioned in the verdict that both Brody and Regina were the masterminds, but Regina'splot was more heinous, so she was given a life sentence and stripped of all her finances. As forBrody, he was sentenced to twenty years, and all his assets were temporarily frozen.
The freezing of all his assets was proposed by Ayan to the police. This was done for publicconsumption, especially to let the people at Armstrong Corp know that if the shares of ArmstrongCorp hadn't been transferred to Grace, Armstrong Corp would have faced significantconsequences.
After this news came out, the netizens who had been following the case immediately cheered.novelbin
Camille also saw this news for the first time. She didn't have much of a reaction, as she had longexpected this outcome.
However, there was still some hope and expectation on Brody's side.
After the police notified them of the verdict, Brody remained calm and believed that Camille wouldcome back to save him.
But the truth proved him wrong. Camille had never intended to save him.
Although Camille didn't have much of a reaction or emotion, she still sent a message of comfort toGrace. Even though it had been many days since the incident happened, Grace's heart was still alittle down and sad.
Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Brody and Regina were taken away by the prison. Not until thismoment did Brody vaguely realize.
Brody refused to get in the car, and he was extremely agitated, constantly shouting to see Camille.
He said, "I want to see Camille. I want to see my daughter. Otherwise, I won't go."
Brody's emotions were almost in a state of collapse. He felt that he could only get Camille to comesee him by acting this way.
But neither the police nor the prison would indulge him, so they forcibly took him away in the car.
Seeing this, Brody became even more uneasy, and his excessive agitation caused him to suddenlyfaint.
Camille immediately received a phone call, but after learning of the situation, she did not respond tothe police and instead said, "Leave this matter to the police to handle. He fainted on their territory,so there's no need to inform me."
Camille knew Brody's thoughts and chose to ignore the situation. She wouldn't inquire about it orpersonally go to the hospital but still told Ayan about it.
After learning about it, Ayan agreed with Camille's decision and reassured her not to worry; hewould handle it.
Ayan arranged for Kian to contact the police and then went to the hospital to visit Brody.
When Kian arrived at the hospital, Brody had just woken up. Seeing that it was Kian and not Camilleor Ayan, Brody's emotions were obviously not good.
His veins were bulging on his head, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked at Kian and hoarselysaid, "Where's Camille? Where's Camille? I want to see Camille!"
Kian approached and, once the doctor left the ward, spoke up. "Mr. Armstrong, Mrs. Simpson andMr. Simpson are quite busy, so they arranged for me to come. If you have anything to say, just tellme directly!"
"I want to see Camille. I said I want to see Camille. I'm her father. Can't I even see my owndaughter?" Brody's attitude was very arrogant, not putting Kian in his eyes at all. Even though Kianwas Ayan's secretary, in Brody's eyes, a secretary's status did not match his own.
Kian didn't mind and remained friendly as he looked at Brody. After Brody vented his emotions, Kiancalmly said, "Mr. Armstrong, there are some things that not only you know, but Mrs. Simpson knowsas well. So when you say that Mrs. Simpson is your daughter and you want to see her, is it reallynot possible? In a normal father-daughter relationship, of course, it's possible, not only that, therewould be all kinds of ways to get you out to see her. But your relationship with Mrs. Simpson issomething you know best. I don't think I need to reiterate it."
Kian's eyes were very cold and low, which put a lot of pressure on Brody internally.
Brody knew that Camille's promise to rescue him from this place was just a lie to calm him, but nowhe knew this far too late.
Brody remained silent and showed no reaction for a long time, with no hope visible in his eyes.
Seeing this, Kian also didn't show any sympathy and calmly said, "Mr. Armstrong, everything hasbeen said. I hope you will spend the rest of your life in peace inside."
Although it was only twenty years, Brody's body might not be able to withstand it.
As Kian left the ward, he leaned over and whispered something in Brody's ear as instructed byAyan. Brody's face instantly turned pale and weak, with clear signs of panic and gloom in his eyes.
Kian took one look at him and then left the ward.
Kian had already coordinated with the police and the prison, and if Brody had any furtherdiscomfort, it would be dealt with in a straightforward manner. After all, they couldn't go to thehospital every time, and this matter had already caused a lot of dissatisfaction. If they allowed Brody
to go out for medical treatment repeatedly, it would inevitably make people suspect a connectionwith Simpson Group. Therefore, everything had to follow the normal procedure.
An hour later, Kian returned to Simpson Group.
He knocked on the office door and briefed Ayan on the detailed situation. He also mentioned whatAyan instructed him to tell Brody, saying, "Mr. Armstrong had a fairly strong reaction after hearingmy words. Perhaps he still held some hope, but after listening to me, I don't think he dares to haveany thoughts."
