Chapter 1462: Acceptance
Seeing the name on the incoming call, her expression turned cold.
She pressed the answer button, but before she could speak, a voice came through: "Crystal? Haveyou talked to Ayan? What did he say? Did he agree?"
Crystal furrowed her brows and her expression darkened. Her voice was low and hoarse as shesaid, "Just finished talking."
"What did he say then?"
"He doesn't agree for now. There's a lot of attention on the Armstrong family right now. If we haveany involvement with Camille at this time, it will definitely be brought to light. So I think it's notappropriate. Let's wait for the right time to make a decision!" Crystal took a deep breath and saidthese words without any hesitation, as she truly believed in them.
After spending time with Ayan and Camille, she could clearly see what kind of people they were. Sothis time, she chose to stand with Camille.
Her words naturally provoked a strong reaction from the other person: "Crystal, do you also thinkthis way? Have you not thought about the situation of our Bill family? If this matter is not resolvedquickly, we will face big trouble."
Crystal's tone was also firm, as she said, "If this matter blows up, will the Bill family not be introuble?"
Crystal's words silenced the other person, and their tone softened: "Crystal, I'm also anxious.Among all your siblings, only you know about this matter. And the people she now knows are also
only you. If you take action against her, maybe this matter can be covered up. As long as not manypeople know, the decision lies in her hands."
"Have you thought about Ayan? This is in Hance City. If Ayan doesn't agree, do you think we canmake her accept?"
Crystal replied, "If you don't want this matter to fail, then don't rush. Let's remain calm for now.Everything will be resolved when the time is right."
Crystal's words had some effect, at least the other person didn't insist stubbornly. If they continuedto be so stubborn, the resolution of this matter in the end would be very embarrassing.
Crystal now regretted knowing about this matter. If she didn't know, she wouldn't be in this difficultsituation.
It was just a coincidence that she found out. If she hadn't overheard, she would be at ease now.
Crystal couldn't pretend she knew nothing, so she had to deal with her emotions on her own.
After a long silence, she messaged Kian and asked him to convey to Ayan: "Tell Mr. Simpson, Ihave dealt with the Bill family. I am not compromising, I'm just seeing this matter from hisperspective. His goal is also my goal."
After seeing Crystal's message, Kian showed no response, and his expression was very cold.
Noticing this, Kian couldn't help asking, "Mr. Simpson, if Crystal stabilizes the Bill family, can werelax a bit?"
"Stabilizing is just temporary. If we only investigate from Crystal, it may not be effective. We stillneed to find out from the old employees of the Bill family. Because this matter is not recent, and it'sbeen more than twenty years. Naturally, it can't be something known by new people."
But this matter couldn't be resolved in a day or two. It might not be easy to investigate.
Ayan furrowed his brows, placed the water glass down, and spoke in a disinterested tone,"Regardless of whether Crystal is using delay tactics, what's certain is that the Bill family doesn'twant this matter to blow up. So, this means we have some control over the situation. Since theydon't want to go public, their intentions might not be good."
Ayan let out a sneer, his deep eyes covered in a coldness that reflected in his facial expression,without any warmth.
He would not turn a blind eye to those with unfriendly motives approaching Camille.
Ayan instructed Kian to keep an eye on the Bill family. If there were any signs, he should inform himimmediately.
After finishing work in the afternoon, he went straight home. He had no social engagements today,so he could spend time with Camille.
The news about the Armstrong family was still on the internet, although the hype had died down.But there were still many people following it.
So, Camille and Grace had been very low-key these past few days. They hardly went out, and thepeople they met were all family members. Naturally, netizens were oblivious to the things related tothem.
When Ayan arrived home, Camille had just come downstairs. She saw Ayan and smiled instantly,"You're back early today!"
"Come back to have dinner with you. Happy?" he asked.
"Yes, of course," she said, knowing that it was a surprise for her.
She walked towards Ayan, took his hand, and said softly, "Let's go out for a drink tomorrow night?"
With so much going on recently, even when they were alone together, it was mostly about recentevents. Camille wanted a night out to put recent events behind them.
Ayan understood her intention, so he agreed without hesitation.
However, going out for a drink wouldn't make much of a difference from drinking at home. SinceCamille suggested going out, it meant that they would probably invite others as well.
At that moment, the housekeeper reminded them that dinner was ready. Ayan held her hand andwalked to the dining room and sent a message in the group chat of the four of them: "Meeting at theclub tomorrow night at 8 pm. Family members welcome."
The message was clear, and the group members immediately responded.
Someone rebelliously asked, "What if we don't have family members? Can we come and have afew drinks by ourselves?"
Ayan glanced at the message but didn't reply.
After dinner, as per their routine, they went for a walk together. Living in Franklin Bay had theadvantage that even when they went out, they were not likely to be photographed. It was acommunity where people valued privacy, and everyone kept each other's privacy. Each villa wasregistered and couldn't be sold or rented out.
Living in such a secure place had many advantages.
As they walked hand in hand, Ayan asked, "How are you feeling recently?"
Camille looked puzzled, "About the Armstrong family's matter?"
"About everything."
"Not very good, feeling exhausted," Camille sighed heavily. Her face also showed a hint of sadness,her voice was heavy, "I thought my reaction wouldn't be that big, but now that I think about it, I dofeel very sad. They may not have treated me well, but there are some things that can't be erased.Even though they didn't raise me, they still gave me life."novelbin
Listening to her, Ayan's expression also darkened. He remained silent for a long time, which madeCamille curious, "Why are you not saying anything?"
