Chapter 1484 The Heart
So Camille did not show any emotions to Yessica regarding this matter and did not chat much aboutit.
In order to figure out this matter quickly, Camille also prepared to leave work early to go home.
However, before this, something else happened.
Uncle contacted Grace because he couldn't reach Camille, so he had to ask Grace for everything.Uncle wanted his son to marry the daughter of a mining tycoon, trying to use this relationship torestrain the Armstrong family and let his son truly secure a position in the Armstrong family.
Grace immediately informed Camille of the news. Uncle hoped that his son would marry thedaughter of the mining tycoon, wanting to use this relationship to strategically position their family inthe Armstrong family. Grace was in a dilemma and didn't know how to respond to Uncle's request,so she decided to ask Camille for advice.
Upon hearing this news, Camille was also stunned for a moment. It seemed that Uncle's family hadcompletely fallen for money.
She asked calmly, "Have they considered this carefully? Explain the situation there clearly, so therewon't be any accusations of neglecting family in the future."
Grace nodded in agreement and said, "I have seen through them. Since Mom's accident, I havenever received any concern from them; all they care about is their own gain. They never thoughtabout our family, let alone Mom. I'd rather not have such relatives."
After the incident with Page, Grace had grown a lot. She had become more independent andlearned who she could rely on and who she couldn't.
Up to this point, she had realized that one doesn't need a lot of relatives and friends, only enoughsincerity and honesty, are enough.
Camille could clearly feel Grace's emotions and understand her previous personality, so sheunderstood that Grace must be truly hurt to say such things.
Camille didn't say much to comfort her, simply stating, "Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter. Theyare not important people, so it's not surprising that they would do something like this."
"Right, you're right," Grace replied in agreement.
Because they had to reply to Uncle promptly, they didn't chat for too long and ended the call.
Grace immediately called Uncle, and his response was exactly as expected. Their eyes were onlyon money and benefits, so there was no hesitation.
Uncle said, "Arrange for Camille to arrange a meeting for the two families as soon as possible. Aslong as the woman is filial and has a good character, her looks do not matter to us. We are a veryapproachable family, and we will not look down on anyone."
Uncle's words implied that money was the most important thing, and everything else wasunimportant.
The older cousin was quite handsome, tall, and looked good. He had dated many girlfriends duringhis college years because of his resemblance to a former husband of a star's fan. Now that he wasolder and the family's business was on the decline, he couldn't find a girl from a good family. Heusually dated college students who had not yet entered society.
Finally encountering a girl from a very wealthy family was a rare opportunity for him, and he didn'twant to miss it.
Camille agreed to all of Uncle's requests and let Rex arrange a time for them to meet over dinner.
The meeting was set for two nights after that.
The location and restaurant for the dinner were naturally arranged by the man's side. Uncle said,"Camille, Grace, he is your brother now and a member of the Armstrong family. In my opinion, thedinner should be hosted by the Armstrong family for it to be legitimate. We are just their uncle andaunt. What do you think?"
Uncle didn't want to give anything and only wanted to gain back benefits. Camille and Grace didn'twant to argue and just wanted to get Uncle out quickly because they would rely on him to restrainthe younger uncle's family in the future. Although the younger uncle's family was temporarily silentdue to the online issue, it didn't mean that they would always remain silent.
Everything was already ready, and they were waiting for the girl's family to arrive from Campole.
Before they arrived, Camille told Ayan about the situation. She said, "These two days, you andHorace shouldn't show up. As long as you don't show up, I believe my handsome cousin cansuccessfully win over this young lady."
Ayan laughed, "Isn't this a done deal?"
"I'm worried about any unexpected situations, so it's better to be safe," Camille replied. Withtomorrow's dinner approaching, she was still a little nervous, even though Rex had already shownher and Grace the young lady's photo. She felt a bit guilty, as if she was doing something wrong.
Ayan reassured her, "Don't be nervous. Everything will be fine. If both sides are not interested, thenit's not meant to be. If they are willing, it will depend on your skills to win your uncle's approval. If
your uncle's family agrees but the other side doesn't, then it will depend on their sincerity."
After the meeting, it would be a matter for their two families, and they would have no relationshipwith Camille and Grace.
To meet the future daughter-in-law and in-laws, Uncle's family was busy preparing. They boughtnew clothes, which were quite expensive, and they also dressed up the older cousin. With theaddition of a car from Ayan, they now completely lived up to the status of rich second-generation.
The dinner was arranged at a hotel under the Simpson Group. It was a huge luxurious private room.
Uncle's family arrived early, and Camille and Grace arrived later.
Kian arranged for a driver to pick up the main character of the evening. Upon reaching the hotel, itwas already around 7 p. m. due to a delayed flight. Camille had the hotel prepare flowers for the twoladies. The mining tycoon's daughter, Elena Fong, is known for being pampered.
Elena's mood was not beautiful, probably due to the long journey. Even when Camille and Gracegreeted her, she was indifferent. Camille had thought she was the type of girl who would fall in loveat first sight, but that didn't seem to be the case. She'll have to wait for this girl's heart to decide.
Elena's parents were extremely arrogant, thinking that no one knew about the Fong family's affairs.They said, "We only came over here out of respect for Mr. Ward. Traditionally, it should be the man'sfamily visiting the woman's family first. This would be in line with traditions, and also a sign ofrespect towards our Fong family. But Mr. Ward explained your family's circumstances, and weunderstand."novelbin
Shana spoke indifferently, her gaze passing over Uncle's family. She didn't show any respect forthem.
Camille gave Uncle a look, urging him to not remain silent.
The uncle quickly raised his glass to Mr. Fong and then asked Aunt to take care of Shana.
Their actions were completely to please the Fong family, and at first glance, one might think theywere hired help.
Uncle and Aunt were busy trying to please the Fong family, while the older cousin had not moved atall. He was sitting next to Camille, so she could easily ask him, "Do you have any thoughts? MissFong seems quite beautiful. She should catch your eye, right?"
