Chapter 1485 - Retire
The older cousin didn't have much of a reaction, just saying nonchalantly, "Just average. Althoughshe's pretty and has a good figure, she has a major flaw that doesn't measure up to me."
This statement left Camille stunned.
Camille asked, "What flaw?"
"Divorced, and twice at that. Just based on that alone, she doesn't measure up to me." the oldercousin was very proud of his looks, after all, the only thing he could show off was his face and body.novelbin
Camille casually glanced at him, her eyes with a distinct indifference, as she said, "Divorce doesn'tmatter. As long as you both like each other, the most important thing is that she is very capable. Iheard that she has two of her own companies, which she entrusts to professionals to manage. Herex-husbands were just idle and spent their time playing with her as their main task."
As Camille spoke, she looked at the older cousin, watching his eyes gradually light up. A slightsmile unconsciously appeared on Camille's lips.
She continued, "But I think being wealthy isn't everything. The most important thing is that you likeeach other. If you don't like each other, even if the conditions are good, it's useless."
the older cousin didn't speak, his gaze already fixed on Elena and unable to move.
Camille and Grace hardly ate during this meal, as they both just watched everything in front of themlike bystanders.
Around nine-thirty, the meal finally ended, and Camille unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
At the urging of the two families, Elena and the older cousin exchanged contact information viaWeChat.
From then on, it had nothing to do with Camille and Grace, as the line had already been drawn.Whether the rope could be tied would depend on the abilities of the older cousin's family.
But this matter didn't last long. After just two days of not paying attention to it, there were alreadysignificant changes.
the older cousin followed Elena to Campole, and the two of them were already deeply in love.
the older cousin being able to win over Elena was a great achievement on Camille's part, so theextended family was very grateful to Camille. They even bought a lot of free-range chickens fromthe countryside and brought them over, but Camille didn't accept them. She just made one request:"I did this for the Armstrong family, so my uncle on my father's side surely has an opinion. If there isany trouble, please ask my uncle and aunt to speak up for me."
"Of course, we're all one family. If your uncle has any opinions, you can rest assured that I won'taccept them."
"Good, thank you, Uncle."
"Don't be polite. We're all one family; there's no need to be polite."
"Yes, okay. Uncle, I also have to tell you something. My brother is now in Campole, so you have togive him extra guidance. Don't do anything out of line, as it's only the beginning of their relationship,and they need to be cautious in dealing with the Fong family. You have to be extra careful ineverything."
This was Camille's final advice. If the family didn't want to listen, there was nothing Camille could doabout it.
Of course, Uncle was unlikely to listen. With Elena as their daughter-in-law, their family's life hadimproved. After the wedding, the whole family was going to move to Campole permanently, and onlythen could they truly enjoy good times.
So, faced with Camille's well-intentioned reminder, Uncle also waved his hand and said, "Camille,that's not right of you. Now that your brother has a good relationship with the Fong family, youshould wish for their success, not say these discouraging words. That's enough; I won't sayanything more to you. Since you don't want these chickens, I'll take them back home."
Uncle left with his things, and Camille didn't say another word. She just watched them leave, thentold the housekeeper, "Tell the security at the gate not to let anyone through who claims to be myuncle. I don't have an uncle."
The family affairs were now temporarily concluded, and any news would probably be about thewedding.
So, Camille and Grace could finally have some peace and quiet for a while. Camille had planned togo on a vacation for a few days after dealing with this matter, but now Elijah had disappeared again,and Camille didn't want to ask Ayan to play at this time. If she asked, he would agree, but heprobably would feel pressured.
Camille thought this way, and her mood became slightly subdued. She had asked Kian if there wasany news about Elijah. Kian had said, "Elijah doesn't have any identification on him, and he left indisguise. Preston's people are ready to pick him up, so there is still no news related to Elijah."
After hearing this, Camille was very frustrated. She still hadn't figured out what Preston's actionswere about, whether they were related to her or not.
If they were because of her, then what could she do to retire?
Also, she didn't think she had the charm to attract someone like Preston to persist like this.
But if it wasn't because of her, or it had nothing to do with her, then what was the reason?
Camille's face darkened, and her mood sank to a low point. She was also restless and agitated.
Preston hadn't appeared in front of her for a long time, and it had been a long time since he calledher from an unknown number. Also, with her recent busy schedule, she didn't have the spare timeto care what he was doing.
Camille hesitated about whether to try and find out about Preston's news.
Although they didn't have any mutual friends, Quintus had been by his side for a while. If shewanted to contact him, she probably could.
As Camille still hadn't found an answer, she received a call from the assistant by Daisy's side.
They had each other's contact information, so there were notes.
Camille knew the assistant was currently working with Daisy, so she immediately associated the callwith Daisy.
She quickly answered the call, and the assistant's voice came through, "Madam, it's me."
"Yes, I know. What's the matter?" Camille asked softly.
The other party hurriedly said, "Madam, Miss Daisy wants to talk to you."
Camille furrowed her brow slightly. She had no connection with Daisy, the most interaction they'dhad was sharing a meal when Daisy first arrived in Hance City, so there was no need for a phonecall, right?
Camille thought this but considering Daisy's current cooperation with the Simpson Group, shehesitated for two or three seconds before saying, "Is there something going on?"
