Female Novel
Chapter 205: Loss
Camille wore a smile. The decision was made actually when she uttered the words.
She is Brody’s daughter. Although she doesn’t have shares in Armstrong Corp, her identity was enoughnovelbin
to demonstrate everything. In addition, Grace didn’t say a word at all, which showed obviously that she
agreed with her.
Elijah lost the real power. Camille handed everything over to the two people she borrowed from Mario.
Elijah wanted to join others in protest, but was restrained by the employee contract. Therefore, he had
nothing to do but comply.
All of that was ready the moment Mario’s secretary entered Armstrong Corp.
After dealing with these things, Camille came out of Armstrong Corp, with Grace following behind. She
didn’t understand everything Camille did tonight and she asked, “Camille, Elijah and dad are on good
terms and he has been working hard for Armstrong Corp for many years. What you did might made the
elders disappointed.”
“If I don’t, Armstrong Corp would be over soon.”
Camille didn’t say too much.
Grace asked, “What do you mean?”
“My meaning is simple. Don’t trust anyone but yourself and don’t let anyone bother dad until he
recovered. Is that alright?”
Grace trusted Camille subconsciously after the warehouse incident, so she nodded.
Grace looked intelligent, but she was a sheltered lady who didn’t know much about business.
Camille gave her a deep look and did not say the words that came out of her heart for fear of upsetting
her.
She got on the car after saying the words to her. Grace said quickly, “Camille, would you want to go to
the hospital to visit daddy?”
“Nope. I don’t think that they are willing to see me.”
“No, they…”
“Well. I’m afraid that you won’t believe yourself if you continue. Camille interrupted her and rolled up
the window.
She leaned in the back seat with her eyes closing. At the moment, Kian got into the car.
“Mrs. Simpson, are you going to the company or to Simpson Group?”
“Take me home. I’m a little tired.”
“Okay.”
Kian nodded and started the car.
Camille went back to her apartment. She lay down to rest after taking a shower.
Kian also took action as Elijah went to the hospital where the two jumpers stayed after Camille left
Armstrong Corp.
Kian had already arranged for someone to follow him and started looking into his personal accounts
and the ones who contacted with him the most frequently.
After Kian’s investigation, he found that Elijah had been plotting for a year.
Relying on Grace’s trust, he betrayed Armstrong Corp to make immoral money. Armstrong Corp
appeared to be totally intact. In fact, there were many problems, which were the main reasons why the
company suffered crisis when they ended the partnership with Simpson Group.
Besides, the reason why Armstrong Corp owed so much debt was that Elijah misled Brody into signing
some unfair debt agreements deliberately. Kian checked out the companies that Armstrong Corp owed
money to. Every company was familiar with Elijah. And they were all doing business with Elijah.
More importantly, the former settlement for Simpson Group was transferred into his own account. And
the employees who jumped off the building to claim from Armstrong Corp were also used by Elijah to
confuse Armstrong Corp. He originally intended to transfer the money from his account quietly when
Brody was too busy to pay attention to him. However, Camille arranged other work for her, leaving him
unable to get away.
Kian told Camille everything he learned, including some evidence and recordings he investigated.
Kain said, “Mrs. Simpson, with these things, his crime must be a done deal.”
Camille narrowed his eves slightly and said, “Thank you, Mr. Reid.”
Camille took the items. She didn’t do anything but ask him, “Do you think that Armstrong family will
believe me?”
Camille was not very confident about this.
Considering what Armstrong family had done to her, she thought the Armstrong family would rather
trust Elijah than her.
Camille pressed her lips and looked blank.
Kian was also puzzled by the question.
Since it was a matter of Armstrong family, he couldn’t tell for sure.
But he thought it over and had an idea finally for Camille. “Mrs. Simpson, I think Grace can still discern
between right and wrong. You can send her the evidence anonymously so that she can make a
choice.”
Camille stayed silent.
In fact, she felt quite ridiculous. She couldn’t help finding out but she didn’t have the confidence to
show her hand totally.
To the Armstrong family, she still could not ignore completely.
She took a silent breath and emailed the evidence to Grace as Kian said just now.
Camille waited for a long time with no result. If nothing came of it, she didn’t want to pay attention the
matter anymore. She had signed up for the design contest, so she needed three assistants while
preparing for her entries.
The theme of the architectural design competition was farm. She needed to focus on the innovative use
for the farm while couldn’t ignore the meaning of the theme itself.
These demands posed a great challenge to all the designers participating in the competition. The
theme was proposed by Simpson Group because they had snapped up a piece of land a few years ago
and had not started yet. It was part of their new projects this year. They intended to develop a farm
resort.
The first round of the competition was about the overall design framework, which determined whether
the participants could enter the second round. If successfully entered the second round, they needed to
submit the overall design outline which decided whether they could make it to the finals. Finally, the top
three would be selected from complete design drawing and other aspects.
In the evening, Camille came back to the apartment.
She sat in front of the computer staring at it in a daze. She had no idea, tilting her head and feeling
weak.
Ayan brought her some fruits and asked, “What’s going on?”
“Why would Simpson Group use the farm as the theme?”
She was confused.
Ayan laughed, “That land is fit for farms, not for tall buildings and houses.”
“It could be a park.”
“Camille, I’m a businessman. Do you think that it would make a profit? Farm is the only way to make
money for Simpson Group.”
He was serious enough to leave Camille speechless.
Camille smiled faintly and said, “Capitalist’s ideas are really simple and direct.”
“You are laughing at me?” Ayan pinched her face and made her turn to look at him. Camille tried to
escape, but he didn’t give her a chance. He asked in hoarse voice, “What’s wrong with you? Are you
unhappy?”
Her mood was visibly unhappy.
Camille didn’t deny it. She whispered back with her lips pursing, “No.”
“Really?”
“Well.”
“If not, why did you find fault with Simpson Group?” He narrowed his dark eyes and stared at her.
Camille pressed her lips sightly and said, “Because I have to draw the design for the competition. You
are allowed to decide the theme and do not allow me to complain?”
“Do you think it’s difficult?”
“Of course. Or what?”
She replied later.
However, it was OK. She just couldn’t draw any inspiration.
Ayan looked at her quietly, with the curves on his lips growing more obvious and her voice showing a
trace of temptation. “Since you don’t want to think about the manuscript, you can think about what to
bribe me to let you enter the finals directly.”
