My Ex-husband Begs Me Back -
Chapter 242 Sprawl
The man on the phone affirmed. "Of course, he does. He's desperate toreplace out who's targeting him and who's doing this to the Simpson family.If he knew who was behind it, he wouldn't have any fear. But now weare in the dark, of course he has to be prepared.”
Eileen looked serious and said, "you know what to do. I only want theresult that he will break up with Camille and never sees her again. Idon't want to see them in love with each other. The thought of himfalling in love with Camille drives me crazy!"
"Eileen, calm down.”
"How do you expect me to calm down? I've waited so long with novisible result. If Camille doesn't separate with him, then I'm going tohave to go after her baby. I won't allow her to have his baby."
“That's enough, Eileen, we can talk about these things later. Now all wehave to do is to let Ayan do what we want him to do, and when we getwhat we want, you can do what you want!"
Eileen stopped speaking, and clearly disapproved of the man's words.She was not allowed to hurt Camille, but she only cared about Ayan.The others didn't matter. Sometimes she even thought that she couldpretend none of this happened as long as Ayan would marry her.
But would God help her?
Ayan came out of the hospital and got in the car. Then he calledCamille back.
But there was no one answering.
It was ringing.
It's the same thing when Camille just called him.
There was still no one answering.
His handsome face was warm and expressionless and his deep eyeswere cold and indifferent. Then he called the driver of Camille. "Whereis she?"
"Mrs. Armstrong is at work."
"Okay."
Ayan went straight to Camille's Company.
After the car was parked downstairs, Ayan took out his phone andchecked the search keyword. It had taken down the story of him andEileen at the horse ranch.
But Camille must have known.
He opened the door and got out of the car. Then he walked into thebuilding where Camille's company was located and took the elevator allthe way up.
Camille did not receive Ayan's call, not because she did not want toanswer, but because she did not hear it ringing.
After she talked with Sienna, Preston called her to discuss the project.The Armstrong family had approached them about the previous project.This time, Grace personally approached Preston to discuss the projectin the name of the company, due to Grace's relationship with Camille,Preston doesn't say agree immediately but talked to Camille instead.Preston explained, "Cami, if you don't think it's appropriate orconvenient, then I'll say no."
Camille pressed her lips slightly and didn't say no outright. Instead, sheasked, "is this a project you think you can do? Of course, first of all,don't take me into consideration. Just think about whether this projectwill make money for the company.”
"I think so."
“Then send someone to follow up on the case. I'm already busy enoughwith the competition and the project I'm working on. I'm not going to beinvolved in this cooperation for a while."
"OK." Preston nodded and asked uneasily, "Cami, you're not upset, areyou?"
"Of course not. Business is business. As for my personal matters, I willtake care of them.”
The Armstrong family and Grace were two projects that gave her aheadache at the moment.
The cooperation project of Armstrong Corp was not very big, but it wasthe only project that Armstrong Corp could carry out at present, and itwas also the only project that had not been affected after the accident.In the beginning, because Camille did not give up, this project did notstart, and the other side did not get affected. So that's why it hadn'tbeen stopped.
In this project, a partner of Armstrong Corp contracted a cluster of villasthat had just been built. Armstrong Corp was responsible for the designof the environment, etc. Their job was to turn the villas, which were stillrough, into fully renovated villas so that they could be sold for doublethe price.
While Camille's firm focused on architecture, it also included interiordesigns.
For now, it was Armstrong Corp's only option.
Preston immediately approached Grace, signing a contract thatincluded a 3 percent share of Armstrong Corp's turnover.
When the deal was finalized, Preston told Camille, “I'm in charge of thedeal. I'll make sure I won't bother you, but I'll never know if you canshow me the designs once they're ready."
Camille laughed.
"Good."
“I'l pay the tuition.”
“That's a little expensive.”
Camille said casually.
Preston looked at her and his eyes glistened deeply. "It doesn’t matteras long as you are happy,” he said.
Camille just looked up at him for a second, then didn't speak.
Looking into each other's eyes, Camille's lips were slightly pursed andher eyebrows were slightly twisted. She and Preston were trying tokeep their distance, but sometimes it didn’t work that way.
In particular, Preston looked too directly into her eyes which madeCamille feel uncomfortable.
The next moment, he said softly, "Cami, did you have a fight with him?""Oh? No, what makes you think that?"
She looked away naturally.
Preston talked in a deep voice, staring at her, "if it wasn't a fight, whywould he do intimate things like that with other women? He's married toyou so he should keep his distance. Even if he doesn't have feelings foryou, you're pregnant with his child. Isn't that too much?"
"Is it too much?"
Camille sneered and thought to herself. She didn't know if it was toomuch, but she knew that if anything happened to Eileen, he would bethere as soon as possible. He was only thinking of Eileen that hewouldn't even answer her phone.
As she thought about it, she became upset.
She lowered her head and obliviously didn't notice Preston's worryingface. "Thanks for speaking up for me, Preston," she said gently, "but Idon't want others to misunderstand us. Let's avoid talking about thesethings again.”
"Misunderstand? Cami, I'm not afraid of being misunderstood. I justcan't see you being wronged."
His emotions seemed to be stirring.
Camille just smiled gently. "I'm not aggrieved, and I don't feel wronged.""Really?"
“Really, I just don't want to talk about my personal matters, and some ofthese things are probably exaggerated by the media.”
She told him this, but did she really mean it?
In the middle of this conversation, a man's low and dull voice suddenlyarose. "Camille!"
Camille and Preston both looked back at the same time. Ayan wasstanding outside the office door. He had no intention of coming in butlooked at her. “I'm here to pick you up from work and take you to seegrandma.”
"Not yet. You can go back first. I've already visited Grandma."Camille's response was a little cold.
Her words made the man concerned, and he was getting angry all of asudden.
He stared at her, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly, "you're talking tome like that?"
