My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1168

Chapter 1168: Compromise

Their eyes met, and his kiss followed suit.

The next morning, Kian drove to Franklin Bay to pick up Ayan for work. Camille didn't join them; she planned to go out with Sienna later.

On the way, Kian drove, and Ayan sat in the back seat.

Suddenly, Ayan spoke, "Ask the person secretly protecting her where she went yesterday."

Ayan knew Camille very well, understanding all her actions and behaviors. So, when Camille asked about Armstrong Corp and Horace last night, Ayan had some suspicions.

His expression turned serious, and a clear coldness flickered in his eyes.

Kian was taken aback by his words, and after a brief pause, he turned to look at Ayan and whispered, "Mr. Simpson, is something wrong?"

"Find out first."

Kian nodded to show he understood.

He couldn't afford any delay. Once they arrived at the office, he immediately contacted the bodyguards secretly protecting Camille. After getting the answers, he returned to the office to inform Ayan.

Kian spoke cautiously because he didn't know what had happened. Considering the information from the bodyguards, he felt uneasy.

After Kian finished speaking, he lowered his gaze and asked Ayan softly, "Mr. Simpson, Mrs. Simpson spent nearly an hour with Preston. Nothing happened, right?"

Ayan squinted, and a cold smile appeared in his black-and-white eyes. He said indifferently, "Noted."

He didn't answer Kian's question because he also didn't know what had happened. As far as he could see, there was nothing wrong at the moment. The only thing was that Camille was hiding something from him when she met Preston. Of course, he didn't think Camille would do anything to harm him; he was only concerned that she was keeping something from him.

His eyes showed a touch of indifference, indicating how gloomy and unpleasant his mood was at the moment.

Kian dared not even breathe. However, staying silent at a time like this seemed inappropriate.

After careful consideration, Kian spoke softly, "Mr. Simpson, I've also retrieved the surveillance footage from the café where Mrs. Simpson met Preston. They were talking the entire time, but they were too far apart, and there were other people and music in the café, so I couldn't hear what they were saying. However, judging by their expressions, Preston didn't look pleased. Mrs. Simpson probably said something that didn't sit well with him."

Kian kept his eyes on Ayan throughout, not missing any changes in his facial expressions. He thought Ayan might ease up after hearing this information, but the coldness in his eyes deepened instead.

Ayan squinted, a faint smirk playing on his thin lips. He exuded a cold and indifferent aura, making the temperature in the car feel colder.

At that moment, the car pulled into the Simpson Group parking lot. Ayan urged Kian to arrange this matter as quickly as possible; he couldn't wait a second longer.

He wanted to make Preston receive this news immediately and darken his mood.

Kian's efficiency in handling matters was as fast as ever. He immediately contacted Jenson, instructing him to relay this information to Preston.

According to Jenson, when Preston received the call, his emotions were completely out of control.

He interrogated Jenson, "Why does cooperating on a project have to involve my position?"

Jenson calmly explained, "Mr. Walker, this decision was made by the museum's higher-ups. I'm just a partner. If I don't want to cooperate with you, I can state it immediately and find a replacement. However, since we've worked together before, I thought you might consider adjusting because, at the moment, your position affects the project. If you're in a company with higher visibility, even if it's a new one, there wouldn't be any issues. Unfortunately, Armstrong Corp lacks that bit of visibility now. So, I hope Mr. Walker can understand the situation, hm?"

Jenson provided a detailed explanation, but it was unclear whether Preston was really listening. The only thing certain was that he had stopped being agitated and had become silent and reserved.
