My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1217

Chapter 1217: A Fluttering Heart

Otherwise, if Ayan takes action, not only will this project be lost, but Nores Group will also suffer significant damage in the future.

Mr. Nores told Alicia, "If you want to enjoy all the benefits provided by the Nores family, you must contribute to and make sacrifices for the Nores family. I'll give you a day to think about whether you want to apologize to Camille."

Naturally, Alicia refused, but Mr. Nores wasn't indulging her either.

At that moment, the secretary's phone rang, and although it was unclear what the other person said, Mr. Nores's expression immediately turned sour.

He clutched his chest, his eyes glazed over, and he remained in a daze for a long time, unable to regain his composure.

Mrs. Nores was alarmed by this sight and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Mr. Nores was in a terrible mood. Mrs. Nores helped him to the sofa, where he sat for quite a while. Alicia became concerned witnessing this scene.

Alicia looked at Mr. Nores and tentatively asked, "What happened?"

Alicia's inquiry received no response from Mr. Nores. He had a stern expression, tightly gripping his phone, and his facial expression grew even darker.

Mrs. Nores was extremely worried seeing her husband in such a state. She said, "What happened? Can you please say something? Don't scare me!"

With a stern face and narrowed eyes, Mr. Nores coldly looked at Alicia and indifferently said, "Do you even realize the extent of the damage your behavior caused to Nores Group tonight? Just because of an unattainable man, you've done something so foolish. Do you understand the consequences of your actions?"

Alicia didn't understand what he meant and asked, "Dad, what are you talking about?"

"Don't call me Dad." Mr. Nores, filled with anger like never before, said, "Let me tell you, Alicia, from now on, the Nores family will welcome you back only when you apologize. You can choose when to do it."

After Mr. Nores finished speaking, he immediately called the household staff to have Alicia escorted out.

The staff, of course, hesitated, but they had no choice but to follow Mr. Nores's orders, causing them great difficulty.

Alicia was left feeling bewildered by Mr. Nores's series of actions. However, Mr. Nores showed no intention of backing down, even when Mrs. Nores tried to reason with him.

In the end, the staff didn't escort Alicia out. She left on her own because Mr. Nores's attitude made her angry. He had never treated her like this before, and she felt a great sense of dissatisfaction.

After leaving the Nores family, Alicia received a call from her assistant and finally learned why Mr. Nores had been so angry just now.

In just over an hour, Nores Group had lost several crucial partnerships, the most important ones at present. They were vital to Nores Group's future development prospects, and losing them meant a major crisis for the company.

Alicia didn't know how to describe her current state of mind. She stood there for a long time without making a sound.

She clenched her fists tightly, her face stiff, and said word by word, "Camille, do you think you can defeat me like this?"

Alicia took a deep breath, and her expression grew even darker. But what should she do now? What can she do? These questions occupied her mind entirely. Upon reflection, she realized that everything stemmed from Ayan, and it was up to him to resolve it. As long as Ayan opened his mouth, all misunderstandings would be cleared up.

The next morning, Alicia went to Simpson Group. However, she couldn't see Ayan without an appointment, so she had to make one first. Meanwhile, she proactively contacted Kian. Whether it was the former or the latter, Ayan was aware of it.

If Rex knew that his cooperation was only worth a meal, he would probably wake up angrily if he were sleeping. If Rex knew that this meal was deliberately given as an opportunity for Alicia to see him, he would be infuriated.

Ayan walked out of the elevator, and Alicia, who had been waiting in the lobby for hours, instantly noticed him. She had been waiting for several hours, and now that she saw Ayan, she didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Today, she wasn't as flamboyant as yesterday. She wore flat shoes, pants, a T-shirt, and her long hair was let loose. Her makeup was also quite messy.

Perhaps it was because she hadn't slept well the whole night, her overall state wasn't very good.

She walked briskly towards Ayan and said, "Mr. Simpson, excuse me, I have something to say to you."

She looked at Ayan, and even though yesterday's incident had occurred, her heart still fluttered.

She gazed at Ayan, secretly hoping that he would show a hint of softness.

Ayan glanced at her indifferently, his eyes devoid of any ripples or emotions, and asked coldly, "What do you want to say?"

Alicia pursed her lips slightly. She was actually quite nervous, but since she had finally seen Ayan, she didn't want to miss this opportunity.

She looked at Ayan and said in a low voice, "Mr. Simpson, I'm very sorry about what happened last night. I hope you can give me a chance to make it up to you. How about this, Mr. Simpson? Let me treat you to a meal? Let's not hold grudges against each other, okay?"

Alicia smiled and looked at Ayan, her face filled with anticipation, waiting for his response.
