My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1228

Chapter 1228: A Thorny Situation

She couldn't use her credit card, nor could she afford all her preferences. But all of this had to be resolved with Camille. Only Camille could convince Ayan to lift the punishments on the Nores Group.

She pressed her lips tightly, her expression becoming even more unpleasant. But she really didn't want to approach Camille, nor did she want to bow down to her.

But what could she do?

She looked at her friend and voiced her inner thoughts, saying, "I don't want to apologize. I don't want to bow down to Camille. If I do that, I'll lose all my face and dignity."

"Alicia, it's already come to this. Do you still think face and dignity are valuable? Don't you know what happened at the restaurant today? Those people are waiting to see you become a laughingstock. If something big happens to the Nores family, they will only step on you even harder. You know the rules of this circle. Do you still want to prioritize your own face?"

Her friend was a true friend, speaking from the heart with every word she said to Alicia.

She gazed at Alicia and saw her unwillingness. She said, "I know you don't want to, but you need to weigh the pros and cons. On one side is the Nores family, on the other is an apology. Choose one for yourself!"

Her friend had spoken to this extent. Now it depended on whether Alicia could understand it on her own. If Alicia couldn't figure it out herself, no amount of persuasion from others would be useful.

As for what Alicia would ultimately decide, only she would know in her heart.

Mr. Nores had frozen all her cards, restricted her spending, and even repossessed the properties under her name. So she had nowhere to go temporarily and could only stay at her friend's house.

But how long could she continue like this?

This was also a question Mr. Nores wanted to know. Although Alicia was his daughter, a father's understanding of his daughter was not thorough enough. It was difficult for him to guess even her most basic thoughts and intentions.

Mr. Nores could only look at Mario again and ask, "Miss King, when do you think my daughter will finally compromise?"

"It depends on whether the pressure you exert on her is strong enough."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I don't mean anything by it. I just want to tell you that only when the pressure is strong enough will she understand how heavy the burden on your shoulders is. Only after experiencing it firsthand will she understand your difficulties."

Mario was also aware of Alicia's arrogance and immaturity. Such a personality was a significant mistake for a business. It would only bring endless trouble to the company and make the problems bigger and bigger.

Being arrogant requires having enough skills and confidence. If the skills and confidence are not sufficient, one should not act recklessly. Otherwise, they will only fall into a pit and struggle to climb out.

Mario's words struck a chord with Mr. Nores. The more Mr. Nores thought about it, the more he realized that this matter was much more serious than he had imagined.

Mr. Nores looked at Mario and said, "Miss King, I apologize for the trouble I've caused you this time. I'm pressuring my daughter to apologize, but would you consider speaking on my behalf to Mrs. Simpson?"

"Don't worry, I will talk to Cami on the phone. However, this matter has indeed caused her grievances, and it's understandable that Mr. Simpson wants to support her. So you need to be especially careful on your side, alright?"

"That's good." Mrs. King breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't understand the company matters, as long as it had nothing to do with Mario.

Mrs. King looked at Mario and asked, "Did you call me here for something?"

"Have you been in touch with Sienna recently?" Mario asked calmly, his gaze turning cold, and his eyes carried an emotion that made Mrs. King unable to evade.

Mrs. King pursed her lips and softly replied, "Hmm, no contact, because you didn't say to contact her either."

"Isn't Sienna the daughter you raised? When we were in Flento City, didn't you say she was considerate? Why did such a significant change happen later? Do you think by distancing yourself from her, you've completely cut off any connection between me and her?"

Mario's every word was a direct questioning, and his handsome face was expressionless to the extreme.

His words made Mrs. King's face stiffen, and she seemed unprepared for Mario's directness. She opened her mouth several times but ultimately didn't utter a sound.

Mario stared at Mrs. King and said, "I already told you the purpose of coming to Hance City this time was for you to maintain a relationship with Sienna. No matter what you think, you must understand that I will bring Sienna back."

"But she's already married, Mario. With your current excellence, you can have any kind of woman you want. Why waste time on Sienna? Even if you do bring her back, what help can she provide for your career?"

"I don't need any help, and neither does the King family. The King family now has no one in Flento City who can easily challenge us. If I were to rely on a woman to secure the position of King Group and my own, it wouldn't last." Mario directly rejected Mrs. King's words, his face filled with indifference as he looked at her.
