    Chapter 1049: Quarrel


    Ayan''s spection was indeed correct. Even though Preston had epted the money, he wasn''t


    feeling great about it. Especially with Kian''s words, he could already imagine the expression on Ayan''s


    face when he handed over the money.


    The more he thought about it, the more ufortable he felt. His expression grew increasingly


    gloomy.


    And then there was Camille. Why did she tell Ayan about this? Weren''t they getting divorced? Weren''t


    they supposed to stay away from Ayan? Why the sudden change of heart?


    Is it all a deception?


    Liars, all of them!


    Preston''s emotions became highly unstable, and this naturally upset the employees at the boba tea


    shop. One of the employees stepped out and politely said to Preston, "Sir, could you keep your voice


    down?"


    Preston had already suffered at Kian''s hands and wasn''t going to tolerate another employee acting


    freely toward him. He reacted instinctively and shouted, "Get lost! Who do you think you are? Do you


    think you can boss me around?"


    Preston''s voice was loud, and his face was extremely unpleasant. This brusque response left the


    employee too frightened to speak.


    Other employees who hade over were also silenced by Preston''s intimidating presence. He looked


    at them indifferently, his tone cold butposed as he said, "Stay away from me, or don''t me me for


    being impolite."


    With that, he picked up the bag on the table and headed toward the employee who had tried to stop


    him earlier. He struck the employee with force, and the employee had no chance to resist.


    Other employees murmured, "Isn''t this bullying?"


    However, they were all a bit scared of the man before them. The coldness in his eyes was too


    malevolent, making them reluctant to make any moves because they genuinely believed that they


    couldn''t afford to provoke this man.


    Preston left the boba tea shop without further incident. The employees breathed a sigh of relief. They


    quickly went to inquire about the condition of the employee who had been hit.


    Everyone despised Preston''s attitude and felt that he was too arrogant. At that moment, a man''s voice


    came from somewhere, "Don''t you have surveince cameras in your shop? His behavior has been


    recorded; it''s the inte age, so just upload it online!"


    The employees exchanged nces and immediately realized that it was a good idea. After all, bullies


    should face consequences.


    The man''s voice chimed in again, "But it''s better not to expose too much. Just screenshot his conflict


    with you, so it doesn''t affect others."


    The employees nodded in agreement, saying, "Sure, you can trust us. We won''t expose others. Even if


    we have to quit this job, this guy was just too despicable."


    They were filled with resentment, and the more they talked, the angrier they felt towards Preston.


    Several of them left their work to check the surveince footage on theputer.


    While they were busy with this, the man who had given the suggestion earlier left the boba tea shop.


    He was wearing a cap, concealing his true identity. No one had noticed him entering while all the


    attention was focused on the dispute between Kian and Preston.


    ...


    Yesterday evening, Brody and Page from the Armstrong family had a rough time at the Simpson family.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Whether it was the old Simpson, Fletcher, Talia, or even Ayan, their attitudes were very cold.


    Naturally, this left Brody and Page in a bad mood.


    Even though they left the Simpson family quitetest night, it didn''t prevent them from arguing from


    the moment they got into the car.


    There was only one topic of their argument. Page, as a woman and a mother, had failed to maintain a


    good rtionship with Camille. This had resulted in many things bing difficult to aplish.


    Brody sternly used Page without any regard for the driver who was present. Every word was an


    usation, and in the end, he shouted coldly, "If we can''tplete this task, it will be the end for both


    of us and the entire Armstrong family. You''ve been living afortable life in the Armstrong family for


    so many years; it''s time for you to give something back. No matter what method you use, you must


    convince Camille."


    Page clenched her fists tightly, her face frozen without any reaction or expression.


    Not getting a response only fueled Brody''s emotions further. He raised his hand and pushed Page


    aggressively, questioning her, "Can you hear me when I talk to you?"


    Page bit her lip, feeling extremely frustrated but unwilling to stay silent. She nodded gently, saying, "I


    heard you. I''ll go see her tomorrow, and I''ll do whatever it takes to make her marry into the Wesley


    family."


    "Do you really think she can marry into the Wesley family now? I''m afraid even the Wesley family


    wouldn''t want her. Haven''t you seen Ayan''s attitude? The entire Simpson family is protecting her. Is it


    really just blind protection without any ulterior motives?"


    Brody sneered and didn''t believe it.


    Page looked puzzled and asked, "So what should I do? How should I convince Camille?"


    "You just need to build a good rtionship with Camille. Remember, you''re mother and daughter, and


    there''s nosting grudge between a mother and daughter. Past unpleasantness should be reced


    with new happiness. You just need to show the right attitude, and Camille won''t ignore you," Brody said


    with a pointed look, emphasizing that she shouldn''t mess things up.


    Page could only nod gently, but she was already feeling reluctant. Convincing Camille was sure to


    involve her having to lower herself. However, if she didn''t, Brody would continue to apply pressure.


    What should she do?


    This problem troubled Page all night. Since the incident had urred, she and Brody had officially


    started sleeping in separate beds. She had hardly slept a wink, and she got up veryte the next


    morning. Brody had already left home.


    The housemaid said, "Mr. Armstrong left early this morning. He instructed usst night to prepare


    pastries for him, and he took them with him."


    The staff''s words made Page''s face turn even uglier, but she didn''t say anything. She quietly had lunch


    and then prepared herself before leaving.


    Page''s destination was clear. Since Brody had instructed herst night, she couldn''t afford to


    procrastinate. She had to find Camille as soon as possible.


    Upon reaching Camille''spany, she was familiar with the location since she had been there before.


    On her way there, she had even bought some cakes and coffee. She brought these items up to the


    office floor where Camille worked.


    Thepany''s employees, except for the recently hired design assistant, were all familiar faces, and


    they knew about Page''s poor attitude towards Camille. Consequently, they didn''t have a favorable


    impression of Page. Nevertheless, they greeted her politely.


    "Mrs. Armstrong, are you here to see Mr. Armstrong?"


    The receptionist asked gently.


    Page nodded with a soft smile and inquired, "Yes, indeed. I came to see her. She''s been very busy with


    worktely, right? Is she still busy now? Will my visit disturb her?"


    Page''s attitude left the receptionist momentarily stunned. After all, a few days ago, when she came


    here and had a big argument with Camille and Sienna, the scene was still fresh in everyone''s memory.
