Chapter 1077: Wait A Moment
Chapter 1077: Wait a Moment
Ayan found himself in a deeply emotional state due to the situation with Camille. Sophia was aware of
the matter and suggested that Ayan deal with Camille''s situation first. If it became tooplicated, he
could head back to Hance City.
Ayan didn''t agree. Since he hade here, he knew he had to resolve the work-rted issues before
leaving; otherwise, this trip would be in vain.
Camille, on the other hand, had also received the news. Although she had seen simr videos before,
she never expected the situation to escte to this level. She couldn''t help butugh, ncing at
Sienna.
"Does she want me dead to stop, huh?" Camille asked, her question was apanied by a smile.
However, her eyes glistened with tears. Page''s actions had truly exceeded her expectations. She
hadn''t anticipated that Page would go to such extremes. Now, Page seemed to be not just crazy but
perhaps even delusional.
Sienna quickly reassured her, "Don''t say that. Whatever she wants to do is her personal choice. If she
had the capability, would she act like a clown to seek attention?"
Sienna let out a disdainful huff and walked over to Camille,forting her in a low voice, "Don''t
overthink it, don''t carry this burden. This isn''t your fault, and it''s not real. You need to believe in
yourself. Only when you have faith in yourself can you ovee the public opinion. You understand?"
Camille bit her lip and had a somber expression on her face. Her emotions weren''t great, and her
demeanor reflected her mncholy. After taking a deep breath and adjusting her mood, she continued,
"I believe in myself, and I know I''m not that kind of person. But the way she''s pushing me... I can''t help
but feel like we might not share a genuine mother-daughter rtionship."
Camille had entertained this thought before, but now she was more convinced than ever. Perhaps
Page''s disapproval of her was because she wasn''t her biological daughter. Since Brody had already
betrayed her, their marital rtionship had been unfaithful. She wondered if she might be Brody''s child
with someone else, leading to Page''s longstanding dislike of her.
Although Brody hadn''t treated her that well either, had he?
Camille''s thoughts grew increasingly chaotic, and she felt like her mind was wandering. She helplessly
smiled and said, "What kind of person is she, after all? What is she thinking? What''s the benefit of
doing this?"
Camille couldn''t find answers that satisfied her, and her mind was in turmoil. She was making an effort
to control her emotions, but she was still somewhat agitated. Sienna had already sent everyone else
away to work on different tasks, leaving only the two of them.
Sienna advised her, "If they treat you like they''re not your real parents, then just consider them as not
your real parents. After all, their actions are worse than those of strangers. She likes to put on a show;
let her do it. We don''t need to pay attention."
Camille nodded lightly and said, "I know, I don''t need to pay attention. It''s just that seeing all this stuff
annoys me."
Camille let out a deep sigh just as Sienna was about to speak. At that moment, her phone rang.
ncing at the caller ID, it was Ayan calling.
Sienna also noticed and said, "You can take the call; I''ll step out for a drink of water. We''ll finish work
early, and I''ll take you out for some good food. I recently found a hidden gem for delicious food."
Camille nodded with pursed lips, and Sienna left the meeting room.
Camille pressed the answer button, and Ayan''s voice came through immediately. He asked in his
gentle tone, "What are you up to?"
Camille responded with a voice so light that it seemed she was unaware of the current situation, though
how could Ayan not know about the online situation?
Puckering her lips, she replied, "I''m in a meeting."
Ayan uttered an agreeing sound, then casually asked, "Do you miss me?"
"Not much."
"Really?"
"Really."
Ayan let out a light hum and teased, "You heartless little thing. It always feels like I''m the one missing
you more. Have you finally got me wrapped around your finger? If those boring inte friends saw our
dynamic, wouldn''t they be surprised and think they''re blind?"
Ayan spoke casually and with humor. Listening to his tone, Camille couldn''t help butugh. She then
continued in a light tone, "Who knows? They probably think I have a heart of stone. I didn''t even visit
my own mother in the hospital. And I even harmed my own mother for the sake of my ex-husband''s
family. People like me must have been dumped by you, right?"
She self-deprecatinglyughed, causing Ayan''s expression to freeze for a moment. Although his eyes
disyed concern, she couldn''t see it.
His voice, however, remained unchanged, as he said, "So, they''re just blind. They have no idea about
the truth of the situation. These people need to learn that speaking without understanding the facts has
consequences. I feel that thest apology was too lenient. We should have just locked them up."
"The police station probably can''t amodate so many people, can it? Besides, imprisoning them
would only give them what they want, and we''d have to bear the cost of their food and lodging. It''s not
cost-effective, and it''s giving them too much importance, isn''t it?"
"Yeah, you''re right. So don''t take their words to heart. Don''t let their baseless rumors affect your
emotions. People who care about you know who you are, and that''s all that matters. As for those who
don''t care about you, why bother caring about them?"
After receiving a double dose of advice from Ayan and Sienna, Camille hadpletely rified her
thoughts and gained a clear perspective.
She pursed her lips and spoke with a cheerful tone, "Yes, yes, you''re right. I don''t care about them, and
it''s not worth my attention."
Ayan rxed a little when he heard her speak this way. He hated seeing Camille upset.
Then, he said to Camille, "Do you want toe to Dane City to keep mepany?"
Camille frowned slightly and replied, "Do you want me to go on vacation with you in Dane City?"
"If you''d like, I can."
"Aren''t you busy?" After all, during the trip to Dane City, he had been constantly upied, and it felt
like he had no time for a vacation. He seemed extremely busy and preupied.
Ayan said, "If you want a vacation, I can make time for it."
Camille responded, "No thanks. I don''t have much to do, and I''m in good spirits. At least now, I don''t
feel ufortable anymore. I''m living my life as ites, and I''m taking things as theye. I don''t

want to force anything, and I''m okay with that."
Camille took a deep breath and said to Ayan, "But there''s one thing you need to rify with me. It''s not
that you don''t want me."
"Alright, I''ll rify it for you. It''s you who doesn''t want me. Is that better?" Ayan''s tone carried a hint of
reluctance.
Camille couldn''t help butugh upon hearing this and replied, "I didn''t think that way. I just want you to
tell them that neither of us rejects the other. It''s all just a bit of fun."
Ayan, hearing this, seemed to let go of any remaining displeasure. Without ending the call with Camille,
he told her, "Wait for a couple of minutes."
Camille then heard him saying a few things to Kian on the other end, but his voice was too soft for her
to make out clearly.
In less than two minutes, Ayan spoke to Camille, "Check Twitter!"
Camille knew that he had just posted an official statement on theirpany''s Twitter ount.
She opened the Simpson Group''s official Twitter page, and it seemed like they had boosted the post.
Even though it had only been posted for a short while, there were already numerous replies and
retweets from popr bloggers.
The message was centered around Ayan''s statement that neither he nor Camille rejected the other.
Even if someone were to reject the other, it would be Camille rejecting him, but he would never not
want Camille.
