Chapter 1104: Resistance


    Chapter 1104: Resistance


    Camille and Ayan stayed behind to keep the old Simpsonpany at the hospital for lunch. The food


    was plentiful, but it didn''t suit the old Simpson''s taste. He preferred nd food with less oil and salt, so


    normal-tasting food had no vor to him. However, he had a weak pte due to his age, so he ate


    mild-tasting foods.


    After careful consideration, Ayan suggested to the old Simpson: "The facilities in this ward are very


    there will be one more person taking care of you."


    To cheer up the old Simpson, Ayan also prepared many flowers and nts on the balcony of their living


    room. To help pass time for him, he bought several types of watermelon seeds for him to nt as well -


    calling them "Cami and Timmy''s favorites."


    Of course, the old Simpson was delighted by this idea! That afternoon Camille and Ayan left him alone


    so that they could attend to their own affairs since he did not have much free time avable anymore;


    between nting melons and tending his garden.


    As time passed by in hospital life became easier for The Old Simpson as he adapted slowly but surely.


    This put Camille after sending Fletcher a message about how things were going they left together from


    his room.


    They walked hand-in-hand through hospital corridors until they reached an employee-only elevator


    leading down directly into an underground parking garage where Kian waited inside with their car


    ready.


    Once seated inside Kian''s car Camille still held onto Ayans hand while leaning her head against his


    shoulder asking quietly: "What did you talk about with Dr. Ellis? Is Grandpa doing okay?"


    Ayan tightened his grip on her hand while lowering his voice several degrees before responding: "Not


    really... otherwise my parents wouldn''t have suddenly changed ns bringing Grandpa back here from


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Hance City... living in rural areas has better air quality which is good for health especially when away


    from city smog or other stressful situations like work or family business matters rted to The


    Simpsons... it''ll be better off if we can keep all those issues out of sight & mind giving grandpa peace-


    of-mind which is important right now."


    Hearing Ayans words made Camilles heart sink because although she wasn''t rted by blood she felt


    close enough towards The Old Simpson who treated her kindly ever since firstying eyes upon her


    Camille''s rtionship with her grandfather was stronger than any blood rtive, and it was


    irreceable. She couldn''t bear to hear Ayan''s words about his condition. "Don''t worry," Camille said to


    Ayan. "Grandpa is a good person, and he has always been kind. God will surely protect him, especially


    since we are all here with him." Ayan smiled faintly in agreement.


    After dropping off Camille at work, Ayan returned to Simpson Group with Kian. On the way back, Kian


    mentioned a phone call he received earlier from Jenson regarding Preston''s attempt to gain information


    about the project through architects he had recruited.


    "He doesn''t just want to secure his position on the project," Ayan said knowingly. "He wants to secure


    his position at Armstrong Corp by getting rid of Horace once and for all."


    Kian questioned Preston''s logic in trying to push out an investor like Horace who had already put


    money into the project while working alongside Mr. Armstrong himself.


    "If the Armstrong family were truly that powerful," Ayan replied coolly, "they wouldn''t have treated their


    own daughter so poorly." He expressed disdain for Brody''s behavior towards those who helped him but


    ended up causing them trouble for his own benefit.


    Overall, tranting this manuscript requires attention not only tonguage but also cultural nuances


    that will resonate with American readers of urban romance novels specifically.


    Ayan had already made up his mind. If he really used Preston to deal with Horace this time, he would


    let everyone in the Hance City business district know what kind of person he was and that he couldn''t


    be trusted. Even if they were currently cooperating, when it came to personal interests rted to him,


    he wouldn''t hesitate to kick them out.


    He squinted his eyes, and his deep gaze was full of coldness.


    After a while, he spoke to Kian: "He''s currently cooperating with Preston. He should also know that


    someone like Preston is notpletely trustworthy. So he must have left himself a way out. You need


    to find out what that is and cut it off as soon as possible. Since he wants to scheme against others, let


    him taste what it''s like being schemed against."


    He felt that working with Preston was a very smart choice, so Ayan would use this opportunity to make


    him taste the bitterness of being schemed against.


    Kian nodded in agreement at all of Ayan''s words before saying: "Should I tell Jenson everything


    ording to Preston''s wishes? Let him be happy for now by following his ideas?"


    "Well, a person can only bepletelycent after reaching a certain level of sess,"


    Ayan replied sarcastically about Preston between the lines. After all, normal people couldn''t fall down


    and get back up again in the same ce several times over; but upon closer inspection, Preston had


    already fallen quite a few times before getting back up again- just like an indestructible cockroach.


    The more Ayan thought about it, the deeper the mocking smile on his lips became. After returningto


    Simpson Group, his busy afternoon began.


    As for Camille, she arrived at thepany just as Sienna was chatting with her assistant designer. The


    assistant mentioned one name-Crystal. Camille walked into Sienna''s office and heard those two words.


    She too froze slightly, because she felt like she knew this name. She had heard it before, and even


    knew who this person was!


    She frowned at Sienna who seemed focused on their conversation, and asked:"What are you guys


    talking about?"


    Sienna finally snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Camille speak, and waved towards


    her."You''re here!" She patted the seat next beside her desk,"We''re just chatting. Crystal, you


    remember, right? She seems like she has also signed up for this designpetition!"


    Under Sienna''s guidance, Camille asked who Crystal was. However, she was surprised to hear that


    Crystal had also entered the designerpetition. After all, one needed a designer qualification and


    already published works with some achievements to participate in such apetition. Despite Crystal''s


    excellent skills and talent, she did not meet the requirements for participation.


    Camille looked at her male assistant and asked: "Did Crystal enter as well?"


    The male assistant nodded lightly and said: "Yeah, my roommate told mest night when he went back


    to school. He is in the same ss as her so I don''t think it''s fake news."


    Camille nodded in response but couldn''t help wondering why they had fought for this assistant position


    if Crystal could participate in the designpetition anyway.


    However, Sienna mentioned that since Crystal had good background and ability, it wasn''t surprising


    that she could enter such a prestigious design contest.


    Camille casually asked: "Did they change the rules of the contest?"


    After her assistant left to get some materials from Yessica, Camille spoke privately with Sienna for a


    few more minutes.
