    Chapter 1197: Exploitation


    He edited this matter into a very detailed story, with the general idea being that a married man, despite


    having a wife and child, shamelessly yed with his wife deliberately to get a divorce. However, he


    didn''t give up on his wife after the divorce; instead, he wanted to have multiple women at the same


    time.


    He was pretending to reconcile with his wife while pursuing a woman he had a scandal with in the past.


    He even had a rtionship with this woman, all without his ex-wife''s knowledge. He did all this to avoid


    condemnation and intentionally hurt both women.


    This series of actions immediately reignited the previously dwindling interest.


    It quickly made its way to the hot search rankings because there had been simr incidents before, so


    naturally,izens suspected Ayan first. They were discussing who Ayan''s scandal partner could be


    while also questioning whether Camille was intentionally covering up for Ayan because of her


    infatuation.


    Some people even believed that Camille was doing it for money, allowing Ayan to behave recklessly.


    Within half an hour, this news had skyrocketed to the top of the trending list. Simpson Group remained


    silent, and everything continued as usual. Although the employees were curious, those who worked at


    Simpson Group knew that gossiping was strictly prohibited. Even if they were exceptionally capable,


    they would not be hired if they engaged in gossip. So everyone continued to work, suppressing their


    inner curiosity while pretending to be calm.


    Kian also hadn''te to thepany all morning. The public rtions department and the secretary''s


    office had contacted Kian, but he responded on the phone that he didn''t need to be bothered and to


    focus on work.


    Ayan also hadn''t shown up, so the people at Simpson Group were worried if the incident was true.


    As the person at the center of the incident, Ayan naturally didn''t miss the opportunity to enjoy the show.


    After all, as soon as the news came out, Kian had informed him. Soon after, Sienna rushed over from


    next door just to see if Ayan was home.


    Sienna had a look on her face as if she had a hidden knife in her pocket. If Ayan wasn''t at home, she


    would surely drag Camille along to confront him.


    Seeing Ayan in his casual home attire, Sienna paused for a moment and asked, "Why didn''t you go to


    thepany? Where''s Cami?"


    Ayan replied, "Taking a day off, is there a problem, Mrs. Ward?"


    Sienna cleared her throat and casually said, "Of course, there''s no problem. I was just asking. I''m


    going to find Cami."


    Ayan looked at her; after all, he had received the message, so he guessed the reason why she was


    looking for Camille.


    He calmly stared at Sienna for a moment and then casually said, "Did you see the trending topic?"


    Sienna was also taken aback by his straightforward question. She hadn''t figured out how to approach


    the topic, but since he had asked, she didn''t hesitate to respond, "So, what''s the truth behind this, Mr.


    Simpson? Can you tell me the truth?"


    "I was at homest night, keeping herpany," he said calmly.


    Sienna nodded and continued, "The photo might not be fromst night, or it could be from before,


    right?"


    "I don''t have the habit of spending the night outside casually," Ayan added.


    Sienna asked again, "Alright then, I understand your point. Does Cami know about this?"


    "She''s having breakfast. Why don''t you go and see!" Ayan suggested.


    Having stayed uptest night, Camille woke upter in the morning, so breakfast was also a bitte.


    Camille heard Sienna''s voice and walked out of the dining room. Seeing Sienna and Ayan talking, she


    didn''t interrupt and waited until they finished before gently waving her hand and asking, "What are you


    two talking about?"


    Sienna instinctively looked at Ayan, seemingly asking him if she should tell the truth.


    The next moment, Ayan spoke up, "The online rumors, the photo you helped me take this morning."


    Indeed, the photo was taken by Camille earlier that morning.


    When Ayan proposed the idea, Camille was momentarily stunned and then asked, "Is it necessary to


    take a photo?"


    Ayan replied, "Preston won''t believe it without a photo."


    That''s why this photo came into existence. However, Camille didn''t expect Preston to make use of it so


    quickly.


    Camille nced at Ayan, who showed no change in expression, before she began exining the


    general outline of the whole incident to Sienna. After listening, Sienna raised her hand and said, "Well


    done, girl. It was about time. Preston is someone who needs to be dealt with, constantly hopping


    around like a flea. It''s really annoying." Sienna''s face was full of disgust, which made Camille unable to


    suppress a smile.


    While the three of them were chatting, Camille''s phone rang. Naturally, it was Preston calling. After all,


    Ayan had already prepared her for it, so there was no cause for concern from the Simpson family''s


    side.


    Camille frowned slightly as she looked at the caller ID. Before sending the photo, Ayan had already told


    her to be mentally prepared, but when the call actually came, Camille couldn''t describe the emotions


    she felt. She truly felt that Preston wasn''t the Preston she knew anymore. She didn''t know what had


    happened to make him resort to such means to achieve his goals.


    Camille sighed silently, and Sienna, sensing her sigh, couldn''t help but speak up, "Cami, this is his


    personal behavior and has nothing to do with anyone else. If there''s something he''s unhappy about or


    can''t let go of, he should just say it directly. But instead, he resorts to these despicable methods. That''s


    his personal issue and has nothing to do with any of us."


    Camille understood Sienna''sforting words and smiled in response, "I didn''t think too much about it,


    nor do I feel guilty, because I didn''t make him be this way. I''m just a bit incredulous, that''s all."


    At the same time, she couldn''t help but wonder if their years of friendship were nothing more than his


    exploitation. But Camille realized that she didn''t have anything he could exploit. It was just a passing


    thought, and her helplessness grew in her heart.


    The situation online was still fermenting. Camille asked Ayan, "When do you n to respond?"

    "No rush. Didn''t he mention someone specifically? We''ll wait until he does!" Ayan responded


    indifferently. After all, without specific names, it seemed that there wouldn''t be much effect. Only when


    he named someone would the owner of that ount face the consequences.


    As for Preston, he dared to do this because he must have already nned his retreat. Ayan was well


    aware that this incident wouldn''t really harm him.


    Having experienced such a distressing event, even though the closest people knew the truth, it would


    still have a significant impact on their reputation. Despite Simpson Group''s strong public rtions


    capabilities, they would still be somewhat affected. Naturally, everyone''s mood was not as light and


    pleasant as before.
