Chapter 1328: Pathological


    Chapter 1328: Pathological


    So it''s probably impossible for Elijah to sacrifice himself and his son for Preston.


    As for Preston, he feelspletely safe now, but everything is under Ayan''s surveince. Ayan''s


    reason for not doing anything to him is simply to see what he''s up to. What are his motives? Otherwise,


    he wouldn''t have kept Preston around until now.


    When Ayan appeared at thepany after many days of absence, the employees who hadn''t seen


    him for a while were somewhat shocked. Especially with the news of Ayan being ill these days, the


    employees at Simpson Group started specting because they hadn''t seen Ayan for many days.


    Naturally, they linked him being sick to the rumors.


    But seeing Ayan with no sign of illness on his face, still as dignified and noble as ever, without any


    trace of pathology, how could such a person be sick?


    So this rumor was instantly dispelled internally.


    Ayan''s first order of business upon returning to thepany was to convene a meeting and provide a


    detailed report on all the recent developments.


    So his day was quite busy.


    Lunch was a quick meal ordered by Kian, eaten in the office during a break.


    While eating, Kian briefed him on work. Ayan suddenly asked, "What''s the situation with the Armstrong


    family?"


    Because Kian mentioned yesterday that Brody came to thepany looking for him but ended up


    waiting all morning. He also went to Franklin Bay to find Camille, and even had lunch with her. Ayan


    wanted to ask Brody in person what Preston''s real intentions were. At the same time, he wanted to


    inform Brody about Preston being treated like a pariah again, reminding him of what should and


    shouldn''t be done.


    When Kian made the call in front of Ayan, the person who answered wasn''t Brody but a household


    servant.


    Because Brody''s phone was off, they called the house phone.


    The servant said, "Sir and Madam are on a trip. They left yesterday afternoon and won''t be back for a


    few days."


    Kian was shocked, "They''re on a trip?"


    Kian found it hard to believe, but the servant''s response was clear. Kian put down the phone and told


    Ayan, "Mr. Simpson, Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong''s rtionship has been intense over the past six months.


    So going on a trip together seems a bit unscientific."


    Kian showed Ayan the videos that had gone viral and said, "Mrs. Armstrong knows about Mr.


    Armstrong''s affairs. She''s not divorcing him even though she''s causing a scene. Shouldn''t they gather


    evidence instead of going on a trip?"


    Ayan was also taken aback, his expression indifferent. He didn''t want to get too involved in the


    Armstrong family''s affairs. Instead, he had Kian ry the information to Horace, the future son-inw of


    the Armstrong family, to handle it.


    Since the Armstrong family wasn''t home, there was no need to probe further for now. After lunch, Ayan


    resumed his work.


    Camille didn''t get up until lunchtime. She arranged to have lunch with Sienna and then they went


    shopping for new clothes.


    After shopping, the two didn''t go home but went to a high-end café for afternoon tea.


    Since they started working together, they hadn''t been to such a upscale ce for tea. Every day, they


    would order takeaway coffee or have instant coffee at the office while discussing work and gossip as if


    it were tea time.


    So when Sienna and Camille entered the café, Sienna couldn''t help but say, "Honestly, I feel a bit out


    of ce here."


    Camille smiled, "Is it because it''s unfamiliar?"


    "Yeah, I''d probably feel morefortable buying a cup of milk tea by the roadside. Ah, a wild pig can''t


    appreciate fine grains." Sienna wouldn''t let herself off lightly, and Camille knew that.


    They found a cozy spot and ordered their food, speaking softly after the waiter left. "We might run into


    someone we know in a ce like this, so let''s keep a low profile. We don''t want to be photographed


    and end up as jokes in those social circles, seen as clueless country bumpkins who don''t even know


    how to drink coffee properly," remarked Camille.


    Sienna, taking a piece ofplimentary fruit, replied, "Let''s eat more and talk less."


    Before she could say anything else, a voice from the next stall could be heard clearly.


    "Alicia, have you really given up on that Ayan now?" asked a woman''s voice gently.


    And the response came, "Yes, I have. He''s too hard to chase. Pursuing him has cost me all my dignity

    and even my self-respect. Right now, I just want to focus onpleting this project and have no other


    thoughts."


    Camille and Sienna exchanged nces, and Sienna whispered, "Who is it?"


    Camille recognized the voice immediately. "Alicia."


    Sienna nodded and smiled, "Seems like there''s no soundproofing here."


    But it was a coincidence to overhear others'' conversations behind them. Read at NovelDrama.Org


    So, to keep things peaceful, Camille softly said to Sienna, "Let''s talkter."


    Sienna understood her well and nodded in agreement.


    Alicia agreed, "You''re right. I''m only focusing on work now."
