Chapter 1426 Disgust
Fletcher sighed as usual. He said, "I understand what you''re saying, but there''s a feeling I can''t put
into words. Grandfather doesn''t know about this yet, and if he finds out, he''ll be devastated. The
bond between him and the old Armstrong was deep, and seeing the Armstrong family in such a
state would definitely hurt him."
"We can temporarily keep it from grandfather, but the media is constantly lurking, trying to get
firsthand information. It won''t be long before they find out," Ayan implied that he nned to
personally tell grandfather with Camille by his side and exin everything that has happened
recently in detail.
It would be better for them to confess to him themselves rather than someone else telling him.
Fletcher had no objections, just advised Ayan, "Talk to grandfather thoroughly, word by word."
"Yes, I know," Ayan nodded in agreement.
The two of them stayed with Timmy at the Simpson''s mansion for a while before leaving.
It was already past 9 o''clock at night when they left the Simpson''s mansion. Returning directly to
Franklin Bay at this hour would be after 10 o''clock. So Ayan briefly told Camille about his
conversation with Fletcher and nned to visit the old Simpson at the hospital in person the next
day.
Camille nodded in agreement but expressed some concern, "I suddenly feel a bit embarrassed
because he has been involved with someone else for a long time. It feels really disgusting,
especially considering that person is his own wife''s cousin whom they grew up together with."
In fact, Camille didn''t care about others, but she found it difficult to bring up this matter with the old
Simpson.
However, Ayan said, "Those whomit such acts should reflect on themselves. Why should those
who haven''t done anything wrong have any emotions? After all, it''s not us who did something
wrong, it''s him. If anyone should be embarrassed, it''s him."
Ayan always easily consoled Camille and effortlessly confronted her difort.
With his support, Camille''s emotions gradually settled.
Because she didn''t do anything wrong, she didn''t feel embarrassed at all. Even if people online
mocked the Armstrong family and ridiculed her, she would remain unaffected, as she did nothing
wrong.
Camille took a deep breath and looked ahead confidently, saying, "Yes, you''re right."
If she hadn''t done anything wrong, she should stand tall.
Perhaps because she no longer had any concerns, Camille felt a sense of relief throughout her
being.
The two of them returned to Franklin Bay. It was already quitete, so Camille took a shower and
washed her hair, followed by applying a face mask.
Ayan also showered in the guest room, then went to the study to take care of some work matters.

Camille used a beauty device to nourish her face, making it inconvenient for her to check her
phone. She left it on the vanity table andy on the sofa with her eyes closed to rx for a while.
After finishing her facial mask, washing her face, and applying skincare products, she picked up her
phone intending to lie down in bed. It was then that she noticed a missed call from an unknown
number.
It was the same number asst time. The reason she hadn''t blocked it was simply because she was
curious about what the other person wanted.
The first person she suspected was Preston, but after a series of unanswered calls, she hung up. It
didn''t seem like Preston''s style to hang up after a few rings. If it were Preston, he would have
connected the call directly. But this call didn''t seem to have any intention of being answered.
So Camille was puzzled. What did this person want?
Were they simply bored and seeking attention?
Camille decided to wait until this matter was resolved before asking Kian to look into it. She didn''t
want to trouble Kian or add to his workload right now.
Although it bothered her, she wanted to focus on other things after the issue was resolved.
Naturally, she continued to ignore, pay no attention, and not respond. She wouldn''t even bother
asking who the other person was.
Love whoever you want.
It was around eleven o''clock.
Camille was already lying down with Ayan when Grace''s call came in. It was meant for Ayan. Since
they were together, they could see the number and caller ID.
Seeing "Grace" disyed on Ayan''s phone screen, Camille instinctively asked, "Did you take my
phone by mistake?"
But Ayan had a unique phone, so there was no possibility of a mix-up.
Ayan answered directly, "Hello?"
Grace instinctively asked, "Mr. Simpson, are you at home?"
Ayan responded expressionlessly, "Yes, I am. What''s up? Are you looking for Cami?"
Camille was right there, and she was actually quite surprised why Grace would call Ayan directly.
Grace seemed taken aback too, then said, "Um... I''m not looking for Cami. I wanted to talk to Mr.
Simpson about Armstrong Corp. Are you avable tomorrow?"
Ayan replied, "Sure, you can reach me after eight o''clock tomorrow."
"Okay, then I won''t disturb you and Cami''s rest," Grace said softly. It was clear she had something
on her mind, but it was impossible to guess what it was.
Grace had already moved back to the Armstrong''s vi tonight because of her uncle. She wanted to
stay at the Armstrong family''s residence, where there were only servants and bodyguards, so she
had no one to talk to.
Camille realized this and quickly took Ayan''s phone, asking Grace, "Are you okay? Is something
wrong?"
After hearing Camille''s voice, Grace didn''t immediately respond. At that moment, she was sitting in
Brody Page''s room, and despite the spaciousness, she felt a wave of nostalgia rather than
difort.
She looked at the document-like object she was holding tightly in her hand, her face filled with
seriousness and unease. She spoke softly, "I''m fine. I just wanted to talk to Mr. Simpson about
something rted to Armstrong Corp."
"Are you sure everything''s okay?" Camille felt that something was off in her voice. So why would
she say everything was fine?
But since Grace didn''t want to talk about it, Camille couldn''t continue to ask. She simply said,
"Okay, as long as you''re fine. Let me know if anything happens."
"I know. It''s gettingte. You should rest early!" Grace quickly said.
Camille didn''t think much about it and ended the call with an "Mhm."
But as she stared at the disconnected phone, she was lost in thought. Ayan noticed and asked,
"What''s wrong? What are you thinking?"
She looked at Ayan and asked, "Have you noticed that Grace seems a little off? Does she have
something on her mind or is there something she can''t directly tell me?"
