Chapter 1440 Control
The old Simpson did not answer, only maintained silence.
After a brief moment of silence from the old Simpson, Fletcher''s gaze was fixed on him, wanting to
know what the old Simpson was thinking.
The old Simpson had always held the Armstrong family in high regard, so his attention to the
Armstrong family''s affairs did not strike Fletcher as strange or unexpected. However, the old
Simpson''s reactions at this moment seemed peculiar to him.
Lost in spection, Fletcher heard the old Simpson''s voice.
"Can I go to the police station to see him?" the old Simpson asked.
Fletcher was taken aback, his expression somewhat subdued. He said, "Do you want to go to the
police station?"
"Yes."
"Dad, the current situation is quite sensitive, and everyone is focused on this matter. It might be
inappropriate for us to go from the hospital to the police station to see him."
"So, let you arrange it." The old Simpson insisted, with almost no room for negotiation.
Fletcher asked, "Should I inform Ayan on that side?"
"No need, just you and I need to know."
Fletcher smiled faintly, "Dad, are you underestimating Ayan? If he can take control of this matter,
then certainly the police have also discussed it."
As Ayan''s way of handling things, Fletcher, as his father, naturally understood. Ayan now yed a
significant role in handling Simpson Group so well, indicating that he had some means.
As a father, he understood Ayan and knew that Ayan would not act unprepared; all preparations
would be thorough.
However, the old Simpson had a different opinion. "Doesn''t your face hold the same weight as his in
the eyes of the police? You are his father, and there are some things that you need to handle behind
the scenes. Sometimes, when the involved party is lost or emotionallypromised and unable to
handle things calmly, you need to step in."
The old Simpson believed that even though Ayan now controlled Simpson Group well, and even
though Fletcher''s namebined might not be as powerful as Ayan alone, sometimes, some
people might not give them face, but they should give Ayan face.
This circle was such that if Simpson Group failed, Fletcher and the old Simpson would naturally be
ignored by those who valued fame and fortune, while those who genuinely admired the old Simpson
would continue to respect them.
However, if Ayan stood strong, and both of them retreated from Simpson Group, then the people in
this circle would want to show their respect to Ayan, regardless of their personal feelings for the old
Simpson.
Therefore, Fletcher''s concerns were not unfounded, yet the old Simpson''s ideas were more direct.
Even if they had stepped back and Simpson Group now followed Ayan''smands, because they
are still at the pinnacle of the group, the outside world would naturally not dare to be negligent
towards them.
The old Simpson insisted on seeing Brody, so Fletcher could only follow the old Simpson''s
instructions to arrange it.
After about ten minutes, a call came from the police station confirming the meeting time.
The meeting was set for the next morning at nine-thirty.
After finalizing the meeting time, Fletcher asked the old Simpson, "Should we inform Ayan about the
meeting?"
"No need, if he needs to know, why would I have you arrange it behind his back? Let him handle it
directly."
Not wanting Ayan to know, as Ayan finding out would most likely lead to Camille knowing as well.
Fletcher nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Fletcher was the old Simpson''s secretary, fully obeying the old Simpson''s arrangements.
However, Fletcher was also curious about the old Simpson''s intention to meet Brody. With a probing
look, he asked, "Is there something specific you want to discuss with him?"
At this crucial juncture, meeting seemed inappropriate, but the old Simpson''s insistence suggested
he had already prepared to have a final meeting.
There must be something important. Otherwise, the old Simpson would not go out of his way to
meet Brody at this time.
Fletcher was curious about what could be so important to warrant the old Simpson''s attention.
Despite his curiosity, the old Simpson nced at him lightly, indicating he had no intention of
sharing. He simply said, "It''s nothing major, no need to worry."
The old Simpson''s evasion only heightened Fletcher''s curiosity. Given the old Simpson''s heavy
thoughts, Fletcher became convinced that the old Simpson was hiding something, and it was
significant.
The fact that the old Simpson wanted to meet Brody meant it involved both the Armstrong and
Simpson families, with only one person fitting the bill.
In Fletcher''s dark eyes flickered a hint of indifference. If it was rted to Camille, what exactly was
it?
These questions sparked numerous thoughts in Fletcher''s mind.
His silence caught the old Simpson''s attention, who stated, "Apart from this room, no one else must
know about this matter, understood?"
The old Simpson''s seriousness was evident, and Fletcher quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, I
understand."
Satisfied, the old Simpson continued.

Fletcher would keep the secret, but his curiosity only grew, and he couldn''t help but dwell on the
matter.
After apanying the old Simpson, Fletcher returned to the Simpson family.
His preupied state did not escape Talia''s notice. That evening, after ying with Timmy and
returning to their room, Talia asked, "What''s wrong? Is something bothering you?"
Although Fletcher and Talia had been married for many years and had a strong rtionship, they
still spoke openly to each other, frequently sharing thoughts and feelings.
Talia''s focus on Timmy had reduced her own personal time, resulting in Fletcher spending more
time with her to alleviate any sense of loneliness or istion in managing the family.
As Fletcher applied a face mask for Talia, his voice was low as he said, "I spoke to Dad today, and
his reaction to the Armstrong family''s situation seems significant. He wants to go to the police
station tomorrow morning to take a look."
"Perhaps it''s because of the old Armstrong''s association. You know how well Dad gets along with
him, so there shouldn''t be a problem visiting Camille''s father."
"I hope so," responded Fletcher solemnly.
Talia sensed an underlying meaning in his words. She asked softly, "What are you trying to say?"
