Chapter 1467 Passion


    Chapter 1467 Passion


    Camille frowned slightly, looking at Grace with a somber expression. Her voice was husky as she


    said, "They might be the ultimate revenge. If you still want to see Regina on that side, I''ll have Ayan


    arrange it. Don''t disclose anything about Vere to her. Let her think Vere is still in the hands of the


    kidnappers. Let her never find peace in her heart."


    Regina''s most important person is Vere, so let''s use Vere to punish her.


    Grace raised her hand to cover her face and took a deep breath before continuing, "I know, I won''t


    be soft-hearted."


    She couldn''t bring herself to be soft-hearted when she thought of her mother''s cause of death and


    her state.


    Grace would still go see Regina to inform her about the outside situation. Only this would make


    Regina suffer and torment while inside.


    The two of them stayed in the vi for almost an hour before leaving.


    The four of them got in separate cars. Camille and Ayan went back to Franklin Bay, and Grace and


    Horace went to Maple Leaves Mansion.


    Knowing Grace was feeling low, Horace had food delivered to the house so she could eat as soon


    as they got home.


    Horace kept a close eye on her, with concern and worry in his eyes. As they waited at the traffic


    lights, he reached out to hold her hand and spoke gently, "Why so quiet?"


    Grace managed a forced smile and said, "Don''t know what to say."


    "Say whatever you want. Don''t keep anything from me, okay?"


    "Okay, I know," Grace said, but ultimately, she didn''t say anything, also harboring something inside


    without knowing how to speak about it.


    She thought she needed to find an opportunity to talk to Ayan alone. But it wasn''t likely at the


    moment, as the matter of the Armstrong family had not been fully resolved, and her uncles called


    the next morning.


    Both uncles called to invite Grace and Camille to their house for dinner that night, as a way to


    strengthen family ties after Page''s passing.


    Grace didn''t directly agree, as Camille''s warning from yesterday made her more cautious.


    Grace said, "Uncle, just tell me what''s the matter. We just finished dealing with mom''s affairs, and


    neither Camille nor I feel like dining out."


    The uncle replied, "People need to eat, no matter the circumstances. Come over and let your aunt


    make you some soup. It''s settled."


    The uncle didn''t give Grace a chance to refuse and finalized the arrangement.


    Faced with this, Grace looked to Horace and said, "Since the uncle can make this call, it''s clear that


    if we don''t go, they won''t stop insisting."


    Horace said, "Ask Camille how she feels."


    She nodded and agreed to ask Camille.


    She then exined the situation to Camille, who happened to be with Ayan at the time, and


    naturally, Ayan overheard it. Ayan spoke up, "Since they''re inviting you both for dinner, just go."


    Knowing the uncles well, if they didn''t go today, there would be tomorrow, and they might even


    spread the word that they distanced themselves from their uncles since Page''s passing, tarnishing


    their public image.


    Ayan said, "Go openly, and I''ll have the journalists with good rtions to Simpson Group take


    photos of you going to dinner and post them online. Let everyone know you''re dining at your uncle''s


    house tonight."


    Both Camille and Grace had no objections.


    And so the dinner was set.


    After the call, Camille asked Ayan, "Why did you agree?"


    "We''ll have to go sooner orter. It''s better to go now orter, but going now won''t do you any harm.


    But afterward, who knows? They might nder you," Ayan said, fully aware of the processes and


    tactics, as they weren''t aiming for small gains but millions and shares of Armstrong Corp. With


    Armstrong Corp now operating more normally and having a promising future with projects in


    coboration with Simpson Group, how could these uncles not be tempted?


    Ayan told Camille, "Even though this dinner shouldn''t be unsafe, we should still be cautious. I''m


    worried they might act out of desperation. I''ve arranged for a bodyguard to apany you."


    "Can a bodyguard enter the house?"


    "Bring some gifts, and then let the bodyguard stand guard. If anything happens, he''ll go in first. Just


    remember, your safety is the most important in any situation."


    Camille nodded. "I understand."


    To legitimize the addition of the bodyguard, Camille also bought some fruits for the uncles, not


    wanting to spend too much money on these unimportant people.


    But the fruits weren''t cheap; they were all high-end fruits. The bodyguard carried the fruits inside


    with them and then left to wait outside.


    The big uncle lived in a vi, which was rtively spacious and well-decorated.


    On seeing both Grace and Camillee with gifts, the two uncles nced at each other and then


    politely said, "Come on,e on, what did you bring?"


    They spoke those words but were honest in their gestures.


    There was a cook at home, and the food was almost ready.


    The uncles urged Grace and Camille to sit and talk while they interacted with them. The cousin,


    who had been warned by Ayan, coldly snorted at the two and was obviously very displeased.


    Catching sight of this, the two aunties hastily made an excuse, "He''s just had a breakup, not in a


    good mood."


    Camille, of course, didn''t believe it, and Grace simply gave a indifferent nod.


    The two aunties looked at the uncles, eager to speak but holding back.


    The uncles, however, just said, "Let''s eat first. Dinner''s about to be served."

    After they were seated, the uncles were very warm toward the two, constantly offering dishes and


    urging them to eat.


    Camille didn''t eat much because her attitude remained as cold as ever. Grace, on the other hand,


    found it hard to resist her emotions and even started crying when the uncles spoke to them.


    "Your mother, my sister, died a pitiful death, a truly pitiful one!"


    "My sister never suffered since she was young, and after marrying your father, she didn''t even have


    good days. Your father is despicable to have done such a thing. It''s fortunate that her two daughters


    are obedient, especially Camille, who is already married into a good family like the Simpson family.


    From now on, we must stick together as a family and not be aughingstock. When your


    mother was alive, she doted on your cousin and nephew the most. From now on, you three are


    siblings."


    When the word "siblings" was mentioned, Camille''s eyebrows raised involuntarily.


    Interesting.
