Chapter 1033: Live Streaming

Page was taken aback by Brody's expression; Brody's demeanor had

an eerie effect on her, making her feel a shiver down her spine and a

faint sense of dread.

She pursed her lips and spoke softly, "Won't this approach be more

harm than good? What if Ayan manages the trouble well and later

comes back to trouble us? Armstrong Corp has already suffered once;

we can't afford another catastrophe. So..."

“I have my plan. We have to do it this way for now. If we don't make this

a big deal, do you think Armstrong Corp will remain unscathed? Our

collaboration with Armstrong Corp has been forced to terminate. Then

we could only choose to declare bankruptcy. Those companies who

canceled contracts with us may reconsider, taking into account public

pressure. This is my way to get Horace completely out of the company.

If we don't, he'll always be a threat," Brody sternly interrupted Page,

showing no approval for any of Page's thoughts. To him, his decisions

were the most vital and correct.

Brody's loud reprimand immediately silenced Page, who didn't dare

utter another word.

In company matters, she had no say. She could only ponder silently,

and if things ever took a turn for the worse, who would Brody find to

shoulder the blame?

Once this thought lodged itself in Page's mind, it was unstoppable. Her

expression grew increasingly grave, and she didn't hear a word Brody

said, until he impatiently exclaimed, "Did you even hear what I said?"

Page then snapped back to reality and looked at Brody. Brody's eyes

were filled with anger and irritation, and she asked softly, "What did you

say?"

Brody snorted, "I've been busy working for the Armstrong family, and

you're sitting idle. Let me remind you, while I deal with this, you should

find a way to get Grace back. Without her assistance, Ayan's methods

are well-known to both of us. So, find her sooner rather than later.”

Page nodded silently, agreeing to Brody's request.

The two remained silent as they reached the hospital. Page's earlier

remarks had already appeared online.

This incident was gaining immense attention, not just on forums and

Twitter, but also on television.

Camille had already come to terms with the situation, but upon seeing

Page being bombarded with questions by reporters, she grew agitated

again.

Clearly, the Armstrong family was doing this to cut off any response

from Ayan. After all, Brody had indeed been significantly affected by

Armstrong Corp's actions before, causing him to be hospitalized for an

extended period. Even though he recovered, his health was never the

same as before, which led him to stay away from company matters and

public appearances for a long time.

Now, with his health deteriorating again due to this incident, it was

undeniably an attempt to convey that it was all because of Ayan, and

Ayan had brought them to this point.

No matter how talented Ayan was, facing the pressure of public

opinion, he still had to pay a significant price.

Camille watched Page's interview repeatedly. She couldn't control her

emotions and, in frustration, tossed her phone onto the coffee table.

She pointed at the continuing interview on her phone and couldn't help

but exclaim, "Why are they slinging mud like this?"

Sienna couldn't find the right words to comfort Camille. So much had

happened in just one morning, leaving her speechless.

If Sienna didn't know the exact relationship between Ayan and Camille,

she would have suspected that Camille might have been blackmailed

by Ayan.

Sienna pressed the pause button on her device and turned to Camille,

asking, "Would you like to go check on Ayan?"

Camille remained silent for a moment and then shook her head. "Going

over now would only make him busier."

She thought that if she went to see Ayan in her current state of mind,

he'd have to spare time to console her. She didn't want to burden him

or add to his stress.

Camille bit her lip and spoke softly, "What can I do to expose their lies

and prevent them from spreading false information? I can't just let them

run rampant like this."

She was genuinely worried, but the more she fretted, the more her

mind drew a blank. She could only look to Sienna and place her hopes

in her friend.

Camille said, "Is the Armstrong family trying to retaliate against Ayan?

Do they want to push him into a corner?"

"Don't worry. I'll ask Rex. Maybe he'll have a more comprehensive view

than us,” Sienna reassured her.

"Okay."

After Camille nodded, Sienna quickly contacted Rex. He provided a

sensible response, explaining the probable motives behind the

Armstrong family’s actions. To shatter the Armstrong family's objectives,

Camille would have to clarify matters herself. However, this clarification

would require complete honesty, including her divorce from Ayan, as

only sincere transparency could garner the public's forgiveness.

But how could she be truly sincere?

Camille bit her lip, her expression growing more serious. She appeared

increasingly flustered, her mind blank as she struggled to come up with

a plan. She maintained this posture for a while until Sienna spoke

softly, "Cami, don't rush. This situation can't be resolved hastily. Let's

think it over, okay?"

Camille gazed at Sienna, her eyes slightly narrowed, as she slowly

uttered, "We can't afford to wait any longer. If we continue to delay, who

knows what else the Armstrong family has in store for us?"

Taking a deep breath, Camille had a sudden idea. Rex had mentioned

that her honesty was crucial to dispel the notion that Ayan controlled

her. So, what if she just revealed her current state for everyone to see?

Camille immediately shared this idea with Sienna. Sienna appeared

puzzled and asked, "Reveal your current appearance?"

"Yes."

"How would you do that? Film a video?"

"Of course not. Videos can be manipulated or staged.”

"So, how do you plan to do it?" Sienna inquired.

Camille replied, “A live stream. Only through a live stream can

everyone see my current condition.”

Camille didn't waste any time. She had Yessica fetch a phone and took

a seat at her desk. She adjusted her hair and clothing, gazing outside

at the surrounding buildings through the full-length window. This view

would prove that she was not at Simpson Group, and no one

associated with Ayan was pressuring or controlling her.

Once everything was in place, Camille told Sienna, "You can sit on the

couch over there during the stream. It will seem less contrived with both

of us here.”

"Alright, I'm fine with that.”

Camille nodded, then expressed gratitude to Sienna. She inhaled

deeply and opened a live streaming platform, starting the broadcast on

a new account with no existing viewers. Yessica had boosted the

stream'’s visibility with paid promotion, and soon, thousands of people

had joined to witness the spectacle.

“I'm Camille, and I have something to say about my divorce from Ayan."

These two names were familiar to many people, especially those who

loved to follow celebrity news. They didn't want to miss this juicy piece

of information. As a result, within just a few minutes of going live, the

number of online viewers had already reached thousands.

Camille wasn't in a hurry. She waited for more people to join before

speaking.

The camera pointed at the view outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Some viewers quickly recognized the location. The chat in the stream

was filled with discussions, speculating that this might be a mere

attempt to gain attention.

However, many believed it was indeed Camille herself, or she wouldn't

dare to appear publicly in these circumstances. Didn't this mean she

was defying both Ayan and the Armstrong family?

The live stream garnered more and more attention as the discussion

topics multiplied. Sienna, who sat in the background, sent Camille a

message, asking, "When do we start?"
