Chapter 1127: Arrogance

Camille lightly pursed her lips, and her expression became slightly

tense. She didn't deny it, which made Ayan's smile on his face even

more amusing. He said, "So, you really think I would treat you like

that?"

Camille softly replied, "I didn't say that."

"Do you have this concern in your heart?" He stared at Camille, his

voice particularly husky and low. He continued, “At this moment, do you

genuinely have such thoughts?"

Camille looked into Ayan's eyes and didn't deny it. Instead, she

admitted along with his words, "Yes, I did think that way. But I feel it's

just my own anxiety, leading to these messy thoughts, nothing more."

Ayan approached her, his expression revealing a hint of coldness. He

reached out and gently embraced her, his attitude very serious. He

spoke with extra seriousness, "I've talked to Rex, and this decision is to

ensure the upcoming issues. Rex has also joined this collaboration

project. So, do you still harbor any dissatisfaction towards me?"

Camille looked at Ayan in surprise. "Rex agreed too?"

"He agreed, agreed very readily. Because our ideas are the same. Why

not take advantage of the benefits offered? Not only take advantage

but take it beautifully.” Ayan smirked lightly, his deep gaze still fixed on

Camille. He said, "So, if there's anything bothering you, just tell me,

okay?"

Camille nodded gently, and her expression eased a bit. She said, “It

seems I've oversimplified things. These seemingly complicated matters,

in your hands, turn into useful benefits for you. No wonder I can't be in

your position and can only work hard like a laborer.”

Camille sighed silently, shaking her head slightly. A faint sigh appeared

on her face, and her expression was quite unbelievable.

Ayan patiently explained, clearly and precisely. At the same time, he

told her, "It's not that you've oversimplified, it's just that you think too

much about Mario. In fact, his purpose is very clear. He's after Sienna,

but The King Family and King Group are more important to him than

Sienna. This makes the whole thing simpler.”

Camille looked up at him and asked, "Are all you men more rational?

Everything is unimportant in front of interests?"

"We men?" Ayan snorted lightly. He said, "I'm not like Mario."

"I didn't say it was him."

“But your eyes have already told me the answer, haven't they?" Ayan

gently pinched her cheek. His well-defined fingers rubbed lightly, and

his voice became even huskier. He said, "Regardless of Mario's

intentions, he won't succeed, so don't have any worries."

"Really?"

"Of course!”

Camille nodded lightly, saying, "Okay, I believe you. I believe everything

you said."

Ayan curved his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile. He gently held her

hand and didn't insist on her accompanying him to the company.

Instead, he said, "Secretary Armstrong, you've only worked for one day,

and now you want to take a day off. If you do that, I won't pay your

salary."

Camille laughed, "I don't care. Anyway, I want paid leave."

Her tone was domineering and arrogant, making Ayan unable to refuse.

He just squinted his eyes, smiled lowly, and then leaned down to kiss

her cheek. After that, he got into the car and left.

After Ayan went to the company, Camille immediately called Sienna.

Sienna, of course, wasn't going to the office, so she took the initiative to

come over to Camille's place to check on Timmy at the Simpson's

mansion.

While chatting about the events at the Ward family last night, Sienna

said, "I think Mario did it on purpose. He wants to remind me in this

way, telling me not to think he has no way to deal with me. In fact, he

has many methods, and he can start with the Ward family.”

Camille took a silent deep breath and said in a calm voice, "What's

there to be afraid of? Ayan said this is Hance City. Even if he does

something, it has to go through Ayan and Rex. This isn't Flento City, so

he can't have everything his way."

Sienna nodded lightly and said, "Yes, he can't have everything his

way."

Camille looked at her, her mood not getting any better. So, she shared

the topic she had just discussed with Ayan.

Sienna, after hearing it, didn't show much emotion. She said, "I

understand what you mean. Rex has talked to me too. He's afraid I

might misunderstand and affect our relationship.”

Camille replied, "As long as you don't misunderstand, that's good.

Actually, I'm also worried about this."

"Silly, our relationship won't be affected by anything, okay?"

Camille laughed, feeling happy hearing Sienna say that.

After chatting, the two returned to the Simpson's mansion. They had

lunch there, accompanied Timmy for a nap, and then left the mansion.

In the afternoon, they returned to the company.

Not much happened these two days. The closer they got to such a

crucial time, the less there was to do because many things were

prepared early. Now, it was more about relaxing to face the competition

with the best attitude.

Everyone was busy with their tasks. Preston, due to missing Mario's

party invitation last night that he had planned with Jenson, didn't want

to miss the chance to collaborate with Mario. After all, he was well

aware of the King family's status in Flento City. Now that Mario was in

Hance City, he thought collaborating with him was the most suitable

relationship. After being in Hance City for so long, he knew the major

enterprises well. Mario had money, and this seemed like a win-win

situation.

More importantly, Mario's relationship with Rex didn't seem as friendly

as imagined; there was an indescribable sense of hostility. Preston

didn't know the reason behind it, but the only thing he was happy about

was that if Mario and Rex had a bad relationship, it could be considered

having a common enemy.

So, this collaboration seemed more solid.

Thinking about this, he felt more motivated. He directly contacted

Mario's secretary to propose a meeting.

But Mario's reply was, "No time."

This was undoubtedly a refusal to meet with Preston, making him feel a

bit embarrassed. He naturally felt dissatisfied.

Under the pretext of collaboration, Preston hoped the secretary could

talk to Mario again. After several phone calls, Mario finally agreed to

meet.

Preston immediately set off for the hotel where Mario lived. When he

arrived, Mario had just come down from upstairs. The two met at the

hotel's coffee shop downstairs.

Preston greeted with enthusiasm, "Mr. King, your reputation precedes

you. It's truly an honor to meet you today!"

Mario simply nodded, showing no intention of extending his hand for a

handshake. He gave Preston a cool glance and asked, "Get straight to

the point. What do you want?"

Preston's expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly regained

his composure. He looked at Mario and said, "Mr. King, expanding

projects in Hance City naturally requires a reliable partner. Companies

like Simpson Group and Shen's can offer you nothing more than equal

collaboration. For long-term development, it's essential to have all the

control in your hands. Do you agree with my point of view?"

Mario gazed indifferently at Preston and responded, "Are you

suggesting that you are the partner who can help me take control of

everything?"

Preston smiled lightly, "Certainly. I can provide Mr. King with ways to

deal with all the businesses in Hance City, understanding their

weaknesses and having the most comprehensive knowledge about

each company.”

"What do you want from me?"

“I want, once Mr. King has firmly established himself in Hance City, for

the company to be under my management when you're not in the city. I

will take care of everything."

Mario gave a faint smile, but his eyes revealed no amusement. His face

remained cold as ice, and his gaze seemed to convey that Preston was

being arrogant and overly confident.
