Chapter 1146: Worries
Actually, this is also his concern. If Mario partners with Preston, things
will definitely be tricky. Although he can't do anything to him, it will at
least make him temporarily deal with the two of them.
After Ayan's words, Rex also sighed silently. He whispered, "So you're
saying that Mario hasn't stooped as low as Preston?"
Ayan glanced at Rex and said in a particularly cold voice, "Mario is not
stupid. He won't choose to cooperate with Preston unless he wants to
end up like the Walker family."
After all, Preston has been calculating against the Walker family for so
many years. Although his methods may have received a lot of praise
and people think he is a person with tactics and scheming abilities
since he has climbed step by step from an adopted son's identity until
now; even though now he hasn't gained anything from the Walker
family yet but still they haven't recovered their former glory either and
the people of the Walker family are still abroad.
Just this point alone fully confirms that Preston's scheming cannot be
ignored.
Speaking of the Walker family means we must also talk about
Armstrong Family now.
Rex asked lightly: "So you mean Mario is still a good person?"
Ayan was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Rex asking: "So if
he were a good person then are you planning on letting him go?"
"What are you talking about? This is impossible! This is my bottom line;
it's something I can never agree to." Rex immediately denied it without
hesitation because even hesitating for one second would show
disrespect towards this relationship and feelings.
Ayan rarely didn't argue back but just nodded faintly: âThat's good."
The three chatted for a while before Camille, Sienna and Yessica came
over too.
They were ready to start dinner officially so they didn't chat for long
before joining everyone else at the table together.
Although Ayan and Rex were there too, Camille and Sienna made
everyone feel comfortable without any pressure or discomfort needed
because everyone was young after all; they weren't that rigid either so
this meal had very good atmosphere which was equivalent to Camille's
team building event
However, this team building included bringing along families too
Since dinner finished early, Rex invited Ayan, Kian, and others out for
drinks in club.
Although Kian was Ayan's secretary, but privately she treated everyone
like friends since they have known each other for years
Upon arriving at the club, not only were Ayan, Rex, and Kian there, but
Derek and Tomas had also shown up. Everyone had been busy with
their own things lately, so it was rare for them all to be together like this.
Naturally, they couldn't meet without having a drink or two. While the
men were drinking and chatting away, Camille and Sienna weren't idle
either. They found a corner to sit in and watched the men from afar.
Sienna said in a nonchalant tone,"Rex just earned me some money; he
said it's my reward for making it into the preliminaries.â
Camille immediately turned her attention towards Sienna. If she could
say something like that with such an unsure tone of voice then naturally
this sum of money wasn't small.
"How much did he give you?" Camille asked flatly.
Sienna pursed her lips slightly as she smiled faintly,"Take a look
yourself." She handed over her phone which was lying on the coffee
table.
Camille frowned slightly before taking Sienna's phone from her hand to
take a quick glance at what was on screen. Oh boy! She didn't expect
that amount of money; six zeros!
"So are you trying to show off your wealth?" Camille snorted
disdainfully.
"Am 1? No way! How could I possibly show off my wealth? You know
me too well; math isn't my strong suit so I don't really understand how
much this is worth." Sienna explained innocently while shrugging her
shoulders.
"I suggest you act more humble because if you continue flaunting your
wealth like this then I might just transfer it all away from you.â Camille
warned jokingly.
"Aww come on! I'm not trying to brag or anything; I'm just curious about
how much Rex would give me if I won first place in the finals or
something similar." Sienna replied playfully while batting her eyelashes
at Camille.
"Well even if you don't win first place but still want that kind of reward
then Rex will probably give it to you anyway since he doesn't care
about these things as long as he has faith in someone."
Camilla wasn't exaggerating because both Ayan and Rex were alike
when they believed in someone wholeheartedly they wouldn't care
about materialistic things anymore especially now when they were
married everything belonged equally between them both.
It was no different for Sienna since she got married without signing any
prenuptial agreement nor did she ask for any restrictions whatsoever
For companies like the Simpson family and the Ward family, there is a
great risk involved. If Camille becomes unreasonable and greedy for
their money during the divorce, then they will have to split some of it.
As they thought about this, both of them couldn't help but sigh.
Sienna said, "I promise I'll be nicer to Rex from now on. I can't keep
bullying him. I want him to feel loved."
Camille just looked at Sienna silently and wondered if she needed to
change anything. She treated Ayan well and was gentle with him, so
did she really need to change?
She said to Sienna, "Maybe you shouldn't change after all? I'm afraid
he won't be used to it if you do. He might think you did something
wrong."
When Sienna heard the word "wrong," she started worrying again.
She looked at Camille and said, "What should I do? Mario hasn't left
yet. His secretary keeps sending me messages about his progress in
Hance City where he rented an office space for five years. What does
that mean? Is he going to stay in Hance City for five years?"
Camille comforted her softly saying,"Don't worry about it; he's a man
who prioritizes profits above everything else. He won't delay things
because of you or any other non-business-related issues for too long."
"If he stays away from Flento City for too long, don't you think others
will start having ideas? Won't shareholders or executives start thinking
differently?"
"The King family has worked hard just to get where they are today;
Mario can't possibly think that everything's going smoothly now right?
Of course not! We know better than anyone else what kind of person
Mario is - someone who only cares about business and profit."
"How could he give up on King Group because of Sienna?"
