Chapter 1263: Beautiful

"Am I despicable?" Preston sneered, his voice becoming particularly

grave. He said, "Cami, isn't that a bit too hurtful of you to say? If I were

truly despicable, do you think you could still talk to me like this? If I

were really despicable, I should have taken you away the last time."

His tone was filled with displeasure and anger. He let out a light snort,

his eyes filled with cold indifference, and his voice was full of

questioning.

Listening to his words, Camille naturally had no response.

The atmosphere became quiet as a result, but it was only a brief

moment of silence. The next second, Preston spoke again. He said, "I

want Ayan's itinerary. I need detailed records of his schedule. Cami,

don't deceive me. I don't know if you can deceive me, but if I find out

you're lying to me, you will pay the price.”

His words were full of threats, perhaps thinking that Camille wasn't

listening, so he repeated himself, "Cami, I can pamper you and treat

you well. I'm willing to fulfill your every desire, but it's on the condition

that I'm willing. If I'm not willing now, then you must do as I say.

Otherwise, I won't turn a blind eye."

Camille still didn't speak, not even a single response.

This made Preston extremely displeased. He no longer called her

"Cami" but addressed her by her name directly, "Camille, did you hear

what I said?"

His voice was filled with displeasure, and it was exceptionally cold.

Camille pursed her lips slightly, clearly ignoring his words.

But she didn't want to anger Preston right now. After a brief silence, she

said, "If you want the itinerary, it means you want me to intentionally

reveal my hand in front of Ayan. I never interfere with his schedule. If I

suddenly ask him for his itinerary, what excuse do you want me to use?

Do you think with Ayan's personality, he won't have any suspicions?"

Camille tried to dissuade Preston from wanting Ayan's schedule by

using this approach because she didn't want Preston to succeed and

she didn't want to help him with anything.

Camille's words were unknown whether Preston listened or not.

Preston was silent for just two seconds before calmly saying, “That's

your problem. You figure it out. I only want a result, so I hope you can

deliver."

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly, without giving Camille

any opportunity to speak.

Looking at the hung-up phone, Camille's expression turned extremely

cold and indifferent. Her eyes revealed a deep chill, and her face

remained completely emotionless.

She held the phone without moving for a long time, her face reaching

the utmost level of indifference.

Preston wanted Ayan's schedule, which meant he wanted to do

something to Ayan. Camille would never agree or compromise, no

matter what.

However, if she didn't comply, Preston might resort to threatening her

again.

So she needed to think carefully about how to eliminate Preston's

threat while keeping Ayan's schedule a secret.

She thought deeply for a while and finally came up with a preliminary

answer.

But she needed to ask Ayan before deciding whether it would work or

not.

She put down the phone without video calling Timmy. She had no

mental capacity for it now. She went to take a shower and when she

came out of the bathroom, she saw that Ayan had also returned to his

room and was answering a phone call. She wondered who it was.

After a few minutes, the call ended, and he looked up at her.

Knowing that at this time, her usual habit was to video chat with Timmy,

but seeing her already finished with her shower, he casually asked,

"You're done chatting so soon tonight?"

Camille replied, "We didn't chat. I wanted to ignore him for a bit. After

all, you'll be going on a business trip soon, and I wanted to spend more

time with you. After you leave, I'll go back to the Simpson's mansion to

keep him company.”

"So, you love me more, right?"

"Yes, I love you more." Camille cooperated well, knowing that Ayan was

a jealous person, and even if it was Timmy's jealousy, he enjoyed it.

As Camille thought about it, she couldn't help but find it a bit funny. She

pretended to be calm and asked Ayan, "When you go abroad for the

project, who will be in charge of the Simpson Group here?"

“There's a team to handle it, and my schedule won't be made public.

No one will know I've gone abroad."

"Then shouldn't I also play along and make everyone think you're still in

Hance City? In that case, I shouldn't go back to the Simpson's

mansion. I should stay here so that those who are watching us won't

suspect anything, right?"

“There's no need to go through all that trouble. If you want to go back to

the Simpson's mansion, I'll have the driver pick you up. Just take my

car back.”

Camille nodded in agreement. "Okay."

The next day was the cocktail party, so it was natural to rest early and

conserve energy for the night.

Camille was Ayan's companion, so she naturally needed to attend in

formal attire. Rex and Sienna were also included in the invitation, as

well as the parents of the Armstrong family, since they were part of

Armstrong Corp. However, Fletcher and Talia didn't need to attend, as it

was a small gathering and there was no need for them to make an

appearance.

Nevertheless, many prominent figures from the wealthy and business

circles of Hance City were present. After all, with Ayan's presence,

attending the party was not only showing respect to him but also to

Simpson Group.

On the morning of the cocktail party, Camille made an appointment with

Sienna for a beauty treatment. Afterwards, they went together to

choose their dresses and had a makeup artist come to their place for

the makeup.

Both of them attached great importance to this cocktail party, so even

when Ayan and Rex returned to pick them up, they were still in the

midst of getting ready. The two men had no choice but to sit on the

couch and wait.

Time passed by, and now it was already past six in the evening. They

were planning to grab a bite to eat before heading to the party venue

later. However, judging by the progress of their makeup, it seemed

unlikely that they would be able to eat. So Ayan instructed the nanny at

home to cook some dumplings to fill their stomachs because the dinner

would only be served after the cocktail party, and they would have to go

hungry until around nine o'clock. Drinking some alcohol later was

inevitable.

The dumplings were cooked, and Ayan and Rex started eating.

Camille and Sienna were almost ready as well, but they had no

intention of eating. Sienna said, "It's been a long time since I attended

such a formal event. Don't make me eat, it might ruin my makeup."

Rex helplessly said, "It's just a small cocktail party. Why do you need to

dress up so beautifully?"

“I'm doing it for myself and for you."

"For me? That's something you can do at home."

“I don't need to spend so much time on myself at home. For this party

today, I can't let you lose face. Otherwise, people might say, “Look at

Rex's wife, she's so ordinary.’ Sienna walked up to Rex and whispered,

“Besides, Mario will be there. Do you want him to think I'm better off

with the King family? Of course, I want him to see that I'm doing great

without the King family."

Otherwise, Sienna wouldn't have spent so much time on skincare,

makeup, and buying a dress. She even wore the diamond necklace her

mother-in-law gave her as a gift when they first met, hanging it around

her neck.
