Chapter 1264: Outstanding
Sienna seemed to know how to handle Rex well. In just a few words,
she successfully gained Rex's approval for her actions. She even said,
âPut on our wedding rings."
Because the diamond was too large, Sienna usually didn't wear it, but
Rex always wore his men's wedding band.
At this moment, Rex naturally found the right opportunity. He even
carried the ring with him, which made Sienna wonder if she was being
set up.
But before Sienna had a chance to react, Rex smoothly placed the ring
on her ring finger of the right hand.
Under the illumination of the lights, the dazzling diamond sparkled with
a dazzling brilliance. The diamond was large and shiny, looking
particularly beautiful on Sienna's fair and slender fingers.
Rex looked very satisfied and said, "Now he'll know even more how
well you're doing by my side. Get rid of those thoughts that shouldn't
exist and can never come true and roll back to Flento City as soon as
possible!"
He was indignant and unhappy.
The interaction between the two made Camille and Ayan, who were
sitting on the side, shake their heads helplessly. Men, huh? They
seemed mature on the surface, but in front of the woman they deeply
loved, they acted like childish children.
Ayan was the same, but he would never admit it.
However, as he looked at the ring on Sienna's hand, he suddenly
realized that he and Camille didn't have any rings.
He had given Camille jewelry like rings before, but they didn't hold the
same meaning as wedding rings.
While Rex was talking to Sienna, Ayan whispered to Camille, "When
can you put on a wedding ring for me?"
Camille was slightly startled, her eyes paused for a moment, and she
subconsciously met Ayan's intense gaze. Her cheeks instantly turned
red.
She softly said, "There are people around!"
"Are you avoiding taking responsibility for me? What's wrong with
having people around? They can be our witnesses, right? They're not
strangers anyway. It's just convenient to have them confirm our
commitment, so you can't back out and avoid responsibility.â
His voice was gentle like water but filled with childish irrationality.
His words made Camille widen her eyes in disbelief, and she could only
say, "Why are you acting like a child?!"
"Are you getting tired of me?" Ayan asked, feeling a bit wronged.
Who could have imagined these words coming out of Ayan's mouth?
Camille looked helpless and said, "No, I'm not!"
"Since you don't have one, when do you plan to take responsibility for
me? I want to wear a wedding ring. Like Rex and Sienna, even if you
don't want to remarry temporarily, you can at least wear a ring, right?"
"Mr. Simpson, shouldn't preparing the ring be your responsibility?"
Camille felt quite helpless, so she decided to turn the tables.
But who knew that she fell right into Ayan's trap? Can you guess what
he said? He said, "Okay, I'll prepare it. When I'm ready, will you wear it?
You can help me put it on, and I'll help you put on yours, hm?"
He said it softly, with a gentle smile appearing between his brows, as if
he was satisfied after achieving his goal.
Camille could only surrender.
As a result, Ayan's mood became exceptionally good. Even his
expression towards Rex carried a hint of a smile. This made Rex
wonder if Ayan was planning something against him. Why else would
he be so friendly?
The four of them stayed at home until around 7:30 before leaving for
the cocktail party.
With two cars and a driver, they sat in the back seats.
After about half an hour, they arrived at the venue, which was held at a
hotel under the Simpson Group.
Mr. Nores was in charge of everything. When they arrived, many
people were already present at the cocktail party.
The highlight of the evening was the official launch ceremony of the
project. As one of the participants, Ayan naturally received
congratulations from many companies.
Ayan was at ease with this kind of socializing. After all, he was in his
own territory and had no problems at all.
After the cocktail party officially started, Ayan took the stage for a brief
speech.
Then everyone was free to mingle, as such events provided an
opportunity for people to network with various influential figures. Many
collaborations would arise from such cocktail parties.
Ayan didn't particularly enjoy this atmosphere, so he took Camille to the
second-floor lounge, where they could see the entire hall of the party.
Everyone was mingling with glasses of fine wine, surrounded by people
from various backgrounds.
Mario's presence at the cocktail party naturally attracted attention. He
actively approached many CEOs of companies to greet and chat with
them.
Standing in the center, he stood out with an outstanding demeanor. He
was adept at handling such situations and was very skilled in
socializing.
Camille stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at everything.
Ayan, who was beside her, asked in a low voice, "What are you looking
at?â
Camille truthfully replied and then met Ayan's gaze as she said, "I'm
watching Mario. He returned from Flento City to Hance City so quickly.â
âI wonder what he went to Flento City for?"
"Yeah, I'm curious. Don't you want to know?"
"The people assigned to keep an eye on him didn't notice anything
unusual. It's probably just some work-related matters he had to handle
in Flento City."
"I see." Camille nodded lightly and added, "Looking at him, it seems
like he's really starting to develop in Hance City."
Deep down, Camille couldn't help but worry about Sienna. After all,
Sienna was here tonight, accompanied by Rex. From Camille's
perspective, she could also see Sienna and Rex engaging in
conversation with an elder from the Ward family. Camille glanced at
Mario and then at Rex. Both men were exceptional individuals in their
own right, with attractive appearances, wealth, and talent. But when
comparing the two side by side...
Camille instinctively sided with Rex.
That's why she voiced this question.
Ayan gently took her hand and led her to sit on the nearby sofa. He
handed her a glass of juice and spoke slowly, "His decision to come to
Hance City might not necessarily be for Sienna. Perhaps Hance City's
development has outpaced Flento City in recent years. He is the CEO
of King Group, and it wasn't easy for him to secure that position.
Naturally, he wouldn't be satisfied with the status quo. He wants to
reach even greater heights, so he won't be at the mercy of others. If
possible, he probably wants to control the world!"
"Is that your perspective too?"
"Of course. Everyone sitting in the position they are now wants to climb
higher. Only by standing taller can they avoid being manipulated and
not let others have their way."
"So you think Mario's purpose for coming to Hance City doesn't have
much to do with Sienna?" Camille asked in a low voice.
Ayan nodded slightly and said, "You can say that."
âYou know Mario very well,â Camille said quietly.
He replied, "It's not about knowing him. It's just that his character has
already revealed his intentions. In his mind, the interests of King Group
come first. If it weren't for the interests, do you think he and Sienna
would have reached this point? Would Rex still have a chance today?"
