Chapter 251: Landslide

Ayan didn’t reply immediately which made Camille a bit uneasy.

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't calm down. In the

end, she put away the documents and went out.

Camille would pass through Preston's office before she left the office,

so Preston could see clearly Camille go out. About half a minute later,

he called his secretary and asked, “Does Miss. Armstrong go out?”

“Yes, Miss. Armstrong said she had something to do.”

“Well, I see. Go to your thing.”

He waved his secretary out and closed the door.

The phone in his hand was still on the line. He said in a low voice,

“When Ayan put all his thoughts on explaining to Camille, we will take

action for the project.”

“Are you sure everything will be OK and Ayan won't suspect us?” the

woman on the other side asked uneasily.

Preston replied, “Of course. You need to keep in touch with him as

much as possible in the session and mention something happening a

year ago to make him feel close to you for saving his life. Only in this

way will Camille be disappointed in him.”

“He’s keeping his distance from me. I'm worried that when the project

has an accident, he won't have time to pay attention to me”

“Eileen, there is no turning back when we get to this point. We must go

forward, otherwise our goal will never be achieved.”

Preston told her firmly.

He waited too long for this chance. As long as he took down Ayan

through the project this time, it wouldn't be long before the Simpson

family fell down.

Camille set off from the office. Instead of having the driver follow her,

she drove the car herself.

She drove to Simpson Group. When she stopped, she didn't get off

immediately but kept silent for a long time in the car.

With a heavy sigh, she pushed the door open and walked through the

Simpson Group door.

Ayan had just finished the meeting when Camille arrived at his office.

Then Ayan said, “I saw your text just now. I went to the hospital this

morning and talked with grandma for a while. She looked pretty well.

Dr. Ellis said she has been recovering very well recently. If so, she

could be into the surgery after a few days to confirm the indicators”

Camille didn’t respond obviously. She whispered, “Well, Dr. Ellis also

mentioned it to me.”

“What's wrong? Why is there no expression on your face? Are you

unhappy for my late reply?”

He reached out and held her gently with a faint smell of cigarette,

probably from the lunch with Rex.

But she didn't feel bad. Instead, she had a special feeling.

She leaned into his arms in silence, looking expressionless. She said,

“Ayan, do you suspect that the accident a year ago that made Eileen

get injured was planned by my grandma?”

Her voice was very slight, almost inaudible if you didn't listen to her

carefully.

Ayan was stunned. He released her from his arms and stared at her

with a complicated look in his eyes, “Who told you this?"

“There is no need to care about who told me. Answer me.”

They looked at each other while their gazes locked.

Ayan squinted with a cold face. “I can’t give you my answer right now.”

“Ayan, can't you give me or don’t want to? Do you think it's because I

want to marry you that caused your accident with Eileen? Don't forget

that you and I hadn't decided to get married when you had an accident

with Eileen.”

Camille couldn't calm down. Her whole heart was thrilled at the thought

of his doubt to her.

She didn't like Eileen actually, which was only because Eileen had

provoked her. However, before their marriage, she had no grudge

against her, so why would she do that?

What Ayan did made Camille feel very angry, he could favor Eileen and

misunderstand her. But he couldn't misunderstand her grandma

because of Eileen.

Ayan looked cold. He said indifferently, “This matter is not what you

think and there are some things that I can't explain to you now.

According to the results of my investigation, the person who caused the

accident a year ago is Hunter, whose wife is the nanny taking care of

grandma.”

“How can you be sure it is Hunter?”

"Eileen said it was. She is the client, so I have to find out.”

Camille sneered, “Well, you believe her and think what she said is true.

You find out that Hunter's wife is the nanny who is taking care of my

grandma, and you conclude that this matter has something to do with

her. Do you still think that I actually did? I wanted to marry you so much

that I ruined your relationship with Eileen, right?”

"I don't think so.”

“But isn't that what you are doing?”

Ayan frowned. He looked cold and said in a low voice, “Camille, I hope

you can believe me. Many things are not what you see on the surface.

Sometimes I would also feel vexed and overwhelmed.”

Camille looked at him coldly, “I believe you, but will you believe me?”

They stared at each other, with some complicated looks in their eyes.

Without waiting for Ayan's response, Camille's phone rang at the

moment.

As soon as she pressed the answer button, there was a knock on the

door. Kian pushed the door open and came in.

In Camille's ears was Yessica's anxious voice, “Miss. Armstrong, there

has been a collapse. The situation is a bit terrible. Mr. Walker and I are

on our way. Could you come here?”

Camille's face turned pale, and she subconsciously looked at Ayan.

Kian couldn't care that Camille was still answering the phone and

spoke directly, “Mr. Simpson, something wrong happened. There was a

landslide at the construction site in five minutes that caused a worker to

die on the spot. We can't make sure the casualty toll until now.”

Ayan looked cold and solemn. “A collapse?”

“It's not clear yet, but we don’t know how the media receive the news

that it has been broadcast live. I have contacted Mr. Moss to do

everything possible to protect the scene and call the police. At the

same time, I have asked the public relations department to send

emergency PR. Things may be a little tricky.”

Ayan twisted his eyebrows. He glanced at Camille, who were

responding to Yessica's words, “I'll be right here.”

She hung up the phone and looked into Ayan’s eyes, “There was a

cave-in at the construction site,” she said, “And it's not clear what

caused it.”

The two put away their own personal affairs, and now they have to deal

with the accident first.

“Kian and I are going to the site to check and you..."

“I'm the architect on the project. I have to go, otherwise once it is

exposed, the right will be irrational, which might cause problems for

Simpson Group.”

She replied sensibly and Ayan know she had a point, but he didn’t want

her to go for personal reasons.

Camille added, “Time is urgent, are you sure you want to continue to

spend it because you don’t want to let me go?”
