Chapter 273 - The Pursuit

Camille also froze, she only reacted to the entanglement between Bella

and Sienna at this moment, looked a little worried and said, "Are you ...

okay?"

“I'm fine, so answer my question first."

Sienna took off her disposable gloves, then turns to face Camille with a

slight chill in her eyes.

Camille said, "Probably just trying to impress Talia, after all, they've

known each other for years, and if there's a connection, it's that my

warning to Bella earlier made the Day family uncomfortable."

"It's false to please, it's true that they want to take this opportunity to

step on you, right?" The coldness under Sienna's eyes deepened as

she said, "Bella doesn't like you much because of me, so Mrs. Day is

trying to set you up.”

"If she wants to set me up, she doesn't need to personally go to the

Simpson family, because all the families in the circle clearly know what

the Simpson family's attitude towards me, and not three or two

sentences of provocation can affect that, so don't take it seriously, it

has nothing to do with you, I talk to you about this matter because I

want you to know that the Simpson family treats me better than the

Armstrong family does.”

Sienna collected her heartfelt emotions and said with a slightly lighter

face, "I think so too, in fact I have always had a doubt, if it wasn't for the

fact that the Simpson family has been so good to you, I would have to

wonder if there was some purpose to it?"

Camille laughed: "What do they want from me?"

“They probably want you to become the real deal "the Simpson family”,

so they are trying to buy you off with what's best for you."

"Probably."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After that, there were few more conversations about the design

blueprint.

With less than half a month to go before the start of the second round,

Sienna was now a little worried and said, “Cami, have you asked Ayan

if this can be finished before the tournament?”

This question made the expression on Camille's face subconsciously

become blank as well.

She sighed helplessly: "I didn't ask, he is too busy these days, while

dealing with the outside world and the Simpson Group's internal affair,

as for the competition matter, he didn't ask about that, neither I mention

it."

"I suggest you have to ask, if you can't solve it before the tournament,

what will you do?"

Sienna asked.

Camille responded after a moment of silence, "There is nothing to do,

the worst that can happen is to withdraw from the competition.”

She said it lightly, without any emotion or expression on her face.

But the heart was blue.

She prepared for such a long time, not to mention the heart and soul,

because of the efforts made in this matter and the cooperation of

Yessica and the three of them, Camille felt very sorry for the withdraw.

She just couldn't show any emotion, which would affect the others as

well, so she had to keep a good heart and also go to appease the

others to do the same with her.

When you think about it, it's pretty exhausting.

Because of Sienna's mention of the incident, Camille also made a

decision in her mind that some things should be taken as a

precautionary measure in case they really happen and the results are

unacceptable.

The two talked for a long time, so they lost track of time.

It was only when Camille's cell phone rang that they were interrupted.

After looking at the caller ID, she simply cut it off.

"Why don't you answer it?" Sienna asked, giving her a look.

Camille pursed her lips, “It's Ayan calling."

"What does he mean? You come to my place for a chat and you have

to count the time?"

Sienna expressed contempt.

Camille, however, smiled faintly, "Probably afraid we'd say something

bad about him."

Finally Camille got up and left under Sienna’s displeasure.

Sienna had her fill of dog food and had little appetite for pizza and

coffee.

The next day, which was already the fourth day after the collapse.

The Simpson Group's various fervor has dropped quite a bit, but there

are still a lot of people following this story.

Ayan arrived at the company early in the morning, and after a meeting

with the company executives, he went back to his office, followed by

Kian.

Ayan sat down at his desk and Kian handed over his work schedule for

the day: "Mr. Simpson, the jury of the architect competition and the

partner called and wanted to know if the second round would be held

as scheduled?"

"Why not?"

Ayan frowned slightly.

Kian explained, "They were probably worried that the recent events

would affect the game.”

He snorted coldly, “Do you not eat or drink anything because your

finger is injured?"

Kian had his head down, didn't dare to make a sound.

He was just a messenger and risked getting fired but not by much.

The atmosphere was briefly quiet for half a minute, Ayan finished

sweeping all the work arrangements in front of him, then raised his

eyes to Kian and said, "Free up my time at noon, I have a dinner date

with Rex, besides, the cooperation between Zhou's side and Simpson

Group can not be renewed, if they want to ask the reason, then let

them go to Mrs. Day and Bella themselves to ask a clear question. Day

and Bella to ask for clarification.”

Ayan indifferently commanded, then has lowered his head to continue

reading other documents.

Kian, however, is a bit suspicious, suddenly to Zhou like this is out of

what?

Because Bella messed with Camille?

That's all he could think of, and then he still hurriedly nodded and did

as Ayan had arranged.

After Zhou's side got the news, they also cried out and immediately

contacted Rex, but Rex's side also asked three questions and had no

idea what happened?

Rex immediately called Ayan: * What's going on at Day Group?"

"Didn't you tell them to find Bella and Mrs. Day? You're already in

charge of the Day family's affairs before you're even married to Bella?"

Ayan's words were cynical, with a tone of indifference that stung Rex's

ears.

Rex said, "I didn't provoke you, did 1?"

"Cut the crap, what do you want? Are you here as a lobbyist for the Day

family?"

"Of course not, I just want to know an inside story, or a reason to say

no, right?"

Ayan cold snort, the eyes are all cold: "The inside story is to do things

that should not be done, say things that should not be said, counting

up, you can not escape.”

How could Rex not hear the implication of his words?

His face changed slightly and his voice darkened: "Because of what I

did with Sienna?"

“Is it I do not know, but more or less related, this time it all depends on

Camille, actively looking to fight the Simpson family to my mother to

sow discord, the Simpson family so fond of Camille even I can not

compare, you think they can sow success?"

Ayan was completely out of his depth and didn't feel any displeasure at

all because Camille was more likeable than he was in the Simpson

family.

After listening, Rex said in an indifferent tone, “Since it is a matter

concerning the Simpson family, I am not in a position to interfere as a

friend, so I don't know anything.”

Ayan just slightly narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice: "There

are something I want to talk about, if you really don't get the guts to

make a decision before it is too late."

His words were on point, and as for how Rex was going to choose,

that's Rex's own business.

Originally Ayan intended to meet with Rex at dinner time, but now after

the phone call to make it clear, the dinner was canceled.

He dialed Camille's number directly after a moment of silence.

But the person who answered the phone was Sienna, who asked,

"Cami is not available right now, why don't you call back later?"

“Is she busy?"

"Well ... she is a little busy.” Sienna stared at the two figures in front of

the floor-to-ceiling window with a slyly bad intention under her eyes and

said faintly, "A wooer came to see her and they are chatting now, so

you can call later, it should be okay, right, Mr. Simpson?"
