Chapter 475 Initiative
Cora pursed her lips slightly as she subconsciously glanced at Camille
sitting across from her before whispering, "I don't blame Miss
Armstrong, it was my own carelessness.â
Her words left Camille feeling a bit conflicted.
If you don't blame her, why did you make a point of saying so?
And why should she be blamed?
Camille looked at her with a slight frown and a puzzled searching look
in her eyes, but Coraâs eyes subconsciously averted to look away.
Without waiting for Camille to speak, Jeremiah suddenly spoke up:
"Master Simpson, it was Miss Armstrong leaving Manager Hayes
behind that caused Manager Hayes to get lost with us.â
Jeremiah's words silenced everyone in the room, and eyes were
subconsciously directed to Camille.
But she sat there without any emotion or reaction, just indifferently
looked askance at Jeremiah, the corners of her mouth rose slightly,
flushed with a self-deprecating sneer.
When Camille didn't say anything, Austin spoke up and asked, "Miss
Armstrong, Mrs. Simpson, do you have anything you want to say?"
Camille looked indifferently at Austin as she said, "I didn't leave
Manager Hayes behind, but I don't deny my responsibility as her
companion, but I had nothing to do with her getting lost, I didn't leave
her behind.â
"Austin, stop it, it's not about Miss Armstrong, it's my own problem, it's
my bad, it's over, let's stop it, I don't blame Miss Armstrong."
Cora said this in a soft voice for Camille, as if she was defending
Camille too.
But she kept repeating "I don't blame Miss Armstrong", which made
Camille feel that she was not defending her at all, but telling everyone
that Camille did leave her behind, but she was generous, so she
wouldn't blame Camille.
Camille felt very speechless.
But her silence made Austin ask, "What do you mean Miss Armstrong,
you don't seem to be convinced that Cora doesn't blame you?"
âI don't understand what Master Norman meant by his words?"
Austin frowned and said, "Miss Armstrong, so you don't feel like you did
the wrong thing by leaving Cora behind?"
"I didn't leave anyone behind."
âIf you didn't leave why did Cora get lost with someone?"
Camille smiled lightly: "Master Norman, I think you should ask Manager
Hayes about that. We were clearly separated in the Pine Barrens, so
why was she found by everyone in the other place?"
Originally Camille didn't want to say anything because she didn't want
to speculate on why Cora was lost?
Not to mention wondering why Cora was lost in the pine forest but
found in another place?
So so many people looking for her alone, halfway up the hill are
everyone's shouting, she really did not hear it?
Camille pursed her lips slightly, her face as cold as ink.
After her words, Austin fell silent and stared at her with a not-so-great
face.
But of course it's not just Austin who is silent, Cora and the others are
as quiet as they are silent.
A few seconds later, Ayan's low voice slowly rang out, âDoes Manager
Hayes have anything to say?"
Cora's face stiffened slightly, she pursed her lips and said in a light
voice, "Master Simpson, Miss Armstrong, I've just said that it's over, it
doesn't matter who's responsible, I'm fine now, there's nothing wrong
with me, so I don't want to talk about it anymore."
"Cora, this incident has passed, but this project has just begun, at this
moment everyone is in, what you have to say, no matter who left you
behind causing you to wander I as a husband will do you justice, after
all, this is not a small matter, this is a dangerous act of human life!"
Austin assured in a cold voice, anger flourishing between his words!
At the moment the atmosphere is also gradually becoming somewhat
contentious.
Cora said again, "It's not Miss Armstrong's fault, it's my own problem,
so I blame myself."
"Cora!" Austin's voice trailed off.
But Cora kept this attitude, but the more she did so, the more it seemed
like she was deliberately covering up something, as if she was
intentionally speaking for Camille, and it also felt like she was trying to
make a big deal out of a small one.
Not waiting for the crowd to think about it, Dan's voice suddenly rang
out.
Dan asked, "Manager Hayes, did you initiate the group competition
yourself?"
Cora was slightly stunned and nodded back, "Yes, it was my initiative.â
"So it was also you who volunteered to be on a team with Miss
Armstrong?"
"Right."
"So what happened when you were alone together?"
Dan asked again in a light voice.
Cora, however, was silent.
Her eyes subconsciously looked at Camille, her lips lightly pursed in
indecision.
Camille raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in a light voice,
"Manager Hayes has something bad to say? If you don't want to talk
then let me do it!"
"Miss Armstrong, things started because of and I don't blame you, it's
all my own fault and I don't want to talk about it anymore." She said
immediately.
"Why don't you mention it? Since everyone is here, wouldn't it be nice
to let everyone know exactly what's going on?" Camille is frank, there's
nothing hidden from her, it's just that her only hesitation is about this
project.
That's all.
The two men locked eyes.
Cora spoke again, "Miss Armstrong, I'm sorry, maybe because of those
words of mine made you misunderstand, I'm here to say sorry to you."
Cora tried to stand up and bow to Camille, but Austin stopped her just
as she made a move to get up.
Austin said, "Cora, you're the one who's hurt now, how is it your turn to
apologize?"
This talk obviously carries connotations.
Ayan said lightly, "What does Master Norman mean?"
"Master Simpson, since we all have to work on official business for a
long time in the future, I think we have to clear up all the
misunderstandings, otherwise we will not be happy working together.â
"So what?"
âI mean, whoever did it wrong apologizes!" Austin narrowed his eyes
slightly, "Mrs. Simpson, what do you think?"
Camille did not say anything, just expressionlessly staring ahead not
knowing what is thinking?
Camille did not say anything, the atmosphere became more and more
gloomy, in the end Cora suddenly could not hold back the tears, she
covered her face and said in a low voice: "It's all my fault, it's my fault
for causing trouble, I apologize to everyone, I'm sorry!"
Cora apologized while crying, making the faces of those present look
very unpleasant.
Jeremiah said in a low voice, "Why do people who do wrong not
apologize?"
This statement means something, we all know who is referring to?
But Camille did not respond, she just had a moment to directly repeat
all those words Cora said word for word, but on second thought it
seemed unnecessary and boring, and it was clear that Cora was also
trying to stop her from speaking.
So is she afraid that Austin will find out?
Camille did not want to look deeper, just sullen face silent.
At this point, Ayan spoke: "This matter no matter who is right and who
is wrong is not important, since Manager Hayes was injured, then I as
the head of this project I represent the entire project team and Simpson
Group to say sorry, it is my improper arrangements let you get injured,
if there is any follow-up needs can always tell my Kian, the Simpson
Group will be responsible to the end!"
Ayan volunteered to say sorry, but every word of his was businesslike
and without any gentleness.
Cora's face was stony, but she still responded immediately, "Master
Simpson doesn't have to do that, it's my own problem!"
Camille's face was expressionless and sullen, especially when she
heard Ayan's apology, an inexplicable torment overflowed from her
heart.
Originally, Ayan apologized for the matter is also considered to be over,
after all, who is he? He is Ayan, the president of Simpson Group, he is
willing to apologize then means to give a great face.
But Austin didn't want to leave it at that.
Austin said, "So Master Simpson is apologizing instead of Mrs.
Simpson? What about Mrs. Simpson?"
Austin held on, and he insisted that Camille apologize as well.
But Camille simply said, "I had nothing to do with Manager Hayes
getting lost, so I don't need anyone to apologize for me, because I did
nothing wrong."
Ayan's voice rang out again, "Camille, apologize!"
The two voices were almost seamlessly joined one after the other, his
tone had no temperature, and all the purpose of his words were the
only words he spoke.
Camille looked at Ayan as if she had heard something unbelievable,
and not only her, but the others were also slightly shocked.
But Camille didn't do what he wanted and just said lightly, "I didn't do
anything wrong, so why should I apologize?"
