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” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
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?”
