Chapter 258: Malice
Her eyes shrank sharply, “I haven’t told anyone.”
More importantly, she never took it seriously.
Her face was slightly solemn and her eyes were filled with complicated unease, “Ayan, do you suspect
that someone stole the system from me?”
“Not suspect, I’m sure.” Ayan put it bluntly and analyzed patiently, “You knew the location of the
monitor, but you didn’t take it seriously, which was owing to the fact that you didn’t think it was going to
happen these things. However, someone else was likely to know that. But it didn’t mean that it was
leaked from you, or it may be leaked from the workers who installed it on the construction site.”
Camille recalled carefully in her mind. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
She really hadn’t mention it to anyone.
Even Sienna didn’t know that.
Because she generally didn’t mention things irrelevant with them, which was her habit for many years
and also because of her some professionalism in her own work.
Camille nodded. She could understand.
It seemed that only she knew everything, but if somebody wants know, they will find out in other ways.
But who would do that?
The man must know some things and habits her and Ayan.
Seeing Camille lose herself in thought, Ayan lifted his hand and gently stroked her cheek, “Don’t think
about it too much. The reason why I tell you is that I don’t want you to hear it from others. Would you
like to have lunch with me?”
Camille looked at him and nodded.
With a silent sigh, she said, “Grandma’s operation is a few days away. She’s also very worried after
knowing the accident. I haven’t been there today. I don’t know how to tell her for fear that she’s too
anxious.”
“That’s alright. I’ll call her later to explain.”
Camille smiled and nodded.
Simpson Group remained the most heated and didn’t weaken. The reporters couldn’t get anything from
Ayan and Camille and there were bodyguards following them all the time. So, they turned their
attention to other people.
They tried their best to get first-hand information.
Eileen’ mother was to have a surgery. As a dutiful daughter, she had to come to the hospital.
On finishing her training, she asked her agent to drive her to the hospital at once.
When Eileen arrived at the hospital, the reporters who got the news form someone unknown waited at
the gate immediately. As soon as she came out, they rushed up at once.
“Miss. Khan, excuse me. Do you have anything to say about Simpson Group’s accident?”
“Miss. Khan, do you know what is the truth?”
“Is it really caused by Simpson Group using non-compliant materials without permission? Does it mean
that there are problems with other projects and those that have been perfected before?”
Eileen’s face was also chilled by the sharp questioning.
She replied, “I don’t believe that Ayan and Simpson Group would do such a thing. I think you should all
know how trustworthy Simpson Group is, right? This matter has not yet been clarified, and I hope that
people can give the most basic respect to Simpson Group considering its contribution to Hance City.”
Eileen's answer was completely correct.
For one thing, she expressed her position. For another, she tried to make them understand they
shouldn’t treat others unjustly before the results came out. More importantly, Simpson Group has made
a lot of contributions to Hance City, even if it was wrong, it won’t be criticized until the results came out,
let alone everything was still under investigation.
The reporters were not surprised to her position and asked, “Miss. Khan, you have been Mr. Simpson’s
ex-girlfriend. Now Mr. Simpson married Miss. Armstrong. Why are you still willing to stand up for
Simpson Group?”
Eileen smiled. As soon as she was about to answer, the agent sopped her and gave her a look
indicating that she should stop talking.
However, Eileen smiled slightly, “It doesn’t matter. There is no reason for me to do this. Ayan is pretty
nice. Even we can’t be lovers, we can also be best friends. We sincerely hope that everything would be
fine for each other.”
“Miss. Khan, you are very kind. Does Miss. Armstrong know your relationship?”
“Of course. I hope Ayan and Camille can be happy all the time and I’ll bless them. Maybe we had some
misunderstandings before, Camille once planned to divorce. But we made it clear later. Now they’re
fine. Please don’t bother them.”
The reporters at the scene caught the most important point from Eileen’s words instantly.
The reporter asked, “Miss. Khan, do you mean that Miss. Armstrong planned to divorce before?”
Eileen kept smiling, “I just said that she had the intention due to our misunderstanding. But I persuaded
her and the misunderstanding was resolved. Now we’re good friends. I have to leave first. I will invite
everyone to dinner after this matter is cleared.”
Eileen got into the car before the reporters could ask any more questions.
Sitting in the car, Philomel, Eileen’s agent, looked at her. “Eileen, you shouldn’t have said those words
and talked to the reporters just now. you will get yourself into trouble.”
“I’m just being honest. I didn’t say anything that can’t be said. What’s more, Simpson Group and Ayan
are in trouble now. I have to clarify it with the reporters.”
Eileen didn’t think that she did anything wrong. What she said was for the sake of Ayan.
As for Camille.
Well, she had to get herself out of it.
The corners of Eileen's mouth rose slightly, revealing a triumphant sneer.
Then she closed her eyes, put on her eye patch, and leaned against the back seat to rest.
Philomel glanced at her with a complicated look in his eyes. Finally, she picked up her mobile phone
and sent a message quietly.
Simpson Group
Ayan was working on other projects in the office. Kian opened the doors anxiously. He glanced at Kian
with displeasure and a warning look in his eyes. “What’s the fuss?”
“Eileen went to the hospital and met a group of reporters. She talked to the reporter indiscriminately. I
received a message from her agent just now, but she can’t confirm who those reporters are?”
Ayan immediately put down the pen and documents in his hand, and looked at the time with a cold
expression. “Contact the media and reporters who have a good relationship with Simpson Group at
once. No matter what they require, get the words and have a check.
“Well, I’ll contact them now.”
“Deal with it personally.”
“OK.”
Ayan's face was cold, and his eyes were full of cold anger.
However, he didn’t expect that the incident went viral so quickly that within half an hour, the video and
the text of the interview Eileen had just given overwhelmed the internet. Because someone maliciously
edited, Camille was thrown into the storm.
The video deliberately pointed to Camille, indicating that Camille caused the accident and she didn’t
want get divorced with Ayan aiming to let Simpson Group help Armstrong Corp.
The netizens voiced that Camille should take on the responsibility. she can't let others pay for it
because of her own faults.
Kian got in touch with one of the reporters who interviewed Eileen at the hospital just now.
The man replied, “Sorry, Mr. Reid. I was too far back, so my photograph was very vague. The reporters
in front were all newcomers, and I didn't know them very well. I can’t contact them for you.”
Then he sent the video but Kian couldn’t hear anything from it.
Kian told Ayan truthfully. When he saw the commotion at the scene, his face was cold and solemn, as if
it was covered with broken ice.
He remained silent for a few seconds and then called Camille immediately.
But Camille’s phone was busy, and he couldn't get through.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and his deep eyes were wrapped in thick darkness. Thin lips were
pursed into a straight line, and the hand holding the mobile phone was subconsciously tightened.
He could clearly feel his heart beating, as if it were held tightly by something, which made it hard to
breathe.
