My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1000

Chapter 1000: Reputation

Camille was momentarily stunned, then she reached out to take the document. She asked, "What is this?"

Ayan asked her to open and take a look. Camille quickly scanned the contents and saw Horace's signature. She looked back at Ayan and asked, "Do you want me to transfer my shares to Horace for real?"

Ayan explained, "Not to transfer them, but to do it in name only. This agreement is legally protected, and Horace won't take actual ownership. He wouldn't dare."

Ayan had grasped the fact that Horace was genuinely in love with Grace, and that made him all the more certain that this approach was the best way to deal with Brody and Page. Only by nullifying Brody's rights and leaving the Armstrong family with no say in Armstrong Corp would he be forced to give up. . Otherwise, Horace would never manage Armstrong Corp effectively, given the constant turmoil Brody and Page would cause when they found out Grace and Horace being together.

Camille didn't immediately respond after hearing Ayan's explanation. Her expression was somewhat blank, and she squinted slightly. She asked Ayan, "This is just signing an agreement, right? There's no actual transfer of shares?"

"Of course not, just an agreement to convince Brody."

Camille nodded lightly. She still had a serious look on her face as she told Ayan, "I've said it before, I'll never sell my shares in Armstrong Corp to anyone. I want to keep them in my hands so I can have peace of mind."

In reality, Camille hadn't personally benefited much from her shares in Armstrong Corp. She used most of the dividends for charitable purposes to help those in need. Her shareholding wasn't substantial, and given the ongoing investments and expenses in Armstrong Corp, the profits weren't particularly significant.

All along, Brody and Page had believed that she clung to her shares for the money. However, the truth was, she had no need for that little money. Her reason for holding onto her shares was simply to maintain a balance within Armstrong Corp. If she had given all her shares to Brody, considering his character, he would have readily sold them to others whenever he needed money or wanted to involve Armstrong Corp in any way, just like what happened with Horace.

However, not everyone was like Horace. If they sold her shares to someone with ulterior motives, it would likely spell the end for Armstrong Corp.

Camille was open about her thoughts and explained everything to Ayan. He understood her perspective, which was why he and Horace had come up with this agreement.

Ayan assured Camille, "Don't worry, whether Horace genuinely covets your shares or not, I have ways to ensure he won't even think about it."

Camille nodded once more. She gazed at Ayan with a calm expression and asked, "How did you persuade Horace?"

"He also wants full control over Armstrong Corp's decision-making. Given the current state of Armstrong Corp's operations, it's hard to move forward. Your father's thinking is too narrow, always focused on immediate gains without considering whether these profits will benefit or harm Armstrong Corp in the long run. Such management can't take a company to greater heights."

He had a serious expression on his face, and his deep black eyes sparkled with seriousness about his work. It was just words, but Camille could still clearly see the dedication in him.

Camille's lips curled up involuntarily, and she spoke in a low voice, "So, are you praising Horace now?"

"Isn't it normal to do so?"

"It's quite unusual to see someone whom Mr. Simpson praises." Camille teased.

Ayan said, "He is capable. Otherwise, Armstrong Corp wouldn't have recovered to this extent in such a short time."

Camille nodded lightly. She sipped her lips and said, "Since you've considered everything thoroughly, let's do it your way."

Camille agreed, and she had never doubted Ayan. She had complete trust in him when it came to this matter.

Ayan, after all, had no need to covet her small shareholding. If he had any interest in it, he wouldn't have involved Horace in the first place.

So, she totally trusted him.

Camille didn't say much, but Ayan was eager to ask, "You seem to trust me completely, without any worry that I might have ulterior motives?"

"No worries at all. You're Mr. Simpson, with the vast empire of Simpson Group. Why would you bother with my meager shares? That would be beneath you, Mr. Simpson. So, please don't entertain such thoughts; they would tarnish your reputation."

"Are you trying to flatter me?"
