My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1013

Chapter 1013: Helpless

When Camille decided to leave the tricky situation to Ayan, Ayan was in a meeting with Mr. Bell.

Both of them were seated in a conference room, and Mr. Bell was telling Ayan, "I find your hints very reasonable, and I'm grateful for your suggestions. Otherwise, I would still be under his thumb."

Ayan merely smiled faintly and replied, "It was a small effort, nothing to worry about."

Mr. Bell continued, "Even though it was a small effort, it helped me immensely. I'm grateful that you were willing to offer your suggestions. Otherwise, I can't imagine what my future would look like."

Ayan's attitude remained unchanged, showing no additional emotions.

Mr. Bell then discussed his plans for the future. He intended to come clean about the situation through his official international accounts and media outlets he had been cooperating with. He explained his reasons for choosing this timing, emphasizing that it wouldn't affect his relationship with Mrs. Bell or the various charitable projects they were involved in.

Mr. Bell was completely transparent, as he couldn't afford any concealment at this crucial moment. He needed someone to analyze the situation and provide the most honest advice.

He looked directly at Ayan and asked, "Ayan, what do you think of my plans? Are they feasible? How credible is this approach? Will it minimize the damage and harm to me and her?"

Mr. Bell awaited Ayan's response with his gaze unwavering.

Ayan, with his mild gaze meeting Mr. Bell's eyes, softly said, "Honesty is more effective than any public relations strategy. Your reputation outside is excellent, and I believe people will be understanding. After all, your personal life and work are separate matters. As long as you ensure that your divorce won't affect your previous or upcoming projects, there shouldn't be significant opposition. Even if there is, it's likely just resistance to change."

Mr. Bell nodded, and his worries lessened a bit.

He looked at Ayan again and said, "The news will be announced tomorrow morning. If the reaction isn't favorable, I might need to rely on the Simpson Group's PR team."

Ayan agreed, "Kian will instruct the PR department to assist you and coordinate if necessary. They will discuss any appearances or public relations strategies with you in advance."

"Thank you," Mr. Bell replied.

Ayan glanced at his watch and noticed that half an hour had passed. He had another meeting to attend, so he asked, "After the divorce news comes out tomorrow, how do you think I should handle the situation with Mr. Mikkola?"

Mr. Bell's expression tightened, and he let out a silent sigh. He said, "This is actually the second matter I wanted to discuss with you today. I don't know how to handle the issue concerning him. If I were to confront him directly, would it cause problems for our future work?"

Ayan chuckled, "Are you still thinking of maintaining a peaceful coexistence? I understand that you don't want to offend anyone, but sometimes certain situations force you to make choices. If you choose to disclose your marital status, it will leave Mr. Mikkola with no leverage over you. After making such a decision, do you really think you can continue to cooperate with him?"

Mr. Bell nodded in agreement, saying, "I understand your point. However, I've had previous collaborations with him, and he used to be different. So, I still can't figure out why he suddenly changed."

Ayan found it somewhat astonishing that someone with extensive experience and a high position in the charity world, like Mr. Bell, could say such words.

So, Ayan remained silent for quite some time before speaking up. He said, "Sometimes, delving too deeply into things can lead to confusion. It's better not to overthink and just make decisions based on the current situation."

Mr. Bell nodded, showing a hint of reluctance. Ayan's words were a tough pill for him to swallow.
