My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1025

Chapter 1025: Bankruptcy

Naturally, neither of them had taken anything. After all, they had no connection to it whatsoever.

Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley were well aware of this fact, but even in this situation, they wanted to make one last effort. Mr. Wesley asked, "Mr. Simpson, as the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. My wife and I are not from Hance, and we had no idea the Armstrong family would have the audacity to do this. Now, the Armstrong family isn't just bullying us but also you."

"This is between me and the Armstrong family. I'll naturally seek justice for myself, so you don't need to provoke me. There are only two options for you now. Either leave, and this incident will be your price for ignorance. If you can't stomach this, there's another way."

Ayan spoke calmly, and his cold demeanor remained evident. He spoke with an underlying temptation that left the Wesley family eager to ask, "What's the other way?"

"Of course, it's finding the one who took the money and deceived you," Ayan suggested plainly.

This statement couldn't have been clearer. He was almost telling the Wesley family to settle this with the Armstrong family, to find Brody and Page.

After all, every wrong has a source and every debt has a debtor, right?

Ayan's insinuations were not lost on the Wesley family. However, they had their reservations and didn't want to confront the Armstrong family directly, even though they understood that Ayan might not be someone to trifle with. This was Hance City, and while Ayan was a force to be reckoned with, the Armstrong family also had its influence. Armstrong Corp had been a long-standing business in Hance, and it had substantial background and financial resources.

Nevertheless, these were the Wesley family's thoughts and concerns. Even if Ayan told them that Armstrong Corp was no longer a force to be reckoned with, they still couldn't bring themselves to believe it completely.

Both parties fell silent, and the atmosphere grew increasingly quiet. The stillness was almost palpable, as if one could hear the very heartbeat of Hance City.

Ayan wasn't in a hurry. He beckoned to Kian and calmly said, "Since Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley need some time to think, let's offer them some tea to ponder over it."

Kian nodded and promptly had tea brought in for both of them. In a voice that was neither too light nor too heavy, he whispered to Ayan, "Mr. Simpson, after you instructed me to terminate all cooperation with Armstrong Corp, many of their partnerships have started to unravel. Armstrong Corp is currently in deep water, and they won't be able to hold out for much longer."

Ayan nodded lightly, his gaze resting on Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley, who were now fully focused on Kian as he reported to Ayan.

With a faint smile, Ayan remarked, "If you two have any doubts about the situation, feel free to call the Armstrong family right now and tell them that Camille has been taken away by me. Listen to how the Armstrong family responds to you."

Mr. Wesley was torn, while Mrs. Wesley whispered a reminder, "Should we make the call? After all, we're practically left with nothing now!"

Mr. Wesley narrowed his eyes, his thoughts unclear. He remained silent, his expression darkening as if it had frozen in place, and his brows furrowed deeply.

Ayan didn't mind their reactions or expressions. He simply said, "I'm afraid the Armstrong family has already planned for this. They're keeping you silent by making you think you can't approach them, and even if things go awry, you won't dare to ask the Armstrong family for that money. In the end, you're the ones taking the loss in this matter, while the Armstrong family is the one reaping the benefits. Regardless of the outcome, they stand to gain."

Mr. Wesley fell completely silent because every word Ayan had spoken had struck a chord. What Ayan had said was exactly what they were thinking at this moment.

Mr. Wesley remained silent for a long time before looking at Ayan and saying, "Mr. Simpson, are you suggesting that I go after the Armstrong family? What do you hope to gain from this?"
