My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1027

Chapter 1027: Guilt

Brody's thoughts were evident to the Wesley family, thanks to Ayan's reminder.

Mr. Wesley took a deep breath as he examined Brody's expression. He addressed Brody, "Since you think we're afraid of losing face, what about you? Isn't the Armstrong family concerned? If this matter gets exposed, do you believe you'll be able to walk away unscathed? You sold your own daughter to us, even though her relationship with her ex-husband is still good. But for the sake of money, you insist on doing this."

Brody's face stiffened, and there was a hint of indifference in his eyes. But soon, he feigned composure and said, "If you want to do it this way, then do it. Do you think I'm afraid? Ayan has already been implicated in this, and Armstrong Corp is on the brink of bankruptcy. I've paid such a high price. Now you want me to refund your money? That's impossible. You can either take the money or my life. If you can take it, then take it!"

Brody was now shameless. Once the money was in his pocket, he had no intention of giving it up easily.

Both parties couldn't come to an agreement, and threats were exchanged. The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, leading to a heated argument, with Page joining in.

If it weren't for the presence of bodyguards, a physical confrontation might have erupted. What they didn't know was that even if a fight broke out, the bodyguards wouldn't intervene. Ayan had instructed them to follow the Wesley family and monitor whether they met the Armstrong family, not to protect the Wesley family. Therefore, they had no obligation to intervene.

Finally, the Armstrong family used the excuse of trespassing on private property to drive away the Wesley family. Since it wasn't in Chesen, the Wesley family didn't dare to push their luck and had to let the Armstrong family have their way.

After leaving the Armstrong's villa, Mr. Wesley exchanged glances with Mrs. Wesley and then looked at the bodyguards. "It's quite late. You should go back for now. We need to find a hotel to rest."

"Mr. Simpson said that until this matter is resolved, we will follow both of you. So wherever you go, we go," the bodyguard replied coldly.

Mrs. Wesley grew anxious. "You're monitoring us, but we also need our own private space."

The bodyguards remained firm and disregarded Mrs. Wesley's words. They had no choice but to comply.

As for accommodations, they had to cover the expenses themselves, including the fees for the bodyguards. This incident had left them losing both the money and a potential daughter-in-law.

Back at the hotel, Mr. and Mrs. Wesley struggled with their decision. Mrs. Wesley asked, "What should we do?"

"Ayan is more important to us than the Armstrong family. Since we can't offend Ayan, we'll have to offend the Armstrong family. The Armstrong family is already in the wrong. If they give us the money, we'll be even, otherwise, this won't end well," Mr. Wesley said with a snort.

Mrs. Wesley was somewhat uncertain. "What do you mean?"

"The Armstrong family values their reputation, right? Let's forget about that reputation and see who loses face in the end."

Mr. Wesley had already made up his mind while dealing with the Armstrong family. Since things had reached this point, nobody was going to have it easy.

The bodyguards had been keeping a close eye on Mr. and Mrs. Wesley. After returning to the hotel, they continued to watch over them. They reported what was going on to Kian, who was currently driving Ayan back to Franklin Bay. Ayan, sitting in the back seat, listened attentively, with every word clear to him.

After ending the call, Kian looked at Ayan through the rearview mirror and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Simpson, if the Wesley family starts to make a move, it's likely that the Armstrong family will come after you. Should we find a reason to temporarily leave?"

"Why should I leave? The Armstrong family is the one looking for me, not the other way around," Ayan chuckled softly. He looked out the window with a cold, indifferent gaze and said, "If the Armstrong family wants to dig their own grave, then let them. When the Wesley family has no more use for them, they'll let them go. After they return to Chesen City, we can spread this news and prevent more people from falling into their trap."
