My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1031

Chapter 1031 Gone Mad

Ayan curled his lips into a cold smile, his expression indifferent as he stared at the tablet screen. He instinctively leaned back in his leather chair, his voice cool and aloof. "Bullying? Well, if they think I'm bullying people, then it would be a disservice to the charges they've put on me if I don't do something."

"Are you saying you won't respond?" Kian asked in a low voice, watching the man's icy black eyes. He dared not even breathe too loudly.

Ayan squinted, the depths of his eyes shrouded in coldness. His voice rumbled, "What should I respond? Whatever I say would be inappropriate. So, I'll say nothing. The Armstrong family wants to escape responsibility and continue blaming the Wesley family, right? Let the Wesley family come forward and respond. If the Wesley family responds, I can let go of the matter from yesterday and let them deal with the Armstrong family."

He had concerns due to Camille's connection to the Armstrong family. While Ayan didn't mind the gossip or being the target of public opinion, he had to think about Camille. Though her relationship with the Armstrong family was distant, causing a big scene might lead to public backlash, and he couldn't allow that.

Ayan had to endure, using this method to pressure the Armstrong family to back off. However, he had no intention of sparing anyone else except the Armstrong family. The media had held him in high regard, thinking he was afraid of public opinion. Ayan would ensure they were thoroughly disappointed.

Ayan turned his gaze to Kian and instructed, "Personally investigate the background of this media outlet. I can't believe there's nothing we can use against them. Then send it directly to their person in charge and let them make a choice. No matter what they choose, the result will be their complete disappearance from Hance."

Kian wasn't surprised by Ayan's decision. He nodded and replied, "Alright, I'll look into it."

"By the way, have there been any developments with Eileen and Preston lately?" Ayan suddenly asked.

Given the recent events and his busy schedule, he hadn't paid much attention to Preston and Eileen. Still, he had kept tabs on them.

Kian answered, "There haven't been any developments. Eileen contacted me a few times, wanting to meet with you, probably work-related. As for Preston, it's like he's disappeared."

"Disappeared?" Ayan scoffed. "How could he disappear when he hasn't achieved his goals yet?"

Kian explained, "He's staying in a very low-profile place. As long as he doesn't show himself, it's challenging to locate him."

"Has he compensated?"

"Yeah, he has, but it wasn't transferred from his personal account. It's from an untraceable name."

"Keep a closer eye on things. Focus on the Armstrong family; now that they're spreading messages online, I know Preston well enough to believe he won't miss such a good opportunity." Ayan's face was cold, things were getting more complicated, and what Preston was going to do is still a mystery.

Grandpa seemed to be hiding something, and so did the Armstrong family.

In this case, Ayan took every step in the light, while Preston was in the dark. Ayan would be in more danger.

But at that moment, it became clear to him that the Armstrong family hadn't said anything about Elijah. Brody, who was willing to sacrifice anyone for his own good, shouldn't have reacted this way. Rather than being silent, as he is now, without much emotion or reaction, which is totally out of character for Preston.

As Ayan finished speaking, Kian promptly left the office to attend to these matters.

The Simpson family, of course, knew about this matter. Initially, Brody's divorce statement had made the Simpson family concerned. However, Ayan promptly responded, claiming it was an technical issue, so the Simpson family didn't bother Camille and Ayan or ask too many questions about it.

But early in the morning, the media released a recorded conversation through the media, and the voices in the conversation matched perfectly with the surveillance video. Even if they tried to use advanced technology, there was no way they could find a flaw.

The Simpson family listened to the complete conversation in its entirety. Due to the Old Simpson's health condition, Fletcher and Talia couldn't tell him about this. Although the Old Simpson didn't pay much attention to online matters, he had a habit of reading newspapers, and if he found out, he would worry.

So, after consulting with Talia, Fletcher decided to call Ayan, and Talia called Camille.
