Page was taken aback by Brody's expression; Brody's demeanor had an eerie effect on her, making her feel a shiver down her spine and a faint sense of dread.
She pursed her lips and spoke softly, "Won't this approach be more harm than good? What if Ayan manages the trouble well and later comes back to trouble us? Armstrong Corp has already suffered once; we can't afford another catastrophe. So..."
"I have my plan. We have to do it this way for now. If we don't make this a big deal, do you think Armstrong Corp will remain unscathed? Our collaboration with Armstrong Corp has been forced to terminate. Then we could only choose to declare bankruptcy. Those companies who canceled contracts with us may reconsider, taking into account public pressure. This is my way to get Horace completely out of the company. If we don't, he'll always be a threat," Brody sternly interrupted Page, showing no approval for any of Page's thoughts. To him, his decisions were the most vital and correct.
Brody's loud reprimand immediately silenced Page, who didn't dare utter another word.
In company matters, she had no say. She could only ponder silently, and if things ever took a turn for the worse, who would Brody find to shoulder the blame?
Once this thought lodged itself in Page's mind, it was unstoppable. Her expression grew increasingly grave, and she didn't hear a word Brody said, until he impatiently exclaimed, "Did you even hear what I said?"
Page then snapped back to reality and looked at Brody. Brody's eyes were filled with anger and irritation, and she asked softly, "What did you say?"
Brody snorted, "I've been busy working for the Armstrong family, and you're sitting idle. Let me remind you, while I deal with this, you should find a way to get Grace back. Without her assistance, Ayan's methods are well-known to both of us. So, find her sooner rather than later."
Page nodded silently, agreeing to Brody's request.
The two remained silent as they reached the hospital. Page's earlier remarks had already appeared online.
This incident was gaining immense attention, not just on forums and Twitter, but also on television.
Camille had already come to terms with the situation, but upon seeing Page being bombarded with questions by reporters, she grew agitated again.
Clearly, the Armstrong family was doing this to cut off any response from Ayan. After all, Brody had indeed been significantly affected by Armstrong Corp's actions before, causing him to be hospitalized for an extended period. Even though he recovered, his health was never the same as before, which led him to stay away from company matters and public appearances for a long time.
Now, with his health deteriorating again due to this incident, it was undeniably an attempt to convey that it was all because of Ayan, and Ayan had brought them to this point.
No matter how talented Ayan was, facing the pressure of public opinion, he still had to pay a significant price.
Camille watched Page's interview repeatedly. She couldn't control her emotions and, in frustration, tossed her phone onto the coffee table. She pointed at the continuing interview on her phone and couldn't help but exclaim, "Why are they slinging mud like this?"
Sienna couldn't find the right words to comfort Camille. So much had happened in just one morning, leaving her speechless.
If Sienna didn't know the exact relationship between Ayan and Camille, she would have suspected that Camille might have been blackmailed by Ayan.
Sienna pressed the pause button on her device and turned to Camille, asking, "Would you like to go check on Ayan?"
Camille remained silent for a moment and then shook her head. "Going over now would only make him busier."
She thought that if she went to see Ayan in her current state of mind, he'd have to spare time to console her. She didn't want to burden him or add to his stress.
Camille bit her lip and spoke softly, "What can I do to expose their lies and prevent them from spreading false information? I can't just let them run rampant like this."
She was genuinely worried, but the more she fretted, the more her mind drew a blank. She could only look to Sienna and place her hopes in her friend.
