Afterward, Camille spoke softly, "Alright, I understand. I'll be back now."
The call ended here.
Camille remained silent, staring coldly at Page, who had no reaction for quite some time.
Page took the initiative, saying, "I didn't deceive you, did I? Your mother-in-law agreed to dinner at the Simpson's mansion; otherwise, I wouldn't have come to find you. Cami, you just don't believe me."
Camille didn't respond to her words, maintaining her cold demeanor. She said, "You'd better put away those ulterior motives. If you keep pushing me too hard, I can't guarantee what I will do."
Camille's threat carried a clear edge of coldness in her eyes.
Once she had spoken, Page's face stiffened, and she stopped talking. Camille didn't listen to any more of Page's words and walked past her.
The driver was already waiting on the roadside because Camille and Sienna hadn't driven here. Camille got into the car directly.
In the distance, Page followed but suggested, "Why don't you ride in my car?"
Camille ignored her.
Seeing this, Sienna gave Page a disdainful look and commented, "Mrs. Armstrong, you've already got Cami to agree to dinner at the Simpson's mansion. Do you need to ask for more? One should be content; being too greedy can make people lose what they already have."
Page didn't look too pleased, but she didn't say anything more.
The car doors were already closed, and Camille spoke to the driver, "Take me back to the Simpson's mansion."
The driver nodded, starting the car.
Camille glanced at Sienna and asked, "Do you have plans for the evening? Would it be convenient for you to have dinner with me at the Simpson's mansion?"
Sienna responded, "I'm free. Rex has a business dinner."
"Alright," Camille said, her tone low and her mood somewhat inexplicably downcast. As a result, her overall demeanor was not very cheerful.
Seeing Camille like this, Sienna felt a pang of sympathy. She took Camille's hand, leaned gently against her shoulder, and asked tenderly, "What are you thinking?"
Camille, her voice tinged with a hint of anger, replied, "I'm thinking why someone is so shameless. I know she has a great favor to me because she gave birth to me, but she didn't raise me and never showed any motherly affection. Is it really necessary to maintain such a mother-daughter relationship? She only seeks me out because she thinks I'm useful now. She doesn't care about me or my feelings. That's what I'm thinking."
Camille was indignant, and her face was full of anger.
Sienna followed along with her and continued the rant, "Exactly, there's no need to maintain this kind of mother-daughter relationship. Now she only thinks you're valuable and that's why she's bothering you. So, you don't have to be bothered by her at all. Don't feel like your refusal is being unfilial or heartless. Just be yourself and know what you are doing. Alright?"
Camille nodded in agreement, and she was genuinely thankful for having a friend like Sienna by her side. Every time she had self-doubts, Sienna could easily comfort her and keep her from overthinking or worrying too much.
Camille and Sienna's friendship was about companionship and mutual support when needed.
They arrived at the Simpson's mansion soon.
Camille had the driver wait at the Simpson's mansion, as he would need to take her and Sienna back later in the evening.
Upon Camille's arrival at the Simpson's mansion, Page had not yet shown up. This gave Camille ample time to inquire with Talia.
