Brody couldn't pretend he didn't understand the implications of these words. His expression turned instantly serious, and he fixed Camille with a cold, displeased stare. But Camille was unfazed and just looked at him with indifference.
Without waiting for Brody to speak, Camille continued, "You can deny it, but the fact remains that I don't know what you and your wife are trying to get from me. But if you attempt to threaten me by involving someone I care about, I won't hesitate to cause chaos."
Camille's face remained stern, and her eyes were resolute. This was not mere talk.
Normally, as a daughter, she would never say these things to her own parents, but from Camille's perspective, she had reached her limit.
The Armstrong family had been unfeeling toward her repeatedly, and she could bear the humiliation by herself. However, she couldn't allow the people she cared about to suffer alongside her.
Camille thought about all this, lips tightly pursed, her expression growing colder. She turned to Brody and said, "Of course, you can be indifferent to me exposing your secrets, but when the unsavory truth comes out, it won't just be you who's affected."
Perhaps Camille's words struck a chord in Brody's heart, as he finally reacted. His dark eyes, filled with displeasure, were no longer cold. He asked in a deep voice, "Did your mother tell you these things?"
Camille gazed at Brody indifferently and replied, "You can't deny that your relationship isn't as harmonious as it seems on the surface, can you? There are things that I wouldn't have known if no one had told me. If I did find out, in our relationship, I wouldn't have any interest in coming to tell you, would I?"
Brody, with a stern face, didn't continue this topic. He asked Camille, "What conditions do you want?"
"Don't worry; I don't want anything conflicting with your interests. I only hope she won't bother me anymore. I also hope that none of you will bother me or the people from the Simpson family. To you, we're dispensable anyway, so whether I have any contact with you doesn't matter. This condition only benefits you."
Camille's tone was devoid of emotion. In a place Brody couldn't see, her hands were clenched into fists.
Brody didn't respond immediately and couldn't provide an answer right away. He maintained his silence, seemingly contemplating and hesitating.
Camille added, "I chose to talk to you, believing you to be more rational. I hope you'll think carefully because my condition doesn't harm you in any way."
"She knows about my affairs, how much?"
"She probably knows most of what you've done," Camille replied.
Camille was unsure how much Brody had concealed from her, so she couldn't be certain how much Page knew.
After all, both of them had hidden so much from each other. They hadn't been open or honest, especially not with her.
Camille's words were somewhat vague, so Brody couldn't determine a clear answer.
The atmosphere grew increasingly quiet. Sienna spoke up, "Master Armstrong, if I were you, I'd agree. You just need to keep Mrs. Armstrong in check. If she teams up with Cami, have you considered the consequences?"
Brody paused for a moment, carefully considering Sienna's words. He seemed to anticipate the unfavorable consequences, his expression growing visibly unpleasant.
He asked, "How can I be sure if you genuinely want to cooperate with me, or if she sent you here to deceive me?"
Camille chuckled, "I told you, I'm not that bored. You also know how she's been relentlessly bothering me lately, right? I find it annoying, and I don't want this situation to continue. I'm eager to free myself from her harassment. If I had really chosen to cooperate with her, I wouldn't be standing here now."
Brody fell into silence again, his expression dark as ink.
He squinted and thought deeply for nearly half a minute before he finally spoke slowly, "Fine, I can help you restrain her from bothering you, but can you guarantee that she won't reveal my secrets?"
"As long as you're cautious right now, as long as you don't leave her any evidence, she'll only be making baseless claims. If she does expose everything, I'll stand as your witness."
