My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1079

Chapter 1079: Going Mad

The man spoke at a measured pace, "Master Armstrong, I can help you regain control of Armstrong Corp, so you won't have to rely on others and play by their rules. As far as I know, Horace has collaborated with Ayan. Have you ever doubted whether Horace's confidence is related to Ayan? He's not a native of Hance City and wouldn't dare to disrespect you. Perhaps Ayan played a role in instigating this?"

The man's words struck a chord with Brody, touching on his pride and concerns. He valued his image and didn't want anyone looking down on him, let alone someone opposing him and winning.

Although Brody didn't show much emotion, his heart was racing with excitement.

The man seemed to understand Brody's thoughts, hence his straightforward words. Brody kept silent for a while, and the man's voice returned, "Master Armstrong, you may think I'm gaining more from this, but consider that some things can't be measured solely by quantity."

Brody gazed at the man, unsure of his intentions. The tension in the room was palpable, and after a lengthy pause, Brody finally responded, "I can choose to cooperate with you, but I need you to sign an agreement. If you successfully regain control of Armstrong Corp for me, it must remain unrelated to you. You can gain a foothold in Hance City through our association, but Armstrong Corp will be completely separate."

Brody had been through too much and was determined not to make any concessions.

Understanding Brody's nature, the man accepted without revealing his true intentions, "Of course, to put Master Armstrong at ease, I'm willing to cooperate. I believe in your capabilities and integrity; you won't let me work in vain."

Brody remained silent, giving the man a calm look. Their eyes met, and a connection of understanding passed between them.

Out of the blue, Brody asked, "Why did you choose to cooperate with me? We don't share any sentimental ties, and our relationship is purely transactional."

The man smiled calmly and responded, "Master Armstrong is aware of my connection with Cami, aren't you? Cami might be momentarily led astray, but I don't want her to go too far down the wrong path. I need her to turn back. So cooperating with you is akin to working with Cami. I don't have any ulterior motives. Even if it's just for Cami, I will give it my all."

Master Armstrong, initially skeptical and untrusting, found no words to doubt the sincerity of the man's intentions.

When there's a reason involved, actions are often more than just talk.

Brody nodded and extended his hand, saying, "Then let's have a fruitful partnership!"

The man reached out and shook Brody's hand, making no further delays to avoid arousing suspicion or overthinking on Brody's part.

After leaving the Armstrong's villa, the man didn't immediately depart. He sat in his car, lit a cigarette, and kept his eyes on the Armstrong's villa. The expression on his face grew cold. At that moment, a car pulled up at the villa's entrance, and Page stepped out. As he watched Page go inside, the man's gaze turned indifferent.

He finished his cigarette, pushed open the car door, and returned to the Armstrong's villa. He rang the doorbell, and the same servant who had let him in earlier promptly appeared, offering a polite greeting upon recognizing him.

The man didn't enter the villa but instead handed a black bag to the servant, saying, "Could you do me a favor?"

The servant looked puzzled.

The man remained calm and composed, explaining, "Just a small favor that won't cause you any harm or danger. As you know, I had a lengthy conversation with Master Armstrong earlier. His request is for me to communicate with you and ask you to pay close attention to Mrs. Armstrong's every move in the house. If she intends to go out, you should contact me immediately. Remember, you can't tell Master Armstrong directly about this. Because they are husband and wife, there are certain matters that can't be handled directly."

The servant stared at him, still uncertain, and asked, "Why does Master Armstrong want to watch Mrs. Armstrong so closely?"

"That's not for you to ask. Your duty is to handle the contents of this bag and keep your mouth shut. For your benefit, silence is golden. As for the Armstrong family, do you think it belongs to Master Armstrong or Mrs. Armstrong?"
