My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1088

Chapter 1088: Exposure

Ayan's face immediately darkened, and he said, "Alright, I'll contact Dr. Ellis after I return home tonight regarding my grandfather's hospitalization. Please prepare in advance. I don't want this news to leak, and I don't want anyone bothering him."

"I understand," Kian nodded. With Ayan having many documents to handle, Kian left to contact Brody.

Brody's reaction was somewhat agitated, which meant that Preston was completely unaware of Brody's actions. Brody was genuinely concerned that Ayan might inform Preston, so he personally called Ayan to emphasize that this should remain a secret. He was willing to do anything if Ayan agreed.

Ayan found Brody's readiness to cooperate amusing. He asked, "Why are you cooperating with Preston? Given Preston's current status, he can't offer you any significant benefits."

"He's willing to handle the Wesley family for me and ensure they stop bothering me," Brody replied.

"Did he deliver on his promise?"

"Yes, he did. The Wesley family's people have already returned to Chesen City," Brody responded honestly.

Brody reluctantly cooperated with Ayan, even though he didn't want to. He understood that Ayan held a powerful leverage over him, and if this secret were to be exposed, all his efforts would be in vain. He was determined not to allow that to happen. Even if it meant facing public scrutiny, it was not the right time to reveal everything. He would wait for Preston to remove Horace from the picture before exposing it all. So, for now, Brody had to be completely honest with Ayan, knowing that Ayan was not someone to be trifled with.

Ayan just chuckled and said, "So what methods did he use to make the Wesley family people stop pursuing you and go back to Chesen City?"

Brody admitted, "Ayan, I genuinely don't know that. So I can't answer your question."

"I can overlook this matter since it has no connection to Camille or the Simpson family. I have only one request: whatever you do, as long as it doesn't involve Camille or the Simpson family, I won't intervene or meddle."

"I understand your point. Don't worry; I'll keep my word."

"That's good enough."

With a faint smile, Ayan ended the call.

After throwing his phone away, Brody leaned back in his seat. His expression was cold and apathetic. He had just returned from Armstrong Corp, experienced intense confrontations, and immediately had to call Ayan. He felt like a sandwiched middleman, and no one seemed to consider his feelings.

Brody, as the sandwiched middleman, was about to endure much more than this. His obedient attitude and the lack of any elevated tone in his conversation with Ayan were all for a reason that only Page knew. Thus, when Page overheard the call and rushed over as soon as Brody finished his conversation, she immediately confronted him.

Page glared at Brody and interrogated him, "Are you cooperating with Ayan? Are you planning to team up with him against me?" Page's intense questioning showed no sign of tenderness, and the recent events had made her appear entirely unfamiliar to Brody.

Brody was already annoyed, and seeing Page like this, he had no interest in answering her. He didn't even want to say a word to her.

Brody's instinctual response was to get up and leave the living room to go upstairs. However, Page immediately stepped forward to block him. She said, "Why won't you answer me? Did you agree to something with Ayan? Are you planning to let Ayan help you deal with me? Let me tell you, Brody, if you dare to cooperate with Ayan against me, then it's time for us to settle our scores. I'll reveal all the hidden secrets of the Armstrong family to everyone. Then we'll see who comes out worse, you or the Armstrong family?"

Page's words transformed Brody's gaze into a sharp and piercing one. He lowered his voice to ensure the household staff didn't overhear, saying, "Are you out of your mind? Just look at yourself right now. You're no different from a shrew. Can't you maintain your dignity? Do you think that by revealing the Armstrong family's secrets, you'll escape responsibility? Let me tell you, you won't. If you expose the Armstrong family's secrets, you'll bear the brunt of it, and we're all tied together on the same rope. No one will escape responsibility!"

"I'm not maintaining my dignity? So, you're saying you're rejecting me now? Is that it?"
