My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1112

Chapter 1112: Equality

"Of course!" Brody answered without hesitation, adding, "It's not that I disagree, but this proposal isn't a good idea. Both our families have already attracted too much attention. Right now, I just want things to be calm and low-key. If there's anything, we can discuss it quietly. There's no need to draw attention this way. I don't want to be the subject of gossip. What do you think, Ayan?"

"You make a valid point. Too much gossip isn't good. However, facts are facts, no matter how much we try to conceal them. Don't you agree?" Ayan smiled lightly, his eyes piercing as if trying to see through Brody.

Brody paused momentarily, his eyes freezing. Eventually, under Ayan's unwavering gaze, he nodded reluctantly, saying, "That's true."

"If you think there's no need for such verification, then I hope you can treat Camille better."

"Yeah, I understand." Brody nodded without hesitation.

Ayan, with a meaningful smile, left Brody feeling uneasy. Brody had no idea what Ayan was thinking, and this uncertainty left him with an unsettling feeling.

Ayan didn't linger in the Armstrong family home. After saying what he needed to, he left promptly. Brody watched him leave, and once Ayan was gone, Brody stood in the garden for a long time without any movement or reaction, lost in the words Ayan had spoken.

He fell into silence and confusion, eventually picking up his phone to make a call.

The call was answered quickly, but the tone was unpleasant. "Why are you calling me? Do you think making a call will make me forgive you? I'm telling you, you're getting more and more out of line. Just because you're with Preston, do you think you can do whatever you want? Don't think you're the most powerful, you..."

"Shut up!" Brody ordered in a harsh tone, silencing the other end. "Come back immediately. Don't make me repeat myself. I have some questions to ask you."

Without waiting for Page's response, Brody abruptly ended the call.

Due to Ayan's visit, Brody's mind was in disarray, forcing him to reach out to Page proactively.

Similarly, Ayan, who also originated from the Armstrong family, directly called Kian. He inquired, "Any updates from Flento City? The Bill family is aware that our people are investigating. As per your instructions, we divided our forces into two groups, but the covert team is hesitant to act, fearing the Bill family might find out. So, there's no significant progress at the moment."

"Try to contact the older staff from the Bill family; they usually spill information. Also, apart from my grandfather, were there any other associates of the old Armstrong that you're aware of?"

Kian hesitated, "I'm not entirely sure, but Elijah might know. He has been working for the Armstrong family for many years, so he should have some insights into the old Armstrong's connections. Would you like me to inquire through Elijah?"

Since most of the old Armstrong's caretakers had retired, finding these individuals was proving challenging. After the passing of the old Armstrong, generous retirement funds led the caretakers to leave their positions one after another.

Elijah used to work directly under Brody, handling not only Armstrong Corp matters but also many miscellaneous tasks for the Armstrong family. During that time, Brody placed unconditional trust in Elijah, which led to no inquiries into Elijah's responsibilities after he encountered trouble. This remains a lingering question.

Kian's suggestion momentarily silenced Ayan. Currently, Elijah seemed to be the person most familiar with the Armstrong family. So, Ayan agreed to Kian's proposal and went alone to the prison. Having informed them in advance, Elijah was already waiting in the visitation room when Ayan arrived.

Elijah had aged significantly, his face pale and weary, his eyes unusually vacant.

Seeing Ayan, his emotions seemed a bit stirred, but he maintained a calm demeanor and asked, "Mr. Simpson, what brings you here?"
