My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1164

Chapter 1164: Suggestion

"Have you forgotten their attitude towards you? Don't you want to continue investigating?" Preston seized the moment and said, "Cami, now that I work at Armstrong Corp, although I have a cooperative relationship with your father, it's only temporary. It can dissolve at any time. If you have any plans regarding the Armstrong family, just hint at it or tell me directly. I'll give my all to help you vent your frustrations built up over the years."

Preston spoke while keeping his eyes on Camille, eager to gauge her reaction after his proposition.

However, Camille remained motionless, displaying no emotion on her face. Her eyes were calm, as if this suggestion failed to provoke any response from her. She looked at Preston and calmly said, "I don't need you to do that, and I don't have to. I have no demands on the Armstrong family. Whatever the Armstrong family chooses to do is their business, and it doesn't concern me. I'm not interested in these matters, so you don't have to do anything for me, Preston. I hope you understand that. Is that clear?"

This was the second time Preston suggested taking action against the Armstrong family for her sake, but Camille never harbored thoughts of retaliating against them. She didn't want Preston to misunderstand her intentions or take actions in her name.

Camille's serious and sincere words caught Preston off guard for a moment. He nodded lightly and said, "I understand."

Camille intended to say more but decided against it. Saying anything more at this point might not be beneficial.

Preston shifted the topic to Horace, showing curiosity. "Cami, I heard from your dad that you sold your shares in Armstrong Corp to Horace?"

This wasn't a secret, so Preston finding out was neither surprising nor strange to Camille.

She nodded, providing a straightforward response, "Yes, I sold them to him."

Preston furrowed his brows slightly and asked in a low voice, "Why did you do that? Although Armstrong Corp may not be ideal now, I've planned several significant projects for the future. After the collaboration on the museum project, there will be many more to come. This is a good start. Cami, what you did is a loss, and it makes Armstrong Corp susceptible to Horace's interference."

"Horace is the executive at Armstrong Corp. His decisions should be right, shouldn't they?"

"I know it's the right decision, but your shares contribute to more obstruction from Horace. Continuing like this, as Armstrong Corp grows, I'm afraid Horace will develop second thoughts. If it goes on like this, it will be challenging to recover when the time comes." Preston squinted at Camille, hoping she would take his words to heart and immediately communicate with Horace.

Camille fell into a brief silence. She pressed her lips together, offering no response. In her heart, questions arose regarding Preston's words.

Their eyes met in the next moment, and Preston continued, "Cami, I'm not saying all this to make you do something. I just hope you'll think about it a bit more. Because Horace isn't truly on our side. His thoughts are too complex, and we can't see through them. Moreover, when he initially came to Hance City, it was mainly to buy shares of Armstrong Corp. I'm concerned that he might have some hidden agenda with the Armstrong family."

"Hidden agenda with the Armstrong family?" Camille felt surprised and shocked.

Preston clarified, "What I mean is, could they be colluding to deceive you, intentionally trying to take away your shares?"

Camille was completely stunned.

Her thoughts seemed to freeze in the midst of his words. However, she didn't stay silent for long. She gently shook her head and said in a low voice, "That's unlikely."

"Do you trust Horace so much? How do you know it's not a possibility? Cami, don't forget, Horace is in collaboration with the Armstrong family, and they've always been eyeing your shares. If the Armstrong family convinces Horace or offers him some benefits, do you still think he wouldn't cooperate with them?"

"It's just a small share. I don't think Horace would go to such lengths."
