My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1169

Chapter 1169: Fish Out of Water

They maintained silence for quite some time, and Preston showed no intention of speaking. Eventually, Jenson took the initiative, saying, "Mr. Walker, do you understand what I mean? Take some time to consider it. Give me an answer tomorrow. I need to respond to the museum's higher-ups since the project is about to begin, and we can't afford to delay."

After Jenson's words, Preston just uttered a disinterested "Hmm" and hung up the phone on his own.

Preston, with a stern face, placed his phone heavily on the desk. Quintus, standing nearby, observed with some unease and asked, "Mr. Walker, has something happened?"

Preston sneered coldly, "They want to cut off my retreat!"

Quintus looked at Preston's icy expression, filled with obvious coldness and anger. He tentatively asked, "Mr. Walker, you..."

"Get the car ready. We're heading to the Armstrong family."

Preston directly cut off Quintus's words and stood up from his desk.

There was absolutely no way he would give up on the museum project. Having finally secured this project, he couldn't let it slip away easily. Everything he was doing now was for this project. In the future, he had to rely on this project to establish a foothold for Armstrong Corp and gain Brody's trust.

So, he couldn't allow any accidents with this project.

Preston spent the entire journey consolidating his thoughts and intentions. His face remained cold and determined.

Upon reaching the Armstrong family's entrance, he didn't immediately open the car door. Instead, he sat in the car, maintaining calm and silence, organizing the words he would say and preparing Sienna for the upcoming conversation. No matter what Brody said, he had to make Brody agree based on the benefits the project would bring to Armstrong Corp and Brody personally.

He took a deep breath and then got out of the car.

He looked indifferently at Quintus and said, "Wait here."

Quintus nodded lightly, sitting in the car, waiting for Preston.

Preston was a frequent visitor to the Armstrong family, and the servants were familiar with him. Moreover, he had arranged his informants within the Armstrong family. So, as soon as he reached the door, someone immediately opened it.

Preston asked in a low voice, "Is Mr. Armstrong at home?"

The servant quickly nodded, "Yes, Mrs. Armstrong is also at home."

Preston nodded subtly and then walked in.

As soon as he stepped inside, he heard Brody and Page arguing. It was about Brody's lack of responsibility towards the Armstrong family and the prolonged delay in repaying Page's various credit cards, leading to a heated quarrel.

Brody remained indifferent throughout, as if he didn't care about Page's insults and accusations.

Faced with Brody's lack of response, Page became even more furious. The argument in the living room grew louder.
