My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1170

Chapter 1170: All out

"Divorce?" Preston's eyes narrowed slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips. He remarked, "Being a grandmother and still thinking about divorce?"

Brody, looking somewhat helpless, responded, "Ah, family matters should not be disclosed. Let's drop the subject."

However, Preston had no intention of ending the conversation. He kept his gaze fixed on Brody, and with a probing tone, he said, "Mr. Armstrong, sometimes yielding to the other party can make it difficult for them to figure out your intentions. It's the only way to calm things down."

Brody paused for a moment, not quite understanding what Preston meant. He asked, "What do you mean?"

"Mrs. Armstrong has too much free time. She doesn't quite understand your struggles. So, I think it's necessary to let Mrs. Armstrong remember her place. What do you think?"

Brody didn't respond immediately, maintaining a calm but somewhat indifferent expression. He seemed genuinely pondering Preston's suggestion.

To avoid any further suspicion or questions from Brody, Preston chose not to elaborate.

However, Brody found Preston's idea intriguing and expressed interest. Looking at Preston, he asked, "Are you suggesting I agree to her divorce request?"

"Exactly."

"But in a divorce, I'd have to split half of my assets."

"Just agree to the divorce; it doesn't mean it has to happen. You agree, and the one who ultimately doesn't want the divorce is her. It could help you resolve temporary troubles and keep her quiet for a while. It's a win-win solution, and who knows, it might even improve the relationship between you and Mrs. Armstrong."

Preston's analysis and suggestion intrigued Brody. He thought it was a good idea, and he smiled appreciatively, saying, "If your plan works, I'll be grateful. Let's go with this if she continues to make a scene next time."

Preston nodded without saying much.

After discussing Brody and Page's situation, Brody continued, "Did Mr. Walker come to see me for something specific?"

It was working hours, and Preston wouldn't have come without a reason.

Their eyes met, and Preston sat upright. He said, "Indeed, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Alright, go ahead. What is it?"

"Jenson called me. The museum project is set to officially begin these next few days."

"Good news. Once the project officially starts, I'll host a project launch banquet in the name of Armstrong Corp," said Mr. Armstrong. He saw it as an opportunity for celebration, but it was also a chance for publicity and gaining recognition for Armstrong Corp.

This was not just Brody's plan; Preston was well aware of it too.

But considering the vast difference in their positions, Preston couldn't voice any objections.

Preston maintained a serious expression and didn't immediately respond to Brody's words. He squinted slightly, his eyes revealing a cold and indifferent gaze. He remained silent, not uttering a word until Brody sensed something amiss and prompted, "What's wrong, Mr. Walker?"
