My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1183

Chapter 1183: Trap

Mr. Burris just smiled, not mentioning a word about the conversation between him and Ayan last night. He simply said, "Even if he wants it, he needs the ability and the appetite to handle it."

The secretary didn't fully understand Horace's words, and his expression naturally showed confusion. However, Horace didn't provide further explanation. He looked up at the secretary with a cold expression and said, "Notify the senior executives of all departments to have a meeting!"

Although the secretary had many questions, since Horace had given the order, he naturally followed it.

Horace fulfilled Preston's request and informed the senior executives of the Simpson Group that he would also be joining the project. This news shocked and surprised all the other executives, apart from Preston and Horace themselves.

After all, Preston and Horace had been at odds before, and considering Horace's opposition to Brody, who Preston worked for, everyone was confused about what was happening now.

While everyone felt puzzled, they didn't inquire too much and simply nodded in response.

This meeting was only to announce the matter and was, of course, very brief, dispersing in less than ten minutes.

Although it was short, Preston was extremely satisfied. He wasted no time and immediately went to the museum to find Jenson.

However, he was informed, "Sorry, Mr. Evans is on a business trip and is not in Hance City."

"He's on a business trip? Then who is in charge of the Armstrong Corp's collaboration project with the museum?"

"The decision-making power for this project has been fully handed back to the museum itself because Mr. Evans has yet to find a suitable partner. Therefore, the museum has taken back the decision-making authority."

This was explained by Jenson's assistant, and his words were unlikely to be false. However, Preston didn't believe it. He inquired with several people and finally obtained the same result: Jenson had gone on a business trip two days ago.

Preston was extremely annoyed. He went directly to the museum's personnel, but they didn't pay him any attention and practically ignored him.

Faced with this situation, Preston was completely at a loss. He didn't know what to do.

Quintus saw his state and expressed his concern, saying, "Mr. Walker, what should we do now? If we can't reach Mr. Evans and he's not in Hance City, then we have no chance with this project!"

Preston already knew this, and his face turned serious. His expression was particularly grim.

With a stern face and intense emotions brewing within, he didn't know whom to vent his frustration towards.

Back in the car, he sat there motionless, not allowing the car to move.

He tightly pursed his lips, maintaining silence, while the coldness in his eyes grew more apparent. After a long while, he finally spoke, "I always feel like there's more to this situation, like everything is a trap."

However, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

"I always feel like something is strange, as if I'm being calculated by someone."

This feeling persisted for a long time until Quintus' phone slowly rang at that moment.
