My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1213

Chapter 1213: Graceful Appearance

Horace's words didn't offend anyone. He simply expressed his perspective as an onlooker regarding Mr. Nores's proposal. Naturally, this didn't give Mr. Nores or Ayan any reason to object.

Instead, Mr. Nores followed up on Horace's words, explaining further, "Indeed, my intention is to strengthen the cooperative relationship with Mr. Simpson. However, Mr. Simpson shouldn't feel any pressure. Primarily, I'm doing this for myself. Although it has been passed down through generations, we have never found a suitable opportunity to sell it. It just so happens that I want to take advantage of Mr. Simpson's charity event. I hope Mr. Simpson can give me a chance."

Ayan remained silent, his expression showing no emotions. It was unclear what he was thinking.

Observing Ayan's reaction, Camille instinctively reached out and tugged at Ayan's sleeve, their eyes meeting. Only then did Ayan calmly say, "If Mr. Nores has made up his mind, then he should coordinate with my secretary. I've entrusted the company's team to handle this auction. Everything should proceed according to proper procedures."

Ayan's final mention of following proper procedures was a reminder to Mr. Nores that even if they discussed it privately and the diamond was so valuable, they still needed to abide by the rules. Every item at the auction carries responsibility and risks, even if it is organized by the Simpson Group. There can be no room for carelessness, considering the immense value of each auction item.

Mr. Nores nodded promptly in response, saying, "Of course."

Ayan's apparent concession excited Mr. Nores even more. However, only Camille knew that Ayan hadn't truly given in. Instead, she sensed a reluctance to accept Mr. Nores's proposal.

But it wasn't the right time to ask about it. Camille planned to discuss it with Ayan on their way back.

Since everyone had finished eating, they moved from the dining table to the nearby sofa to drink tea and chat. Mr. Nores personally brewed the tea, bypassing the tea artist. Camille wasn't particularly interested in tea, but the dishes tonight suited her taste, so she felt quite full and planned to take a stroll outside.

As Camille stood up to leave the private room, Alicia also got up and followed suit.

Standing at the end of the corridor, Camille gazed out of the floor-to-ceiling windows at the night lights outside. From this position, she could see the riverside of Flento City, and the night view was quite beautiful with its captivating lights.

Camille was about to raise her phone to take a picture and send it to Sienna. She also planned to tell Sienna about her conversation with Mario at the dinner table tonight. However, before she could take the photo, she heard Alicia's voice from behind.

"Camille!"

Alicia called out her name directly, her eyes filled with a provocative gaze as she looked at Camille.

Camille turned around, meeting Alicia's unfriendly gaze. With a hint of coldness, she asked, "What's the matter?"

Alicia continued to approach Camille, finally stopping a couple of steps away from her.

She was wearing high heels today, so naturally, she was slightly taller than Camille, who was wearing flat shoes. Her overall appearance exuded a strong aura, making her quite imposing.

However, Camille showed no signs of retreat or fear. Instead, she lifted her gaze slightly and looked at Alicia.

She didn't speak, and Camille naturally didn't take the initiative to speak either. So the two of them just stood there, silently locking eyes with each other.
