My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1215

Chapter 1215: Attachment

Naturally, Alicia was unwilling, but Mr. Nores looked at her with a cold face full of displeasure. Only Alicia herself understood the meaning behind that gaze.

After a few seconds of standoff, Camille spoke indifferently, "Mr. Nores, you're being too polite. I can't accept Miss Nores' apology. Miss Nores is a powerful woman who can provide full support to her future husband in his career. This is probably the dream life every opportunist man desires, right? Of course, Miss Nores has the ability and the strong backing of the Nores family, unlike me, a woman who only knows how to cling to men. After all, I can't offer any help, and instead, I can only keep asking for things. Compared to the versatile Miss Nores, I truly feel inferior!"

Camille sighed with a guilty expression on her face, but there was no trace of remorse in her eyes, only a cold indifference. Her gaze towards Alicia became increasingly sharp, eventually turning into a mocking smirk.

Alicia's face grew uglier in response to Camille's words, but with Ayan present, she couldn't afford to have any emotional outbursts. She could only lower her head, seemingly contemplating how to deal with this situation.

At that moment, Mr. Nores' voice rang out again. He furrowed his brows, his face growing increasingly serious, and said, "Alicia, did you hear what I said? Apologize to Mrs. Simpson right now, immediately!"

Before Alicia could speak, Mr. Nores quickly turned to Ayan and Camille, saying, "Mr. Simpson, Mrs. Simpson, I'm truly sorry. It's all because my wife spoils her too much. We only have one daughter in our family, so she has become too indulgent and lacks proper manners."

Ayan remained silent, and Camille simply smiled faintly without saying a word.

After Camille's remarks just now, Horace and Mario understood the situation more clearly. Horace didn't know Camille well, but he knew that she wasn't the kind of woman who relied solely on men. On the contrary, Camille was independent, especially after changing Grace, who had always followed the family's arrangements without any personal opinions. How could such a woman possibly depend on a man?

However, Horace didn't speak up. His role was that of a distant partner to both Ayan and Camille. It wasn't the appropriate time to speak up.

It would be better to leave this opportunity to someone else, like Mario.

Mario had known Camille for many years and was a longtime friend of Sienna. Moreover, King Group had also collaborated with Camille before. So, Mario set down the back of his hand he had been holding and calmly said, "It seems that Miss Nores has some misunderstandings."

After Mario spoke, both Mr. Nores and Alicia instinctively looked toward him.

Mario continued, "Camille is not someone who relies on men. Her abilities are on par with everyone present here. Do you remember the entrepreneurs and celebrities who spoke up for Simpson Group when it faced a crisis? They were all Camille's partners. If she can collaborate with those people, do you still think she needs to depend on a man?"

Since Camille didn't want to fully disclose her identity, Mario only hinted at it. His words had reached this point, and Mr. Nores naturally believed him. After all, Mario was the president of King Group, so his words couldn't be underestimated.

However, Camille didn't show any intention of speaking up for herself. Instead, she smiled at Mario and said, "Mario, your words might make Miss Nores misunderstand that you're trying to cover something up for me. In any case, my ability lies in being able to know people like you. I can't compare myself to Miss Nores."

Camille's sarcastic tone was practically written on her face.

Alicia, of course, could hear it and fully understood that Camille wasn't as simple as she initially thought.

After Mr. Nores reminded Alicia for the third time, she still showed no intention of apologizing, attempting to avoid the situation by remaining silent.

But Ayan had run out of patience.

Ayan calmly glanced at Mr. Nores and Alicia, then indifferently spoke, "Mr. Nores, three strikes and you're out. There's no need for this apology anymore if it lacks sincerity. As for Miss Nores, please educate your daughter properly. I don't know what she has against my wife, but if that's the case, then I think we can temporarily halt this project. We can resume once Mr. Nores has properly educated his daughter."

Ayan's words left no room for negotiation. He formally informed Mr. Nores, Alicia, and everyone present.

After speaking, Ayan stood up, gently took Camille's hand, and tenderly said, "Let's go."
