My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1260

Chapter 1260: Capital

"Even if he's not in this position, we still need to discuss everything. This project is not solely dominated by Simpson Group. Mario's side and Simpson Group have a similar proportion," Ayan replied calmly.

"Don't we still have Armstrong Corp?" Rex looked at Horace and asked, "Horace, tell me honestly, are you on our side or Mario's side?"

Horace, caught off guard by being directly addressed, hesitated for a moment. He glanced at Rex and then at Ayan. Rex seemed serious about the question, while Ayan remained calm and unreactive throughout.

Comparing the expressions of the two, Horace slowly realized that the situation might be more serious than he had imagined. So he quickly responded, "Based on our dining companionship, I have to stand on your side!"

He tried to liven up the atmosphere by using the term "dining companionship."

Upon hearing this, Rex immediately turned to Ayan and said, "You see, Armstrong Corp is on our side. Together, we definitely have more influence than Mario. Can't we secure the position of the team leader like this?"

"What's the point of securing that position? Isn't it fine the way things are now?" Ayan asked calmly.

Rex furrowed his brow, his expression turning unpleasant. He retorted, "Is this situation fine? Didn't we agree not to give Mario any chance to take control?"

"This isn't about taking control. At most, it's just the authority to do the work. I don't want to waste my time on such tasks. Isn't Mario too idle? Let's assign him the busiest work, so he won't have any spare time," Ayan explained.

After Ayan's words, Rex fell silent for a moment.

Ayan continued, "Everything is within my expectations. From the beginning, I voluntarily pushed this position onto Mario. Don't you look forward to the day when Mario realizes that he's actually making money for you?"

Ayan's casual remark instantly dispelled Rex's gloomy mood. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Really?"

Ayan remained silent, giving Rex a disinterested glance, and continued eating.

Their gazes met, and the smile in Rex's eyes grew deeper. Finally, he brightened up and said, "I'm actually quite looking forward to that day."

Rex felt more at ease and resumed using his fork. He didn't forget to personally pick up some food for Ayan, but he received a disdainful look in return.

Rex accompanied the gesture with a smile and said, "It was my impulsiveness. It's all my fault. I'm sorry. As the bigger person, you shouldn't hold grudges over such trivial matters!"

Ayan took a sip without responding, merely giving him a cold and indifferent glance.

Horace, who was listening to their conversation, picked up some information from it. After all, smart people could connect important pieces of information directly. So he had a rough idea of what was going on.

He interrupted them gently, "Should I step out for a while?"

Rex chuckled, "No need to avoid anything. It's not like we're involved in something scandalous."

Ayan remained silent, implicitly agreeing with Rex's words.

Horace continued, "Is Ward Group also involved in this project?"

"Sort of, but for now, we don't want Mario and Nores Group to know about it. So it's just the three of us who are aware," Rex explained.

Horace nodded, indicating his understanding.
