Even through the phone, Camille could clearly sense Page's anger. She shouted, "Camille, are you not listening to me now?"
"You're thinking too much. I've been listening. If I don't wait for you to finish speaking, will you blame me for being impolite and disrespectful?"
Camille spoke lightly, without any hint of aggression in her tone. It seemed as if she no longer cared about Page's attitude or reaction.
Of course, Page was extremely unhappy with this attitude. She had a cold expression on her face, full of hostility, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything!"
"Then are you going to find Horace or not?"
"Where should I find him?"
"You can't find him? Don't you know to ask Ayan for help? Don't you have a good relationship with Ayan? Can't you ask him for assistance? Although you have a good relationship with him, you should know that you will always be an outsider in the Simpson family. Do you know what an outsider is? It means that no matter how well they treat you, you will never be one of their own. You should remember your own surname."
These words had been repeated countless times. Camille felt like she could recite them backward effortlessly. She sighed silently and finally interrupted Page's words, asking, "So, you want me to involve Ayan in Armstrong Corp's affairs. Are you prepared for the fact that Ayan might also want a piece of the pie?"
"Isn't the Simpson Group enough? Don't you know the current situation of Armstrong Corp? At this time, you still want to benefit from it. Are you trying to infuriate me? Can't you stand the Armstrong family being in a good position?"
Page started another round of bombardment. This time, Camille decided to cut her off directly, with a slightly stern tone, "If you continue speaking like this, then don't call me anymore."
Page was taken aback because Camille rarely used such a cold and stern tone when talking to her. Even when her attitude was very poor, it was always cold and indifferent, not oppressive like it felt now.
During Page's silence, Camille spoke calmly and unhurriedly, "Since you believe that any benefits of the Armstrong family have nothing to do with me, how can you ask for my help when the Armstrong family has a problem? Are you putting yourself in a difficult position or me? Do you think I would genuinely help the Armstrong family? After all, it doesn't benefit me in any way. In your eyes, I am just a selfish person. Why would I help?"
Normally, Camille wouldn't be so blunt. At most, she would pretend not to hear or let it go in one ear and out the other. But now her mood was far from beautiful, especially when she thought about those terrible things. She found it irritating, and Page's call at this time, questioning and instructing her without any distinction, was something Camille couldn't tolerate.
