"The implication is that someone in the house is connected to Preston. Yesterday's incident was also relayed to Preston by someone in the house. Otherwise, how would Preston know? The video sent out in the evening was indeed sent by Preston, and the reason he added the mosaic was to threaten us, trying to make us comply with his demands."
Brody lowered his voice intentionally, speaking softly, afraid that someone on the other side of the wall might overhear him.
Page was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to react. Her face was filled with incredulous shock. She looked up at Brody and asked, "Someone in the house has been bought by Preston? Whose fault is this? It was you who brought Preston here in the first place, and you insisted on cooperating with him despite my objections. So, how is it now? Did it turn out well for you?"
Page snorted coldly, her eyes filled with cold indifference. She said, "The person he is threatening is you, not me. Everything in the video is your own problem. What does it have to do with me? Why should I cooperate with you? All these things happened because of you. It's your fault for what you did outside. It's all your problem, and it has nothing to do with me."
Page refused to cooperate and was unwilling to help Brody. For her, seeing Brody being threatened by someone actually made her happy. After all, everything that came to light was because of his wrongdoing and the mess caused by the Armstrong family. Just the thought of compromising with the Armstrong family and not giving birth to a son for herself made her hatred towards them grow deeper.
Page didn't want to discuss this matter with Brody anymore. She bypassed him and wanted to leave the bedroom and go downstairs. She didn't have any reliable relatives on her side, so she couldn't rely on them to deal with Brody. But that didn't mean she had no solutions at all. She would do everything possible to find out about the woman behind Brody and that child.
She wanted to vent her anger. As long as she was unhappy, then no one should be happy.
Page's indifference made Brody anxious as well. He grabbed Page's arm and said, "What are you trying to do? I'm not joking with you now, and I'm not asking for your opinion. I'm telling you what to do. If you can tolerate someone in this house being connected to Preston, then whatever happens in the future will reach Preston's ears. Do you want to give up everything related to Armstrong Corp as well?"
Page was also taken aback. Of course, she didn't want that. She squinted her eyes and retorted to Brody, "Now you need me? But have you ever considered my future? You never thought about how I would be. You only care about that vixen you have outside. If you cared even a little bit about this family, you wouldn't treat me like this."
Page cried as she questioned him. She was also very helpless about this matter because she was indeed needed to help now. So, of course, she didn't want to use this matter to provoke Page.
After careful consideration, Brody simply chose to remain silent.
But his silence was an implicit agreement. Page became even more uncooperative and even more distant.
Page had an idea. She said to Brody, "If you want me to cooperate, it's not impossible. Unless you agree to one condition."
Brody was slightly startled and asked, "What condition?"
"You have a son with that woman outside, right? We can continue our marriage and maintain the appearance of a model couple outside, but the condition is that you bring the child back to be raised under my name."
Page stared at Brody, making him make a choice.
She wasn't just saying this. She truly meant it.
Although it was humiliating, as long as the child was raised under her name, the child would be hers, and that despicable woman outside would never have a chance to see the child.
But Brody fell into silence because this matter was not trivial, and Brody couldn't simply agree without hesitation.
