Camille pursed her lips and looked calmly, gradually finding an answer in her heart.
She said, "When comparing Ayan with others, you should think carefully about who is more relentless in hurting the Armstrong family and who has spared the Armstrong family multiple times out of consideration for me. I believe you know the weight of each, as for Ayan, he is indeed busy, and coupled with the recent disputes and unpleasantness between us, I don't want to help you arrange a meeting with him."
Camille's excuse was so reasonable that it left no room for doubt. Brody fell silent, which only made Camille more convinced that Brody must have been threatened by someone.
So, who could it be?
An image subconsciously appeared in Camille's mind, and a faint smirk tugged at the corner of her mouth. He really is everywhere, isn't he? In order to find out if Ayan is really in Hance City as stated in the itinerary she provided, he even resorted to threatening Brody. It must be quite challenging for him.
Camille's gaze turned cold, filled with a chilling indifference. Her voice became even colder as she spoke to Brody, "It's better for everyone, especially for the Armstrong family, to know as little as possible about Ayan's affairs. If you want to help someone at the expense of betraying Ayan, I suggest you abandon that idea."
"I don't know what you're talking about. Don't make baseless claims."
"You know very well if it's baseless or not. Let's put an end to this matter."
After Camille finished speaking, she stood up and left, having already had enough conversation with Brody. Whether he listened or not was his own business.
Camille walked out of the meeting room, and surprisingly, Brody didn't try to stop her. Perhaps he had taken Camille's words to heart?
Back in her office, Camille saw Sienna and Yessica still staring at the surveillance footage on their phones. It didn't take long after Camille returned to her office that Brody stood up and left.
Sienna finally put down her phone and said, "He's gone too."
"Yes," Camille responded lightly, her expression unusually cold.
Sienna asked, "What does he want to do? Why did he ask about Ayan's whereabouts?"
Camille looked up and met Sienna's eyes. Her voice lacked warmth as she replied, "It was Preston's idea. Preston threatened him through an online video to meet Ayan. I guess he's afraid that the unedited original video might be leaked, so he had no choice but to comply."
After all, Brody was not someone who would willingly engage in a losing business. If he hadn't been cornered and didn't know what to do, how could he have agreed to Preston's demands?
However, Camille had a certain understanding of both Brody and Preston, knowing their thoughts and calculations.
Sienna nodded approvingly and said, "You're really smart to figure all that out. So, what's the plan now? Will Mr. Armstrong cooperate with you, or will you honestly tell Preston everything you said?"
"He won't," Camille affirmed confidently. She continued, "He won't. You have to understand that he knows who Preston is and who Ayan is. Perhaps Ayan can lend him a hand in his most desperate moments, but Preston won't. Although he is selfish and self-centered, Preston is even more so. If someone of his age still hasn't grasped this distinction, then they deserve to be manipulated."
"You're straightforward, not leaving him any face at all!!!" Sienna chuckled and nodded.
Camille remained silent. She had nothing more to say about this matter. Her expression remained extremely cold. As for how Brody would respond to Preston, that was his own business.
