This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.
The Simpson family had already been informed of the situation, and both Fletcher and Talia had arrived at Franklin Bay to console Camille. However, seeing Camille's relatively stable state, without the expected breakdown, the words of comfort that were on the tip of their tongues remained unspoken.
Camille lightly pursed her lips and, proactively changing the subject, she looked at Talia and asked, "Mom, do you think I'm quite cold-blooded?"
After all, it was not typical for a daughter to remain so calm upon hearing such news about her mother.
Several hours had passed since learning of the incident, and it was already past eight in the evening. Yet, Camille had not shed a single tear, nor had she shown any signs of breaking down.
Her detached demeanor was indeed abnormal, but given her strained relationship with the Armstrong family, her reaction was somewhat expected.
Talia was taken aback by Camille's question but then walked over to sit beside her, soothingly saying, "Cami, whatever your reaction is, it's your most genuine one. Not shedding tears at this moment does not make you cold-hearted. It may be that their actions have left you unable to express the expected reaction right now. But that doesn't mean you're abnormal. How could I possibly think you're cold-blooded?"
"Exactly, Cami. You don't have to feel any pressure. We are all family, and how she has treated you as a mother is evident to everyone. So no one has the right to judge or manipulate your emotions."
Fletcher also chimed in.
They had not brought Timmy along, fearing that they wouldn't have the time to attend to him properly at this moment, so they had left Timmy under the care of Mrs. Ward for the time being.
After soothing Camille for a while, Talia reassured her not to doubt herself.
As it was getting late, the two finally took their leave.
Camille had hardly eaten dinner, so Ayan had the maid cook up a bowl of noodles, personally bringing it upstairs for Camille.
Camille was chatting with Sienna when Ayan left without lingering and went to the study.
Camille, of course, did not conceal anything from Sienna regarding the Armstrong family's situation. Sienna expressed shock, but given the circumstances, she refrained from joining Camille in their usual complaints about Page's bias and favoritism.
Sienna murmured softly, "How could this have happened? Cami, she'll be fine. Do not worry too much; everything will turn out okay."
But these were just words of comfort.
How could someone survive such a fall from a high cliff?
However, Camille didn't mind. Instead, she responded to Sienna, saying, "Honestly, I've accepted the fact that she fell off the cliff. What I can't comprehend is why it happened. Their relationship was clearly strained; they even came to argue with me a few days ago. Judging from her behavior at that time, their relationship was very rocky. So how could they have gone on a trip together?"
