My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1389

Chapter 1389: Power

The words of the police undoubtedly served as a wake-up call for the uncles, who immediately turned to look at Camille and Grace.

Camille, being distant and not very involved with them, especially since she had left the Armstrong family early on and had a strained relationship with Page, naturally placed all their hopes on Grace.

The group of uncles almost flashed to Grace's side, with the eldest uncle excitedly grabbing her arm when they first laid eyes on her. Horace, standing behind Grace, furrowed his brow instinctively. If it weren't for the present circumstances, which didn't allow for the public acknowledgement of their relationship, Horace would have surely pulled Grace back behind him.

In normal circumstances, it would have been inappropriate for Horace to be present here, as he didn't have to show up or get involved in this matter.

However, his presence here didn't strike anyone as odd, mainly because he was currently the one making decisions for Armstrong Corp. He came here to better understand the affairs of the Armstrong family and Armstrong Corp. so Brody and others didn't think much about it.

But only Ayan, Camille, and Grace knew that he was here solely for Grace.

His gaze remained fixed on Grace's every move. At this moment, with the eldest uncle tightly grasping her arm, Grace, in a highly emotional state, asked, "Grace, what do you think? You are your mother's daughter. You must consider this from her perspective! Your mother's cause of death hasn't been determined yet. We cannot let this matter go just like that!"

After the eldest uncle spoke, the second uncle concurred.

As for Brody, he immediately spoke before giving Grace a chance to respond, saying, "She's just a junior who lacks experience in such matters. Her words carry no weight here. I am in charge now."

With that said, Brody turned to the staff member responsible for handling Page's case.

He said, "I am the deceased's husband. Can I see the deceased now? I have decided to cremate her immediately. I don't want my wife to suffer like this any longer, even in death."

The staff member then looked to the police officer, as the police were still the authority here.

The officer's gaze swept towards Ayan, receiving no indication of speaking up, subconsciously turning to Kian for guidance.

Kian, seeing that Ayan made no gesture, allowed the situation to proceed naturally.

With no response from the police, the officer continued as planned. Ignoring Brody's statement, the police didn't say anything more to the uncles either, turning to Grace and asking, "Miss Armstrong, what is your decision? Are you siding with your father, Mr. Armstrong, or do you choose to follow your uncles' suggestion to involve the coroner?"

Instantly, all eyes turned to Grace.

But before Grace could speak, the uncles quickly added, "And Camille, Camille, you too. Are you and your sister standing with your mother or your father?"

Brody, upon seeing this, exclaimed, "No!!!"
