Grace had no intention of being soft-hearted, nor did she want her uncles to leave the Armstrong family. After all, now that they knew most of the publicly known information, if they let them leave the Armstrong family at this time, then everyone would likely know about the Armstrong family's affairs the next second.
So, of course, Grace would not agree to it. She was now very clear and rational, not letting anyone harm the people she cared about.
With her father's betrayal and mother's passing, only Camille was the closest family she had.
Faced with her response, the two uncles and aunt naturally did not want to agree, their emotions were very agitated. However, Grace did not give them a chance to continue speaking and directly hung up the phone.
Upon hanging up the phone, Grace flipped her phone over and placed it on the coffee table. She took a deep breath and said softly, "They must be in a hurry, wanting to escalate the situation to find compensation from the Armstrong family sooner."
Grace understood the thoughts of her uncles and Paige, and this was to prevent any actions from them.
Sienna smiled and said, "They just want to rush the division of benefits, right? They don't care if the situation is related to your father or not. They just want some benefits, preferably a hefty sum of money, and then they won't care about the truth anymore. Honestly, such relatives are not worth having."
"If they weren't just trying to get a piece of the pie, they wouldn't have come to the Armstrong family voluntarily, nor would they have cared about Mom's situation. They actually have a share of the properties that belonged to Mom, but they've always emphasized that Mom was a married woman and didn't want to divide them. This also means that there has been little contact over the years and it's impossible to say that they supported Mom because of the bad relationship between Mom and Dad."
Grace had a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between her uncles and Paige because Paige would occasionally mention it, and she had been by Paige's side for a long time, making her very clear about these relationships.
If her uncles truly cared for Paige as a little sister, how could Brody have had the opportunity to bully Paige?
It's because Paige no longer had anyone from her mother's side supporting her. Whatever happened, Paige only had the Armstrong family, so she couldn't leave the Armstrong family and couldn't really give up on Brody. That's why Brody intensified his actions.
Thinking about all this, Grace felt really sorry for Paige, while Camille's emotions were much colder.
Camille didn't know or understand the relationship between them. She just knew that both the uncles and Paige were very distant from their grandmother. Even though their step-grandmother treated them like her own daughters, they were still very indifferent towards her. They didn't even look at her before she passed away, and that was just how they were.
So, no matter what, Camille couldn't get close.
But Camille didn't show it because it was about Paige now. She didn't want to dwell on it too much or bring it up repeatedly, so she just remained silent, saying nothing and doing nothing.
As for Grace's words, Sienna was the one who responded in the end.
Sienna said, "Don't be too upset. Seeing through such people is actually a good thing. They're delusional to want to divide the Armstrong family's assets because of your mom. To deal with such people, you just need to ignore them."
Grace nodded lightly. "Yes, you're right. I think ignoring them is the best way to punish."
They both smiled at each other, and Grace's gaze fell on Camille, who had been silent all along. She spoke softly, "Cami, why aren't you saying anything?"
"I have nothing to say," Camille replied, meeting her gaze without hiding her inner coldness.
Grace didn't ask any further and just smiled slightly, then continued to watch the movie.
The three of them spent almost the whole day at home until the evening when the three men returned home one after the other, as if they had planned it.
