My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1410

Chapter 1410: Persuasion

Ayan didn't immediately respond, but instead looked at Brody, then glanced at Grace and Regina, as the three of them had come down together.

A faint smile played on his lips, his gaze was meaningful, as he asked, "Is there something the three of you need to discuss? You all seem a bit out of sorts!"

He was being deliberate.

Neither Regina nor Brody had any intention of answering.

Grace, on the other hand, spoke up, "Aunt Vere's child, who is my cousin and Cami's cousin as well, has been kidnapped. The kidnappers are demanding five million dollars, a sum we can't gather immediately. Dad is considering selling off Armstrong Corp shares to rescue Vere."

Grace's tone was non-confrontational, with a flat delivery, yet everyone present could clearly hear her words. This naturally stirred up the uncles, who no longer held back their fear and directly confronted Brody.

"You want to sell off Armstrong Corp shares to help an outsider? This is unacceptable. My sister has just passed away, her shares in Armstrong Corp rightfully belong to her family, not to an outsider!"

"Yes, even though they were in close contact, it is family that counts when it matters most. You can't just give my sister's legacy to someone else."

Both uncles were vehemently against it, a scenario Grace had anticipated. She had kept the information from them until now precisely to witness this confrontation, wanting to incite discord among them and see them clash. As long as they were unhappy, Camille would be satisfied.

Brody and Regina couldn't get a word in, completely cut off by the uncles' relentless questioning and resistance.

This continued for a while until Brody couldn't bear the noise any longer, feeling like his ears were about to burst.

He looked displeased as he finally said, "Enough, all of you, be quiet."

The atmosphere instantly quietened.

Everyone was stunned.

Seizing the opportunity, Brody continued, "This is my home. If you want to argue, then leave. This matter is my family's business, it's none of your concern. Don't think I don't know how you all have kept your distance over the years. Now that she's gone, you want a piece of the pie. That's wishful thinking!"

Brody's words shut down the uncles' thoughts and intentions from the start. This also signaled that Brody had never been fooled by their intentions.

Brody had hesitated to openly confront them for fear of trouble, preferring to wait until things were resolved before addressing the uncles. However, the situation with Regina and Vere forced his hand earlier than planned. Despite the circumstances, Brody showed no fear.

Grace, noticing the tension, gently spoke up once the silence settled.

She said, "Uncles, please don't misunderstand Dad. I trust him. Dad only wants to help Aunt, whom he treats like a sister due to his close relationship with Mom. There is no distinction between family and outsiders in his eyes."
