My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1422

Chapter 1422: Difficulties

Ayan's words prompted Grace to speak up as well. "You don't need to worry about me. Go and attend to your duties at Armstrong Corp. If you're not present there, I'm afraid many people will speculate and make assumptions."

Horace actually wanted to accompany Grace, but with such a major incident unfolding, it was impossible for him to stay. Just as he was about to leave Franklin Bay, his secretary called, urging him to arrive at the company quickly. Given that it involved people's safety, the attention surrounding the matter was naturally greater than anything else.

After bidding farewell to Grace, Horace left Franklin Bay. Ayan's phone kept ringing, so the only ones who had some free time were Camille and Grace.

Camille was browsing online news, and Grace couldn't resist opening her phone and scrolling through as well. Consequently, the two of them didn't engage in much conversation.

It wasn't until Grace came across a message that her expression changed: "This Mrs. Armstrong got into trouble, and her daughter didn't react at all. Could it be she's secretly hoping her mother dies sooner?"

Unable to directly mention Camille's name, the message only contained her initials.

Grace felt furious after reading it. She truly wanted to respond directly with her real name, but she couldn't speak freely at the moment, fearing it would cause more trouble for Ayan and Horace.

With tightly pursed lips and an unpleasant expression, Grace's reaction didn't go unnoticed by Camille.

Camille asked calmly, "What's wrong with you?"

Grace replied in a low, muffled voice, "It's nothing."

Camille said, "You don't need to look at things online. If you do, treat it like gossip without any emotional involvement. Others don't understand us or the situation, so they will say whatever comes to mind. The only thing we can do is stay calm and not let ourselves be consumed by emotions and negativity."

Grace pressed her lips together, her voice hoarse as she said, "Yeah, I know, but I just feel like these people on the internet can say whatever they want without consequences."

"Don't get agitated, and don't get nervous. It's okay. These are just trivial matters. To be honest, these rumors and gossip have become like insignificant things to me."

Having experienced countless rumors herself, Camille no longer reacted to such discussions.

She knew she could justify herself in her own conscience, and those who truly understood her knew what kind of person she was. That was enough.

As for others, they could say whatever they wanted. It didn't matter. If it ever became unbearable, they could simply report it to the authorities and handle it.

Camille had a broad perspective, and her mindset began to influence Grace. Grace said, "Cami, I've really learned a lot from you. Without you, I'd probably still be someone who can't even handle the basics. I'm truly a mess."

Camille raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly. "Don't think that way. You're also great, and there are many things I can learn from you. So, let's learn from each other."

The two exchanged a smile as their eyes met.

The online chatter couldn't be silenced because there was too much of it. Behind their screens, people felt they could say whatever they wanted since they wouldn't face any consequences.

Although the incident was discovered promptly, and measures and plans were implemented, the screenshots and spread of information continued to gradually escalate.

As a result, it became a big commotion in Hance City, especially within the upper-class circles. Some busybodies started searching for clues, trying to find out where it happened. They wanted to obtain firsthand information and sell it to the media and gossip magazines.
