Seeing the name on the incoming call, her expression turned cold.
She pressed the answer button, but before she could speak, a voice came through: "Crystal? Have you talked to Ayan? What did he say? Did he agree?"
Crystal furrowed her brows and her expression darkened. Her voice was low and hoarse as she said, "Just finished talking."
"What did he say then?"
"He doesn't agree for now. There's a lot of attention on the Armstrong family right now. If we have any involvement with Camille at this time, it will definitely be brought to light. So I think it's not appropriate. Let's wait for the right time to make a decision!" Crystal took a deep breath and said these words without any hesitation, as she truly believed in them.
After spending time with Ayan and Camille, she could clearly see what kind of people they were. So this time, she chose to stand with Camille.
Her words naturally provoked a strong reaction from the other person: "Crystal, do you also think this way? Have you not thought about the situation of our Bill family? If this matter is not resolved quickly, we will face big trouble."
Crystal's tone was also firm, as she said, "If this matter blows up, will the Bill family not be in trouble?"
Crystal's words silenced the other person, and their tone softened: "Crystal, I'm also anxious. Among all your siblings, only you know about this matter. And the people she now knows are also only you. If you take action against her, maybe this matter can be covered up. As long as not many people know, the decision lies in her hands."
"Have you thought about Ayan? This is in Hance City. If Ayan doesn't agree, do you think we can make her accept?"
Crystal replied, "If you don't want this matter to fail, then don't rush. Let's remain calm for now. Everything will be resolved when the time is right."
Crystal's words had some effect, at least the other person didn't insist stubbornly. If they continued to be so stubborn, the resolution of this matter in the end would be very embarrassing.
Crystal now regretted knowing about this matter. If she didn't know, she wouldn't be in this difficult situation.
It was just a coincidence that she found out. If she hadn't overheard, she would be at ease now.
Crystal couldn't pretend she knew nothing, so she had to deal with her emotions on her own.
After a long silence, she messaged Kian and asked him to convey to Ayan: "Tell Mr. Simpson, I have dealt with the Bill family. I am not compromising, I'm just seeing this matter from his perspective. His goal is also my goal."
After seeing Crystal's message, Kian showed no response, and his expression was very cold.
Noticing this, Kian couldn't help asking, "Mr. Simpson, if Crystal stabilizes the Bill family, can we relax a bit?"
"Stabilizing is just temporary. If we only investigate from Crystal, it may not be effective. We still need to find out from the old employees of the Bill family. Because this matter is not recent, and it's been more than twenty years. Naturally, it can't be something known by new people."
But this matter couldn't be resolved in a day or two. It might not be easy to investigate.
Ayan furrowed his brows, placed the water glass down, and spoke in a disinterested tone, "Regardless of whether Crystal is using delay tactics, what's certain is that the Bill family doesn't want this matter to blow up. So, this means we have some control over the situation. Since they don't want to go public, their intentions might not be good."
Ayan let out a sneer, his deep eyes covered in a coldness that reflected in his facial expression, without any warmth.
