My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1573

Chapter 1573: Passive

The general consensus was to temporarily withdraw from the SynergyCon project since the internal investigation showed no connection to the Simpson Group, implying that it was related to another company.

However, other companies were unwilling to admit their involvement. Mutual investigations wouldn't lead to a complete resolution, posing the biggest obstacle to the situation.

Ayan, of course, was reluctant to withdraw from the SynergyCon project. In his dictionary, there was no such thing as giving up halfway or backing down. He believed in persevering until a solution presented itself.

Ayan's steadfast attitude gradually made the atmosphere tense.

Several senior shareholders instinctively looked at Fletcher, their voices carrying a plea, "Mr. Fletcher, can you try to persuade Mr. Simpson?"

Fletcher also glanced at Ayan subconsciously and spoke calmly, "Let's take our time to discuss this matter, Ayan. Don't be too rigid in your words. If this project brings too many negative consequences for Simpson Group, it will have a significant impact on us. So, let's have a thorough conversation before making a decision, shall we?"

After Fletcher finished speaking, Ayan's voice followed, indifferent in tone, "Mr. Fletcher, at the moment, Simpson Group is under my control. My words have the final decision-making power. I hope you understand and support that."

Ayan showed no respect for Fletcher, rejecting his request and displaying an extremely cold and emotionless expression.

He stared at Fletcher coldly and then glanced at the shareholders who had just sought Fletcher's assistance, saying, "If you have anything to say, speak directly. There's no need to find anyone to persuade me. If your proposal is beneficial to the company, I will fully support it. But if it's of no use and only brings internal conflicts, then it's unnecessary!"

After Ayan finished speaking, he stood up from his seat and left the conference room. Kian immediately followed him. However, Ayan's departure did not alleviate the heavy atmosphere in the meeting room; instead, it became even more oppressive.

Everyone exchanged looks, examining each other's expressions, but ultimately, they couldn't glean much. They held their breath and looked at Fletcher, not daring to breathe heavily.

However, Fletcher smiled gently and said, "We apologize for the trouble. The child has grown, and we have grown old. We can no longer influence him."

Although Fletcher spoke with a smile, his words carried a sense of helplessness.

Naturally, everyone tried to console him. Those who had sought Fletcher's help in persuading Ayan quickly said, "Mr. Fletcher, please don't say that. Mr. Simpson has his own thoughts, and we all agree. Don't take it to heart. His actions are for the good of the Simpson Group. It's our fault, causing conflict between you and Mr. Simpson father and son."

Fletcher didn't mind and just chuckled softly, saying, "No need to feel guilty or blame yourselves. This matter is already in the past. We're getting old. Let's not worry about such things. Let them be!"

Although these words seemed to express dissatisfaction with Ayan, the content gave people a burning sensation, as if they had been slapped in the face, feeling the pain but unable to find evidence of the blow.

Compared to the self-reflection in the meeting room, the atmosphere in Ayan's office became much quieter.

Kian also remained silent, observing Ayan sitting at his desk, loosening his tie. Ayan's face showed a profoundly somber and indifferent expression. After hesitating for a while, Kian cautiously spoke up, "Mr. Simpson, was it not good to argue with Mr. Fletcher just now?"

Ayan raised an indifferent eyebrow and looked at Kian, "Why wouldn't it be good?"

Kian paused and silently asked himself the question again. Then he whispered, "Will Mr. Fletcher get angry?"

"I hope to keep personal matters separate. Since it's related to the company, everything should be treated as work." So he didn't think there would be any problem.

Ayan didn't want to continue the topic. He asked Kian to contact the head of the PR department and have them come to the office. This matter needed to be dealt with immediately.
