However, he still insisted on wanting Camille to accompany him to Dane City. In fact, he also wanted to take advantage of the business trip and have some fun with Camille. They had never traveled together before.
He said to Camille, "I won't pressure the museum, but if they give you a vacation, I can't stop you from coming with me, right? So come with me."
Camille frowned and didn't directly agree. She just said, "Let's see."
Ayan was domineering and strong-willed. He said, "Then I'll take that as a yes."
His dominance made Camille feel helpless but she didn't say anything in the end.
As they were talking, Ayan's phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID and it wasn't from Hance City but from Campole.
He frowned slightly and his expression became a bit gloomy before saying lightly,"I'm going to take this call!"
Camille nodded without thinking much about it. Ayan let go of her hand and walked out onto the balcony while answering his phone.
"Hello?"
A woman's voice came through softly,"It's me."
"What do you want?" Ayan asked indifferently.
The woman seemed hesitant and uneasy as she asked,"Ayan, are you really going to keep your promise when I have no other options left? Will you really give me a way out?"
"If you don't believe in what I promised then why did you make this call?" Ayan replied coldly.
The woman fell silent for a moment before carefully weighing her words before finally speaking up again,"Preston wants me to get pregnant with Austin's child so that he can force Austin into divorcing Cora. But I don't trust Preston because once he doesn't need me anymore he'll just throw me away like trash. Ayan, can you help think of something for me?"
A deep emotion surged within Aya's eyes as they flickered back-and-forth. He spoke calmly,"What exactly is between Preston and yourself?"
Eileen remained silent.
"If you're not willing to tell then how am I supposed help?"
"Ayan, I'm sorry. I can't tell You. This is my last trump card. If i reveal everything, Preston will be able use it against both myself or even against You. At that time, I might not be able protect myself. I just want live well, to find good place where i belong."
Ayan didn't ask any more questions and just tried to calm Eileen down for the moment. He said, "Preston wants you to use the child to help Austin. First of all, you need to think about whether Austin and the Norman family value you and this child. Otherwise, even if you get pregnant, it won't be useful. Secondly, Austin is still in a marital relationship with Cora. Do you think the Norman family can accept you?"
"I understand what you're saying, but isn't Cora in your hands? If she disappears from this world, Austin's wife won't be a threat to me anymore, right?"
"Eileen whispered tentatively."
Ayan narrowed his eyes in an instant, a coldness passing through them. His voice was indifferent as he said, "Eileen, so you want to use me to eliminate obstacles for you? Is this your idea or Preston's?"
Eileen suddenly fell silent.
Ayan said again, "Tell Preston that if he has the ability, he should find it himself. If he can't find it, don't waste your breath. As for you, if you hope to benefit from both sides, it depends on whether you have the capacity to handle it."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Eileen's response.
Eileen always has a lot on her mind. While she hopes to collaborate with Preston, she also seeks protection from him. However, in this world, it's rare to have the best of both worlds.
Ayan put away his phone and took a deep breath silently on the balcony before entering the room.
Camille noticed that his complexion was not very good and casually asked, "What's wrong?"
Ayan shook his head and walked over to sit next to Camille. He took her hand and held it in his palm, unsure of what he wanted to say or what he was thinking.
But instead of saying anything, he pushed Camille down on the couch and gave her a big kiss before releasing her.
He did not stay, but got up after the kiss, and said, "I'm leaving."
Camille blinked and he was very proactive in leaving on time now.
Camille didn't hesitate to leave, she just said, "Help me close the door."
Upon hearing this, Ayan stopped in his tracks and turned around to look down at her. His voice was almost gritted through his teeth as he said, "You wait for me. Sooner or later, you will have to pay it back."
Camille smiled and watched him leave, pursing her lips.
Ayan returned to his own floor, with Eileen's words echoing in his mind. Recently, Preston had been quiet and Ayan had thought he was just taking a break, but it turned out that he had been careless.
Since Preston wants Eileen to use their child as a way to tie Austin down, let's see if his idea has the ability to hold up until Austin and the Norman family resolve the issue with Cora.
Immediately after Ayan's request, Kian anonymously contacted the Campole gossip media. Kian already had intimate photos and videos of Eileen and Austin, and it was no secret that Austin and Cora were married in Campole. This video was sent to the media and received great attention immediately.
No media outlet would miss out on such a news that brings huge ratings to their platform. They immediately released a teaser, trying to imply that Austin had paid a high price for the photos and videos. However, Austin was completely unaware of this as he was busy dealing with other matters and had no interest in online affairs. The rest of the Norman family also never thought it could be Austin, so it continued until exactly 8 o'clock the next morning.
The gossip media immediately posted the photos and video of Austin's affair, and the news immediately caused a stir on Campole's local forums and various platforms.
When Austin received the message, he was awakened by his secretary's phone call. After learning about the situation online, he immediately opened the forum and was shocked by what he saw. He then instructed his secretary, "Contact them immediately to delete the post. Offer any amount of money if necessary. Delete everything related to it."
The secretary is also very anxious and says, "Mr. Norman, would deleting the post at this time do more harm than good? I think we need to find Mrs. as soon as possible and have her personally refute the rumors. This way, we won't waste any unnecessary money. I believe these media outlets are intentionally trying to extort us."
The secretary's words gradually calmed Austin down. She was right, using that tone was a waste of money. It would be better to let Cora clarify the situation. Besides, who knows if there will be someone else trying to do the same thing in the future? If he is forced to pay every time like this, wouldn't he become a big loser?
After calming down, Austin immediately instructed his secretary to book a flight to Hance City. At the same time, he also reminded his secretary to keep his itinerary confidential and not even disclose a word to Eileen.
The fewer people know about certain things, the better.
On the evening when things were brewing, Austin had already landed at Hance City Airport.
From Preston's mouth, he also knew that Sean was in Ayan's hands. Only Ayan had the ability to hide two living people in such a bustling and extraordinary city like Hance City.
However, what Austin didn't know was that from the moment he stepped onto the plane heading to Hance City, all of his movements were under Ayan's watchful eye.
Ayan had anticipated Austin's reaction after hearing this news and had already arranged for someone to keep an eye on him from the beginning.
After Kian reported Austin's situation to Ayan, Kian asked: "Mr. Simpson, it is certain that Austin came here this time to find Cora. Should we do something to mislead him into thinking that Cora is no longer in Hance City?"
