Camille finished her meal. She got up, casting a fleeting glance at Ayan with a triumphant smile. "Since you know you're wrong even though you won't admit it, I'll punish you by making you do the dishes!"
Camille smiled cunningly, and Ayan finally realized that she had done it on purpose. The frown on his forehead eased, and his voice became husky as he said, "Don't scare me."
Camille walked over to the couch, taking a seat that allowed her to face Ayan's dark eyes. She said, "It's because you always overthink things."
But it seemed like he had improved by now. It used to be worse.
After finishing their meal, Ayan went to wash the dishes.
Camille secretly took a photo of him and sent it to Sienna. "How much do you think this photo can sell for?"
"Mrs. Simpson, can you cut it out? I'm all alone, and you're showing off your love in front of me. If you keep doing that, I'll hold a grudge against you."
"I know you won't."
"I will!"
"Alright, maybe you will. But you still haven't told me how much it can sell for," Camille couldn't help but laugh.
Sienna didn't reply anymore and vented her anger by ordering a bucket of fried chicken.
Camille didn't bother Sienna anymore, knowing she couldn't be genuinely angry. As for the photo, she naturally saved it and set it as the background for her chat conversation with Ayan.
Snuggled on the couch, Camille held the remote control, browsing through movies. Although she had been at home for the past couple of days, she hadn't had the time to properly watch a movie.
She planned to ask Ayan to watch one with her later.
Just as Camille found a movie, Ayan finished washing the dishes. His hands, with distinct joints, were slightly reddened from being soaked in water. Camille couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Simpson, if the employees of Simpson Group see how hard you work at home, will they still have as much respect for you?"
"They won't have the opportunity to witness that," he confidently replied, unperturbed.
He sat down beside Camille and watched the movie with her.
However, they didn't manage to finish the movie as Kian called around nine o'clock.
On the phone, Kian said, "Mr. Simpson, the information is out. Our people saw some strange people in Amber's hometown. From their behavior and accent, they don't seem to be locals, so it seems like they've started to take action."
"Okay, ensure Amber's safety."
"Understood. I'm heading there myself now."
Ayan advised Kian to stay safe before ending the call.
After Ayan put down his phone, Camille finally looked at him with concern. "Ensure Amber's safety? Is someone going to harm her?"
"Yes."
"What do you mean, 'yes'? What have you done? Did Amber really know something, which is why she left Hance City?"
"Yes, I had Kian release the information."
"You did it on purpose? To lure them out?" Camille asked instinctively. She had to admit that Ayan was clever. There were definitely people watching him now, so he wouldn't leave Hance City for a second. As for Kian, even if he did leave, he would find a way to do it discreetly.
Ayan didn't say much because the plan hadn't unfolded yet. Talking about it now would be useless.
That night, Kian arrived at Amber's hometown, but it was already midnight.
However, some people specifically chose this time to knock on Amber's door.
At this moment, both of Amber's parents were resting. When she heard the knocking on the door, Amber immediately became cautious because it wasn't normal for someone to come knocking so late. Most of the people in their neighborhood were either middle-aged or children, and they would have already gone to bed at this hour.
So Amber's guard went up, and she quietly walked out of the bedroom without even putting on her shoes. She walked to the door and looked outside through the peephole, but there was no one and nothing out there.
