My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 824

Chapter 824: Straightforward

Ayan lifted his gaze and coldly met Rex's eyes. Indifferently, he asked, "So, are you going to say it or not? If you're not going to, then leave. I'm busy."

Rex was taken aback by the question.

He widened his eyes and stared at Ayan without blinking, saying, "Ayan, you're giving off some vibes of a scumbag changing his mind. I've already taken the initiative, so what else do you want from me?"

Ayan let out a soft snort. "You took the initiative, but for what purpose?"

"What purpose could I possibly have? Ayan, don't overthink it. I'm a good person," Rex replied calmly. "You absolutely can't guess what I've found out."

Rex started teasing, hesitating to speak, and looked at Ayan. He walked to the coffee table, picked up a cup of coffee, and said in a cold, detached voice, "I'll tell you something you absolutely can't imagine. Preston and Eileen both came from the same orphanage. I've put in a lot of effort to investigate this matter in Flento City. I found out that Preston was adopted from the orphanage by the Walker family. Then I traced back to his orphanage and conducted an investigation. I also discovered information about Eileen's parents going to adopt her. At first, I didn't think there was any connection with Eileen. It was just that I found her parents' names familiar, so I had someone check it out. Unexpectedly, there really was a connection with Eileen. I specifically inquired about Eileen's parents' former neighbors. They couldn't have children, so they adopted Eileen when she was three or four years old."

"They both came from the same orphanage?"

"Yes."

Ayan narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of cold indifference flickering in his gaze. It was unclear what he was thinking.

Seeing his lack of response, Rex asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Ayan, say something! What are you thinking?"

Ayan calmly replied, "They have been plotting together all along. This is a secret Eileen refuses to reveal. She considers it her trump card and doesn't want to use it so easily, otherwise, Preston would be worthless to her."

Rex's face also turned serious. He said, "Ayan, are you implying that Eileen knows Preston's secret? And her reason for not telling you is to hold this as a final trump card to threaten Preston?"

"More or less. But even Preston won't reveal the truth to his own cousin, Sean. We still can't be sure about what Eileen knows."

"So?"

"So, I need you to focus and thoroughly investigate this matter."

Ayan leisurely stood up from his office chair, took slow steps towards Rex, raised his hand, and lightly patted Rex's shoulders. A faint smile played at the corners of his mouth, carrying a deep meaning.

Rex immediately caught on and exclaimed, "Ayan, isn't this a bit unfair? After all, I'm the CEO of Ward Group. Commanding me to do things like this, shouldn't I be compensated?"

"What do you want?"

"I want the car you just got."

"Well, look who's asking."

Rex chuckled, "Kian said you had just gotten it, and I happened to come at the right time. So, I'm taking advantage of the situation, right?"

"While I'd love to fulfill your request, I'm sorry to say that I've already given the car to someone else."

Rex was left speechless. "Given it away? To whom?"

"Well, definitely not to you," Ayan said with a faint smile. He turned away, poured himself a drink, and took a few sips while keeping his gaze fixed on Rex. "If you find out the truth about this, I'll double what you want."
