My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 827

Chapter 827: Mistreatment

Right after Austin contacted Mr. Dávalos and Mr. Moya respectively, Kian arrived in Campole.

Kian didn't even take a plane to get here. He drove with another driver, just like Austin.

They reached Campole at ten o'clock at night.

Following Ayan's instructions, Kian arranged a meeting with Mr. Dávalos and Mr. Moya.

It wasn't easy to set up the meeting because Mr. Dávalos and Mr. Moya weren't too keen on meeting Kian once they found out he was associated with Ayan.

However, Ayan had already contacted the former chairman of the Campole Chamber of Commerce. Although he had retired, the former chairman still had some connections within the chamber. Over the years, he had gained considerable respect and was highly regarded. Now in his seventies, everyone held him in great esteem.

With the help the former chairman, Mr. Dávalos and Mr. Moya agreed to meet. Since the former chairman had no vested interests with the Norman Group and had no ties to Ayan, there wouldn't be any troublesome issues arising.

Kian met they two under the name of the former chairman.

Both of them came alone, without their drivers or secretaries. That was the specific instruction given by the former chairman.

Upon seeing Kian, Mr. Dávalos and Mr. Moya were cautious and distant. They asked Kian, "What can we do for you, Kian? We were working with Mr. Norman on the Simpson Group's project, but now that Mr. Norman has stepped down and handed over to another person in charge, we're not sure why you're here."

Kian remained calm and spoke in a subdued voice, "Mr. Dávalos, Mr. Moya, please don't misunderstand. I made all this effort to meet you today not for any other reason, and it's certainly not because of the collaboration between Simpson Group and Norman Group."

"If it's not for collaboration, then is there something else between us?"

"In theory, there shouldn't be." Kian glanced at the two and asked in a low voice, "Besides being work partners, you two are good friends, right?"

Both of them nodded, saying, "Naturally."

"Since you are good friends, there should be no secrets between you, right?" Kian continued.

After a few seconds of hesitation, both of them nodded in unison and said, "Of course."

Upon hearing their response, Kian couldn't help but smile.

His smile made both of them feel slightly uneasy and awkward. Mr. Dávalos was the first to speak up, asking, "Kian, what do you mean by that smile? We don't understand your intentions."

Kian calmly looked at them and asked, "So, there really is nothing you're hiding from each other?"

This time, Mr. Dávalos and Mr. Moya fell silent completely.

Their expressions turned slightly stiff, and they didn't answer the question.

Kian didn't press them further and simply said, "Since you are good friends, you should know that honesty is crucial between friends. Don't let others' words and schemes harm your friendship. In the end, you won't achieve your goals, but instead dig your own grave and fall into a trap!"

A faint smile appeared on Kian's face. His words were clear enough, and he believed they understood.

After a brief moment of silence, Kian continued, "Mr. Simpson specifically asked me to come to Campole and meet you in person, not wanting you to be deceived or manipulated. Of course, it would be a lie to say there are no ulterior motives from us, but you two have no grudges with Mr. Simpson. He won't scheme against you. On the contrary, Mr. Simpson and you are on the same side now. We have a common enemy. If you keep protecting him, Norman Group won't get a favorable outcome. Do you really want Norman Group to end like this? The current situation seems to have settled down due to the Norman Group's statement, but both of you must know deep down if he really did those things which have been exposed, right? If he did, do you think he can truly wash away his guilt and escape punishment?"

Kian's words gradually broke through the defenses in their hearts, and he continued while maintaining a composed demeanor.

Kian said, "In fact, considering your positions and prestige, it wouldn't be difficult to find a new leader within the Norman Group. This is also Mr. Simpson's assurance to both of you. Of course, Mr. Simpson has a condition."

"A condition? What condition?" Mr. Moya asked anxiously.

Kian responded, "If the Norman Group changes ownership and one of you becomes the new leader, then the other should assist to the best of their ability. This ensures the longevity of the Norman Group, and there will also be a secret collaboration between the Norman Group and Simpson Group. Mr. Simpson won't treat either of you unfairly."
