Listen, is she even a bit afraid of making Ayan angry?
She's just a total drama queen.
Camille also cooperated by raising her hand and pulling her into embrace, soothing her softly, "Don't think too much. If he's sensible, he won't be upset. After all, we haven't seen each other for so long. You're my little baby, and it doesn't matter if anyone is angry."
Sienna nodded, snuggling in Camille's arms like a typical drama queen. Although Ayan didn't hear their conversation, something seemed off when he answered the call. He felt like someone was trying to instigate a conflict between him and Camille.
The call Ayan received was from Kian, who relayed the current situation of Campole in detail.
Kian said, "According to our cooperation with Mr. Dávalos and Mr. Moya, Norman Group has already started issuing statements and is demanding that lawyers hold those who made accusations against Austin accountable. The investigation has begun. Mr. Dávalos and Mr. Moya just contacted me as well. Their actions have made most of the people in Campole and the online community side with Norman Group and Austin. Now it depends on what Austin will do next."
Ayan squinted his eyes and uttered a flat "Hmm" without any warmth in his voice.
He continued, "Since Mr. Dávalos and Mr. Moya have chosen to cooperate with us, you can decide what to do after this matter is resolved. Arrange for someone to stay in Campole to keep in touch with them."
"Yes, that's what I planned. So can I go to Dane City directly after Austin responds?"
"Yes."
Ayan replied softly.
The conversation didn't last too long because Kian was still meeting with Mr. Dávalos and Mr. Moya, so after ending the call, he immediately returned to the private room to continue dining with them.
Mr. Dávalos knew that Kian's call was for Ayan, and Kian didn't hide it. He admitted it candidly when Mr. Dávalos asked.
Mr. Dávalos looked thoughtful and asked in a low voice, "Kian, does Mr. Simpson know about this? Will Norman Group be implicated because of Austin? If Norman Group is involved into it, it will be trouble."
"Don't worry, I already mentioned it at the beginning. Mr. Simpson only targets those who provoke him. Austin has crossed Mr. Simpson's bottom line, so he had to take action against him. As for the others, even though they work for Austin and also Norman Group, they are innocent, especially you two. We have a cooperative relationship now, so how could Mr. Simpson target you?"
Kian looked sincerely at the two men. His words were not just to placate them; they reflected Ayan's true thoughts as well.
Having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy.
Especially after this incident, Mr. Dávalos and Mr. Moya have completely taken over Norman Group. In the future, there may be many things that require their assistance.
After receiving Kian's response, Mr. Dávalos and Mr. Moya raised their glasses and clinked them with Kian's, saying, "Then we'll rely on Kian to speak for us in front of Mr. Simpson. Although Norman Group may not be as prosperous as Simpson Group, it is still an established company with a strong voice in Campole. As long as Mr. Simpson stands by our side, we will have the best cooperative relationship with him in the future."
Kian nodded and said, "You're being too polite. Since you've chosen to be on the same boat as us, we're naturally friends now. Mr. Simpson couldn't come personally this time due to some personal matters, but he has asked me to come here on his behalf. Once there's a response from Austin, I might leave Campole first. It has been a long time, and Austin might start to suspect something, so I'll arrange for an assistant here to stay in contact with both of you."
Mr. Dávalos and Mr. Moya also nodded in agreement.
At this point, Mr. Moya raised his own question and asked, "Kian, does Mr. Simpson mean that our cooperation should remain confidential?"
Mr. Moya had concerns about this kind of secretive collaboration. What if Ayan suddenly refused to cooperate?
