My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 847

Chapter 847: Shift

This news also reached Austin at the first possible moment. When Jeremiah informed Austin of it, he was in the midst of a pool party with a bunch of friends, surrounded by beautiful women, and the atmosphere was lively.

So, when Jeremiah called, Austin was somewhat unhappy because he had been interrupted.

Naturally, his tone towards Jeremiah wasn't going to be pleasant. He asked indifferently, "Can't it wait until I finish enjoying myself?"

Jeremiah hesitated for a moment, then after careful consideration, he decided to speak up. "Mr. Norman, it concerns you, so you better come out quickly. I'm waiting for you at the entrance."

Austin's mood instantly soured. His face immediately darkened, and he pushed away the woman in his arms, got up from the pool, and coldly asked, displeased, "What's the matter? Just spit it out, don't beat around the bush."

Jeremiah's expression also stiffened. He wished to speak in front of Austin, as it would be better to address this matter face-to-face. However, Austin's attitude was firm. If he went straight into the pool party at this moment, everyone would probably find out, and that wouldn't be good for him. After all, Austin still cared about his image.

After much hesitation, Jeremiah spoke in a low voice, "Mr. Norman, someone in the company's internal group has leaked the information about your long-term illegal collaborations under the guise of Norman Group projects, including money laundering..."

Jeremiah's voice grew quieter as he continued speaking. In truth, he knew in his heart whether what Austin had done was true or false. Although he hadn't been directly involved because Austin had kept him in the dark, he had been by Austin's side for many years. He had some sense of anticipation and intuition about certain things.

After informing Austin about what had happened in the company's internal group, there was silence on Austin's end for a long time. The atmosphere was extremely quiet, and Jeremiah dared not say anything, holding his breath as he awaited Austin's reaction.

Austin's face suddenly turned rigid and cold. The woman who had just come out of his embrace saw him emerging from the water and quickly walked over, holding a robe to cover him, and reaching out to hug him. However, she was frightened by Austin's expression.

The woman asked with concern, "Mr. Norman, what's wrong?"

Austin remained silent. His brows furrowed tightly, his face extremely cold and grim, exuding a hint of anger. He said in a chilling voice, "Fxxk off!"

The woman was instantly at a loss, but she still maintained a smile and said, "Mr. Norman, you were just holding me. Why do you seem like a different person now?"

The woman's voice wasn't too loud or too soft, but the people around happened to overhear.

The people present were all familiar with Austin, so several men who were standing nearby immediately spoke up, asking, "What's wrong with Austin? Is it because the girl didn't serve him well? When it comes to women, just get a new one, problem solved!"

After these men spoke, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. The woman standing in front of Austin instantly fell silent, her expression stiff. Finally, she walked away, not daring to utter another word to Austin.

Only then did Austin calmly say to Jeremiah on the phone, "I'm coming out now."

He hung up the phone, quickly got dressed, and when his friends saw him about to leave, they exclaimed, "Austin, you're leaving? We're having a great time. What are we going to do without you?"

Since Austin was paying for most of the gathering, this pool party had invited many internet celebrities, and the cost was not insignificant.

Although they were all wealthy playboys in the same circle, nobody had as much money as Austin, and nobody wanted to waste their money like that.

Austin glanced at everyone with cold eyes and said indifferently, "You can't live without me?"

After hearing his words and seeing his expression, everyone fell silent, and it wasn't until Austin walked away that they coldly scoffed, "If you can't afford it, then don't ever start it!"

But Austin didn't care about their comments at all because what was happening now was a thousand times more important than their opinions.

Austin came out of the pool party, and Jeremiah's car was already waiting at the entrance. When Austin came out, Jeremiah immediately got out of the driver's seat and opened the back door for him.

With a stern face, Austin got into the car, and Jeremiah quickly got into the driver's seat and started the engine, driving away.
