My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 897

Chapter 897: Politeness

Due to Preston's collaboration with the Simpson Group on the Mr. and Mrs. Bell project, there were many gossip-hungry reporters gathering outside the Simpson Group, hoping to get some firsthand information.

Everyone who came out of the Simpson Group was asked, "Benjamin is working with the Simpson Group, and his secretary, Sean, has come out to imply that someone wants to frame him. Does Mr. Simpson have anything to say about this? Does Mr. Simpson know the inside story?"

To such questions, everyone chose to remain tight-lipped and gave no response at all. The reporters persisted, indicating that they wouldn't leave until they saw Ayan.

At the same time, reporters and the media were also waiting outside Armstrong Corp.

Some reporters directly called Grace's assistant to inquire about the current situation. "Is it true that Sean and Elijah are father and son? Did Armstrong Corp get involved in Louise's death but shift the blame to Sean for revenge against Elijah?"

The assistant was completely at a loss when faced with such questioning and immediately sought Grace to explain the situation.

Grace, too, encountered such a situation for the first time and had no ideas, so she went to find Horace. Although they were together now, they kept their relationship secret at Armstrong Corp to avoid being perceived as not taking work seriously.

Grace knocked on Horace's office door, her expression serious as she entered and told him about the assistant's words. She asked, "What should we do? Won't the media assume that it's us? This will bring negative impact to Armstrong Corp, and if the police come to investigate, it will be even harder."

Horace furrowed his brows immediately. He looked at Grace with a hint of tenderness in his otherwise cold gaze. He said, "It's just a phone call, don't worry or panic. This matter has nothing to do with Armstrong Corp, and we shouldn't be afraid of any questioning."

"But the call was directly made to my assistant, and she didn't know what to do and hung up. Could this cause trouble?"

Grace looked worriedly at Horace, seeking his advice.

Horace got up, held her hand, led her to sit beside him, and considerately poured her a glass of water before calmly saying, "Since they're waiting outside Armstrong Corp, this won't do. The situation at Simpson Group is probably similar. Why don't you ask Camille? See what Ayan intends to do. We can just follow their lead."

"Is that okay?"

"Yes, it won't jeopardize Simpson Group's interests. If Camille can help us ask, that's great. If Simpson Group can't reveal anything, it's alright. We'll think of another way."

Horace's approach was clear and straightforward. If Ayan had a way to deal with this matter, they could learn from it. If Simpson Group couldn't reveal anything, they would find other solutions. He was concerned that Armstrong Corp making the first move might lead to suspicions.

After Horace's words, Grace immediately called Camille.

Camille didn't answer as she was currently in a meeting with many people in the conference room, making it inconvenient for her to take calls.

So she sent a message to Grace: "I'm busy. What's up?"

Grace quickly explained her thoughts to Camille and asked her for help: "Can you ask Mr. Simpson about his plans?"

Camille's eyes subconsciously glanced at Jenson, as Grace's words shocked her and made her realize what might have happened outside.

Her immediate concern wasn't about the external situation but about Jenson. Jenson suddenly arranged for everyone to gather at the museum, claiming it was to prepare for the police to question them and make statements. Was that really the case?

Camille didn't know why, but upon hearing Grace's words, her first reaction was to look at Jenson, and she felt a deep sense of doubt.

Her direct gaze caused Jenson to look back at her. Compared to her complex expression, Jenson's gaze was more open and even included a polite nod as a form of greeting.
