My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 971

Chapter 971: Let It Stir

Ayan couldn't help but smile at Timmy's words. He raised his hand and gently pinched Timmy's cheek, his voice tinged with a soft laugh, "Are you telling the truth?"

Timmy nodded vigorously, fearing that he might miss Ayan's approval if he nodded too slowly.

Then Ayan asked, "Will you be a good boy?"

"Yes," he nodded again.

Ayan chuckled, "Good. Be a good boy and stay home to play with Nanny. Daddy is busy with work, but I'll come find you after I'm done, okay?"

Timmy looked a bit disappointed, and his aunt explained to him in a gentle voice. It was unclear if he understood, but his expression, though still reluctant, didn't continue clinging to Ayan. Instead, he raised his hand and waved, saying, "Goodbye, Daddy!"

Ayan looked at the obedient Timmy and nodded in return, saying, "Goodbye, Timmy!"

After leaving the Simpson's mansion, Ayan drove directly to the company. He hadn't been to the office for two or three days. Originally, he had planned to return to Simpson Group yesterday afternoon, but it had been delayed until now, so he was really occupied in the company.

In his spare time, Kian also briefed him on Cora's situation.

Cora, along with the evidence they had, had already been handed over to the police. The legal procedures were now underway, and Cora herself was being held at the police station.

Kian said, "Cora's phone is in our hands. If Preston tries to contact her, he'll likely call this number."

Ayan showed little reaction, his expression very cold.

Kian gave him a sidelong glance and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Simpson, do you think Preston will contact Cora?"

"Whether he does or not doesn't matter anymore. Cora's matter is settled. Now, I'm curious about what methods Preston will use against my family and me."

Ayan set aside the documents in his hand, his expression dark and his deep eyes filled with a chilling intensity.

Kian nodded slightly and then reported on the matter of being threatened.

Kian said, "I replied to them as per your instructions. There hasn't been any obvious response so far, but they haven't replied either, so it's hard to tell what they're up to."

Ayan wasn't particularly concerned about this matter because he had enough evidence to separate Simpson Group from it. Moreover, the injured villager was now in Hance, under his care. Of course, his actions were not solely to maintain control but also to provide a better treatment environment for the injured villager.

The injured villager already had underlying health issues, and their injuries had made their conditions worse. Therefore, after returning to Flento, Kian arranged for them to be admitted to Dr. Ellis's hospital, which Ayan found reassuring.

Within an hour of Kian briefing Ayan on these matters, news broke on the Hance City forum about Simpson Group's charity project being a sham.

Shortly after, some small media outlets and gossip magazines began to publicize the matter, but they dared not mention it explicitly. They only insinuated, as the forum posts, along with the media reports, quickly spread throughout Hance City and eventually made their way to Twitter, even trending as a hot topic.

The general message was that Simpson Group had initially been involved in a charitable project with good intentions. However, now that it was thriving and had promising prospects, Simpson Group had changed its mind and wanted to profit from the project, which was a violation of the charitable purpose.

With this kind of public opinion erupting, it immediately garnered significant attention. Furthermore, because this matter was associated with charity, which was considered a selfless act by the public, if Simpson Group had indeed acted this way, it naturally made people extremely dissatisfied.

Fueled by public opinion, discontent quickly spiraled out of control. Simpson Group's official social media accounts were flooded with questions about their intentions and demands for a reasonable explanation and an apology.

While Simpson Group led the charitable project, keyboard warriors and bystanders who hadn't lifted a finger were quick to criticize Simpson Group.
