Ayan couldn't help but chuckle at his own words, a smile briefly gracing his face. However, the smile carried a chilling undertone, sending shivers down everyone's spine in the room.
No one dared to speak as this matter couldn't be simply brushed aside, especially now that Ayan had heard it. He couldn't pretend he hadn't.
His icy gaze fell upon Camille as he softened his expression, speaking in a low voice, "So, what did they just say to you? That they intend to marry you off to someone else?"
Camille met Ayan's eyes with an expressionless face, her gaze equally cold. She parted her lips to speak but was preempted by Page.
Page interjected, "Ayan, you misunderstood. It's nothing."
She reached out and pulled Camille aside, whispering, "Cami, why don't you take Ayan upstairs for a tour around?"
Camille didn't budge. She had no intention of following Page's suggestion. Instead, she asked dispassionately, "Why would I take him upstairs this late? Are you planning to have both of us stay here? Aren't you afraid Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley might misunderstand?"
Camille cast a fleeting, cold glance at Page before turning her attention back to Ayan, saying, "Exactly. They intend to introduce me to the Wesley family from Chesen. Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley even came here, planning for me to pack up and leave with them in the next few days!"
Camille had always been someone who preferred not to complain, even if she had to bear injustices. Especially when dealing with the Armstrong family, she had already done everything she was supposed to. But the continued coldness and heartlessness she faced from them in return were becoming unbearable and disgusting.
The thought that they were introducing her to someone else behind her back, even though she was divorced from Ayan, and that they were fully aware of the existence of Timmy, was something she couldn't accept.
No, she didn't believe it.
Of course, they knew.
It was simple enough to find out if they wanted to, not some deep secret that couldn't be uncovered.
Camille took a silent deep breath, growing increasingly infuriated by Brody and Page's behavior. She cast an icy, unfamiliar look at Page and said, "If you really think I'm profiting from carrying the Armstrong family's name, I can change it. If that's not enough, you can cut ties with me. But can't you stop demeaning me like this repeatedly?"
Camille finished speaking with an emotionless expression and turned to Ayan, saying, "Let's go."
Ayan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his expression cold. He didn't move but instead reached back to clasp Camille's hand, addressing Brody in a chilly tone, "So, is this the intention of the entire Armstrong family? To marry my woman off to someone else? You dare to think this way. Who gave you the right and the audacity?"
Ayan's questioning left Brody and Page stunned.
But now that Ayan and Camille were divorced, and with Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley present, Brody felt a bit more assertive, as if he had some other support, and that he could disregard Ayan.
Brody replied, "Ayan, you and Cami are already divorced. Even if you have a child between you, it's still necessary to maintain some distance. Besides, how we arrange things is a matter for the Armstrong family. It's better if you don't interfere."
"Hmph! The Armstrong family's matter?" Ayan snorted coldly. He continued in an indifferent tone, "Do you even treat her as part of the Armstrong family?"
Brody's face grew stiffer, and Page jumped in, saying, "Ayan, what do you mean by that? Did she tell you something? The Armstrong family has done everything for her. If not for us, could she have married into the Simpson family? Right now, we just want what's best for her."
Page then proceeded to scold Camille for lacking gratitude.
The Wesley family was still struggling to grasp the full context of the conversation, but the one thing they understood was Ayan's identity as Camille's ex-husband.
However, seeing Camille display such intimate behavior with her former husband after their divorce was something Mrs. Wesley couldn't accept. She interrupted the argument, saying, "Mr. Armstrong, Mrs. Armstrong, we had an agreement. Her personal life must be clean. Although Derrick Wesley is currently ill, the doctor said he could wake up at any moment. We don't want to be taken advantage of!"
