My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 997

Chapter 997: Deal

Ayan raised his hand and gently stroked her hair, his magnetic voice soothing, "Don't overthink it, okay? It's not like that. All of this is just because of their selfishness, it has nothing to do with you, alright?"

Ayan continued to reassure Camille, not wanting her to harbor any discomfort or unfounded thoughts.

His eyes were half-lidded, filled with tenderness as he kept gazing at Camille.

Perhaps worried that Camille might still be overthinking, his voice became even lower and huskier as he said, "I'll handle this matter. If they ever contact you again, just reject them outright. No matter what methods or threats they use, don't respond, okay?"

Camille nodded gently, feeling somewhat relieved by Ayan's words.

From the moment she went to the Armstrong family to hearing what Brody and Page had said, her heart had been in turmoil.

Camille had already been deeply disappointed, but she hadn't anticipated that there would be something even more disappointing.

She nestled into Ayan's embrace, her eyes unblinking, her voice low and hoarse as she asked, "Do they gain anything good from doing this? Why would they go to such lengths to make things difficult for me?"

Ayan didn't answer Camille's question directly, but he had already reached his own conclusions about the Armstrong family's intentions.

In a soft voice, he reassured Camille not to overthink things and told her that as long as he was there, she didn't need to worry. He emphasized that she should avoid any contact with the Armstrong family.

However, despite his comforting words, Camille couldn't help but feel a lingering sense of unease deep within her.

She had never held any hope or illusions about the Armstrong family, but even so, they were imprinted on her to some extent.

Ayan didn't let Camille dwell on her thoughts any longer and told her to take a shower. It was already late at night.

As Camille went to take a shower, Ayan walked to the balcony and picked up his phone to dial a series of numbers.

The call was quickly answered, and Kian's voice came through. Ayan spoke indifferently, "Check into the Chesen's Wesley family's background and their connections with the Armstrong family. Find out if the Armstrong family gained any benefits from this."

Kian didn't understand why Ayan was calling him and asking to investigate the Armstrong family at this hour, but he quickly acknowledged the request.

In truth, it wasn't difficult to find information about the Armstrong family. A little digging would reveal the truth.

Five minutes later, Kian called Ayan back.

He informed Ayan, "Mr. Simpson, the Wesley family holds a significant position in Chesen City and can be considered an affluent family. However, their only son, Derrick, was involved in a car accident and has been in a vegetative state ever since. Recently, the patriarch of the Wesley family, known as the old Simpson, has been in deteriorating health over the past six months. They are planning to select an heir from among their three sons and several grandsons. Derrick's parents were anxious to ensure that Derrick had a child to gain the sympathy of the his grandfather and regain control of the Wesley Group's inheritance."

This matter wasn't a secret in Chesen, and almost everyone in the city's social circles knew about it. Derrick's parents didn't choose a local girl to avoid revealing their true intentions in the competition for the family assets, fearing that the other party would demand exorbitant terms.

Therefore, they reached out to the Armstrong family.

As for the Armstrong family's motives, it was straightforward: they wanted money. As long as the payment was substantial, they didn't care about what would happen to Camille once she was married into the Wesley family.

However, it wasn't clear how much money Brody had demanded from the Wesley family. This was something only the four people involved would know.

Upon hearing Kian's report, Ayan's handsome face had turned icy cold.

The actions of the Armstrong family were beyond outrageous. They were challenging his limits and blatantly disregarding the Simpson family, showing no compassion whatsoever toward Camille.

Ayan, with his frigid expression and cold tone, asked, "Find out where the Wesley family people are staying in Hance City."
