Ayan gently placed Camille on the bed and covered her with a blanket, gazing at her peaceful sleeping face with a mix of warmth and sorrow in his eyes.

He was well aware of the Armstrong family's treatment of Camille, especially Page's harsh words and accusations. Even ona day as important as giving birth, there was no presence from the Armstrong family, leaving Camille feeling deeply disappointed.

In Camille's heart, they still owed her for bearing children for them.

With this underlying relationship, the current situation caused Camille inner turmoil as she faced the impending rumors and gossips, even though they were unrelated to her actions. It was unfair to Camille, and Ayan felt a deep sense of sympathy for her.

He sat by the bedside for a long time, and by now, it was already past one in the morning.

His phone, tucked in his pocket, vibrated at that moment. Concerned about waking Camille, he had set it to silent while sitting on the couch.

He silenced the phone and stepped out onto the balcony before answering. "Hello?" His voice was unusually indifferent.

Kian immediately spoke, "Mr. Simpson, we obtained the entrance surveillance footage of the scenic area faster than the police. We cross-referenced the footage with the timeline and confirmed that Mrs. Armstrong did enter the scenic area with Mr. Armstrong. Mr. Armstrong contacted the scenic area staff an hour later to report Mrs. Armstrong's cliff fall. Since it's not a peak tourist season and not a weekend or holiday, there were few visitors in the scenic area. Our team contacted the tourists who purchased the glass walkway tickets with Mrs. Armstrong and Mr. Armstrong, and they did confirm seeing the two of them. | also obtained a photo from someone's group picture with the silhouette of both of them."

Although the information was received late in the evening, the incident had occurred yesterday afternoon. Brody had returned to the Armstrong family this afternoon because the police were unable to locate him and due to his own poor health. For now, he had police accompaniment back to the Armstrong's villa.

At present, Brody was restricted from going anywhere due to the need for investigation, and the police could arrive at any time. From Brody's provided timeline and the investigation arranged by Ayan's team, everything seemed to be consistent.

Kian immediately sent the photo to Ayan and continued, "Due to the harsh terrain and its elevation, it's possible that a person falling may not land close to the point of the fall, but rather somewhere else. It's quite a challenge, and we even considered sending a helicopter, but with the dense trees everywhere, the helicopter couldn't get close. The search team could only descend from the glass walkway, and due to signal issues, the information we received is limited for now."

Given the late hour and the rainy conditions, the search progress was naturally slow.

Additionally, the scenic area had been temporarily closed due to the incident. They had also been instructed not to disclose information to the public to avoid negative repercussions. The scenic area was cooperative, recognizing their responsibility as the incident occurred on their premises.

Kian briefed Ayan on all the details known so far. Ayan listened without much reaction, merely stating, "Leave the investigation to the search team and the police. If there are any updates, you'll contact me. We may not expect any major progress until tomorrow afternoon or evening. In the meantime, check Brody's call records before, during, and after the trip, and investigate each number."

Kian, puzzled, asked, "Mr. Simpson, do you suspect that someone instructed Mr. Armstrong to do this?”

"He's an adult and a cunning man. | doubt anyone could manipulate him, even with threats, to bear the burden of someone's life, especially his companion. Though their marriage is practically over, every action of theirs still implicates the Armstrong family. He's willing to sacrifice everything for the family, so | don't believe anyone can control him. Their relationship was already broken, so why did they suddenly decide to travel together?"

Ayan's implication was straightforward: explore any significant events that may have occurred during this period. A curious thought crossed his mind, and if it proved true, Brody might be innocent after all. However, this innocence would need confirmation from Kian's investigation.

The situation had taken a sudden turn within a short afternoon. Brody remained tight-lipped, prioritizing communication with the scenic area staff and the police over informing Camille promptly.

Their attitudes mirrored each other's, as neither seemed to have Camille in their minds until they needed her in times of crisis. Ayan scoffed softly, his coldness intensifying.

After ending the call with Kian, Ayan remained on the balcony, lighting a cigarette. He took only a few puffs before planning to brush his teeth. Any displeasure from Camille due to the smoke would be something he wanted to avoid at the moment.

By the time Ayan lay back down, it was nearly three in the morning. His sleep was unsettled, and when he opened his eyes, Camille sat at the edge of the bed lost in thought. Upon hearing him stir, she glanced back at him and said, "You're awake?"

Ayan grunted in response, sitting up and gently wrapping his arms around Camille's waist from behind. "Why don't you get some more sleep?"

"| can't fall back asleep," Camille replied calmly. "I'll go to the om Armstron famiyiatée VP ask Sienna Rateevanicy me, and you should focus on your work at the company." Please read the original content at .

“Alright. If Kian has any updates, I'll inform you right away."

"Okay."

Since they hadn't found anyone yet, Ayan staying at home wouldn't solve anything.

Camille inquired, "When will Grace return to Hance City?"

"She should be back tonight, but | haven't checked the exact time with Horace. He'll likely go pick her up.”

"Okay." With Horace present, she didn't need to worry excessively. Given the current situation, GrRSAT) would surely fingcout Grice she readied td Hance City. The relationship between Brody, Page, and her would grow closer, and Grace's reaction would likely be stronger and more evident than hers. Please read the original content at .

In the end, Camille chose to keep her emotions to herself.
