My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1393: Storm

Chapter 1393: Storm

She was well aware that everything Camille said was for her own good, and for her future benefits. If Camille wanted to take control of anything in Armstrong Corp, she didn't need to do all this. She could handle it coldly and leave all the problems for her to deal with when she returned.

But Camille didn't do that, and what Ayan did was only because of Camille's sake that he was willing to help. She understood and was aware of everything.

She looked at Camille with a faint sense of apology in her eyes, but before she could speak, Camille spoke, "Let's rest for now. We don't expect you to make a decision right away. Of course, it's necessary to agree to the involvement of the medical examiner tonight, as there is no time to delay. They won't give us time to think. If we weren't worried that things might happen quietly, we wouldn't have kept the news of finding mom a secret until you returned."

It was all just to guard against Brody. Of course, all this was Ayan's idea; she didn't think so much.

Camille looked at Grace and continued, "Don't think too much. It will take several more days for the medical examiner to be involved. You just need to make a decision before then. The next two days, just rest well. As for the Armstrong family, Ayan has already arranged it so that outsiders won't have contact with them."

Grace nodded understandingly and looked gratefully at Camille and Ayan.

Grace and Horace were assigned to a nice guest room on the second floor, which was already cleaned and provided with fresh clothes, towels, and other necessities.

Upon returning to the room, Grace had no intention to sleep. She sat on the sofa, somewhat unsure, and asked Horace, "Was my reaction a bit too distant just now? Cami is looking out for me, and standing by me. | know everything they've done, but | couldn't accept it for a moment. But I'm afraid | might hurt Cami, will 1?"

"You won't. They understand who you are and know that you're not capable of such things, nor do you have any other intentions. So they won't misunderstand you. Just don't overthink it, okay?" Horace looked at Grace, realizing they hadn't had a proper conversation since he arrived.

Looking at Grace now, he felt like she had lost so much in just a few hours, appearing dull and lifeless.

Seeing Grace like this made him feel sorry for her. He gently hugged her, his voice filled with tenderness, "Grace, none of us wanted this to happen. Remember, don't blame yourself or feel guilty. If there's anything you can't tell them, tell me. I'm not just your boyfriend, I'm your friend too, okay?"

Grace nodded lightly. She raised her hand and grabbed the corner of Horace's shirt, whispering, "] know. Don't worry, I'll be fine. | need to get stronger now, there are still many things waiting for me to handle!"

"I'm relieved to hear you say that. But remember, taking care of yourself comes first in everything you do." "Yes, don't worry!"

Grace nodded again. Horace then held her hand and walked her to the bathroom door, saying, "It's getting late, and you must be tired. Take a bath and get some rest."

Grace pursed her lips. It was now dawning on her that she would be sharing a room with Horace that night. The temperature on her face rose unconsciously, and she dared not look directly into Horace's eyes anymore. Pursing her lips again, she took the clothes Horace handed her and walked into the bathroom.

After Grace went to take a bath, Horace didn't stay in the bedroom either. He left the room and headed to the end of the hallway, pushing open the door to the balcony outside, where he saw Ayan's figure.

They had agreed to meet alone and have a chat.

Ayan turned around, handed him a cigarette, and the two quietly smoked for a while. Horace checked the time and then spoke, "Mr. Simpson, considering the current situation of the Armstrong family, Armstrong Corp is likely to be greatly affected. So, | wanted to ask if you have any good suggestions?"

Horace was direct.

Ayan didn't beat around the bush either and calmly said, "The only way to prevent Armstrong Corp from being affected is to eliminate the root of the problem within Armstrong Corp."

"The root of the problem?" Horace frowned slightly. "He probably won't agree."

“But at the moment, the current situation doesn't allow him to agree or disagree. If he doesn't agree, Armstrong Corp will definitely be in trouble, and people might suspect that you were the one behind it. Especially if your relationship with Grace is revealed, both of you will face gossip and complications. It's better to ensure everything is foolproof."

“But in what way can he agree?"

Ayan smiled faintly and looked at Horace with meaningful eyes, finally saying, "Naturally, it's about meeting someone else's needs."

Meeting someone's needs?

Horace was taken aback. What were Brody's needs?

It was obviously money.

Especially after listening to those recordings, he was more certain that all Brody needed was Ne aan t speneig fifetinie Ud © support his son outside, as Brody clearly didn't plan to stay in the country after what had happened. It required a lot of money to move abroad, especially to support a son. Please read the original content at .

Horace met Ayan's gaze. They exchanged a knowing look and faint smiles.

Without much more talk, Horace was mainly concerned about Armstrong Corp at the moment, as Bro HM ‘oealhe, alreatly‘a Hane deal.

Neither of them mentioned this to Camille and Grace; they would wait until everything settled completely before addressing it. They both decided to forget about everything for now and enjoy the peaceful moments.

They both fell asleep and woke up the next day after 10 a. m.

Ayan was the first to wake up, as Simpson Group had a video conference scheduled, so he got up before 9 a. m.

After finishing work-related matters, Ayan asked the maid to prepare lunch early, as they would eat breakfast and lunch together. He poured himself a cup of coffee and stayed alone in the study. At that moment, Kian's call came in.

Kian said, "Mr. Simpson, our appointed medical examiner has conducted preliminary tests and found an unexpected result based on Mrs. Armstrong's physical examination."This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
