Chapter 1562: Things
"What does his mother need help with? As I mentioned before, we were college roommates and classmates. However, he moved out of the dormitory after some incidents during our university days." Ayan also lived in the dormitory during his college years, surrounded by familiar faces. Later, in his senior year, when the number of classes decreased, he moved out and started living on his own. Since their graduation, the two of them hardly ever met. They were both busy with their own lives, with no spare time to inquire about each other's activities. Jordan was reluctant to bring up his own matters, and they didn't feel comfortable prying as classmates. Over time, their relationship naturally grew distant.
Even during their conversation today, they didn't mention their past connection.
Of course, Mrs. Bailey had met Ayan on more than one occasion. She was friendly and warm towards them. However, too many things had happened to them, each incident crushing their self-esteem. In reality, Ayan, Rex, and Derek had all secretly offered their help, but it couldn't be too obvious. Otherwise, Jordan would feel uneasy and indebted to them.
Ayan didn't talk much about his relationship with Jordan to Camille.
He didn't want to bring up misunderstandings between him and other people in front of her.
Because certain feelings were gradually spreading in her heart, making him experience an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Ayan took a silent breath and gently kissed Camille's cheek. "I'm going to take a shower and rest for a while. Will you accompany me? I've been attending frequent meetings in Campole these past few days without proper rest. I want to sleep, and if there's anything urgent, we can discuss it tomorrow morning, alright?"
Ayan had already shown his vulnerability, and his gaze remained fixed on Camille. In the end, Camille softly murmured in agreement.
After Ayan finished showering, they both went to sleep. Truly, they just slept, because the timing and circumstances were not suitable for anything else. They needed rest and a good night's sleep. Both of their phones were set to silent mode, and they slept until after 9 o'clock the next morning.
While they rested, things continued to escalate online. Although Jordan had made great efforts to suppress the trending topics and delete videos, there were people constantly escalating the situation, causing trouble for Jordan's side.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
The majority of the Bailey family's power was still in David's hands. Although Jordan was gradually making his presence known in the Su Corporation, he had only just dipped his toe in. It wasn't easy for him to truly obtain the Bailey family.
Therefore, Jordan's ability to handle the situation was limited, and many people couldn't be of use to him. Additionally, some people were not needed at the moment, so he remained cautious and passive. Mrs. Bailey had made several phone calls to Jordan. She was almost driven to madness by her own foolishness. At that time, she truly hadn't thought about all these things. It was only after these incidents occurred that she reacted with belated awareness.
At this moment, Mrs. Bailey called again.
When the call connected, Mrs. Bailey anxiously said, "Jordan, how is the situation being handled? It's all because of Mom that you're facing such troubles. If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know. Don't worry about me losing face or dignity by getting involved. As long as everything turns out fine, I don't mind at all."
Jordan gently said, "There's nothing to worry about. Ayan will issue a statement, and he will handle this matter, knowing it might cause him some trouble."
"You haven't been in contact with him for years. Won't he be resentful towards you?" asked his mother.
"Mom, you don't understand him. He's not that kind of person," Jordan reassured his mother, avoiding any further mention of Ayan. He wanted to comfort his mother, urging her not to feel any pressure or continue with random thoughts. Everything would turn out fine.
After finishing the call with Mrs. Bailey, Jordan lit a cigarette. He had quit smoking a long time ago, but after the events of last night, he had been too busy to get any sleep. In the end, he had to ask his secretary to buy him a pack of cigarettes to keep himself awake.
He looked at his phone, seeing that people were still discussing his video with Camille. Ayan, on the other hand, remained silent throughout. Jordan's mind was filled with speculation about what it meant. Could it be that Ayan was angry because of Camille's video and decided not to address the issue?
Based on their conversation last night, Ayan didn't seem to have strong emotions. Moreover, considering his understanding of Ayan, it was unlikely that Ayan didn't know it was all a misunderstanding.
He took a silent breath, determined to be prepared for any scenario. He couldn't let personal reasons create any rumors about Camille. It wouldn't be fair to her, even if he had selfish intentions. But now was not the time for that.
He called his secretary, saying, "Notify our team to release what they have to divert attention from this incident."
"Mr. Bailey, that's too risky. We
haven't completed our preparations yet. If you release what we have now to suppress this trending topic, David and the Bailey family will know our true intentions," the secretary anxiously advised, hoping Jordan wouldn't make this decision. What they held in their hands was more important than the current situation.
However, Jordan had made up his mind, and no one could change it. Because he didn't want Camille to continue facing these discussions. As Ayan's ex-wife, even though they were divorced, they still maintained a public relationship as a pursuing couple. They also had a child together. Having their names associated in a negative context would have a detrimentaPimpact on Camille, and he needed to resolve it.
Jordan remained silent, and the secretary stopped persuading him.
But just as the secretary was about to give further instructions, they saw a message released by the Simpson Group.
The secretary immediately called Jordan, saying, "Mr. Bailey, we don't need to take any action. Ayan has taken the lead." The secretary's words were filled with joy because now they didn't have to use their own resources.
However, what the secretary didn't know was that Jordan had already prepared to release everything to suppress this matter. At least in that way, he would have resolved the issue caused by his own actions, as it was his responsibility to Camille. But now, it wasn't necessary.
The official account of the Simpson Group had released a message.
Once the message from the Simpson Group was out, it immediately climbed to the top of the trending list. Numerous influential accounts retweeted it, and internet users claiming to know both individuals flooded the comments section below.
