Chapter 1032: Calculations
Talia's excited tone left Camille momentarily stunned.
She blinked silently, and Sienna, seeing this, instinctively thought Taliamight be scolding Camille. She signaled Camille with her eyes, andCamille shook her head slightly.
Talia continued, "What the Armstrong family is doing is just bullying.They can be unreasonable, and they can do whatever they want, butthey can't target you. I'm the first one to disagree with this. Cami, restassured, no matter when, we're on your side. I'll have Fletcher deal withthe Armstrong family personally.”
Talia's attitude wasn't just talk; she and the entire Simpson family stoodbehind Camille.
No matter when or what happened, they believed in Camille withoutany conditions and supported her.
Camille listened to these words and felt deeply moved. Although shehad questioned countless times why the Simpson family treated her sowell, the Armstrong family, with a shared bloodline and the samesurname, remained indifferent to her.
She pursed her lips and, feeling touched, said, "Mom, thank you."“You, my child, why say thank you? We're family, and there's no needto thank family.”
“Yeah, I know." Even though there was no need for thanks, Camille feltextremely grateful.
After Camille's confession, Talia fully understood the situation. She toldCamille, "You don't need to feel any pressure or feel guilty as you didearlier. This situation isn't your fault, and it's not something you wanted.You're innocent, and you're the victim here, so don't feel guilty for anyreason, understand?"
Camille smiled softly, and the worry in her expression completelydisappeared. She replied in a low voice, "Mom, you're spoiling me!"“I'm willing to spoil you," Talia said with a smile. "Not just me; our entireSimpson family is like this. We're family and friends, and mutualunderstanding and support are natural.”
Talia said many heartfelt words, and the mother-daughter duo chattedpleasantly. The initial worry turned out to be unnecessary.
After her conversation with Talia, Camille sighed and told Sienna, "Ithought they might blame me a bit, but now it seems I was too petty.They are incredibly kind to me."
Sienna agreed, "You're right. I thought that a family the Simpsons thiswould have high expectations for their daughter-in-law. You don't needto say anything. You're outstanding and a perfect match for Ayan. ButI'm different. I have nothing to offer, yet my mother-in-law doesn'tdislike me at all. She even supports me in front of Rex's family."Sienna couldn't help but sigh, thinking about her own problems, andher mood turned gloomy.
Camille quickly interrupted, "What are you talking about? Who saysyou're not worthy? As long as you're happy with Rex, it's good.Besides, you're not inferior to anyone, right?"
Camille scolded her, and her eyes were quite stern as she gave Siennaa disapproving look. Sienna immediately stopped talking, not daring tocontinue.
Camille and Sienna became close friends for a reason. They both gaveeach other confidence and endless support. They didn't allow eachother to be unconfident. Perhaps, this was the best way for friends tointeract, through mutual encouragement and companionship.
Sienna quickly changed the topic and said, "With all that's happening inthe Armstrong family, how come Grace is not involved? Her relationshipwith you has improved, hasn't it? Did she side with your parentsagain?"
Camille shook her head and denied, "No, it's not like that. She's in atough spot too. Although the Armstrong family treats me a bit worse,their priority is still their interests. Given the current situation, shewouldn't have it easy if she stayed with the Armstrong family. So, sheleft home.”
"Left home? Her?" Sienna found it hard to believe because Grace wasusually an obedient girl. She even followed Page's clothing choices.So, it was quite shocking for her to do something so bold.
Camille nodded and said, "In fact, it's good that she left. Waiting for theArmstrong family to figure it out before she returns means she won'thave to suffer so much.”
"That's true, but what exactly is going on in your parents’ minds? Theycould live a good life, yet they insist on causing trouble. It's like they'reasking for trouble. I wish I could open their heads to see what's inside."“Don't be so gruesome. We should keep things positive and healthy,right?"
“I'm just concerned about you, feeling like you're being treated unfairly.The Armstrong family hasn't done anything good for you, but every timethere's trouble, they pass it on to you. It's really frustrating,” Siennasaid, her anger flaring up because she felt Camille deserved better.Camille had grown used to it. Plus, with Talia and Ayan’s consolationand support, many things had become much less significant in hermind. So when she saw Sienna get so emotional, she calmly replied, "Ifyou're concerned for me, then please treat me to lunch!"
Sienna was still caught up in her emotions, and the suggestion of lunchnearly took her breath away.
However, they couldn't have that meal because the Armstrong family'sstatement was generating more and more heat. Many reporters hadgone to the Armstrong's villa and camped outside. As soon as they sawBrody and Page leave, the reporters swarmed them. They eagerlybombarded them with questions: "Mr. Armstrong, Mrs. Armstrong, is ittrue that your daughter Camille has divorced Simpson Group's CEO,Ayan? Is everything happening with Armstrong Corp also because ofMr. Simpson and Camille's divorce?"
"Mr. Armstrong, where is Camille? Why isn't she coming out to speak?Has she been confined by Mr. Simpson and lost her freedom? Haveyou, as parents, considered any way to rescue your daughter?"
"Mr. Armstrong, by revealing everything now, you're antagonizing theentire Simpson family and Simpson Group. Have you thought about theconsequences that the Armstrong family may not be able to bear?""The Simpson family hasn't responded yet. Is this matter not true, andis it Mr. Armstrong manipulating it?"
The questions from the reporters kept coming like a flood.
Facing this barrage, Brody and Page exchanged a glance. Page thenraised her hand to cover her mouth, and her eyes blinked as theywelled up with tears. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she addressedthe journalists’ cameras. With a quivering voice, she said, “I'm sorry fortaking up public resources with our family matters, and I appreciateyour attention and concern. I don't want to give too many explanationsregarding this matter because our family is in a very difficult place rightnow. I have to go to the hospital. As you all know, my husband's healthhas always been fragile. He was hospitalized for a long time before,and just when he was slightly better, this happened.”
Page verbally declared that she didn't want to explain too much, but inreality, she shared many things she shouldn't have.
Though her words didn't directly point to anyone, anyone who heardthem could tell that she was talking about Ayan.
After saying these words, some reporters pressed further, "Mrs.Armstrong, are you admitting that your daughter Camille has indeeddivorced Mr. Simpson? Is all this not just a publicity stunt? Yourdaughter is still with Mr. Simpson, and he won't agree to the divorce,right?"
Page didn't respond. She continued to sob softly and said, "I reallydon't want to say too much about this. No one would joke about theirown health. I hope you can understand our current state of mind. Thankyou for your concern. We've made an appointment with a doctor, so weneed to go to the hospital now."
After that, Page rolled up the car window and instructed the driver tostart the car.
Page looked at Brody, and she asked in a low voice, "Is this reallygoing to work?"
"Whether it works or not, we'll know soon. Both the media and netizentend to support the underdog. Only by showing a vulnerable andhelpless side will they resonate with us. They'll believe that Ayan is trulymistreating us. Only by having everyone attack Ayan can he let go ofpursuing us," Brody said, his eyes filled with calculating and sinisterintent.
