Chapter 1049: Quarrel

Ayan's speculation was indeed correct. Even though Preston hadaccepted the money, he wasn't feeling great about it. Especially withKian's words, he could already imagine the expression on Ayan's facewhen he handed over the money.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Hisexpression grew increasingly gloomy.

And then there was Camille. Why did she tell Ayan about this? Weren'tthey getting divorced? Weren't they supposed to stay away from Ayan?Why the sudden change of heart?

Is it all a deception?

Liars, all of them!

Preston's emotions became highly unstable, and this naturally upsetthe employees at the boba tea shop. One of the employees steppedout and politely said to Preston, "Sir, could you keep your voice down?"Preston had already suffered at Kian's hands and wasn't going totolerate another employee acting freely toward him. He reactedinstinctively and shouted, "Get lost! Who do you think you are? Do youthink you can boss me around?"

Preston's voice was loud, and his face was extremely unpleasant. Thisbrusque response left the employee too frightened to speak.

Other employees who had come over were also silenced by Preston'sintimidating presence. He looked at them indifferently, his tone cold butcomposed as he said, "Stay away from me, or don't blame me for beingimpolite.”

With that, he picked up the bag on the table and headed toward theemployee who had tried to stop him earlier. He struck the employeewith force, and the employee had no chance to resist.

Other employees murmured, “Isn't this bullying?"

However, they were all a bit scared of the man before them. Thecoldness in his eyes was too malevolent, making them reluctant tomake any moves because they genuinely believed that they couldn'tafford to provoke this man.

Preston left the boba tea shop without further incident. The employeesbreathed a sigh of relief. They quickly went to inquire about thecondition of the employee who had been hit.

Everyone despised Preston's attitude and felt that he was too arrogant.At that moment, a man's voice came from somewhere, "Don't you havesurveillance cameras in your shop? His behavior has been recorded;it's the internet age, so just upload it online!"

The employees exchanged glances and immediately realized that itwas a good idea. After all, bullies should face consequences.

The man's voice chimed in again, "But it's better not to expose toomuch. Just screenshot his conflict with you, so it doesn't affect others."The employees nodded in agreement, saying, "Sure, you can trust us.We won't expose others. Even if we have to quit this job, this guy wasjust too despicable.”

They were filled with resentment, and the more they talked, the angrierthey felt towards Preston. Several of them left their work to check thesurveillance footage on the computer.

While they were busy with this, the man who had given the suggestionearlier left the boba tea shop. He was wearing a cap, concealing histrue identity. No one had noticed him entering while all the attentionwas focused on the dispute between Kian and Preston.

Yesterday evening, Brody and Page from the Armstrong family had arough time at the Simpson family. Whether it was the old Simpson,Fletcher, Talia, or even Ayan, their attitudes were very cold.

Naturally, this left Brody and Page in a bad mood.

Even though they left the Simpson family quite late last night, it didn'tprevent them from arguing from the moment they got into the car.There was only one topic of their argument. Page, as a woman and amother, had failed to maintain a good relationship with Camille. Thishad resulted in many things becoming difficult to accomplish.

Brody sternly accused Page without any regard for the driver who waspresent. Every word was an accusation, and in the end, he shoutedcoldly, "If we can't complete this task, it will be the end for both of usand the entire Armstrong family. You've been living a comfortable life inthe Armstrong family for so many years; it's time for you to givesomething back. No matter what method you use, you must convinceCamille.”

Page clenched her fists tightly, her face frozen without any reaction orexpression.

Not getting a response only fueled Brody's emotions further. He raisedhis hand and pushed Page aggressively, questioning her, "Can youhear me when I talk to you?"

Page bit her lip, feeling extremely frustrated but unwilling to stay silent.She nodded gently, saying, “I heard you. I'll go see her tomorrow, andI'll do whatever it takes to make her marry into the Wesley family."

"Do you really think she can marry into the Wesley family now? I'mafraid even the Wesley family wouldn't want her. Haven't you seenAyan's attitude? The entire Simpson family is protecting her. Is it reallyjust blind protection without any ulterior motives?"

Brody sneered and didn't believe it.

Page looked puzzled and asked, "So what should I do? How should Iconvince Camille?"

“You just need to build a good relationship with Camille. Remember,you're mother and daughter, and there's no lasting grudge between amother and daughter. Past unpleasantness should be replaced withnew happiness. You just need to show the right attitude, and Camillewon't ignore you," Brody said with a pointed look, emphasizing that sheshouldn't mess things up.

Page could only nod gently, but she was already feeling reluctant.Convincing Camille was sure to involve her having to lower herself.However, if she didn't, Brody would continue to apply pressure. Whatshould she do?

This problem troubled Page all night. Since the incident had occurred,she and Brody had officially started sleeping in separate beds. She hadhardly slept a wink, and she got up very late the next morning. Brodyhad already left home.

The housemaid said, "Mr. Armstrong left early this morning. Heinstructed us last night to prepare pastries for him, and he took themwith him."

The staff's words made Page's face turn even uglier, but she didn't sayanything. She quietly had lunch and then prepared herself beforeleaving.

Page's destination was clear. Since Brody had instructed her last night,she couldn't afford to procrastinate. She had to replace Camille as soon aspossible.

Upon reaching Camille's company, she was familiar with the locationsince she had been there before. On her way there, she had evenbought some cakes and coffee. She brought these items up to theoffice floor where Camille worked.

The company's employees, except for the recently hired designassistant, were all familiar faces, and they knew about Page's poorattitude towards Camille. Consequently, they didn't have a favorableimpression of Page. Nevertheless, they greeted her politely.

"Mrs. Armstrong, are you here to see Mr. Armstrong?"

The receptionist asked gently.

Page nodded with a soft smile and inquired, "Yes, indeed. I came tosee her. She's been very busy with work lately, right? Is she still busynow? Will my visit disturb her?"

Page's attitude left the receptionist momentarily stunned. After all, a fewdays ago, when she came here and had a big argument with Camilleand Sienna, the scene was still fresh in everyone's memory.
