Chapter 1075: A Commotion

Brody couldn't pretend he didn't understand the implications of thesewords. His expression turned instantly serious, and he fixed Camillewith a cold, displeased stare. But Camille was unfazed and just lookedat him with indifference.

Without waiting for Brody to speak, Camille continued, "You can deny it,but the fact remains that I don't know what you and your wife are tryingto get from me. But if you attempt to threaten me by involving someoneI care about, I won't hesitate to cause chaos.”

Camille's face remained stern, and her eyes were resolute. This wasnot mere talk.

Normally, as a daughter, she would never say these things to her ownparents, but from Camille's perspective, she had reached her limit.The Armstrong family had been unfeeling toward her repeatedly, andshe could bear the humiliation by herself. However, she couldn't allowthe people she cared about to suffer alongside her.

Camille thought about all this, lips tightly pursed, her expressiongrowing colder. She turned to Brody and said, "Of course, you can beindifferent to me exposing your secrets, but when the unsavory truthcomes out, it won't just be you who's affected.”

Perhaps Camille's words struck a chord in Brody's heart, as he finallyreacted. His dark eyes, filled with displeasure, were no longer cold. Heasked in a deep voice, "Did your mother tell you these things?"Camille gazed at Brody indifferently and replied, "You can't deny thatyour relationship isn't as harmonious as it seems on the surface, canyou? There are things that I wouldn't have known if no one had told me.If 1 did replace out, in our relationship, I wouldn't have any interest incoming to tell you, would 1?"

Brody, with a stern face, didn't continue this topic. He asked Camille,"What conditions do you want?"

"Don't worry; I don't want anything conflicting with your interests. I onlyhope she won't bother me anymore. I also hope that none of you willbother me or the people from the Simpson family. To you, we'redispensable anyway, so whether I have any contact with you doesn'tmatter. This condition only benefits you."

Camille's tone was devoid of emotion. In a place Brody couldn't see,her hands were clenched into fists.

Brody didn't respond immediately and couldn't provide an answer rightaway. He maintained his silence, seemingly contemplating andhesitating.

Camille added, "I chose to talk to you, believing you to be morerational. I hope you'll think carefully because my condition doesn't harmyou in any way."

"She knows about my affairs, how much?"

"She probably knows most of what you've done,” Camille replied.Camille was unsure how much Brody had concealed from her, so shecouldn't be certain how much Page knew.

After all, both of them had hidden so much from each other. Theyhadn't been open or honest, especially not with her.

Camille's words were somewhat vague, so Brody couldn't determine aclear answer.

The atmosphere grew increasingly quiet. Sienna spoke up, "MasterArmstrong, if I were you, I'd agree. You just need to keep Mrs.Armstrong in check. If she teams up with Cami, have you consideredthe consequences?"

Brody paused for a moment, carefully considering Sienna's words. Heseemed to anticipate the unfavorable consequences, his expressiongrowing visibly unpleasant.

He asked, "How can I be sure if you genuinely want to cooperate withme, or if she sent you here to deceive me?"

Camille chuckled, "I told you, I'm not that bored. You also know howshe's been relentlessly bothering me lately, right? I replace it annoying, andI don't want this situation to continue. I'm eager to free myself from herharassment. If I had really chosen to cooperate with her, I wouldn't bestanding here now."

Brody fell into silence again, his expression dark as ink.

He squinted and thought deeply for nearly half a minute before hefinally spoke slowly, "Fine, I can help you restrain her from botheringyou, but can you guarantee that she won't reveal my secrets?"

"As long as you're cautious right now, as long as you don't leave herany evidence, she'll only be making baseless claims. If she doesexpose everything, I'll stand as your witness."

"Alright, I'll cooperate with you, but I have a condition," Brody saidindifferently.

"What's the condition?"

"The shares under your name, you take them back from Horace andsell them to me."

Camille chuckled lightly and thought Brody was being a bit too cunning.She said, "Don't you think that's unfair to me?"

Brody remained silent, effectively denying Camille's words.

Camille continued, "Of course, you can choose not to agree. After all,I'm only briefly bothered by her. My loss doesn't amount to much. Butfor you, your losses aren't just limited to financial interests, but alsoyour reputation.”

After all, Brody had built up an image as a devoted father and husband.Once that image crumbled, all the years of effort and dedication wouldbe in vain.

Camille was very confident that Brody would agree. It was only a matterof time.

After several minutes of deadlock, Brody's composed face easedslightly, and he said, "Alright, I'll cooperate with you, but I expect you tokeep your word."

"Of course," Camille responded indifferently.

Since they had reached an agreement, there was no need to lingerfurther.

Camille left the Armstrong's villa and got into her car. She turned toSienna sitting beside her and asked, "Did we just resemble completestrangers negotiating for our own interests?"

"To tell you the truth?" Sienna asked in a low voice.

Camille replied with a smile, "Of course, let's be honest; it's notsomething we can't talk about."

Camille's smile carried a hint of resignation.

Sienna let out a silent sigh and said, "The truth is, some relationshipscan't be forced. If you can't force them, why should you keep sacrificingyourself? While sacrificing yourself, you're actually trying to pleaseothers, even if it's your parents. But being treated with indifferencerepeatedly, being seen as a mere pawn for their benefit — suchrelationships are dispensable.”

After all, in the beginning, it wasn't Camille who had wronged thisrelationship. She had tried hard and attempted to make changes, but inthe end, there was no change at all.

Sienna said many things and consoled Camille a lot.

Camille was well aware of the situation herself. Everything was alreadyset in stone, and even if there were changes now, they wouldn't begenuine. If there were any sincerity, they would have already startedchanging, not waiting until now.

Camille silently thought to herself, a deep sense of helplessness fillingher heart.

But she believed that reaching an agreement with Brody should resolveeverything, or at least make Page stop going insane.

However, Camille was overly optimistic.

Page's actions in the hospital were recorded by the patients andbystanders in the ward and shared on the internet. Thanks to a certainvideo-sharing platform that attracted people from all around the world, ithad become a massive social platform, with traffic rivalling that of anyforum or Twitter.

At least, for the time being, that's how it was.

The videos of a mother injured in a car accident, hospitalized, and herdaughter refusing to show up to care for her, even mistreating hermother in favor of her ex-husband's family, had naturally stirred updiscussions and garnered a crowd of onlookers.

These videos were being passed around, and in just a single morning,the topic had blown up on the short-video platform.
