Chapter 1076: Clarification

However, Camille wasn't the first to replace out because she and Siennahad returned directly to the company after leaving the Armstrong's villa.They had already settled on the theme for the design competition theywere preparing for. They gathered a few of the team members involvedin the competition for a discussion in the conference room.

Yessica, though not involved in the design competition, was asked tofollow along to learn in case her expertise was needed for futureprojects.

So, they were busy discussing the design competition. Otheremployees had their own work to attend to, and nobody was watchingvideos during office hours.

As a result, Camille had no way of knowing right away.

Kian was actually the first to hear about it.

Kian's assistant had informed him when they were coordinatingSimpson Group's work. Kian immediately checked the short video appand was shocked by what he saw. He knew how rapidly content spreadon the platform.

He didn't dare to delay and immediately went to replace Ayan.

Ayan was in the middle of listening to a project manager's report on theproject's progress and the issues that had arisen.

Kian had no choice but to knock on the door of the conference room.He apologized to everyone and then approached Ayan, leaning in closeto Ayan's ear to quietly relay the information he had just received.Ayan's expression instantly turned serious, and his voice was low as hesaid, "Handle it immediately. Contact Horace and have him reach out tothe Armstrong family. We need to clarify things now before the situationescalates any further."

Kian nodded in understanding. “I got it."

Following Ayan's instructions, Kian acted swiftly. Although the incidenthad just come to light, some people had already recognized Page andthus knew she was Camille's mother.

Camille's relationship with Ayan wasn't a secret, and most people inHance City's social circles were aware of the connection between theArmstrong family and the Simpson family.

Once the news broke, discussions began to circulate widely, and iteven brought Grace's situation into the mix.

Some started to claim that Grace's sudden departure was Camille'sfault. Page asserted that Grace had always been obedient and well-behaved, and only Camille could influence her to act so rebellious. Thislaid blame on Camille, saying she was sowing discord within the family.Comments from online users followed:

"Camille is truly malicious. I heard there were issues between her andher family, but it seems she brought it upon herself. Such peopledeserve their family's disapproval.”

"Yes, I've heard Ayan divorced her because of her malicious intentions,not wanting her to corrupt their child. Isn't that why they divorced?""The Simpson family is still treating her well. I guess it's all just a self-created persona for her public image, right? The Simpson family hasn'tcome forward to say how much they appreciate Camille."

"I agree with what the previous commenter said.”

"Guys, now that Camille's biological mother is revealing her true nature,how will she excuse herself this time? I doubt she can explain anythingaway."

"Her biological mother wouldn't just casually slander her daughter. Herdaughter must have done something to break her heart; otherwise, howcould it be possible?"

The discussions kept growing, and the content became more and moreextreme.

This matter had spread throughout Hance City, and it had also caughtthe attention of the Simpson family. They contacted Ayan immediatelyto inquire about what was going on. The incident mentioned Page'saccident after leaving the Simpson's mansion, which further implicatedthe Simpson family, so they couldn't pretend to be unaware.

Ayan assured the Simpson family not to worry and told them he wouldhandle it. He temporarily set aside all work to focus on resolving thisissue.

Kian initially tried to control the situation, but since the short video appusers were individuals, and any content with popularity would gainmore traction, it was nearly impossible to control each comment.

Kian was frustrated because of this, and he informed Ayan of thecurrent situation. Ayan had a serious expression and a cold, calculatinglook in his deep eyes. He asked, "What's the situation with Horace?"“Mr. Burris has already contacted Master Armstrong, but MasterArmstrong remains silent about the matter. He claims he's unaware ofit, and he has had no contact with Mrs. Armstrong during this cold warperiod. Therefore, he doesn't know the specifics of the situation.”These were Brody's exact words, and Kian relayed them to Ayan.Ayan simply gave a disdainful hum as his expression turned evendarker. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It's unrelated to him, isit? Since it's unrelated, let's replace something that connects to him andforce him to make a choice.”

Kian immediately understood Ayan's intention and sent the collectedinformation to Brody.

In less than a minute, Brody called Kian.

After answering the call, Brody's voice was trembling as he said, "Ineed to speak with Ayan."

Kian, who was sitting across from Ayan, glanced at him and noticed hislack of response. Kian understood what Ayan wanted, so he calmlyspoke to Brody on the phone, "Master Armstrong, if you havesomething to say, please do."

Brody was extremely agitated and could barely catch his breath. ButAyan didn't wait for Brody to speak. His voice chimed in, "Do you wantto approach Mrs. Armstrong and ask her what she means by this?Does she think that by smearing Camille without regard for theconsequences, she can't be dealt with using public opinion?"

Brody was exasperated, and he said, "Ayan, this has nothing to do withme. If you genuinely want to support Camille, you should approach herdirectly, shouldn't you?"

Ayan responded with a light snort and an icy tone, "You two are amarried couple. If I don't approach you, who should I approach?"Brody felt helpless. This matter truly had nothing to do with him.Everything was the result of Page's actions, and he had beencompletely unaware.

He said, "Ayan, this matter has nothing to do with me. If you genuinelywant to stand up for Camille, you should approach her directly!"

Ayan, in a cold tone, responded, "Within half an hour, get her to releasea clarification video."

Ayan's words delivered, Kian promptly disconnected the call, givingBrody no chance to respond.

Kian looked at Ayan and said, "Mr. Simpson, even if Mrs. Armstrongreleases a video, I'm afraid it won't resolve this matter. I'm concernedthe public won't believe it and may think she's being threatened.”

“Let's release the video first, and we'll deal with the rest later," Ayansaid indifferently, his brows slightly furrowed. He asked, "What is shedoing now?"

Kian shook his head and replied, "No news yet. I also tried to contactYessica, but she hasn't responded. I think she's still unaware, probablyoccupied with something.”

"Contact people at her company directly, inform them about thesituation, and advise her to stay safe. Public opinion is already againsther, and I suspect there will be onlookers and troublemakers,” Ayansaid, his expression full of concern. His eyes darkened with worry.After Kian nodded in agreement, Ayan instructed him to ensure thesecurity of Camille, including the private security personnel whoguarded her. He emphasized the need to be vigilant and prevent anyharm from coming to her.

Despite everything being well-arranged, Ayan couldn't be in Hance Cityand couldn't be there to accompany and care for Camille at this criticaltime, which left him feeling frustrated.
