Chapter 1094: Coincidence

Camille held her breath, quietly taking a deep breath, trying not to dwellon any of his inquiries. She said, "I'm not trying to intervene or questionyour decisions. I just want to know why you're doing this. Aren't youaware of the many things that happened between Preston and Ayan?Aren't you afraid of offending Ayan and the Simpson family by doingthis?"

She attempted to make Brody regret his actions by appealing to hismost cherished interests.

However, Brody responded, "Why should I be afraid of offending Ayanand the Simpson family? Do you think using the Simpson family andAyan to pressure me is effective? Do you see the Simpson family assuperior to the Armstrong family in your eyes?"

Camille didn't expect her words to lead to a misunderstanding, but shehad no intention of offering any explanations. She simply pressed herlips together, looking at Brody with a calm expression. She said, “Thinkwhatever you want. If you believe that, then so be it. Regardless of anycooperation between you and Preston, I want to make it clear that wedon't have the same kind of partnership as before. We're just regularfriends now. So, if you're cooperating with him because you think we'refriends and it puts you at ease, I suggest you dispel that notion. Ifanything happens, I won't take any responsibility, and I won't beinvolved. I'm making this clear now so that you won't blame me whenthings go south.”

Camille spoke a lot, but her words only fueled Brody's dissatisfaction.He coldly questioned, “Do you think I would wrongly accuse you ifsomething happens? Camille, how can your thoughts be so narrow?What do you take the Armstrong family for? Do you think we're just aburden to you? How can you have such a mean-spirited idea?"Camille smiled lightly. She calmly said, "If that's what you want tobelieve, go ahead. Anyway, no matter what I say, you won't believe it,and you won't listen. I came here today just to tell you my thoughts, toexpress myself. In short, no matter how you interpret it, I won't beresponsible for any issues that arise from your cooperation withPreston. It has nothing to do with me. Can you agree to that?"

Brody remained silent, gazing at Camille with indifference. Thisresponse made Camille uncomfortable. She pressed, "Can you?"Brody still didn't answer, prompting even Sienna to chuckle. Siennaremarked, "Mr. Armstrong, you really know how to dodge the issue.Camille's words are clear enough. Why won't you just answer? Are youafraid that if something really happens, no one will take the blame foryou?"

Sienna's gaze made Brody's eyes instantly turn cold. Brody repeated,"This is a matter concerning the Armstrong family. It's none of yourbusiness, just a friend."

Sienna wasn't afraid of Brody at all. She snorted and said indifferently,"I don't want to know anything about your Armstrong family affairs, letalone get involved. But what can I do? Your Armstrong family alwaysbullies my friend while she sleeps. What kind of behavior is this? You'rejust exploiting Cami. You refuse to take responsibility when there's aproblem, and you won't share benefits. Such things are unbelievable.It's ridiculous.”

Brody was furious; his breathing became heavier. He criticized, "Lookat what kind of friends you've made. Look at what kind of friends theyare. Do you still plan to continue associating with them, Camille? Areyou just going to watch your friends treat your father like this withoutdoing anything?"

Camille looked at Brody expressionlessly, her eyes showing noemotion. Because whether it was Brody or Page, their words werealways the same. Camille was well aware that their focus was on theirown interests. If Camille was of no use to them, they would treat her asexpendable. If Camille were ever sold off, they probably wouldn't care.But once they thought Camille had value, they wouldn't need Camille toapproach them; they would come to her.

Just like now.

This differential treatment wasn't the first time, and Camille knew it well.She pressed her lips together, squinting slightly, a hint of coldness inher eyes. Her voice was icy as she said, "The kind of friends I have isnot for anyone to judge. As long as I replace them good, they are good. Idon't need anyone's opinion. So, there's no need to speak so harshlyand critically.”

"You..."

Brody glared at Camille.

But Camille didn't give him any chance. She spoke again, her tonefrosty, "The purpose of my visit today is to tell you that whatevercooperation you have with Preston has nothing to do with me. I'm onlyfriends with Preston; we have no other relationship. So, don't use thepretext of being nice to me to do things I'm completely unaware of. Ifyou really do that, I won't acknowledge it. Furthermore, you better knowwhen to cut your losses and not become the second Walker family."Camille finished speaking, not bothering to look at Brody any longer,and she moved her gaze away. She said to Sienna, "Let's go!"

Sienna nodded lightly, and the two of them intended to leave.However, just as they turned around, before they could take a step, aman's voice rang out slowly from ahead, "Cami, do you really see meas unworthy and untrustworthy?"

Hearing the voice, Camille immediately looked up. Their eyes met, andshe looked at the man with a faint gaze, a hint of surprise and shockpassing through her eyes.

This was too much of a coincidence, wasn't it?

She had just arrived not long ago, and it was still early in the morning.How could Preston be here?

Did Brody tell him?

But Brody hadn't checked his phone since she arrived, so it seemedunlikely. Was it just a coincidence?

Camille frowned, her eyes showing a sense of confusion. After all, ifPreston overheard what she just said, it might seem like she wastalking badly about him.

However, Camille thought for a moment. What she said didn't seemfalse; it seemed to be things that had actually happened. So, whyshould she feel guilty?

As Camille hesitated, Preston's voice rang out again. He said, "Cami,why won't you respond to me?"

Camille looked at him, her voice lacking warmth as she said, "It's notthat I won't respond to you. I'm just thinking. I don't see any problemwith what I said. Of course, I don't think poorly of you. I'm justreminding the Armstrong family to think carefully before making anydecisions. This way, they won't regret it when unexpected thingshappen.”

"Would you regret cooperating with me? Cami, have I done somethingto hurt you?"

Preston's questioning didn't receive a response from Camille. Hersilence made Preston smile bitterly.

Preston said, “Cami, so in your eyes, I'm that unworthy, huh?"

Camille remained silent, just looking at him.

Sienna, standing beside them, said with exasperation, "Do you reallycare so much about how she sees you?"

"Of course!" Preston responded without hesitation.

Sienna said, "If you care so much, why do things that people replaceannoying? If you care, then why not avoid doing things people dislike?"Preston looked at Camille and asked, "Cami, have I done somethingyou dislike? Can you tell me?"

Camille sighed silently. Honestly, she was already starting to feelemotionally drained even so early in the morning.
