Chapter 1117: Bad Vibes

Ayan's response was tepid; he naturally had nothing to say to Sienna,so there was no reaction.

Rex's gaze, however, shifted to Sienna, and the emotions in his eyeswere complicated. There were probably some things he couldn't say infront of Ayan and Camille, so he remained silent.

Only Camille, she had to cooperate with Sienna and cheer her on.

She raised her thumb, smiling, “You were amazing today, fantastic, tooawesome! You're my idol!!!"

Sienna replied lightly, "Exaggerating a bit, aren't you?"

"Exaggerating? I'm just expressing my true feelings." After saying this,Camille turned to Ayan and asked, "Was my response just nowexaggerated?"

Ayan looked at Camille with a face full of indulgence, speaking gently,"Not exaggerated, those are your true feelings."

"Exactly, exactly,” Camille echoed.

Sienna no longer resisted and accepted with a smile, "Alright, I trustyou."

The waiter brought the food, and everyone started eating. Perhaps theevents of tonight put everyone in a good mood, so each of them had ahearty appetite.

After having late-night snacks, they leisurely returned to Franklin Bay.They didn't have any private time for Sienna and Rex to chat during thenight, so after returning to Franklin Bay, Camille didn't disturb them andquickly took Ayan back to her place.

Seeing her in such a hurry, Ayan couldn't help but ask, "Why are you insuch a hurry?"

Camille said, "I'm afraid you'll keep Rex talking."

"He's the one who kept me talking; I don't have as much to say as him."Ayan snorted.

Camille laughed, "Alright, alright, he talks a lot, you talk less. Let him goreplace Sienna to talk more."

The two held hands, went upstairs, and returned to the bedroom.Camille, still sighing about tonight's events, said, "I didn't expect Siennato be so brave. I was a bit scared when I saw Mario's expression. Iwondered if he would do something?"

Because even Camille knew that Mario didn't like others defying him,especially someone like Sienna, whom he disliked even more.

But Sienna didn't give him any face at all, not even a chance to easethe situation; she just said what needed to be said directly.

Ayan took off his coat, looking at her with gentle eyes. He approachedCamille slowly and said, "Did you teach Sienna what to say to Mario?""How did you know?" Camille didn't deny anything, only expressing hersurprise.

Was he rooted in her heart?

Otherwise, how would he know?

Camille found it incredible.

Ayan, however, thought it was normal because he understood Camille.He knew Camille would be so courageous. If Sienna had the samecourage, she would have told Mario directly and challenged him, ratherthan waiting until now.

He gazed at Camille, his eyes still gentle as water. He said softly, "Iswhat Sienna said to Mario something you taught her?"

"How did you know?" Camille didn't deny anything, only expressing hersurprise.

Was he rooted in her heart?

Otherwise, how would he know?

Camille found it incredible.

Ayan, however, thought it was normal because he understood Camille.He knew Camille would be so courageous. If Sienna had the samecourage, she would have told Mario directly and challenged him, ratherthan waiting until now.

He gazed at Camille, his eyes still gentle as water. He said softly, "Iswhat Sienna said to Mario something you taught her?"

Camille nodded.

"Actually, it's a good thing that she spoke to Mario like that. So manypeople were there at the time, and they all knew about theirrelationship. If Mario wants to do anything later, he'll have to save face.""Yeah, that's what I thought too, but I'm a little worried."

"What?"

"What if Mario decides to act recklessly and tear off all pretenses?"Ayan gently pinched her cheek, pulling her into an embrace. He said,“You don't need to worry about that. What you should do now is take ahot shower and get some rest, okay?"

Camille pressed her lips together. Since Ayan had spoken, she didn'twant to continue. She nodded in agreement and headed to thebathroom.

After Camille went to shower, Ayan picked up his phone and walked tothe balcony.

He called Kian to inquire about the progress on that side. Kian said,"There hasn't been much progress, but it's not a complete dead endeither.”

"Mr. Simpson, the Bill family is aware that we're investigating, so boththe household staff and the Bill family's people are keeping theirmouths shut. Don't let anything about the Bill family leak out. However,my undercover line into the Bill family is still undetected, so it's quitediscreet for now. I found out that Crystal has a cousin named Kelly Bill,studying at an art college in Flento City. Her grades are poor, she lovesto party, often goes to various bars with men from society. She likesluxury, often maxes out her credit cards. Recently, she's dating aboyfriend who owns a bar. I plan to approach this man and use him togather information on the Bill family. What do you think?"

Kian detailed his plan to Ayan, and Ayan naturally trusted him. After all,Kian was his right-hand man.

Ayan responded with a simple "Okay" and then whispered, "Becautious, don't expose your identity, and don't let the Bill family replaceout."

“I understand, you can trust me." Kian added, "By the way, Mr.Simpson, Crystal has been busy preparing for the competition thesedays, and there haven't been any obvious moves. Should I have thepeople watching her back off?"

Ayan squinted slightly, his tone warm, "Continue to keep an eye on her.I want to know if she's participating in this competition for a purpose orgenuinely wants to. If she came with a purpose, she might comply now,but once we make any opposing moves, she might reconsider ouragreement.”

Ayan squinted slightly, emotions evident in his eyes. He wanted thismatter to be resolved quickly, but at the same time, he inquired about itas if it had never happened.

This way, Camille would never have to face any difficulty or make achoice.

After finishing the call with Kian, Ayan didn't rush back inside. He stoodsilently on the balcony, contemplating the recent events that hadcluttered his thoughts.

Suddenly, he thought of tonight's event. Almost everyone from thebusiness community was present, including Horace. Due to the largecrowd, they didn't exchange greetings, especially since they hadprivate collaborations. They had silently agreed not to have too muchcontact in public.

With such a significant gathering, if Horace attended, would Preston,who had recently entered Armstrong Corp, easily pass up the chance tomake an appearance?

Thinking of this, Ayan immediately sent a message to Horace.

Horace replied quickly, saying, "Busy with the museum project. Had adinner appointment with Jenson, the project leader of the museum, andthe museum's director tonight. Considering everything, I had to skip thisside.”

Ayan saw the message and responded with a faint "Okay." Originally,he was worried that Preston's absence might indicate some illintentions.

Now that Ayan had Horace's response, he realized it was delayed dueto other matters.

Ayan immersed himself in thought for a while, and Camille, havingfinished her shower, came out of the bathroom.

Seeing no one in the bedroom, she thought Ayan had gone to thestudy. Just as she was about to wrap her hair and head to the study,she saw him walking in from the balcony.

Camille asked casually, "What were you doing on the balcony?"

"Made a call, checking on Kian's progress.” Ayan answered truthfully.Camille nodded and casually asked, "Has Kian been on a business tripfor so many days? Isn't it inconvenient for Simpson Group here?""Yeah, very inconvenient. So, do you want to be my secretary for acouple of days?" Ayan took the towel from her head, wiped away thewater, and then took the hairdryer to help her dry her hair.

Camille responded calmly, "My salary is quite high, I'm afraid you can'tafford me."

"How high?" He asked with a faint smile while drying her hair, “I canafford any amount, it depends on whether you're willing."

"My, do you really want to hire me?" Camille looked up at him.

Without any hesitation, he responded, "Of course. So, do you want toagree?"

Camille pressed her lips together, considering that her studio wasn'tvery busy these days because the design drafts were ready, and shewas just waiting for the scheduled time. So, she had some free timethese days. But did she really want to go and help him at the SimpsonGroup?
