Chapter 1374 Unknown
Camille shook her head, then reached out to pick up her phone.
She sighed silently, gently pursed her lips, and answered the call without saying a word, but the voice on the other end of the phone was anxious.
"Miss Camille, this is Hayden from the Armstrong family. Something has happened at home, please come back quickly!" Hayden, who had been with the Armstrong family for many years but was still young, sounded choked with sobs.
Camille frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Hayden's voice continued, but Camille's face became increasingly grim.
Her brow furrowed even more tightly, and her eyes stared blankly and motionless, without any reaction.
Was the other party still talking? But Camille remained silent, which naturally caught the attention of Sienna, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Sienna asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Camille's gaze was vacant, and she did not respond to Sienna's words. Instead, she asked Hayden, "When did this happen?"
"Just now, Mr. Armstrong just returned home... You better come over quickly; everything is in chaos here."
Hayden's words continued, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.
Camille remained silent for a while before finally responding with a low acknowledgment.
She ended the call, tightly gripping her phone, feeling inexplicable emotions swirling inside her.
Sienna, upon hearing Camille's words, was also shocked. She exclaimed, "What's happening all of a sudden?"
"The Armstrong family is in trouble. I don't know the details yet. I'll call Ayan first," Camille said with a serious expression before dialing Ayan's number directly.
Ayan answered quickly, and Camille briefly explained the situation before asking him to come back and go to the Armstrong's villa with her.
Ayan agreed and told Camille to wait at home, as he would return shortly.
Camille nodded and set down her phone, her expression still filled with disbelief.
Sienna, upon hearing Camille's words, was equally incredulous. She opened her mouth in disbelief, "How could this happen so suddenly?"
Camille shook her head, still feeling unbelievable even at this moment.
Her conflicting emotions were hard to describe.
Her head was now empty and blank.
Ayan returned quickly. Soon, they both went to the Armstrong's villa.
During the journey, Ayan called Horace, who had returned a couple of days ago but had been busy with Armstrong Corp matters and had not met them yet.
Ayan informed Horace of the situation, mentioning that they might have to bring Grace back from abroad.
However, they decided to visit the Armstrong's villa first before discussing further details.
Shortly after, they arrived at the Armstrong's villa.
Even before reaching the door, they could clearly hear the sounds of weeping inside. Camille's steps halted, hesitating to proceed further.
Ayan gently held her hand and reassured her, "I'm here, don't be afraid."
Camille bit her lip, her voice hoarse as she said, "I... I don't know what's happening. I have mixed feelings towards her. Even though she treated me poorly, I don't wish this upon her. We have no emotional connection, but I..."
"I understand what you mean. Let's go in and see what's going on. Whatever happens, I'll be here with you, okay?" Ayan lifted his hand to lightly encircle her waist, his deep gaze unwaveringly fixed on her. With him by her side, Camille's emotions slightly stabilized.
Maintaining this posture, they entered the Armstrong's villa. The household staff rushed to greet them, their eyes red from crying, and the atmosphere in the living room was heavy. Relatives from Page's family had also arrived, and Brody sat in the center of the sofa, surrounded by people bombarding him with questions.
"What happened exactly?"
"Weren't you both on a trip together? Why did she fall off a cliff? Why are you okay?"
"Brother-in-law, my sister is a good person who followed you. Now, you say she fell off a cliff, and we haven't found her yet. We can't accept your response. You need to explain!" "How did this accident happen? Where were you at the time? Why didn't you protect her?"
The relentless questioning overwhelmed Brody, who had only one mouth to respond with.
The servant quietly reminded everyone that Camille and Ayan had arrived. Page's relatives immediately approached Camille, urging her to seek justice for her mother.
"Cami, you have to get justice for your mother. She raised you single-handedly; you must help her!"
"Yes, Grace is missing now, and you're the only hope. You have to take responsibility!"
Everyone was talking at once, not giving Camille a chance to speak.
Camille, who didn't really know most of the people present despite growing up with her grandmother, remained indifferent to the so-called relatives.
With Ayan there, the others didn't dare press her too much, just expressing their dissatisfaction at her coldness.
Camille's gaze shifted to Brody on the sofa, asking, "How did this happen?"
Brody replied calmly, "Do you think I wanted this to happen? I warned her to be careful and not to wander off, and there were witnesses there. Do you really think I did this on purpose?" Camille's face darkened, and she remained silent, feeling a slight pause in the hand that Ayan held.
Perhaps sensing her unease, Ayan narrowed his eyes and, with a cold expression, looked around before saying, "Regardless of whether it was an accident, she was with you. Therefore, all responsibility lies with Mr. Armstrong. I will inform the police to increase the search efforts and contact rescue teams, but the outcome of falling off a cliff is still uncertain."
Ayan's words silenced the room.
He immediately asked Kian, who was waiting outside, to contact the search and rescue teams and the police. Ayan also inquired about the location of the incident from Brody, discovering it had occurred in a neighboring city at a scenic area known for its natural beauty but remote location, with high mountains, forests, and cliffs.
The area was vast, with many attractions and a high level of popularity due to effective advertising. However, it was more dangerous than Chankager, especially the glass skywalk, which was long, narrow, and winding, even more thrilling than the eighteen bends.
Therefore, accidents were likely to happen. Given the vast area, some places lacked surveillance, so no one could be certain about what had transpired at that moment. They could only seek answers from Brody's response.
