Chapter 1394: Revelation
"What answer?"
"Mrs. Armstrong's stomach showed traces of a sedative, and the dosage was not small."
"Can you determine if it was taken before or after the incident?" Ayan meant, was it taken on the same day or before the day of the incident? If she had taken the medication before, it would be considered normal, as Page had depression and it was within the normal range to take such medication. But if a large dose appeared on the day of the incident, that would be abnormal.
However, it had been three days since Page's incident, so it was difficult to determine whether it happened before or on the day of the incident.
Kian's response was the same, but he said, "I have already discussed with the forensic department. Any information found will not be disclosed for now. Any news will be communicated to us first." "Keep an eye on someone, especially the one outside. If she can't contact the Armstrong family, she will probably be anxious and might reveal something suspicious. This will definitely prompt her to take action, which could be very useful in dealing with them in the future."
Ayan could have delegated this matter to his subordinates, as everything concerning the Armstrong family was trivial compared to the work of the Simpson Group. However, Ayan's reason for doing this was solely for Camille, as he needed to know about any developments in the process to prevent Brody and others from exposing Camille's situation.
It was not the right time yet, everything had to settle down before slowly revealing Camille's situation.
So he would never throw Camille into the midst of the situation, nor would he allow anyone to exploit her.
That's why Ayan took personal responsibility for this matter.
But the true purpose behind this was something he didn't need to tell anyone, nor did he need anyone else to know. Only he knew that it was all for Camille.
After finishing his call with Kian, Ayan left the study and went downstairs, where he saw Horace and Grace sitting in the living room drinking coffee.
When the two noticed Ayan, they immediately greeted him, and Ayan said, "Sit for a while, lunch is being prepared. It's not appropriate to have breakfast at this hour. If you're hungry, have some fruit for now." Grace quickly asked, "Mr. Simpson, and Cami?"
"She should be up soon."
"These past few days, you both have been working tirelessly. She must be exhausted." Grace's mood seemed much better than the previous night and early morning; she seemed to have returned to her usual self.
Ayan glanced casually and then refocused on Horace, asking, "Mr. Burris, are you going to Armstrong Corp later?"
Horace met his gaze, and there was something unseen that passed between the two in their eyes. Horace nodded lightly, "Yes, I'll go after lunch, and it should be finished before three in the afternoon." Ayan continued, "Since Mr. Burris is going to the company, Miss Armstrong should stay at home. It's been a long time since you and Cami have seen each other; you should have a good chat!!" Grace agreed.
Horace also replied, "I'll come replace you after I'm done."
Grace smiled lightly, pursing her lips. "There's no need. You do your work, I'll stay here with Cami. You can rest assured; I won't go anywhere. I've only been away from Hance City for a few months; do you really think I'll get lost?"
Horace, however, had no smile on his face. He said, "It's not that I'm afraid you will get lost, it's just that I don't want you to have any contact with anyone from the Armstrong family."
"Yes, I understand. You can rest assured. With Cami here, she will remind me." Grace trusted Camille a lot, and as for last night's events, she had already made a decision.
When Camille came downstairs, everyone went to the dining room to have lunch.
Grace shared her thoughts with everyone, saying, "Don't worry, I will fight for our interests and won't let anything from the Armstrong family fall into the wrong hands. As for that woman, she's no longer my aunt and certainly not my mother's closest sister. I hate her, so I won't let her off the hook."
Grace's words silenced everyone, and Grace herself was a little surprised. Quickly, she added, "You don't need to do anything. There will be people taking care of them."
"Okay, I'll trust you." Grace nodded, unconditionally trusting Camille.
The meal was harmonious, and Ayan had to go to the company in the afternoon. So he and Horace left Franklin Bay together.
Camille was worried that there would be an awkward atmosphere at home, so she called Sienna over.
The three of them naturally watched a drama to pass the time, as chatting about anything seemed inappropriate, especially in the current situation.
Sienna picked a soothing film.
At one point, Grace's phone rang.
Camille and Sienna subconsciously looked at her, and their actions were a bit exaggerated, making Grace, who was the subject, couldn't help but laugh, "What's wrong with you two?" Camille blinked and asked, "Who's calling?"
Grace looked at her phone, then said, "It's a call from the Armstrong family."
After returning, she used the same number as before and didn't want to get a new one. She also didn't want to use the contact information that she had kept hidden from everyone in the Armstrong family. Camille immediately suggested, "Answer it, put it on speaker."
Grace obediently followed Camille's instructions.
As soon as the call connected, before Grace could speak, the voice on the other end said, "[Grace], I'm your uncle. Where are you? It's late, why haven't you come home yet? We're all here at your house with nothing to eat. This is really disrespectful of you, isn't it? And why are there bodyguards watching us at all times at your house, with restricted communication? We're not criminals; why are you treating us like this?"
It was Uncle calling to complain about the current situation at the Armstrong family. He believed that Grace and Camille were behind all this because neither of them was present at the Armstrong family. Even Brody was being monitored in such a manner, and the only people who could do such a thing were these two.
Grace glanced at Camille subconsciously, and their eyes met. Camille remained calm and composed without any emotional change.
Given the situation, Grace quickly reassured, "Uncle, please don't worry. It's not a big deal. You don't need to be so nervous and excited. This is just to consider Mom's situation because some things are still under investigation. This is just to prevent unnecessary rumors from leaking out. So I hope you can cooperate. After everything is clarified, I will explain everything to you. For now, Uncle, please stay at home, and I will inform the household staff about the food."
