My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 1395: Division

Chapter 1395: Division

Grace had no intention of being soft-hearted, nor did she want her uncles to leave the Armstrong family. After all, now that they knew most of the publicly known information, if they let them leave the Armstrong family at this time, then everyone would likely know about the Armstrong family's affairs the next second.

So, of course, Grace would not agree to it. She was now very clear and rational, not letting anyone harm the people she cared about.

With her father's betrayal and mother's passing, only Camille was the closest family she had.

Faced with her response, the two uncles and aunt naturally did not want to agree, their emotions were very agitated. However, Grace did not give them a chance to continue speaking and directly hung up the phone.

Upon hanging up the phone, Grace flipped her phone over and placed it on the coffee table. She took a deep breath and said softly, "They must be in a hurry, wanting to escalate the situation to replace compensation from the Armstrong family sooner."

Grace understood the thoughts of her uncles and Paige, and this was to prevent any actions from them.

Sienna smiled and said, "They just want to rush the division of benefits, right? They don't care if the situation is related to your father or not. They just want some benefits, preferably a hefty sum of money, and then they won't care about the truth anymore. Honestly, such relatives are not worth having."

"If they weren't just trying to get a piece of the pie, they wouldn't have come to the Armstrong family voluntarily, nor would they have cared about Mom's situation. They actually have a share of the properties that belonged to Mom, but they've always emphasized that Mom was a married woman and didn't want to divide them. This also means that there has been little contact over the years and it's impossible to say that they supported Mom because of the bad relationship between Mom and Dad."

Grace had a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between her uncles and Paige because Paige would occasionally mention it, and she had been by Paige's side for a long time, making her very clear about these relationships.

If her uncles truly cared for Paige as a little sister, how could Brody have had the opportunity to bully Paige?

It's because Paige no longer had anyone from her mother's side supporting her. Whatever happened, Paige only had the Armstrong family, so she couldn't leave the Armstrong family and couldn't really give up on Brody. That's why Brody intensified his actions.

Thinking about all this, Grace felt really sorry for Paige, while Camille's emotions were much colder.

Camille didn't know or understand the relationship between them. She just knew that both the uncles and Paige were very distant from their grandmother. Even though their step-grandmother treated them like her own daughters, they were still very indifferent towards her. They didn't even look at her before she passed away, and that was just how they were.

So, no matter what, Camille couldn't get close.

But Camille didn't show it because it was about Paige now. She didn't want to dwell on it too much or bring it up repeatedly, so she just remained silent, saying nothing and doing nothing. As for Grace's words, Sienna was the one who responded in the end.

Sienna said, "Don't be too upset. Seeing through such people is actually a good thing. They're delusional to want to divide the Armstrong family's assets because of your mom. To deal with such people, you just need to ignore them."

Grace nodded lightly. "Yes, you're right. I think ignoring them is the best way to punish."

They both smiled at each other, and Grace's gaze fell on Camille, who had been silent all along. She spoke softly, "Cami, why aren't you saying anything?"

"I have nothing to say," Camille replied, meeting her gaze without hiding her inner coldness.

Grace didn't ask any further and just smiled slightly, then continued to watch the movie.

The three of them spent almost the whole day at home until the evening when the three men returned home one after the other, as if they had planned it.

Rex knew Sienna was here, so he came straight over, and in the evening, the six of them had hotpot together.

After dinner, they set up a tea stove and sat in the small pavilion, enjoying the moment of silence.

It wasn't too late at the moment, so the sky wasn't dark yet. It had been raining for the past few days, but it had stopped today, and the sun had come out in the afternoon. So, the sky was now tinted with the colors of a sunset.

Grace sat quietly, watching the sunset, her heart filled with sadness. When she was abroad, she didn't feel homesick at all, but now that she was back in Hance City, she missed home especially. She missed Paige a lot, but she would never see Paige again.

She had never thought that the day she left home would be the last time they would meet.

Now, thinking back, she regretted it. She regretted leaving recklessly. Perhaps staying at home wouldn't have changed anything, but it could have led to a different outcome.

The more Grace thought about it, the more the sadness deepened, but she didn't show it. The atmosphere was particularly comfortable at the moment, and she didn't want to ruin it for everyone by revealing her emotions.

She looked at Camille, who was sitting silently next to Ayan, emitting a feeling that Grace could never have. She couldn't describe that feeling, but she was sure it would never appear in her. It was something she envied a lot.

As she watched, a faint smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. The man beside her asked in a low voice, "What are you smiling about?"

Grace turned to Horace and whispered, "I'm not smiling."

Horace didn't inquire further and just said, "Let's go for a walk later, okay?"

Tonight, they were staying here again because Grace couldn't go back to the Armstrong family at the moment, and she wouldn't go to Maple Park either, avoiding unnecessary attention.

Their relationship had to remain confidential for now. Only the few of them present knew about it and wouldn't disclose it to anyone.

They chatted and drank tea, passing the time until around nine o'clock.

Kian called.

Naturally, it piqued everyone's curiosity, especially Grace, who instinctively thought it had to do with Paige.

But Kian said, "Mr. Simpson, I just received news that Madam's cousin has purchased tickets to go abroad with her children, but without Mr. Armstrong's ticket."

"Have they been in contact on the phone?" Ayan asked indifferently.

Because it was not on speakerphone, he didn't know what Ayan and the other party were talking about.

Grace was getting anxious, her eyes staring fixedly at Ayan. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her hands clenched into fists. The whole air around her was filled with a tense worry.

Facing Ayan's question, Kian hurriedly said, "I don't think so. Our people have been watching the Armstrong family all along. We receive notifications for every phone call they make. I assume she had planned to leave Hance City early on. With the current situation and Mr. Armstrong calling her last night, did she replace out that the forensic team would be involved and got nervous? Does this mean it was them who did it?"
