My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 1398 Twisted

Chapter 1398 Twisted

For so many years, they never had a falling out. Even when Regina gave birth, Page waved her hand and arranged the best confinement center for her. Regina had told Page she was dumped when she was pregnant, but the man who got her pregnant disappeared without a trace. Regina wanted the child, so she decided to keep it. Page was heartbroken at first, but seeing Regina's determination, she eventually agreed.

The Armstrong family was thriving back then. Brody could handle things on his own, so Page had enough time and money to support Regina. Looking back now, everything Page did back then must have seemed like a joke to them, right?

They must have laughed behind Page's back, calling her a fool, right?

Thinking about this, Grace couldn't get past the resentment she felt for Page, as well as the animosity she held in her heart.

Grace was determined not to mess things up and to not let Regina see any signs of trouble.

She made up her mind, but Horace was also worried. Too much had happened in the past few days, and she had gone through a lot. He couldn't help but worry.

After some deliberation, Horace said to Grace, "I promise to let you take a cab there, but I will follow in my car. I won't interfere with your plan, and I won't let her replace out. So, go ahead and do what you need to do with confidence."

Grace nodded lightly, flashing a faint smile.

Since she had already arranged for a car, summoned through a ride-hailing app, Grace couldn't afford to waste any more time. She had to go see Regina. In case Regina tried to test her, Grace had mentally prepared for all possible scenarios.

Leaving with Horace, Ayan immediately contacted Kian to join forces with Horace, in case Grace lost control of her emotions in front of Regina and spilled everything. If Regina acted out and harmed Grace in her desperation, Horace would most likely have to take a leave of absence again.

Ayan wouldn't allow such a situation to occur.

Originally a group of six, now only two of them were left, making the remaining four fall into a sudden silence.

The quiet atmosphere was a bit unsettling. Sienna shot a glance at Camille, who received it but remained nonchalant, only giving her a fleeting look.

Sienna pursed her lips, speaking in an indifferent tone, "Will the Armstrong family matter eventually be made public?"

Camille hadn't considered this question because she was not the one in charge. If Ayan hadn't been vigilant, the issue would have become common knowledge long ago.

Subconsciously, she looked to Ayan, and, receiving his gaze, she spoke, "If we don't make it public, the gossip media will make up stories. When the forensic side clarifies everything, they will contact the media, and the police will release an official statement to prevent further distortion."

Camille nodded, "Okay, I'll defer to your judgment."

"Leefeng, when are we going home?" Sienna asked affectatiously.

Rex didn't understand and quickly asked, "When do you want to go?"

"I? Oh, I'll listen to you," she said, imitating Camille's tone with a smile on her face, challenging Camille with her eyes.

Camille rolled her eyes but decided to tolerate it.

Rex chuckled, looking at Ayan, "Ayan, have you figured things out yet? Judging by the current situation, there's a high likelihood that Armstrong Corp will fall entirely into Horace's hands. Have you thought about letting Horace and Grace register their marriage first?"

"Maybe you should ask Horace yourself," Ayan replied calmly.

"Since you're Horace's brother-in-law, it might be better coming from you. I'm a bit hesitant, being an outsider and all," Rex said casually.

Ayan remained silent, seemingly lost in thought. Sienna added, "I think it's a good idea. If it's related to your father and he's legally responsible, Armstrong Corp could end up with just the two of you. You care about Grace, otherwise, you wouldn't be helping her. Even though things seem okay between her and Horace now, she needs adequate security."

Grace agreed with Rex's suggestion to register their marriage first or sign an agreement to secure a portion of Armstrong Corp for her. It was just a worst-case scenario plan, but having it in place gave Grace some reassurance and a backup plan.

Camille didn't immediately respond but looked serious.

Sienna understood that Camille already had a plan in mind and didn't press further.

After chatting for a while, Sienna and Rex went back home.

Camille and Ayan stayed behind, sitting quietly. Camille leaned against Ayan, sighing softly, "The way they put it, it seems like Grace is the only one left in the Armstrong family."

If Camille hadn't married Ayan, if she hadn't been considered part of the Armstrong family, no one outside would even know she existed.

Add in Brody and Page's cold attitude towards her, and Camille had long stopped seeing herself as part of the Armstrong family.

Her words seemed to startle Ayan, who asked, "Why do you say that? Why would the Armstrong family only have Grace left?"

"Because I'm not part of the Armstrong family anymore. They never treated me as part of it, so for me, there's no one left in the Armstrong family except Grace, right? Why are you so nervous?" Camille looked at Ayan with a hint of probing and confusion in her eyes.

Ayan remained calm, smiling lightly as he said, "No problem at all. I'm just worried that you might be affected by their business."

"There's no way I could be affected. But since everything has happened, I also want to secure some benefits for Grace. I understand your concerns, but don't worry. I have a share of Horace's stock. It's easy to hold him back in Hance City."

"That's good to hear. Although our relationship isn't as close as that of two sisters who grew up together, I still care for Grace. I hope she'll be okay. This ordeal has really taken a toll on her."

Camille understood this well. Her feelings for the Armstrong family were indifferent, but her feelings for Grace were deep.
