Chapter 1411: Determination
After about ten seconds, his voice finally resounded. He said, "Ayan, given the current situation, could you please help? As for the money, we'll repay you later. The main issue is that if we suddenly sell off Armstrong Corp's shares, there won't be enough time! After all, we're family, and you shouldn't refuse such a small favor, right?"
Regina, who had placed all her hopes on Brody, realized at this moment that Ayan and Camille had the money.
In that instant, she didn't consider her relationship with Camille to be distant at all. She immediately rushed in front of Camille, raised her hands, tightly gripping Camille's hand, and said, "Cami, please help your aunt. Talk to Mr. Simpson and ask him for five million dollars. I'll use it to save Vere, and I'll repay you later, okay?"
Camille extended her hand and took a step back, calmly looking at Regina. She said, "I'm sorry, Aunt, but five million dollars is not a small amount. Since you can't produce the money now, how will you repay me later? And if you can't repay, who should I turn to? Of course, if it were Grace who needed the money, I wouldn't hesitate to help because we're sisters, and repayment wouldn't matter."
Camille smiled and turned to Ayan, asking, "Isn't that right?"
"Of course," Ayan echoed.
Regina's face turned pale, and her eyes kept darting around, contemplating something.
Naturally, Brody heard this conversation.
The atmosphere quieted down as a result, but it didn't last long. After a few seconds, Regina's voice rang out again.
Regina said to Camille and Grace, "I want to talk to both of you privately."
As soon as Brody heard this, he immediately asked, "What are you planning? Regina, have you forgotten what I told you? If Camille doesn't want to help, I'll come up with another solution." Excitedly, Regina replied, "What solution can you think of? I believe you're deliberately delaying. You don't care. You..."
"Regina, do you have to go this far?" Brody stared at Regina with wide eyes.
"I won't listen to you. I won't listen to anything you say. I want to save my child." Regina couldn't remain calm. She grabbed Grace's hand and looked at Camille. "Let's talk privately. I have something to say to both of you."
Camille responded indifferently, "What do you want to say?"
"I want to discuss this matter privately."
"Regina!!!" Brody protested.
But Regina didn't pay any attention. Right now, all she wanted was for Camille to lend her money.
Naturally, Brody wouldn't allow it. He approached Regina, attempting to stop her actions, but at that moment, Ayan's voice sounded.
Ayan asked, "Mr. Armstrong, what are you doing? Is there something you can't say? It seems Mr. Armstrong is more interested in what your wife's cousin has to say than in the information from the forensic department. It might seem strange to others, considering this is the Armstrong family."
Leaning back in his chair, Ayan looked at Brody with deep, indifferent eyes. Although they were in the Armstrong family, Brody still felt somewhat wary of Ayan, especially in the current situation. He didn't dare to confront Ayan head-on.
With a troubled expression, Brody spoke in a low voice, "Ayan, you've misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I just think that discussing the forensic matters at this time would be inappropriate."
"If the child has been kidnapped, shouldn't we report it to the police? Where is the child's father? Isn't it his responsibility to step forward in such a situation? Should the child's mother bear this immense pressure alone?" Ayan's expression remained blank as he continued, "If you can't contact him, I can arrange for someone to do so. Aunt only needs to tell me the person's name, and we can replace out within an hour. After all, it's more appropriate for both parents to be present in such circumstances."
Regina fell silent.
She just stood there with a stiff expression, lost in her thoughts.
After Ayan's words, Regina's two uncles and aunt chimed in agreement, saying, "Yes, that's right. Although we're all relatives, it's better for the child to have their father involved."
Their reason for agreeing was that they didn't want Regina to spend the Armstrong family's money. After all, Armstrong Corp's shares included a portion belonging to their sister. If Regina were to sell a portion
of those shares for her child, that would be worth five million dollars. It was not a small sum, and they wanted to claim that benefit for themselves, not Regina.
One voice followed another, constantly repeating something in Regina's ears, making her feel overwhelmed by the noise.
However, as her level of concern rose at this moment, Brody hesitated and was reluctant to give in. And she knew exactly why he was worried.
So she knew she couldn't rely on Brody to place all her hopes.
After much deliberation, she glanced at Brody, her eyes filled with determination, conveying that she wouldn't change her mind regardless of what others said.
She pursed her lips and looked at everyone. Her voice was soft: "There's something I want to tell you all."
All eyes were fixed on her.
Regina spoke softly, "Grace, Cami, I'm truly sorry. I regret what I've done, but things have come to this point, and there's no path of regret left for me to return to the starting point."
Regina started crying, but her tears meant nothing to Camille and Grace.
The two of them showed no emotions or reactions, just coldly staring at her. Their gaze seemed to say that if they showed any trace of softness, they would lose.
They remained silent, but Regina didn't stop speaking.
She continued, "Your mother, my sister, has been really good to me. But I'm deeply dissatisfied in my heart. I'm not willing. We met first, and we fell in love first. Just because my father doesn't have the ability, am I supposed to make concessions too? If it weren't for this, how could I have ended up with the wrong person? How could I be at this age, raising a child all alone?"
Her emotions were running high, and her words accused Page's father and the entire Page family. As Page's older brothers, they couldn't stand idly by.
The eldest uncle retorted, "You're talking nonsense. It's clearly your lack of virtue. At such a young age, you engaged in promiscuous relationships. Your reputation was tarnished. The Armstrong family and the old Simpson family didn't even consider you. That's why they chose my sister. She is educated and well-mannered. Would they choose someone like you, who knows nothing and loves to play around?"
