My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1413: Dreaming

She said, "You can't leave me. You promised to help me save Vere. Vere is your own younger brother. You can't just ignore him!"

Regina admitted that Vere was Brody's child.

Camille and Grace exchanged glances, then Camille asked, "Auntie, what are you talking about?"

"I'm saying Vere is your own younger brother."

"Regina, be quiet. Don't say anything more," Brody shouted. It seemed that Brody had realized something and was trying to prevent Regina from speaking further.

But Regina's hope was all placed on Camille and Grace, so she wouldn't listen to Brody's obstruction.

She said, "Vere is the child of your father and me. We've been together since the day he married his sister. We've been together all these years. Originally, I didn't plan to have a child because I was afraid of the pain. I was afraid of giving birth. But his sister didn't give him a son, so I had to do it."

Regina confessed everything. Brody was already moving to stop her, but Ayan's gaze stopped Brody from approaching Regina.

Seeing this scene, Regina looked at Brody with resentment. She said, "Why are you so selfish? Vere is the child you insisted I have, just to get rid of a small portion of your shares in Armstrong Corp. But what about you? You're selfish and self-serving. You're afraid that losing the shares will shake your position in Armstrong Corp. But do you know that you caused the death of his sister? Do you think you still have a way out? Hahaha, you don't have one at all, you don't have one at all..."

As soon as Regina finished speaking, the doors of the Armstrong's villa were suddenly pushed open from the outside, drawing everyone's attention with the loud noise.

Several police officers strode in from outside and, upon seeing the people inside, stated their purpose, "Mr. Armstrong, Miss Bailey, based on the evidence we have, you are both implicated in the cliff incident at the scenic area. So please cooperate with the investigation and come with us."

Brody's eyes lost their light as he watched this scene. He understood that everything that had just happened had been calculated, from Grace bringing Regina back to the Armstrong family to Ayan and Camille's arrival. It was all part of Ayan's plan.

But now there was no time to say anything. The only thing to do now was to prove their innocence.

With a stern face, Brody glanced deeply at Ayan, but Ayan didn't even look at him. He didn't care about Brody at all.

Regina belatedly realized that this was a trap, a trap she had fallen into. She also gradually realized that everything she had just said was enough to prove her and Brody's undeniable connection to Page's death.

Her face turned pale, and she said, "It's not me, it has nothing to do with me. Officers, you can't arrest me. It has nothing to do with me. You can't take me away. I still need to save my child!"

But Regina's voice was soft, and both uncles' eyes lit up the moment they saw the police. Naturally, they seized the opportunity to accuse Brody and Regina. They didn't want to let it go easily.

But the police had the ability to distinguish right from wrong and wouldn't be swayed by others' gestures.

Brody and Regina were taken away by the police. Before getting into the car, Regina pleaded for Vere's sake, but Camille and Grace didn't respond at all.

Because it wasn't the time to tell her the truth just yet.

The two were taken to the police station, where they would be questioned separately, giving everyone some free time.

Grace rode back to Franklin Bay with Camille and Ayan in a car. Sitting in the back seat, she felt a bit uneasy and said, "Cami, from their conversation just now, it seems like Mom's situation is really connected to Dad. If Dad were held responsible and this matter became public, would it lead to discussions involving you and the Simpson family?"

Now she still presented herself as single to the outside world, so she wasn't worried about how this would affect her own life. Instead, she was concerned about the trouble it might bring to Camille once the truth came out.

In fact, from Brody's words today, she could clearly tell that both Brody and Page were indifferent towards Camille, as if she wasn't part of the family.

Therefore, she also worried about Camille's well-being. As her older sister, she naturally had to think more for Camille.

Camille's thoughts on this were, "It's okay. Those are just outsiders' opinions that we don't really care about. You don't have to worry about it, Ayan won't mind, and the Simpson family won't mind either. Let's see what the police investigation reveals. If there is really a connection, then there will definitely be consequences. We'll also have to face all those messy relatives and Armstrong Corp. So, after the police finish taking our statements, I'll accompany you to the police station again. You should ask them how they plan to handle Armstrong Corp's shares. If something happens to him, it's only natural that the shares will fall into our hands. But what I'm worried about now is whether he has already prepared a backup plan."

This question didn't just occur to Camille suddenly. In fact, when she was with the Armstrong family, Regina always asked Brody to give up some shares to save Vere. However, Brody hesitated and seemed unwilling. Wasn't Vere his long-awaited son? Why wouldn't he do it?

Or did he have other concerns and thoughts?

All these questions made Camille feel greatly unsettled, but she never had a chance to discuss it with Ayan. After all, she kept guiding Regina to say certain things at that time, so that the police could come in smoothly. The police were already waiting at the door.

Now, after talking about this matter, Camille finally expressed her inner thoughts.

Camille's words made Grace's face turn serious, and she instinctively asked, "If that's the case, Cami, what should I do?"

Camille didn't answer her question but looked at Ayan, who was driving, and said, "My guess is that it's a possibility, right?"

"Yes, it's highly likely, maybe it has already happened. Because we don't know what she's thinking, she hasn't shown her thoughts for all these days. So, is it possible that she's also playing a psychological game with us? After all, everything that's happening now is directly related to her. So, I suggest not targeting him directly but going after Regina. But before that, you have to be mentally prepared. Are you ready?" Ayan focused on driving, but he had contemplated many things in his mind, so his response was complete.

There were some questions that Camille and Grace might not have considered yet, but Ayan had already thought about them.

Either both of them couldn't fully pin the blame on him because without solid evidence, it couldn't be proven that Brody was the one behind it. In the end, their outcome would only be moral condemnation. However, after the incident, their relationship could be open and transparent, and perhaps they could free themselves from guilt and self-blame.
