My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 205: Loss

Camille wore a smile. The decision was made actually when sheuttered the words.

She is Brody's daughter. Although she doesn't have shares inArmstrong Corp, her identity was enough to demonstrate everything. Inaddition, Grace didn’t say a word at all, which showed obviously thatshe agreed with her.

Elijah lost the real power. Camille handed everything over to the twopeople she borrowed from Mario.

Elijah wanted to join others in protest, but was restrained by theemployee contract. Therefore, he had nothing to do but comply.

All of that was ready the moment Mario's secretary entered ArmstrongCorp.

After dealing with these things, Camille came out of Armstrong Corp,with Grace following behind. She didn't understand everything Camilledid tonight and she asked, “Camille, Elijah and dad are on good termsand he has been working hard for Armstrong Corp for many years.What you did might made the elders disappointed.”

“If I don't, Armstrong Corp would be over soon.”

Camille didn't say too much.

Grace asked, “What do you mean?"

“My meaning is simple. Don't trust anyone but yourself and don't letanyone bother dad until he recovered. Is that alright?”

Grace trusted Camille subconsciously after the warehouse incident, soshe nodded.

Grace looked intelligent, but she was a sheltered lady who didn’t knowmuch about business.

Camille gave her a deep look and did not say the words that came outof her heart for fear of upsetting her.

She got on the car after saying the words to her. Grace said quickly,“Camille, would you want to go to the hospital to visit daddy?”

“Nope. I don't think that they are willing to see me.”

“No, they...”

“Well. I'm afraid that you won't believe yourself if you continue. Camilleinterrupted her and rolled up the window.

She leaned in the back seat with her eyes closing. At the moment, Kiangot into the car.

“Mrs. Simpson, are you going to the company or to Simpson Group?”“Take me home. I'm a little tired.”

“Okay.”

Kian nodded and started the car.

Camille went back to her apartment. She lay down to rest after taking ashower.

Kian also took action as Elijah went to the hospital where the twojumpers stayed after Camille left Armstrong Corp.

Kian had already arranged for someone to follow him and startedlooking into his personal accounts and the ones who contacted withhim the most frequently.

After Kian's investigation, he found that Elijah had been plotting for ayear.

Relying on Grace's trust, he betrayed Armstrong Corp to make immoralmoney. Armstrong Corp appeared to be totally intact. In fact, there weremany problems, which were the main reasons why the companysuffered crisis when they ended the partnership with Simpson Group.Besides, the reason why Armstrong Corp owed so much debt was thatElijah misled Brody into signing some unfair debt agreementsdeliberately. Kian checked out the companies that Armstrong Corpowed money to. Every company was familiar with Elijah. And they wereall doing business with Elijah.

More importantly, the former settlement for Simpson Group wastransferred into his own account. And the employees who jumped offthe building to claim from Armstrong Corp were also used by Elijah toconfuse Armstrong Corp. He originally intended to transfer the moneyfrom his account quietly when Brody was too busy to pay attention tohim. However, Camille arranged other work for her, leaving him unableto get away.

Kian told Camille everything he learned, including some evidence andrecordings he investigated.

Kain said, “Mrs. Simpson, with these things, his crime must be a donedeal.”

Camille narrowed his eves slightly and said, “Thank you, Mr. Reid.”Camille took the items. She didn't do anything but ask him, “Do youthink that Armstrong family will believe me?”

Camille was not very confident about this.

Considering what Armstrong family had done to her, she thought theArmstrong family would rather trust Elijah than her.

Camille pressed her lips and looked blank.

Kian was also puzzled by the question.

Since it was a matter of Armstrong family, he couldn't tell for sure.

But he thought it over and had an idea finally for Camille. “Mrs.Simpson, I think Grace can still discern between right and wrong. Youcan send her the evidence anonymously so that she can make achoice.”

Camille stayed silent.

In fact, she felt quite ridiculous. She couldn't help replaceing out but shedidn't have the confidence to show her hand totally.

To the Armstrong family, she still could not ignore completely.

She took a silent breath and emailed the evidence to Grace as Kiansaid just now.

Camille waited for a long time with no result. If nothing came of it, shedidn't want to pay attention the matter anymore. She had signed up forthe design contest, so she needed three assistants while preparing forher entries.

The theme of the architectural design competition was farm. Sheneeded to focus on the innovative use for the farm while couldn't ignorethe meaning of the theme itself.

These demands posed a great challenge to all the designersparticipating in the competition. The theme was proposed by SimpsonGroup because they had snapped up a piece of land a few years agoand had not started yet. It was part of their new projects this year. Theyintended to develop a farm resort.

The first round of the competition was about the overall designframework, which determined whether the participants could enter thesecond round. If successfully entered the second round, they needed tosubmit the overall design outline which decided whether they couldmake it to the finals. Finally, the top three would be selected fromcomplete design drawing and other aspects.

In the evening, Camille came back to the apartment.

She sat in front of the computer staring at it in a daze. She had no idea,tilting her head and feeling weak.

Ayan brought her some fruits and asked, “What's going on?"

“Why would Simpson Group use the farm as the theme?"

She was confused.

Ayan laughed, “That land is fit for farms, not for tall buildings andhouses.”

“It could be a park.”

“Camille, I'm a businessman. Do you think that it would make a profit?Farm is the only way to make money for Simpson Group.”

He was serious enough to leave Camille speechless.

Camille smiled faintly and said, “Capitalist's ideas are really simple anddirect.”

“You are laughing at me?" Ayan pinched her face and made her turn tolook at him. Camille tried to escape, but he didn't give her a chance. Heasked in hoarse voice, “What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?”Her mood was visibly unhappy.

Camille didn’t deny it. She whispered back with her lips pursing, “No.”“Really?”

“Well.”

“If not, why did you replace fault with Simpson Group?” He narrowed hisdark eyes and stared at her.

Camille pressed her lips sightly and said, “Because I have to draw thedesign for the competition. You are allowed to decide the theme and donot allow me to complain?”

“Do you think it's difficult?”

"Of course. Or what?”

She replied later.

However, it was OK. She just couldn't draw any inspiration.

Ayan looked at her quietly, with the curves on his lips growing moreobvious and her voice showing a trace of temptation. “Since you don'twant to think about the manuscript, you can think about what to bribeme to let you enter the finals directly.”
