My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 228: Accident

Camille frowned. It was the first time that she had received such ananonymous call. She didn’t have much reaction, because she didn'twant others to hear it, which would make them nervous. She saidindifferently, “You even dare to let me hear your real voice. Whatqualifications do you have to ask me to withdraw the competition?”“I'm just giving you my advice kindly. I can't help if you don't listen tome. I can tell you truthfully that you won't be selected for today’scompetition. If you don't trust me, we'll see.”

That done, the one on the other side of the phone hang up directly. thearrogance and confidence between the words made Camille'seyebrows twist more tightly, who was it?

Camille clutched her mobile phone, looking cold and gloomy.

She compressed her lips slightly, reminding herself that she must becautious. But she didn't rule out that the call was just a hoax only toconfuse her.

Either way, she wouldn't be afraid.

Camille indicated no signs of being out of place, and continued toparticipate in the artwork inspection until it was time to pack up and setoff.

Before leaving, they were cheered by the colleagues at the company.And Preston escorted them to the elevator personally. He said in anencouraging tone, “Relax. No matter what the result is, don't pushpressure on yourself. Cami, it is just a competition, not a test of yourability.”

"Alright. I get it.”

Camille nodded.

“You guys need to cooperate with Miss. Armstrong. I've booked arestaurant. Let's get together tonight.”

"Don't worry. Mr. Simpson.”

The three of them chorused.

Preston looked at Sienna who was standing next to Camille finally andsaid in a soft voice, “Sienna, would you please come with Cami to thegame?”

"Camille is my best friend,"Sienna said, "I'm not doing it for anyoneelse, just for her. Therefore, I'm quite willing.”

Preston smiled stiffly, with an awkward look on his face.

Thankfully, the elevator opened at the moment. Camille waved and ledthe four people into the elevator.

Preston stood outside waving goodbye to them and gazed after as theelevator closed before turning around and walking into the office.Forty minutes later, they arrived at the scene.

They were led by the staff to the designated lounge, where thedesigners could make the final preparations.

When they arrived at the longue backstage, the staff opened the doorand said, “Miss. Camille, you could make preparations here beforegoing on stage. We'll bring fruit and coffee later. I won't bother you.”“Thanks for you trouble.”

“My pleasure.”

After the stuff left, Camille thought of something suddenly and askedYessica to close the door. She said, “We need to check if the room issafe.”

Yessica understood immediately. She turned off all the lights andinspected the room with the camera function, eventually reassured bydetermining that there was only the monitor coming with each longue.Seeing this, Sienna asked, “Camille, why are you so cautious?"

“It's always better to be careful.” Camille replied lightly. Especially thephone call last night made her have to be wary.

Sienna didn't think twice about it, assuming that she took the contestseriously.

With more than one hour before the game started formally, Camilleasked Yessica to turn on her computer and they went over the drawingsagain. After making sure that everything was in order, Camille went tothe bathroom with Sienna.

Sienna knew that Camille hadn't competed such a big competition for along time. She comforted her, “Honey, are you nervous? In fact, there isno need for you to be nervous. I know what you're capable of. You'll befine.”

Camille didn’t need any pretense in front of Sienna. “Hope thateverything goes well.” She said with a silent sigh.

As for her ability, she was confident certainly. She was not self-conceitbut she was confident.

Sienna echoed Camille's words, “Well, don’t worry. Everything will befine.”

Camille smiled faintly, “May it be.”

A few minutes later, the two of them came out the bathroom. Siennawas curious about the whole setting, so she wanted to take Camille fora tour.

However, as soon as they reached the rest area for the participants,they saw a group of people marching around, led by a woman in a sexydress and elaborate make up, who was wearing sunglasses so theycouldn't see her appearance clearly.

They didn't want to make way obviously, so Camille subconsciouslypulled Sienna aside. As the woman passed, the corners of her mouthturned up in a slightly dismissive smile.

When they passed away, Sienna grumbled, “Who are they? They areso arrogant.”

Camille smiled and said, “Suck it up. For the sake of your curiosity,we'd better to have a look on the layout first.”

Sienna turned it up, while Camille also wandered, was this woman alsoin the competition? With so many people, maybe she was a veryfamous designer.

Camille accompanied Sienna through the entire set-up scene. The hostwas already testing the microphone on stage, so the two walked to thelounge.

Back in the break room, Yessica was alone.

Camille asked, “Where did the others go?"

“They went to the bathroom.” Yessica replied. She pointed to the fruitand tea on the table while

saying, “This is sent by the staff just now.”

Camille didn’t care about it thoroughly and even didn't look at it. Hersights fell on her laptop. She

frowned and said, “Why didn't you turn off the computer?”

Yessica replied immediately, “It was turned off just now.”

Camille knitted her brows, looking cold. She checked the drawings, butthe encrypted folder showed "This folder is empty”.

She clicked on all the files on her computer immediately, only to replacethat each of them was empty.

Her expression went contemplative and serious at once.

Sienna sensed her change and asked, “Camille, what happened?”“The computer has been tampered with and everything was gone,including our entry for the competition.”

She was accustomed to drawing an outline on paper and thenmodifying it on the computer. After that she would continue the nextround of outline on paper and correct it again on the computer again,repeating the procedure until it was finished each time. At last, shewould shred all the pieces of paper in case somebody fiddled.

Her computer has always been kept well, because as an architecturaldesigner, there were a lot of things in her laptop. And that's why shespecially invited a computer professional to install the security system.But now the system was formatted directly, which cannot be somethingwrong with the computer. It must be intentional by someoneexperienced.

On hearing Camille's words, Yessica tensed at once. She said quickly,“Miss. Armstrong, I swear it was not me. I've never left the room. I'vebeen working for you for so long and I know your habits, so...”

"Who else has been in the room since I left?”

“The staff who delivered the fruit.”

“Well.”

Camille nodded and whispered to Yessica, “This is just between thethree of us, alright?”

“But it's only half an hour before the game, we...”

“That's what I should worry about. All you have to do is to pretend youdon't know anything.”

Camille interrupted her and whispered.

“Well, I see.” Yessica nodded.

Camille called Kian immediately. She had the only way to replace out whodid it.
