My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 254: Rely On Power

Ayan turned up the corners of his lips and his deep eyes flashed with alight smile, “Are you worried about me?”

"Well, I'm not kidding you.”

Camille frowned and looked at him sternly.

He put his arms around her waist. Though his eyebrows were twistingslightly, the curve at the corner his mouth was obvious. “I'm not verysure. I can’t control the public opinion, especially the Simpson Group isindeed passive at present. Only by showing practical evidence to provethat it has nothing to do with Simpson Group can we stop the rumors.”Camille looked upset, "Don't you hide anything from me?”

“What do you think I can hide from you?”

“I don't know. If I know I wouldn't ask you.”

Camille's face was pale. She fixed her eyes on him without blinking.Looking at each other, Ayan smiled. “I didn't hide anything from you.The accident is out of blue. I can't replace the suspect and favorable clues.Now I have no idea how to start the investigation. The only thing thatcould be confirmed is that the accident is not caused by negligence atwork."

Without waiting for Camille to respond, he immediately said, “Well, it'sgetting late. Don't talk about it. What did you eat for dinner?”

“I had dinner with Sienna.” She replied. She still looked serious,because she was the architect of the project, in the same capacity asMr. Moss, the person in charge.

The more she thought about it, the more serious her expressionbecame. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, “Ayan, what are you goingto do with Mr. Moss?”

Ayan looked at her and stayed quiet for a second. Then he said, “Thatdepends on whether he is related to the accident. If it has something todo with him, he will take full responsibility. If not, I won't do anything.After all, he has worked for Simpson Group for many years and got tothe current position through his own efforts.”

Camille nodded. “Do you trust Mr. Moss?”

“Of course. If not, I wouldn't let him be in charge of such a big projectalone.”

“Now that you trust him, I believe it has nothing to do with him.”

“We shall know when replace out everything.”

Ayan replied faintly.

This matter didn't decrease in popularity with the passage of time.Instead, it was more heated.

The next morning, a large number of people saying that they wanted touphold justice appeared at the door of Simpson Group, which seriouslyaffected the normal entry and exit of the employees.

Ayan told Kian, “Call the police. Let them evacuate the people. Even ifSimpson Group is at fault, it's not their place to provoke.”

Kian nodded and called the police.

The police came to evacuate the onlookers while the scene wascaptured online immediately by someone who wrote, “Simpson Groupis a bully!”

“Is Simpson Group trying to shirk their responsibilities? Feel guilty?”

“I think Simpson Group is doing the right thing. Although there is anaccident now, but we can't just focus on others’ mistakes and forgetwhat the right things before, right?”

“You are right. I do think so, but I'm afraid of being bombarded.”“Please be sensible. Simpson Group will definitely give the public aresponse.”

People varied from each other. But Camille was upset to see it.

She turned off her phone and put it on her desk. Sienna noticed her actand comforted, “Every company will have crises of different degrees.None of us want such an accident to appear. Now that it has happened,what we have to do is to compensate the victims to make up for it to thegreatest extent. As for the rest, the public would tell with the passage oftime.”

“I know what you mean. What I'm worried about is whether it is anaccident or a contrived conspiracy. I'm not sure if there's somethingwrong with the other buildings or the ground.”

She didn't dare to tell Ayan the idea. Someone had already proposed itonline and Ayan could think about it certainly.

If there was something wrong with all the buildings, it will be a hugeloss for Simpson Group.

Her face was cold. the more she thought about it, the more solemn shebecame.

Preston knocked on the office door. “Cami, is that all right?”

Camille looked at Sienna subconsciously, who rolled her eyes andmouthed, “Here comes the tricky candy. I'm going out.”

Camille smiled helplessly and responded, "Nothing."

When Preston opened the door and came in, Sienna simply ignoredhim and walked out.

Sienna and Preston have known each other for many years, but shewas always indifferent. She even told Camille in the past, “If you'regoing out with him, there is no need to call me when you go out to havedinner or do anything else. I don’t want to see him.”

And she joked, "So you won't attend my wedding?”

"If you want me to attend your wedding, don't marry him. I can acceptanyone except for him”

"Go away!”

Thinking of this, Camille got used to Sienna’s attitude toward Preston.Preston nodded to Sienna, but Sienna didn't respond and even ignorehim.

Preston's face stiffened and whispered, “Does Sienna have a problemwith me?"

"Well, don't read into it. She's grumpy and just got angry with me!”Camille replied slightly and Preston didn't think much of it.

"What's up?" she asked.

“I want to talk to you about Simpson Group's accident.”

"OK."

"Did Simpson Group get you into trouble after the accident?”

"Nope. Why would you ask that?”

Camille was confused.

Preston frowned and whispered, “I saw someone online talking aboutwhether it could be the architect's fault, because theSimpson Grouphas never had this kind of problem before. Cami, I'm afraid that thepublic opinion will hit you.”

Camille was silent.

He added, “As far as current status is concerned, some people wereinjured and even a worker died. It is impossible to erase the accidenteasily. There must be someone to take on the responsibility. If they turnno you, will Ayan sacrifice you? After all, he wouldn't take a chance onSimpson Group, so..."

“I know what you mean. If so, I'll surrender. After all, I can also beregarded as the person in charge of this project, probably because ofmy negligence that led to the tampering.”

Camille thought to herself. If public opinion really turns on her, will Ayangive her up as Preston said?

Her reaction made Preston's eyes narrow slightly and show a craftylook.

He whispered, "Cami, I don't want to drive a wedge between the two ofyou. I think Ayan is in a dilemma. So, why don't you say that I'mresponsible for the project? Any responsibility lies with me. You arepregnant now and I don't want you to get hurt or abused.”

Camille looked at Preston in disbelief. "Preston, do you know what thatmeans?”

"Of course. But I hope that you'd say yes.”

"Well, I won't.” Camille didn't hesitate. “The one blamable should bearthe responsibility. It's unreasonable to give me the privilege just for mypregnancy. Besides, I am in charge of the project. There's no changeeven if we switch. Do you think people don't know that?"

"They know, but they have no proof.”

"Well, Preston, don't talk about it anymore. Everything's going to bealright, so don't think of things as so pessimistic.”

Camille didn't want to continue the topic, wondering why Prestonsuddenly offered to take her place as an architect.
