My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 259: Clarification

Ayan felt the meaning of the word fear for the first ime and immediatelycontacted Sienna.

When the call came through, Ayan asked instantly, “Where's Camille?”“She's at work. What's wrong with Eileen? Now everyone wassmearing Cami, thinking that Cami deliberately framed Simpson Groupbecause she wanted to get Simpson Group. Her mobile phone wasabout to explode and there were many reporters and so-calledvolunteers waiting downstairs in the company, what should I do now?”Sienna sounded so anxious that she could have strangled Eileen.Ayan had anticipated what she was saying and immediately contactedCamille to turned her cell phone off.

Listening to Sienna, he looked gloomy and said in an extremely hoarsevoice, “Would you please take her downstairs to the undergroundparking lot to wait for me, I'll go over immediately. If not, don't go out ofthe company and please take care of her for me before I come. Thanksfor your trouble.”

The last a few words were really rare from Ayan's mouth.

But there was no much time for that. Sienna agreed immediately andwent to the office to replace Camille.

Camille stood with her arms wrapped around her chest by the floor-to-ceiling window, where she had a clear view of the crowd gatheringbelow the building.

It was very dense, like ants.

Hearing the door opened, she was stunned then she heard Sienna say,“It's me.”

Camille looked at her and whispered, “I'm fine. Have anyone beenaffected?”

“This is no time to consider others. Take care of yourself and the babyfirst.” Sienna walked over and stood in front of her. She said in a lowvoice, “Ayan called me just now. He asked me to replace a way to walk youdownstairs to the garage. I'm going to get out and look around. Nobodyknows me, so they won't do anything to me.”

“Find someone to come with you.”

“Well, don't leave the office until I knock on the door, alright?”

Sienna’s caution made Camille nod, a bitter taste running through herheart.

When Sienna left, Camille locked the door.

In another office across the wall, Preston was furious, too. On theground were scattered glasses.

He tugged at his tie with one hand, then crossed his waist and shoutedin a cold voice, “Are you crazy?"

The woman on the other end of the phone said unconcernedly, “I'm notcrazy. I just said what I want to say and I didn’t point at Camille as themastermind.”

“Eileen, I told you not to injure her. Don't you understand? Do you thinkI won't do anything to you, given our relationship? Do you know whatCamille means to me? Are you forcing me to hate you by doing this?”Preston questioned word by word. His face was extremely gloomy, witha distinct chill on his eyebrows.

His words silenced Eileen for half a second. “What do you mean?”

“I've warned you time and time again not to injure her even if you don’tlike her. I won't settle accounts with you this time, but Ayan won't spareyou certainly. You'd better figure out yourself.”

“Are you threatening me? Do you care about her so much? Don't forgetthat our relationship is much more...." Eileen was thrilled.

“So, you want to get your way because of our relationships?” Prestonsneered, “You want Ayan to be willing to marry you, but I don't care. Nomatter what method is used, I'll achieve my purposes and Camille willbe there for me. As for the rest, do you think I'll care them?”

Preston's ruthlessness and decisiveness were clear to Eileen from thefirst day she met him.

Otherwise, he would not have endured until now, nor would he havebeen used by others to achieve his goals, nor would he have stayeddormant in the King family for so many years, only to harden his wings.Eileen felt fear at this moment.

She feared Preston more than Ayan. Even if she knew that that if shedid something that hit his bottom line, he wouldn't really do anything toher, but the process would be definitely painful for her. As for Ayan, hewon't do anything scary. Everything would come in the open.

Eileen was silent.

She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn'tbecause she didn't know what to say. What's more, Preston didn't giveher a chance to talk and hang up the call.

Preston dropped the phone to his desk. He narrowed his eyes. His facewas full of sneer. Then he thought, “That's alright. Let Camille see whocan protect her.”

Preston looked at the people gathering downstairs. Then he called tohis secretary and asked, "Where's Miss. Armstrong?”

“Miss. Armstrong is in the office.”

"Is she alone?”

“Yeah.”

Preston nodded, then went to Camille's office.

He knocked on the door and whispered, “Cami, It's me.”

Camille asked, “What's up?”

“Are you OK? I contacted a journalist who cooperated with us to askhim the matter online. The reporter said that it may be a bit tricky andit's not good for you if it continues. How do you think the solution Imentioned to you before?”

Camille's face was a little stiff. Why did he mention it again?

She said, "Preston, I want to be quiet. I don't want to say that thing, it'sunfair to you.”

Preston pursed his lips and took a silent breath, “Cami, open the door.When it comes to you, I don't care if it is fair. I just don’t want put you inany danger. Now the rumors on the Internet are too fierce. If itcontinues, you will be misunderstood by the public though SimpsonGroup clarifies.”

“Well, Preston, don't say any more. can you leave me alone?

Preston was silent and looked solemn.

In the end, of course, he didn't force Camille to open the door.

Camille, who was across the door, sat expressionlessly on the sofa.She was not moved by Preston's words at all.

She wondered why Preston insisted on replacing her as the architect.If it was for fear that she would be hurt, she would appreciate it. But shehad already refused and expressed her inner thoughts. Now hementioned it again, which made Camille feel a bit uncomfortable.

Was she too petty?

Preston was obviously helping her, and she should be grateful.

How could she feel so uncomfortable right now?

Camille pursed her lips and twisted her eyebrows, sitting silently for awhile.

About ten minutes later, Sienna came back.

She knocked on the door, “Cami, open the door.”

Hearing her voice, Camille got up and opened the door.

Seeing Sienna, she asked, "May I go down?"

“Nope. There are a few reporters disguised as the employees of thecompany opposite waiting at the door and the basement are full of thereporters who are holding their cameras. Therefore, we can’t godownstairs. We can only stay at the office and wait for Ayan.”

Camille nodded, looking upset.

Sienna followed her into the office, closed the door and locked it.

She comforted, “Don’t be cranky. It is all Eileen’s nonsense. You are notsuch a person. People who know you are not unaware and theSimpson family will also believe you.”

Camille smiled faintly, but it was too faint to tell if you didn’t look closely.She was silent for a moment and then asked in a low voice, "Sienna,do you think that the rumors will come true?”

“What do you mean?”

“The people who say these words are just to sow discord, but a lot ofpeople who listen to these words will remember them a little bit.Besides, there's no smoke without fire. Do you think Ayan would fall forit if he hears too much?”
