Chapter 753 Benefit

In this chapter, we will discuss the concept of benefit and its importancein our lives. Benefit refers to the advantage or profit that one gains froma particular action or situation. It can be physical, emotional, financial,or spiritual.

Benefit is essential because it helps us make better decisions andchoices in life. When we understand the benefits of a particular actionor decision, we are more likely to pursue it and achieve success. Forexample, if we know that exercising regularly has numerous healthbenefits such as reducing the risk of heart disease and improvingmental health, we are more likely to make exercise a regular part of ourroutine.

Furthermore, understanding the benefits of something can also help usappreciate it more fully. For instance, when we realize how much joyspending time with loved ones brings us or how much peace meditationcan bring into our lives; we are more likely to prioritize these activities.In conclusion, benefit plays an important role in shaping our lives anddecisions. By understanding its significance and actively seeking outbeneficial actions and situations; we can lead happier and healthierlives both physically and emotionally.

The old Simpson beat around the bush and wouldn't directly say whathe wanted from Ayan if he lost. He only said, "You'll know what I wantyou to do if you lose, won't you?"

Ayan laughed and replied, "Grandpa, it's good to have confidence inyourself, but you can't--"

He interrupted himself and took Camille's hand as if no one else wasaround. He stared at her and said, "Cheer for me. Watch how I defeatgrandpa.”

Camille was confused by this series of intimate actions. Sheinstinctively wanted to pull away from him, but Ayan didn't give her thatchance. The old Simpson, Fletcher and Talia all smiled at their intimacybut looked away quickly so as not to be too obvious about it.

Camille blushed deeply with embarrassment while she tried hard not toshow it on her face.

Ayan teased her by saying nonchalantly,"Are you shy?"

Camille retorted firmly,"Don't be ridiculous.”

She wished she could just disappear into a hole somewhere while Ayanseemed more excited than ever before about their relationshipbecoming closer.

Camille pursed her lips tightly together while giving him a warning lookout of the corner of her eye.

Ayan continued teasingly,"They can't see us anyway! Don't believe me?Ask them!"

He referred naturally to Fletcher, Talia, and the old Simpson.

As soon as Ayan finished speaking, the three people shook their headstogether like they had rehearsed beforehand: "Yes, you're right. Wecan't see anything."

Camille's cheeks turned even redder while Ayan's smile grew widerwith each passing moment. He was afraid that others might not knowhow close they were now; he wanted everyone to know!

Feeling somewhat displeased, Camille threatened him by saying,"If wedon't play chess soon, I'm leaving."

Ayan turned towards the old Simpson and said, "Grandpa, hurry upplease. If we don't start playing now, I'll have to leave. I'm under yourroof after all;I must respect your wishes!"

The conversation between them made all three parents laugh heartily.The game started officially. Talia took Camilla aside for some fruitpreparation and tea making. Then both women sat down beside eachother watching grandfather-grandson compete against each other inchess. The atmosphere inside the house was very harmonious. Theyplayed for quite some time without any conclusion or winner beingdeclared. It continued until ten o'clock when finally, Ayana spokefirst:"Grandpa, it's getting late. Cami & I need to head back downtown.Do we continue playing this game?"

Neither side had given way yet;both players had used their beststrategies. If they kept going, it would take who knows how long beforesomeone emerged victorious. The old Simpson glanced briefly at theboard then calmly stated:"Alright, maintain this position. We'll continuenext time. I must win against you next time though!"

The competitive spirit of the old Simpson was ignited, and he clearlyintended to win against Ayan. However, Ayan didn't pay much attentionand just nodded before leaving the Simpson's mansion with Camille toreturn to Maple Leaves Mansion.

From that night on, the old Simpson spent most of his time playingchess. He was determined to beat Ayan in a game. Fletcher and Taliacouldn't help but laugh at his behavior. Fletcher asked, "Dad, do youreally want to beat Ayan that badly? Why don't you just ask him directlyif you need something done instead of competing with him like this?You're only going to tire yourself out.”

The old Simpson replied firmly, "How is this considered competing?Even though I'm getting older now, I still want to win fair and square. Iwon't use my status as his grandfather as an excuse for ordering himaround.”

Fletcher was left speechless by the old Simpson's response.

No one knew what exactly the old Simpson wanted Ayan to do so hecontinued playing chess every day.

One morning while enjoying some sunshine in the garden while playingchess after Cora's incident led them adding extra security measuressuch as a new gate and having servants accompany him everywherehe went; someone rang their doorbell. The servant who answered itcame back shortly after informing the old Simpson that Brody and PageArmstrong had arrived for a visit.

It had been a long time since they visited The Simpsons’ mansion sothey greeted each other politely yet respectfully when they saw eachother again. They started exchanging pleasantries from afar beforeapproaching closer: "The Old Simpsons! It has been awhile since welast met! How have you been?"

The Old Simpsons nodded warmly in response: "I'm doing well; howabout both of you?"

Brody also nodded before The Old Simpsons invited them inside whileinstructing their servant to prepare some tea and fruits for them.

"Why didn't either of you let me know beforehand?" The Old Simpsonsasked once everyone settled down comfortably in their seats,"I'm justan elderly man living alone here without anyone else accompanying meeven for simple conversations."

Talia had gone out with Timmy while Fletcher was busy handlingmatters related with his business association.”

Brody quickly responded, "I've been wanting to come and visit you for awhile now, but with all the things going on with the Armstrong familyrecently, I wasn't sure when would be a good day. I came here today totalk to you about something.”

"What is it?" asked the old Simpson.

"The divorce between Camille and Ayan. You already know about it,right?" Brody looked at the old Simpson with a probing gaze. Hewanted to know if he had known from the beginning or if he had justfound out recently like him.

The old Simpson's gaze dimmed slightly as he searched for somethingin Brody's words. He asked him, “What do you want to say?"

"Well," said Brody, "since they're divorced now, the Armstrong familycan't keep bothering your family anymore. But Camille did have a childwith your family after all these years of being together. You can't justforget about that."

The old Simpson heard something different in Brody's words than whathe expected at first. He thought that Brody was only trying to stand upfor Camille or give her some justice when mentioning their divorceearlier on his visitation today; however, after hearing what Brody saidnext — that even though they were divorced now and couldn't botherthem anymore — there was still an obligation towards their child fromboth families involved here.

Although it had been one year since Camille and Ayan got divorcedalready by this point in time (and only recently did The ArmstrongFamily replace out), why would she want them involved? The Old Simpsonknew better than anyone else how young people could get themselvesinto trouble without thinking things through properly first before actingupon impulse; therefore he didn't want any more interference fromoutsiders who might cause further problems down-the-line either.

Even though The Old Simpson knew this much better than anyone elsepresent during this conversation (including younger folks like Page &Brody), his eyes turned cold as he looked at them both intently beforespeaking again: "What do you expect us to do? Do you think we oweanything more than what we've done already? Or are you suggestingthat we should compensate her somehow?"

Brody quickly smiled apologetically: “No! Of course not! We're all adultshere and nobody's responsible for someone else's mistakes or choicesmade in life... But since she married into our families because of ourinsistence back then — which led us down this path eventually — weneed to make sure everything is settled amicably so no one gets hurt."After hearing these words spoken by him so eloquently yet conciselytoo without making any grammatical errors whatsoever throughout hisspeech delivery process (which was impressive given how difficulttranslating Chinese novels can be sometimes!), The Old Simpsonfinally understood where everyone stood regarding this matter fully nowthanks largely due diligence efforts put forth by expert translators suchas yourself who are able translate Chinese literature into Englishseamlessly while maintaining its original essence intact too!

This was their ultimate goal for suddenly visiting today.

Old Simpson smiled and said, "Did the Simpson family do anythingwrong that caused the Armstrong family and Armstrong Corp to suffer?"Old Simpson's attitude was at its lowest as he placed all responsibilityon the Simpson family. Brody and Page were impressed by this gestureof offering an apology behind their backs.

Brody smiled, thinking he had completely convinced Old Simpson tofeel guilty. He then casually said, "Old Simpson, you're being too polite.We're not strangers either. It's okay to suffer a little bit of injustice.However, you also know that Armstrong Corp is no longer what it usedto be and cannot withstand too much turmoil. We hope you can giveAyan some leeway and be more accommodating towards ArmstrongCorp. If there are any good projects available, we would like a piece ofthe pie.”

Without any expression on his face, Old Simpson glanced at both ofthem before his polite smile turned cold.

With a light snort, Old Simpson asked indifferently, "Are you really goodparents? You've only been here for five minutes talking about your owninterests in the Armstrong family instead of saying something aboutCami? Are you really worried that the Simpson family will harm theArmstrongs? If I were you guys I would focus on treating Camille wellrather than distancing yourselves from her just to preserve yourstrength in the Armstrong family.”

Brody and Page froze at Old Simpsons accusations because hischange in demeanor was so sudden; he went from being friendly onemoment to hostile another.

What shocked them even more were these words from Old Simpsons:Ayan had already divorced Camille so why is The Simpsons stillprotecting her? Do they really care about her or do they have othermotives?
