Chapter 795: Daydreaming

Camille finished her meal. She got up, casting a fleeting glance at Ayanwith a triumphant smile. "Since you know you're wrong even thoughyou won't admit it, I'll punish you by making you do the dishes!"Camille smiled cunningly, and Ayan finally realized that she had done iton purpose. The frown on his forehead eased, and his voice becamehusky as he said, "Don't scare me."

Camille walked over to the couch, taking a seat that allowed her to faceAyan's dark eyes. She said, "It's because you always overthink things."But it seemed like he had improved by now. It used to be worse.

After finishing their meal, Ayan went to wash the dishes.

Camille secretly took a photo of him and sent it to Sienna. "How muchdo you think this photo can sell for?"

"Mrs. Simpson, can you cut it out? I'm all alone, and you're showing offyour love in front of me. If you keep doing that, I'll hold a grudge againstyou."

“I know you won't."

“I will!"

"Alright, maybe you will. But you still haven't told me how much it cansell for,” Camille couldn't help but laugh.

Sienna didn't reply anymore and vented her anger by ordering a bucketof fried chicken.

Camille didn't bother Sienna anymore, knowing she couldn't begenuinely angry. As for the photo, she naturally saved it and set it asthe background for her chat conversation with Ayan.

Snuggled on the couch, Camille held the remote control, browsingthrough movies. Although she had been at home for the past couple ofdays, she hadn't had the time to properly watch a movie.

She planned to ask Ayan to watch one with her later.

Just as Camille found a movie, Ayan finished washing the dishes. Hishands, with distinct joints, were slightly reddened from being soaked inwater. Camille couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Simpson, if theemployees of Simpson Group see how hard you work at home, willthey still have as much respect for you?"

"They won't have the opportunity to witness that," he confidentlyreplied, unperturbed.

He sat down beside Camille and watched the movie with her.However, they didn't manage to finish the movie as Kian called aroundnine o'clock.

On the phone, Kian said, "Mr. Simpson, the information is out. Ourpeople saw some strange people in Amber's hometown. From theirbehavior and accent, they don't seem to be locals, so it seems likethey've started to take action.”

"Okay, ensure Amber's safety."

"Understood. I'm heading there myself now."

Ayan advised Kian to stay safe before ending the call.

After Ayan put down his phone, Camille finally looked at him withconcern. "Ensure Amber's safety? Is someone going to harm her?""Yes."

"What do you mean, 'yes'? What have you done? Did Amber reallyknow something, which is why she left Hance City?"

"Yes, I had Kian release the information.”

“You did it on purpose? To lure them out?" Camille asked instinctively.She had to admit that Ayan was clever. There were definitely peoplewatching him now, so he wouldn't leave Hance City for a second. As forKian, even if he did leave, he would replace a way to do it discreetly.

Ayan didn't say much because the plan hadn't unfolded yet. Talkingabout it now would be useless.

That night, Kian arrived at Amber's hometown, but it was alreadymidnight.

However, some people specifically chose this time to knock on Amber'sdoor.

At this moment, both of Amber's parents were resting. When she heardthe knocking on the door, Amber immediately became cautiousbecause it wasn't normal for someone to come knocking so late. Mostof the people in their neighborhood were either middle-aged or children,and they would have already gone to bed at this hour.

So Amber's guard went up, and she quietly walked out of the bedroomwithout even putting on her shoes. She walked to the door and lookedoutside through the peephole, but there was no one and nothing outthere.

Amber was startled.

She gasped in silence, afraid to make a sound or even take a breath.Just as she was about to return to her room, her phone suddenly rang.Startled by the sudden ringtone, she immediately put it on silent mode.She looked at the screen displaying an unfamiliar number. Despite heranxiousness, she couldn't resist answering the call.

A threatening male voice came through the other end of the line:"Amber, tonight is a warning for you. If you're smart, you'll keep yourmouth shut and think twice about what to say. Otherwise, your parents’safety might not be guaranteed. Do you understand what I'm saying?"Amber held her breath and took a silent gasp. Her face turned pale andweak. Mrs. Torres, who had already been resting, came out of her roomupon hearing the commotion. Seeing Amber standing in the middle ofthe living room, she asked, "Amber, what are you doing here?"

Amber was frightened but immediately raised her hand to her lips,signaling her to be quiet. Then she quickly returned to her room.

In a hushed voice, she responded, "I don't know what you're saying; Ican't understand you. If you want to harm my parents, then I have nochoice but to call the police.”

“Calling the police? Are you threatening us? Let me tell you, you betterthink carefully and see whether the police can protect you for a lifetimeor if we can keep an eye on you forever. If you don't believe it, just waitand see!!!"

"What do you want? I have no idea what you're saying, so please don'tdisturb my life."

"Whether you understand or not, you know it yourself. I'm just kindlyreminding you not to provoke trouble when we are still nice to you."After saying that, the person on the other end hung up the phone.Amber was completely stunned.

She tightly grasped her phone, her heartbeat pounding loudly. Heremotions were in a terrible state.

Mrs. Torres's voice came from outside the room, "Amber, are youokay?"

Amber replied, "I'm fine. You should go back to sleep!"

Afterward, Amber remained silent. She sat on the edge of her bed,staring blankly out the window.

She knew very well who had made that call just now, which meant theywere starting to suspect her. What should she do?

Amber couldn't sleep the entire night. The matter consumed her mind,and she understood that if they already suspected her and made thatphone call, it couldn't be a simple warning. There would definitely be asecond or third time.

She could hide somewhere herself, but what about her parents?Before Amber could figure out what to do, the person who called herstarted threatening her through text messages. They even warned herthat if she reported them to the police, her parents wouldn't have aneasy life.

Even if she blocked those phone numbers, they kept coming from newones. In the end, she had no choice but to turn off her phone.However, turning off the phone didn't mean the situation was over. Fortwo consecutive nights, someone knocked on her door in the earlyhours, disturbing her parents’ sleep. Amber could only tell them, "It'sprobably some drunk person. Just ignore it. Don't open the door andget some rest."

Her parents didn't think much of it. It wasn't until the next morning whenAmber's mother went out to buy groceries and returned with a youngman.

Seeing this unfamiliar young man, Amber immediately became waryand asked, "Mom, who is he?"

Amber's mother smiled and said, "This gentleman helped me a lot. If itweren't for him supporting me, I would have fallen down the stairs. Ihad low blood sugar and almost fainted. It's all thanks to this youngman, so I invited him to stay for lunch.”

After Amber's mother finished speaking, she happily went to preparelunch, and she even asked Amber to make the young man feelwelcome.

When Amber's mother went to the kitchen and her father followed tohelp, Amber finally looked at the man sitting on the couch. She staredat him for a few moments and then heard him laugh, saying, "MissTorres, as I said, turning off your phone or blocking calls won't preventus from meeting. We have ways to replace you. Do you believe it now?"Amber's face turned pale, and she lowered her voice to interrogate him,"What do you want? I've already said I don't know anything. Isn't thatenough? What do you want?"

"Our boss doesn't believe what you said. If you want to ensure yourparents’ safety, there's only one way: pack your things and come withus!"

Amber fell silent, knowing she couldn't possibly agree to his demand.She tightly pursed her lips and remained unresponsive for a long time.The man stood up and leaned over, staring at her. "Think about it. Giveme your answer tonight, or don't blame us for not being polite.”
