My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 806: Swagger

Ayan's thin lips pursed tightly as his eyes flickered with a coldindifference, creating an atmosphere that made others dare not bedisturbed.

After a forty-minute drive, the car parked on the side of the road, aboutfive hundred meters away from the hot spring villa.

Overgrown with weeds, this vast area had been bought out for thedevelopment of the hot spring resort, and no one lived here, making itexceptionally desolate.

Choosing this place to hide someone was indeed a good idea.

The bodyguard in the passenger seat turned to look at Ayan. "Mr.Simpson, let me check for any surveillance or monitoring devices first.We don't want to be discovered before we even enter.”

Ayan nodded, and the bodyguard quickly turned on the computer andworked swiftly. Finally, he confirmed that there was a surveillancecamera at the main entrance and two more inside. He immediatelyreported this to Ayan.

Ayan remained silent, his gaze fixed outside the window, lost inthought.

For almost a minute, everything was quiet before Ayan spoke calmly,"When I go in later, if I face any danger, you must ensure her safety.After I confirm she's here, you can contact Kian to prepare.”

The bodyguard nodded, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes. "Mr.Simpson, it may be dangerous for you to go in alone. Why not let meaccompany you?"

"No need. You stay here. If someone else enters besides me, whoknows what Austin might do?"

After saying that, Ayan instructed the driver and the bodyguard to getout of the car. He then got out of the car himself and walked to thedriver's seat.

He sat in the car, started the engine, and headed toward the hot springvilla.

The car stopped at the front gate, but instead of getting out, Ayanhonked the horn.

The once empty and quiet hot spring villa was instantly surrounded bythe sound of the car horn, alerting those inside.

Austin had just been leaning back on a wooden rocking chair. Uponhearing the loud horn, he immediately sat up, his eyes filled withvigilance and unease.

His subordinates looked at him, asking, "Mr. Norman, someone's here?Could it be our people?"

Austin's expression remained cold and indifferent, with a hint of chill inhis eyes. "Do you think our people would be so blatant?"

"You mean it's someone else?"

"Go and check."

"Alright, I'll go now.”

Austin's eyes flashed with a touch of coldness, but he still had somedoubts. He quickly summoned another subordinate. "What about her?""Mr. Norman, don't worry. Everything is fine. We have her locked in aroom, tied to a chair. There's no way she can escape.”

This person had been keeping an eye on Camille all along and wasaware of her identity. He had entertained the idea of sleeping withAyan's wife, thinking that it would be a lifelong boast.

But it remained just a thought, as it required courage and audacity. IfAyan found out, he would probably end him without hesitation.

Austin seemed to have seen through his thoughts and glanced at himwith a cold gaze. In a detached tone, he said, "Put away those thoughtsin your mind. She is of great use to me."

"Mr. Norman, I understand. I just wonder if, after you're done with her,you could give us a chance?"

"With money, what kind of woman can't you have?" Austin had nointention of treating Camille in such a way. He knew that if he really didthat, Ayan would do everything in his power to retaliate against him andthe Norman family, making it a lose-lose situation.

He believed that what he was doing now didn’t intend to harm Camille.It was all because Ayan had wronged him first. If it weren't for Ayanconstantly keeping Cora away from him, why would he resort to suchactions?

As Austin contemplated, his men finished checking the surveillance.His expression became serious and tense as he said, "Mr. Norman, itseems to be Ayan. He knows that we've been stalking him, so he'sbeen watching the surveillance cameras closely.”

Upon hearing Ayan's name, Austin's expression froze instantly.

He asked, "Is he alone or did he bring someone with him?"

"Just one car, and he's the only person inside."

"That's impossible. Ayan is always cunning. Double-check and give mea definite answer. I need to know if he's alone or not.”

His face turned unpleasant. While Ayan replaceing this place wasn'tentirely unexpected, it still felt too soon.

With a cold face, Austin's gaze remained fixed as he seemed lost inthought. Suddenly, he paused, as if he had figured something out, andthen he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

After a brief ring, someone answered on the other end, "Hello, Mr.Norman!?"

"Call and ask where Ayan's secretary is. Tell him you have somethingimportant to discuss."

"Mr. Norman, it will be exposing my location like this!"

"Sean, don't worry. I'm here, and since I promised to protect you, I willdo it." Austin lit a cigarette and took a drag, a hint of disdain flickering inhis eyes. But his voice remained calm as he continued, "Sean, don'thave any concerns. I'm not as ruthless as Mr. Baxter. If you're willing tocooperate with me, then we're friends. Shouldn't friends help eachother?"

"Besides, I want to see if Sean is truly sincere with me."

After finishing his words, Austin ended the call. His men also returnedafter their investigation, and after double-checking, they were certain.Austin asked, "It's only Ayan, right? Just him?"

"Yes, Mr. Norman, it's only Ayan, just him. But..."

"But what?"

“I can't help but feel he's too calm. Is he not afraid at all? He doesn'tseem to care about us, as if he's already prepared for us. Shouldn't weleave with his wife first? Let him be unable to catch up with us?"

This kind of talk was undermining their own morale.

Austin's face filled with coldness, and he kicked out angrily, “Get lost!"Austin was furious. He questioned the man who was kicked and hadstumbled back several steps, "What do you mean? Do you think Ayanis formidable? Am I not as good as him? Can't I come up against him?"The man was terrified.

He looked at Austin with a timid face and said, "Mr. Norman, youmisunderstood. I didn't mean that. I was just worried."

"Worried? What's there for you to worry about? Do I need you to worryfor me? Get lost, and don't let me see you."

Austin was extremely angry. Who did this guy think he was? Everyword he said showed his fear of Ayan.

Was he scared?

What was Ayan compared to him?

Was Ayan even worthy of making him afraid?

Austin completely ignored one question, not knowing who had oncesaid that the less a person has, the more sensitive he becomes.Austin confirmed that it was indeed only Ayan who had come, so hedialed to Ayan.

He put it on speakerphone, sat back in his chair, held a cup of coffee,and provocatively spoke, "Mr. Simpson, since you're here, why don'tyou get out of the car and come inside? I won't come to greet you. Andyou just come on your own!"

Austin deliberately spoke this way, intentionally showing his superiorityover Ayan.

But Ayan didn't care about all that. He simply pushed open the car doorand got out. He was wearing a black suit that he had worn at thecompany during the day, but after a long day of running around, he hadloosened his tie, and the top two buttons of his shirt were undone,exuding a hint of reckless and ruthless aura.

He closed the car door and walked towards the entrance of the hotspring villa. The row of villas inside was neat and tidy, althoughabandoned, the structures were still intact. Ayan casually glanced atthem and spoke in a cool voice, "Where are you? Playing hide andseek?"

Austin chuckled, "Mr. Simpson, with your abilities, I believe you can replaceme. You have ten minutes. Hm?"
