Chapter 835: Clarification

Listen, is she even a bit afraid of making Ayan angry?

She's just a total drama queen.

Camille also cooperated by raising her hand and pulling her intoembrace, soothing her softly, “Don't think too much. If he's sensible, hewon't be upset. After all, we haven't seen each other for so long. You'remy little baby, and it doesn't matter if anyone is angry."

Sienna nodded, snuggling in Camille's arms like a typical drama queen.Although Ayan didn't hear their conversation, something seemed offwhen he answered the call. He felt like someone was trying to instigatea conflict between him and Camille.

The call Ayan received was from Kian, who relayed the current situationof Campole in detail.

Kian said, "According to our cooperation with Mr. Davalos and Mr.Moya, Norman Group has already started issuing statements and isdemanding that lawyers hold those who made accusations againstAustin accountable. The investigation has begun. Mr. Davalos and Mr.Moya just contacted me as well. Their actions have made most of thepeople in Campole and the online community side with Norman Groupand Austin. Now it depends on what Austin will do next."

Ayan squinted his eyes and uttered a flat "Hmm" without any warmth inhis voice.

He continued, "Since Mr. Davalos and Mr. Moya have chosen tocooperate with us, you can decide what to do after this matter isresolved. Arrange for someone to stay in Campole to keep in touch withthem.”

"Yes, that's what I planned. So can I go to Dane City directly afterAustin responds?"

"Yes."

Ayan replied softly.

The conversation didn't last too long because Kian was still meetingwith Mr. Davalos and Mr. Moya, so after ending the call, he immediatelyreturned to the private room to continue dining with them.

Mr. Davalos knew that Kian's call was for Ayan, and Kian didn't hide it.He admitted it candidly when Mr. Davalos asked.

Mr. Davalos looked thoughtful and asked in a low voice, "Kian, does Mr.Simpson know about this? Will Norman Group be implicated becauseof Austin? If Norman Group is involved into it, it will be trouble.”

“Don't worry, I already mentioned it at the beginning. Mr. Simpson onlytargets those who provoke him. Austin has crossed Mr. Simpson'sbottom line, so he had to take action against him. As for the others,even though they work for Austin and also Norman Group, they areinnocent, especially you two. We have a cooperative relationship now,so how could Mr. Simpson target you?"

Kian looked sincerely at the two men. His words were not just toplacate them; they reflected Ayan's true thoughts as well.

Having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy.Especially after this incident, Mr. Davalos and Mr. Moya havecompletely taken over Norman Group. In the future, there may be manythings that require their assistance.

After receiving Kian's response, Mr. Davalos and Mr. Moya raised theirglasses and clinked them with Kian's, saying, “Then we'll rely on Kianto speak for us in front of Mr. Simpson. Although Norman Group maynot be as prosperous as Simpson Group, it is still an establishedcompany with a strong voice in Campole. As long as Mr. Simpsonstands by our side, we will have the best cooperative relationship withhim in the future.”

Kian nodded and said, "You're being too polite. Since you've chosen tobe on the same boat as us, we're naturally friends now. Mr. Simpsoncouldn't come personally this time due to some personal matters, buthe has asked me to come here on his behalf. Once there's a responsefrom Austin, I might leave Campole first. It has been a long time, andAustin might start to suspect something, so I'll arrange for an assistanthere to stay in contact with both of you."

Mr. Davalos and Mr. Moya also nodded in agreement.

At this point, Mr. Moya raised his own question and asked, "Kian, doesMr. Simpson mean that our cooperation should remain confidential?"Mr. Moya had concerns about this kind of secretive collaboration. Whatif Ayan suddenly refused to cooperate?

Or if Ayan counterattacked unexpectedly, Norman Group would be inimmediate danger.

So Mr. Moya's concerns were not unfounded.

Kian answered this point by saying, "Mr. Simpson anticipated yourconcerns from the beginning. Your worries are actually quite normal,but Mr. Simpson's arrangement is actually for the best. This quiet anddiscreet cooperation won't bring you any trouble or danger. If Austinreplaces out that you're working with us to plot against him, what do youthink he would do?"

Kian smiled as he carefully posed the question to Mr. Davalos and Mr.Moya.

Naturally, his words made both of them slightly stiffen, and Mr. Davalosand Mr. Moya exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shockeddisbelief.

Observing their reaction, Kian asked in a low voice, "Have you everconsidered this? Or do you think you know Austin well enough tobelieve he wouldn't do such a thing?"

Of course, Austin would definitely do such a thing.

Mr. Davalos and Mr. Moya immediately denied this notion in theirhearts. After all, Austin had already schemed on how to make them turnagainst each other even before they had done anything. Austin wantedto get rid of them too, which would conveniently solve his currenttroubles and allow him to maintain control over Norman Group in thefuture.

While Austin had been calculating behind the scenes, they hadn't takenany actual actions to harm him, despite their dislike for him and hisdisrespect. After all, when it came down to it, they were still on thesame boat.

The two of them contemplated for a long time, exchanged anotherglance, and already had their answer in their hearts.

Both Mr. Davalos and Mr. Moya nodded in agreement, saying, "Kian isright. Mr. Simpson's foresight is impressive. If Austin were to replace outabout our cooperation, he would definitely act desperately. So it's betterto continue this quiet collaboration, which will also benefit our futuredevelopment.”

"As long as you understand. Are there any other questions?"

"No, there aren't.”

"Since there are none, I'll leave first. You can leave later. If Austin oranyone else asks, including your families, you should say that you werejust having dinner with the former president of the Chamber ofCommerce because you needed his help with the Norman Groupmatter."

Kian carefully reiterated, afraid that they might become overconfidentand forget the correct response.

After both of them nodded, Kian finally got up and left.

The Norman Group matter had been temporarily brought under controlthanks to the strong defense and various clarification statements fromMr. Davalos and Mr. Moya.

Kian seemed satisfied with this arrangement, as he didn't reach out tothem proactively.

That night was peaceful and calm.

Whether it was Hance City, Campole, or FI

ento City, everything was quiet without any disturbances.

But before a storm arrives, it's always like this. The real turbulent waveswill only be late, but they won't be absent.

Camille and Sienna chatted at a quiet bar for most of the night, whileAyan sat there without having a single drop of alcohol, quietlyaccompanying the two of them as their chaperon.

The two girls had a few cocktails, and the effects started to kick in.
