Chapter 841: Murder

Chapter 841: Murder

Today was Camille's second day in Flento City. Since Mario was takingher and Ayan out for lunch, they didn't have any plans for the morning.They rested in the hotel until after nine o'clock. There still hadn't beenany news or activity from Sienna's side.

Ayan was on the phone. Even though he was in Flento City, he couldn'tneglect his work at Simpson Group. His phone was constantly ringing,and he was always glued to his computer. He had only taken a shortbreak yesterday, just for one day. Now, he was already swamped withwork.

So Camille was left alone on the couch, looking at the tall buildings ofFlento City through the window. The weather outside was clear andcloudless, but she felt bored, lying on the couch without moving.

She couldn't help but think that Sienna had probably felt the sameduring her time alone in Flento City. It made her feel a pang ofsympathy. Letting out a silent sigh, she realized that when a person hadfree time, they tended to feel bored and start to overthink. Perhapsbeing busy was better after all.

That way, there would be no idle time for wandering thoughts.However, some people couldn't withstand being pestered. Just asCamille thought about Sienna, her phone rang.

Camille answered with a smile, feeling happy inside. But shedeliberately said, "Finally awake? Why didn't you sleep a little longer?It's already late morning. You might as well have waited until lunchtimeto wake up!"

Just as Camille finished speaking, Sienna’s voice sounded somewhattired. "Cami, Mario can't treat you and Mr. Simpson to lunch today.""Huh?"

Camille was a little surprised.

She asked, "Does he have something to deal with?" However, sheinstantly felt relieved. She casually said, “It's fine not to be treated. Thatway, I don't have to face him. Let's have lunch together, and in theafternoon, we can go watch a movie. We plan to leave Flento Citytomorrow because he has work in Dane City, so..."

“I can't accompany you today. Can you have lunch with Mr. Simpson byyourself?" Sienna's voice sounded weak, as if she was extremely tiredand hadn't rested well.

This made Camille worry. "What's wrong with you?"

Sienna didn't answer directly but said, "Let's talk about it later. I'm reallysorry for not taking care of you properly and not spending enough timewith you. Please don't be mad at me, okay?"

Sienna apologized in a low voice, expressing her sincere remorse. Afterall, she had been the one hoping for Camille to come, but after shearrived, Sienna hadn't taken good care of them. There was some guiltin her heart.

Camille quickly replied, "Hey, what are you saying? Do we still need totalk about these things between us? But you have to tell me ifsomething happened. Sienna, if you can't even tell me while I'm herewith you, then when I return to Hance City, you won't say anything, andwe won't know what's going on?"

Camille felt a sense of worry as well. The promise they made last nightsuddenly changed. If Sienna had work to deal with, it would beunderstandable, but she refused to speak directly and her evasiveanswers were clearly hiding something. Camille could sense it clearly.Camille frowned, looking concerned, and subconsciously looked atAyan, her eyes filled with worry and unease.

Sienna's response was slow, as if she couldn't

figure out how to answer.

There was a brief pause for more than ten seconds before she spokesoftly, "Cami, please stop asking, okay? Let me figure out how toexplain it to you first. But don't worry, I haven't done anything foolish. Ijust encountered something unexpected, and I need to resolve it beforeI can contact you. When you and Mr. Simpson leave Flento City, sendme a message. If I don't reply, it means I'm busy. I'll get back to you assoon as I can, okay?"

Sienna's response only increased Camille's worry. Camille wanted tocontinue asking, but Sienna interrupted, saying, "Well, let's leave it atthat. I'm busy now. Have fun with Mr. Simpson, and don't worry aboutme. I'm really fine, so don't worry, okay?!"

After speaking, she abruptly ended the call.

Sienna wouldn't act like this if nothing was wrong. Her reaction andbehavior made it hard for Camille not to worry.

With a concerned expression on her face, Camille looked at Ayan andsaid, "Sienna said we won't have lunch together. She's scared of Mario,so how could she make this decision based on his arrangement? Canyou quickly have someone check if something happened?”

Camille knew that when she and Ayan came to Flento City this time,although it appeared to be just the two of them, there were alsobodyguards secretly protecting them.

Ayan had already gathered a rough idea from Camille's conversationwith Sienna. He walked over to Camille and reassured her in a lowvoice, "Could it be that she couldn't tell you because of some otherwork arrangement? That's why she canceled the lunch at the lastminute?"

“Is there something she can't tell me? There are no big secretsbetween Sienna and me. If it's just because of work, she could havedirectly told me that the work arrangement prevented us from havinglunch. Maybe she would even be relieved that we don't have to dinewith Mario anymore. After all, I know how much she detests him. So,it's definitely not because of work. There must be something else.”Camille shook her head. She had already sat up from lying down,tightly clutching her phone. She hugged her knees, her face cold andindifferent to the extreme.

Worry and unease appeared in her eyes, and she couldn't help butspeculate, "Could Sienna have murdered Mario to prevent us fromhaving lunch with him?"

Camille widened her eyes. Although she thought this idea was a bitexaggerated, it was the only possibility she could think of.

Ayan smiled helplessly and gently placed his hand on her cold hand. Ina soothing tone, he said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. I'll havesomeone investigate, and we'll wait for the results. But don't keepspeculating. If Sienna really murdered Mario, do you think she wouldhave a chance to call you?"

Ayan caressed her face, his gentle voice making her feel comfortable,like a gentle spring breeze.

His words slightly alleviated Camille's worries, but her expressionremained tense.

In front of her, Ayan made a call, and then they waited for the results ofthe investigation.

His people were quick, and within half an hour, they found out theinformation.

Ayan answered the incoming call on speakerphone.

The voice on the other end reported, "Mr. Simpson, we've found outthat Mario didn't go to the company today. There's no activity at KingGroup either. We checked the surveillance at Miss King's residence.After she returned last night, he went to see her. However, not longafter, they left the apartment together, taking the elevator. Miss Kingthen drove him to the emergency room."

"Due to Mario's special status, the hospital has completely sealed offany information from being leaked. However, from the video footagelast night, it seems that Mario is fine because he was still able to walk.The injury appears to be on his head. It was too dark at the time, so wecould only see something covering his head, indicating a head injury.”Hearing these words, Camille and Ayan exchanged a glance. Camille'seyes were filled with disbelief and shock.

However, she quickly grasped a few key words from the response.Sienna returned to the apartment late at night, but even so, Mario wentto see her. What happened after he found her? The duration of theirmeeting wasn't long, but within that short period, something significantmust have occurred, something only the two of them knew.
