Chapter 869: Exposed

Camille immediately denied it and told Talia, "Of course not. I just don'thave any fantasies about the wedding. I can't imagine what it would belike, so I think the one you picked is the best, and I'll definitely like it!"After hearing Camille's explanation, Talia stopped pushing further andjust looked at Camille with concern written on her face.

Seeing Talia's expression, Camille quickly explained in a low voice,"Mom, I'm really fine. It's just that work has been busy lately, and I'mafraid I won't be able to focus on the wedding preparations. That's whyI want to leave everything to you."

Talia's doubts and worries gradually faded after hearing Camille'sexplanation.

Nodding gently, Talia gladly agreed to Camille's request. She said, "I'llhandle everything for you, but you have to promise me that you'll makethe final decision by yourself. I'll take care of all the details, but the finaldecision on whether you like it or not will be yours."

"Okay, I'll decide," Camille nodded, not wanting to worry Talia anyfurther or reveal her true feelings.

During lunch, Ayan called, but Camille didn't answer as she was eating.She decided to call him back later.

After finishing the meal, the old Simpson's voice came up, and heasked, "Cami, have you thought about where to hold the wedding? Isthere any place you like?"

Camille looked at the old Simpson and shook her head slightly, saying,"Grandpa, I haven't really thought about it. I think it's best to have thewedding in Hance so that it can be more convenient for everyone.”Her main considerations were Timmy, who was still so little, and the oldSimpson, who was getting old. Additionally, they would need to invitemany guests, so holding the wedding too far away wouldn't be veryconvenient.

However, the old Simpson meant, “The wedding is between you andAyan. As long as you both like it, you don't need to consider others toomuch. This is a major event in your lives."

“I know, Grandpa. Don't worry, I won't compromise myself. I just feelmore comfortable having the wedding in Hance. If we hold it elsewhere,everything will be unfamiliar, and it might not be as good. So, I prefer tomake it in Hance," Camille explained.

"All right, since that's what you think, then go with your choice," the oldSimpson nodded, and it was evident that he was in a good mood as heate more for dinner.

After lunch, the old Simpson talked privately with Camille for a while.The old Simpson asked with concern, "Are you agreeing to remarryAyan out of your own free will and not because he forced you, right?"Camille was briefly stunned by the question, but then she smiled lightlyand replied, "Grandpa, did you misunderstand? Of course, I agreedwillingly. If he really could force me, would we have divorced in the firstplace?"

Camille found it a bit funny, especially the way the old Simpson was soprotective of her, which was both touching and amusing. He seemedlike a mother hen protecting her chick in front of an eagle. Camille wasdeeply moved by what he did for her.

She wondered how many good deeds she must have done in herprevious life to have such a grandfather in this life.

The old Simpson said, “I'm just worried that you're not doing thiswillingly. If that's the case, even if you remarry, you won't be happy.Since you're single now, I don't want you to fall into the same trapagain. But if you're doing this willingly, then I'm relieved. After youremarry, take good care of each other, and if you need anything, justcome to me. I'll always be on your side unconditionally.”

Camille nodded, "Thank you, Grandpa.”

“You're my family. Why be so polite? Rest assured, no matter when, wewill always be on your side."

The reassuring look in the old Simpson's eyes made Camille feel hislove for her, which was even greater than his love for Ayan.

After chatting with the old Simpson, Camille spent some time withTimmy before letting the driver take her back to Maple LeavesMansion.

By the time she returned, it was almost time for work, so she headedstraight to the museum.

It was a busy afternoon.

As she was occupied, Camille didn't answer Ayan's call, and his moodwas not good throughout the afternoon.

The entire office seemed to be filled with a cold atmosphere, and thesubordinates reporting to Ayan were hesitant to breathe.

They couldn't help but ask Kian privately, "Kian, is Mr. Simpson in a badmood?"

Kian had also sensed it, but he couldn't casually talk about it, so hesaid, "The Simpson Group has a lot of things to handle, and Mr.Simpson is very busy, so naturally, his mood isn't great. So, everyoneshould just focus on work and try not to bother him with unnecessarymatters."

Everyone found this reasonable and didn't continue probing.

After seeing off a few executives who had reported their work, Kianbrought some documents into Ayan's office and put them on his desk.He quietly reminded Ayan that these documents needed his signaturebefore preparing to leave.

At that moment, Ayan spoke up, "Has Preston returned to Hance?"Kian hesitated for a moment but still replied, “Not yet. The matter withthe Walker family hasn't been resolved. The Walker family's parents arestill unwilling to let them get married, but Molly insists on having thischild. Even though she knows about the other women around Preston,she still sticks to her decision. So, things are still at a standstill.”

Ayan had already settled most of the matters with Austin, and it was nolonger related to him. However, Cora was still in his hands, and Austinwouldn't give up trying to obtain information from him.

After a brief silence, Ayan told Kian indifferently, "Since Molly insists ongetting married, there's no need to inform the Walkers about Preston'sother woman for now. Haven't you already established a closerelationship with the Uthmans, who are also close to the Walker family?Use the Uthmans as intermediaries to make Luke demand sincerityfrom Preston and see if Preston is willing to give up the chance to tiehimself to the Walker family.”

The Uthmans and the Walker family have been close for many years,maintaining a friendly relationship. However, even in such closerelationships, there can be hidden conflicts. The Uthmans envy theWalker family for having only one daughter, Molly, yet their businessthrives. In contrast, the Uthmans have two sons who are engaged in abitter power struggle over the control of their family business.

Ayan wanted to know how much capital Preston had, as he wouldeventually confront Preston. Therefore, he needed to be fully preparedfor that day, and he wouldn't be restricted or threatened in any way.This also included ensuring that the Simpson family wouldn't beinvolved. Dealing with Preston only required one person, and Prestonwasn't worth the entire Simpson family's involvement.

Kian nodded and was about to arrange everything as requested, butbefore he could speak, Ayan's voice sounded again. He said, "Contactthe people responsible for handling marriage certificates and informthem that I might bring Camille there anytime."

"Mr. Simpson, going directly to the civil affairs office might expose theplan. Why don't I ask them to come to Simpson Group to handle thepaperwork for you? Or should I go with Mrs. Simpson on your behalf?"Kian suggested.

After all, they hadn't actually divorced, they were just going through themotions. If they were to go directly to the civil affairs office, even withprior arrangements, there would still be some risks.

Ayan looked serious, and so far, he hadn't come up with a completelyrisk-free plan, which made him unsure how to explain Camille's coldattitude toward him last night.

He understood Camille's thoughts. He had initiated the idea ofremarriage several times, and after a lot of effort, he had finallyconvinced her to agree. However, now that she had agreed, he seemedreluctant to go through the legal proceedings. Camille must have somethoughts about it. And she must be a bit angry now, since she didn'tanswer his calls.

Kian's suggestion that he could handle the procedures on his behalfwasn't something Camille would agree to. She would definitely wanthim to be personally involved.

So, what should he do?
