Chapter 900: Danger

Camille's reaction caught Ayan's attention, and he asked, "What'swrong?"

Camille shook her head, turned down the volume of the TV with theremote, and answered the phone call, "Hello? Summer!!"

It was Summer calling.

Though they had each other's numbers, they had never called eachother before. The numbers were kept just as a backup.

Summer calling at this hour meant something serious, right?

Summer asked softly, "Miss Camille, did I disturb you?"

"No, what's the matter?"

"Well, there's something I want to discuss with you. Can I meet you inperson?"

“Right now?" Camille was surprised.

Summer replied, “Yes, now. I'm outside Maple Leaves Mansion. Youmentioned your address earlier, so I took a cab and came here."“You're already at the entrance?" Camille stood up immediately. "I'llcome down now. You can wait in the security office.”

"Okay."

After their brief conversation, Camille looked at Ayan and said, "I needto go out for a bit. One of my colleagues from the museum isdownstairs and wants to talk to me about something related to theproject.”

“Right now?"

"Yes."

Ayan picked up the remote and turned off the TV. He said, "I'll comewith you."

Ever since the last kidnap incident, Ayan couldn't help but worry whenCamille went out alone so late.”

Camille smiled, "I'm not going out; I'll be in the security office. It's safe.”But Ayan insisted, "I still want to accompany you. I won't disturb yourconversation.”

Camille didn't refuse this time, and they went together in the elevator.As they held hands, Ayan asked in a soft voice, "Are you close with thiscolleague from the project? How come she's coming to see you solate?"

"We're just like regular friends. Summer is lively and cheerful. Shetalked to me after work before, asking about the things that appearedonline today. But since I didn't know anything, I just turned her down.Now she's coming to see me again, and I'm not sure if it's related towhat happened during the day."

Camille didn't think it was likely, as Summer didn't seem like the type ofperson who would insist on pushing further after being turned down.When they arrived at the security office, Ayan let go of Camille's hand.“I'll wait here. You go in."

"Okay, thanks." Camille smiled and patted Ayan's shoulder inreassurance.

Camille entered the security office, and Summer was sitting on thesofa, waiting. The two security staff inside stood up politely when theysaw Camille. "Mrs. Simpson.”

Camille nodded, thanking them before they voluntarily left the office,leaving Camille and Summer alone.

After they were alone, Camille sat down next to Summer and asked, "Iseverything alright for you to come here so late?"

Summer was holding a glass of water that the security staff had pouredfor her. She looked serious, and her face was a little pale. She said, "Ihave something to talk to you about, that's why I came so late."

"Okay, go ahead.”

“Is this place safe?"

"Of course, you can speak freely here.”

Camille reassured her.

Summer then lowered her guard and gazed at Camille. "Miss Camille,do you know Mr. Walker? Do you know who he is?"

When Summer mentioned Mr. Walker, Camille's expressionimmediately turned cold.

She furrowed her brows, fixing her gaze on Summer, and asked, "Mr.Walker? Where did you hear that name? Do you know this person?"Summer shook her head, "I don't know him, but Quintus seems to knowhim. After work today, I was about to call a cab to go home, but Ioverheard Quintus on the phone. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but whathe was saying made me curious.”

Summer then told Camille what she had overheard.

She was still feeling a bit astonished as she recounted it. Apart fromastonishment, there was also an indescribable sense of panic. It madeher feel like she had heard something she shouldn't have.

Summer continued, "Miss Camille, you know I like Mr. Evans. I don'twant anyone to harm him, but I don't have much confidence right now. Idon't know what Quintus meant with those words. Among the people onthis project, I trust you the most. I'm not saying this to flatter youbecause you're Mr. Simpson's wife; it's sincere. I'm friendly with othercolleagues, but I don't know how to say these things to them. However,with you, I can be completely open about it."

Summer's eyes were filled with pure honesty, and she held nothingback. She clearly explained her thoughts and feelings to Camille.Though she could be a bit proud at times, she knew when to beserious, especially when it came to important matters. She knew whomto talk to and whom to keep silent with.

She looked at Camille and said, "Miss Camille, could you help mecheck if Quintus plans to do something harmful to Mr. Evans under theinfluence of that Mr. Walker?"

Camille remained silent throughout Summer's explanation. Shefrowned slightly, looking somewhat stunned. She met Summer's gazeand spoke in a calm tone, "I understand what you're saying. Don'tworry, since you trust me and have shared this with me, I won't bring itup with anyone else. But the information you mentioned, we can'tconfirm what exactly Quintus said to that person. If you're worried thatQuintus might harm Mr. Evans, we can anonymously warn Mr. Evans. Ifyou're not comfortable doing it, I can help you."

“Your suggestion makes sense. We can send an anonymous warning.Thank you for being willing to help. This way, Mr. Evans can beprepared early.” Summer agreed with Camille's proposal. However, shestill felt uneasy. "Does Quintus's talk with Mr. Walker mean that there'ssomething related to Mr. Walker in the current public opinion that isunfavorable for him?"

Camille's expression remained calm as she said, "Well, don't ask anyfurther. I can't answer your questions. The police will investigate thematter thoroughly. What you've told me tonight, don't mention it toanyone else. Pretend you didn't hear anything and don't keep seekinganswers. Understand?"

Camille carefully reminded and cautioned Summer. Though she knewsome things about the situation, she couldn't disclose the whole truth toher because the more she knew, the more dangerous it could be.Especially after what happened to Louise, Camille didn't want to seeanother person getting into trouble.

So, pretending to know nothing was the best way to avoid anyunexpected situations.

Camille's serious tone surprised Summer, and she looked at Camillewith some confusion. “Miss Camille, why?" she asked.

Camille replied, "Because some things can bring danger to you."Summer froze momentarily at Camille's words, but she quickly noddedand said, "Okay, I understand your point. Don't worry, I won't mentionthis matter to anyone again."

"Good, as long as you understand. It's late now; let me have someonetake you home. Remember, if anyone asks where you were tonight, justtell them you came to discuss the project's drawings with me. If anyonethreatens you, tell them you plan to resign and join my company, butyou don't want your current company to know about it, so you've beendiscreet. Got it?"

Camille provided Summer with all the possible explanations andexcuses that could happen or not happen.

Summer looked gratefully at Camille and then walked out with her.Ayan was waiting outside the office. When he saw the two of themcome out, he raised his gaze to look at them.

When Summer noticed Ayan, she respectfully greeted him, "Mr.Simpson."

Ayan simply nodded, and Camille said, “Call the driver and have himtake Summer home."

Ayan nodded and immediately contacted the driver. In about tenminutes, the driver arrived, and Summer left with him.

Camille and Ayan returned home. Camille looked at Ayan and askeddirectly, “Is Jenson your man?"
