My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 968: Consequences

Chapter 968: Consequences

She kept pleading with Ayan to spare her, and she adamantly deniedany involvement in informing Camille about his secret. She not onlydenied it but also pretended not to understand.

Ayan stood up, his gaze icy as he fixed it on her. "Whether yougenuinely don't know or pretend not to understand, in my eyes, you'reresponsible for this. Therefore, you will face the consequences.”

Cora started to panic, retreating until her back was against the door.She looked at Ayan, shaking her head desperately. "Ayan, please,spare me this time, okay? I'm begging you, spare me!"

Ayan had no sympathy for her. He coldly stated, “I've given youcountless chances from the beginning. Do you think your mental statewas caused by me or instigated by my family? But you took theSimpson family's money. You could have refused, and you could havechosen to confess everything to me. But you didn't make that choice.Since you chose money over leaving me, you should bear theconsequences. Or, you can use my guilt towards you to get a sum ofmoney and secure a lifetime of comfort, but you shouldn't haverepeatedly crossed my boundaries and harmed the most importantwoman in my life."

Ayan was genuinely angry now. The thought of Camille's cold gazebecause of this situation left him feeling helpless. He didn't know whatto do.

He had plenty of ways to resolve other matters, but when it came toCamille, he felt utterly powerless.

He inhaled silently, staring at Cora with a chilling voice, "If you don'twant to go to a mental hospital, then go to jail. I have all the evidence ofyour kidnapping Timmy and harming my grandfather. With myinfluence, I can ensure you spend a lifetime behind bars."

Cora, losing control, seemed like a madwoman. After her outburst, herboldness grew, and she took a few steps forward. She looked at Ayanand questioned him, "Are you trying to force me to death? Why won'tyou give me a way out? Why do you choose Camille over me? Wewere a couple in the beginning, but it was the Simpson family thatseparated us. They intentionally drove me away. Why won't you giveme a chance? Just say yes, and we can start over. None of this wouldhave happened. Don't you feel guilty towards me? It's the Simpsonfamily's fault in the first place. If it weren't for your family, if it weren't foryour grandfather and your parents, we would be together, not you andCamille. Camille stole you, and she stole everything that rightfullybelonged to me!"

Facing Cora's words, Ayan remained unmoved, but he couldn't shakeoff the growing unease. She had completely lost her sense of reasonand perspective, consumed by obsession. Keeping her around meantthe risk of her resurfacing and causing trouble all over again. In thatcase, it might be better for him to be a real bad man to her.

Ayan didn't waste any more words on her; he simply said, "You're trulyinsane.”

Because of their mismatched status and some of her actions that hadupset the Simpson family, she hadn't passed the Simpson family's test.If her feelings for him were genuinely pure, even if the Simpson familytested her, she wouldn't have been fooled. So, everything that hadhappened was now her own responsibility.

Ayan glanced at Cora coldly and then walked directly towards her. Coraimmediately tried to avoid him, thinking Ayan was going to harm herphysically. However, Ayan had no intention of laying a hand on awoman.

Ayan opened the door and walked out, with Cora following him. But shewas intercepted by the bodyguards stationed outside.

Cora shouted frantically, “Come back! What do you mean by this,Ayan? I've ended up like this because of you, and you can't just blameme for everything. In the end, it's your responsibility too. If it weren't foryou, I wouldn't be in this situation.”

Ayan didn't pause, continuing down the hallway and eventuallydescending the stairs.

Kian followed him and stopped by Cora's side, his gaze cold as helooked at her. He said, "Miss Hayes, if I were you, I wouldn't keeppestering someone I've lost. You married Austin, and despite thedifferent circumstances, both of you dug your own graves. Now,everything that has happened is a result of your own choices, notsomeone else's. Everyone has to pay the price for their actions,including minors, let alone you, an adult!"

Without waiting for Cora's response, Kian instructed the bodyguards totake Cora downstairs.

To prevent Cora from struggling or making a scene, they covered hermouth, led her downstairs, and placed her in a waiting car.

During this, she never had a chance to see Ayan again. The increasingsense of oppression made her fear deep inside even heavier. She evenbegan to regret that she shouldn't have called Camille withoutconsidering the consequences, telling Camille that Ayan hadn't actuallydivorced her. She could have told Ayan about it and asked him formoney to go abroad or live in another city. She didn't need to end uplike this.

Cora's fear deepened, and she wanted to see Ayan, but Ayan wouldn'tsee her again.

The motel owner was extremely nervous and flustered by the suddenturn of events. Kian calmly advised, "You better act like nothinghappened today, especially with her staying here. Pack up all herbelongings immediately, leaving no traces that she ever stayed at yourestablishment.”

Kian handed a bank card to the hotel owner and added, "Cooperationcan be mutually beneficial, but betrayal will have consequences for youalone.”

The hotel owner nodded vigorously, "I understand, I understand, I knowwhat to do. Kian, you can rest assured.”

The motel owner readily accepted the benefits, sealing his lips. No onewould be able to pry them open.

After leaving the motel, Kian headed straight for the parking spot whereAyan was already waiting in the car. He quickly opened the door andgot in.

Looking at Ayan, he said, "Mr. Simpson, I'll take you back first, and thenI'll personally go to the police station to submit all the evidence we haveto Logan and ask for his assistance?"

"Okay," Ayan replied without saying much, his gaze drifting out thewindow.

After a few minutes of driving, a cold and distant voice suddenly brokethe silence inside the car, "Take me back to Maple Leaves Mansion."Kian nodded without asking further questions and drove them back.After dropping Ayan off at Maple Leaves Mansion, Ayan remained inthe car and said in a calm tone, "You'll continue to handle this case atthe police station, but for now, don't make it public. It's not the right timefor Preston to replace out."

Kian nodded in understanding. He then checked his phone for the timeand informed Ayan of a recent message he had received. "Mr.Simpson, two gossip media outlets contacted me. They claim to haveinformation related to our company that could harm its reputation.They're asking if we want to buy the information."

Ayan snorted lightly and said coldly, “They're trying to try this onSimpson Group? Then ask them if they're prepared to bear theconsequences of revealing it."
