Chapter 978: Rest Assured

This immediately made Sienna look visibly dejected, and she askedsoftly, "Are you really kicking me out like this?"

"Oh, don't try to act with me. Go on, I have a lot to do."

"What are you going to do?"

“I have some matters to attend to. Mrs. Bell is planning to come over,probably to talk to me about what happened online today.”

Camille didn't hide anything and explained it directly to Sienna. Sienna,after hearing this, didn't insist on staying any longer. Instead, she saidto Camille, "Alright, I understand. If you need anything, just give me acall. If I don't hear from you by nine, I'll come over."

Camille nodded, "Okay, okay."

After seeing Sienna off, Mrs. Bell hadn't arrived yet. Camille sat on thesofa, staring at her phone in a daze.

She had been closely following the developments online. After theconversation between Mr. Bell and Ayan that had been posted online,as of now, Ayan had not responded, and it was already past seven.What was he thinking?

Of course, Camille was well aware that Ayan couldn't have said thosethings. The audio on that end had been manipulated. Nevertheless, ifhe continued to remain silent, it would lead to significant trouble, andCamille was somewhat helpless about the situation.

Camille sighed softly, realizing that the situation was beyond hercontrol. She picked up her phone and checked online updates. Besidesthe audio clip from earlier in the afternoon, there was no other news.However, this was enough to keep the story's momentum going.

So, who was behind all of this?

During the conversation between Ayan, Mr. Bell, and Kian, there wereonly the three of them present. Ayan and Kian could be ruled out as theculprits. What about Mr. Bell? Did he plan this from the beginning?

Mr. Bell had immediately contacted Ayan upon seeing the messages.He had explained that he was still on his way back to the hotel and hadno prior knowledge of the situation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have beenaware of it.

Ayan's response had been rather cold, "This may not be your doing,but it directly involves you. After all, you and I are the parties involved,aren't we?"

"Ayan, I understand that I may appear to have a motive to besuspected, but I want to assure you it wasn't me. I would never do sucha thing."

Despite Mr. Bell's repeated denials, Ayan's reaction seemed indifferent.His expression remained cold, and there was a hint of frostiness in hisvoice as he said, "No need to rush with explanations. We'll replace outwho's responsible in the end.”

Ayan didn't have time for further discussion and ended the call with Mr.Bell. He tossed his phone onto his desk, his face tense and extremelyunpleasant.

Kian's expression also tightened, and he asked in a low tone, "Mr.Simpson, do you think this is related to Mr. Bell?"

"Even if it's not directly related, these conversations were leaked fromhis end.” Given that the location was Simpson Group, there were veryfew chances for anyone other than Kian to enter his office easily.

Kian nodded slightly, then asked, "Should I investigate this further?"“No need. Just wait. This isn't over yet." Ayan seemed to haveexpected this turn of events. His face became even colder as thesituation had now escalated. It appeared that the mastermind behind allof this wanted to firmly pin all the blame on Simpson Group. Only thenwould Simpson Group become truly incensed, and this project wouldtruly become profit-oriented.

So, who stood to gain the most from this situation?

Ayan never spoke without a good reason, so when Kian heard this, heimmediately asked, "There's still an ace up their sleeve. Are they tryingto exploit this situation?"

"Since it's the same issue and it has developed to this extent, wouldn'tadding more fuel to the fire make it even bigger?" Ayan's expressionremained dispassionate, and his voice was devoid of warmth as hespoke.

"Since it's the same issue and has developed to this point, wouldn'tadding fuel to the fire make it even bigger?" Ayan's expression turnedcold, and his voice remained devoid of warmth.

Kian nodded in agreement and then received further instructions fromAyan. "Notify the public relations department to work tonight.”

"Alright, I'll go tell them," Kian replied, leaving the office.

Ayan remained in his office, silently gazing out the window. He hadbeen well-prepared for this situation from the beginning, but the speedat which events were unfolding had caught him off guard. Nevertheless,it didn't affect his confidence in the outcome.

All he needed to do now was wait quietly.

As the afternoon passed, Ayan continued working in his office. He alsomade a phone call to the old Simpson to update them on the situation,assuring them that he would resolve it before morning and clearSimpson Group of any false accusations.

The wait continued without any significant developments until around 8pm. Kian knocked on the door and entered, his expression somewhatserious as he addressed Ayan, "Mr. Simpson, Mrs. Bell has gone to replaceMrs. Simpson.”

Ayan's brow furrowed unconsciously, and his expression remainedlargely unchanged. He spoke in a calm tone, "She's already there?""Yes, just arrived. Our security, who is discreetly protecting Mrs.Simpson, informed us. They mentioned that Mrs. Simpson and MissKing seemed to have reconciled today, as they spent the afternoontogether and had dinner. Mrs. Simpson even saw Miss King off at thedoor."

Ayan nodded slightly, his expression appearing somewhat relieved. IfCamille and Sienna had truly made amends, it would likely improveCamille's mood. Sienna was her best friend, and having a best friendby her side would put his mind at ease.

Ayan didn't provide any further response, and the conversationreturned to the matter of Mrs. Bell's visit to the mansion. He calmlyinstructed, "Keep an eye on them for a maximum of one hour. If shehasn't left by then, have our people enter."

Kian acknowledged and prepared to leave Ayan's office to carry out theorders.

Kian agreed and was about to leave the office when Ayan stopped him."Wait."

Kian turned back. "Yes?"

"Keep our security detail on Mrs. Simpson. If anything happens, ourpeople will take action. I'll contact Sienna."

Kian acknowledged this and exited the office.

Ayan immediately dialed Sienna's phone number. He learned from herthat Mrs. Bell's visit was anticipated and that Camille had arranged atime to send her a message. Ayan felt somewhat relieved knowing thatCamille and Sienna had reconciled; Sienna was Camille's best friend,and her presence could help ease Camille's mood.

Ayan thanked Sienna genuinely, and she replied, "You're welcome. It'ssomething I should do, not for anyone else but for the bond betweenCamille and me."

Ayan assured her, “I understand. You don't need to explain it soclearly."

Sienna realized her tone had been a bit harsh and softened her voiceas she continued, "Mr. Simpson, I didn't mean anything else.”

Ayan responded, “I know."

Sienna hesitated for a moment and then spoke in a more gentle tone."Based on my understanding of Cami, you should give her anexplanation as soon as possible. Once she's past her displeasure, shemight reconsider your relationship. You don't want this incident tocompletely drive a wedge between you two, right?"

Ayan replied, "Of course not!"

"Then handle it well."

“Thank you."

Ayan repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Sienna, something shewasn't entirely accustomed to, but she also found it somewhatsatisfying. After all, it was Ayan, and how often did he thank anyone?Perhaps Camille was the exception.

After finishing the call with Sienna, Ayan's expression grew even moresomber. He was well aware that Sienna’s words were correct, andthanks to her advice, he had made up his mind. However, he couldn'thelp but feel uncertain about his decision. Could Camille truly let go ofthe lingering discontent in her heart?
