Chapter 994: Mistreatment
He inquired about Camille's opinion and respected her choice.
Camille thought for a moment, then looked at Ayan and said, "I'll go inby myself first. After I received the call, I also tried to contact Grace, butshe didn't respond, so I don't know what's going on. If you go in withme, I'm afraid they might feel uncomfortable speaking freely.”
Ayan nodded in understanding and said, "Alright, you go in first. If youhaven't come out in half an hour, I'll come in, okay?"
Camille nodded, then pushed the door open and went inside.
Although Ayan accompanied Camille here, he chose to respect herwish to enter alone.
Ayan sat in the car, watching Camille enter the house. Inside theArmstrong family mansion, when Camille entered the living room, aconversation was underway. When the servants informed them ofCamille's arrival, the conversation came to a halt.
All eyes turned towards Camille as she entered. Besides Brody, Page,and Grace, there were two other men and women on the sofa. Fromtheir appearance, they seemed to be of a similar age to Brody andPage.
Camille paused and looked at everyone. Her gaze naturally landed onGrace, who hadn't answered her call. Grace's complexion looked a bitunpleasant, and her eyes seemed to be filled with a mixture ofembarrassment and helplessness.
Grace immediately got up and started to move towards Camille but waspulled back by Page, who pressed her back into her seat. Page's eyesshot a warning at Grace before she put on a faint smile and said toCamille, "Cami, you're back. Come and have a seat. We've beenwaiting for you for quite a while."
She hurriedly introduced the two men and women sitting on the sofa,"Mr. Wesley, Mrs. Wesley, this is my youngest daughter, Camille. She'sbeen busy with work, so she usually lives outside."
Camille's face remained impassive as she looked at this situation. Hergaze shifted to the man and woman introduced as Mr. Wesley and Mrs.Wesley. She didn't quite understand the current situation, so shesubconsciously furrowed her brow.
Page had already gotten up and was walking towards her. Sheaffectionately took Camille's hand and walked her over. "Cami, come sitand chat. Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley have been waiting for you for along time. Come and greet them."
Camille stared blankly for a moment and then looked at Page's face.Her voice was indifferent as she asked, "Did you call me back here justto exchange greetings?"
Page's and Brody's faces instantly darkened, but they didn't care thatthere were outsiders present. Page immediately criticized Camillesternly, "What's your attitude right now? Don't think that because youhave a small company, you can speak to your parents like this. Youmay be divorced, and although you don't have to take care of the child,it's still your second marriage. Your father and I went through a lot oftrouble to replace the Wesley family for you. Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesleydon't mind, so you better behave properly. Apologize to Mr. Wesley andMrs. Wesley right now.”
"Second marriage? Finding the Wesley family? So, are you planning toset me up for a blind date?"
“It's not a blind date. We've already talked to Mr. Wesley and Mrs.Wesley. You're marrying into the Wesley family." Page's tone remainedstern, and she was determined to show her attitude and authority infront of outsiders. She said, "Apologize now."
Camille didn't make any move to apologize. In fact, it was impossiblefor her to apologize. She simply looked at Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley,who seemed to be waiting for her apology. They appeared proud andsuperior.
Camille sat down as Page guided her to the seats opposite Mr. Wesleyand Mrs. Wesley. Then, she asked with indifference, "You're not fromHance, are you?"
Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley exchanged a glance before Mrs. Wesleyresponded, "We're from Chesen. After you marry into the Wesleyfamily, you'll move to Chesen City. You can leave your company to yourparents. The Wesley family will take care of your needs. Your mainresponsibility will be to take care of your husband, my son, who is theeldest son of the Wesley family."
Camille smirked, "No wonder."
It made sense. Who from Hance would dare to even think of such athing? Everyone in Hance knew about her relationship with Ayan.Camille raised an eyebrow and looked at Brody and Page. She asked,"So, is this what you both want, or did you contact them behind myback?"
"What do you mean “contacted them behind your back'?" Brody wasparticularly unhappy. He said, "We're doing this for your own good.Now that you're divorced, do you want to get back together with him?"Camille smiled faintly and replied, "Yes, it's true that I'm divorced."That was a fact; she was indeed divorced.
But what did that have to do with the Armstrong family?
Camille asked, "So, just because I'm divorced, you're eager to marryme off again?"
Grace chimed in quickly, "Dad, Mom, I've said it before. You can'tpressure Cami like this. She has a good relationship with Mr. Simpson,even if they're divorced. Why do you always do this?"
"Shut up. This is not the place for you to speak.” Brody shouted angrily,his gaze sharp and cold. He waited for Camille to comply and said,"We're your parents, and you must follow our arrangements. Thismatter is settled. Pack your things and go with the Wesley family in thenext two days."
Camille furrowed her brow. "Just like that, you want me to leave? Isn'tthis like an arranged marriage? Why do I feel like I'm being hired as ananny?" Camille sneered and then turned to the two members of theWesley family. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "The eldest son ofthe Wesley family? Doesn't the eldest son have a wedding ceremony?"The expressions of Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley instantly soured, andthey looked somewhat uncomfortable.
Camille noticed the same expression on both of their faces, and herbrow furrowed even more tightly. She had a vague sense thatsomething was amiss.
In normal circumstances, isn't a wedding supposed to be a joyousoccasion?
Why weren't they more cheerful about it?
Page quickly tried to ease the tension, "The wedding can wait. It can beheld whenever you want. Besides, you're already divorced. Why do youdemand so much? The Wesley family has taken an interest in you, andyou should be grateful.”
Afterward, Page immediately looked at Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley,expressing her apologies. "She's a bit naive. Please don't take it toheart. When she enters the Wesley family, please teach her well. We,as parents, will fully support you."
Mrs. Wesley's complexion softened slightly, and her gaze towardsCamille now held a hint of a smile. She said, "You won't miss out on thewedding. But our son Derrick is not currently in the best condition. Hishealth isn't great. We'll hold the wedding for you two after he's fullyrecovered. As long as you take good care of him, we won't mistreatyou."
Camille didn't speak and was pondering the meaning behind thesewords.
Grace became increasingly agitated and said, "Mom, why are youdoing this? You know very well that the Wesley family's son is in avegetative state. They just want to secure a child for Wesley family'sfuture. Why are you forcing Cami into this? It's like pushing her into apit of fire."
"Cami, please leave. Don't come back. I can't contact you. Mom hasmy phone. You should go now and not stay here,” Grace pleaded,rising from the sofa and attempting to take Camille out despite Page'sobstruction.
But Page immediately intervened when she saw what was happening.She said, "Grace, there are guests here. You shouldn't be so rude. Yourbehavior is causing distress to your mom."
Frustrated, Grace retorted, "Mom, it's you who's causing us distress.Why do you always do this? Cami and Mr. Simpson may be divorced,but you know very well how Mr. Simpson treats Cami now, don't you?""Go upstairs!" Brody shouted, giving a command. Grace, of course,refused. Brody signaled to a nearby servant with a look and said, "TakeMiss Grace upstairs. She's not allowed to come down without mypermission.”
"Dad!" Grace shouted loudly, but Brody paid her no further attention.With no other option, Grace could only look at Camille, hoping thatCamille would leave this place as soon as possible.
Camille didn't move. She looked at Grace with a gentle expression andsaid with a faint smile, "I'll be fine."
Then, she turned her gaze towards Brody and Page, her smile fadingentirely. She coldly questioned them, "Do you really dare to marry meoff to someone else behind the back of the Simpson family?"
