My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 996: Awful

Chapter 996: Awful

Ayan couldn't help but chuckle at his own words, a smile briefly gracinghis face. However, the smile carried a chilling undertone, sendingshivers down everyone's spine in the room.

No one dared to speak as this matter couldn't be simply brushed aside,especially now that Ayan had heard it. He couldn't pretend he hadn't.His icy gaze fell upon Camille as he softened his expression, speakingin a low voice, "So, what did they just say to you? That they intend tomarry you off to someone else?"

Camille met Ayan's eyes with an expressionless face, her gaze equallycold. She parted her lips to speak but was preempted by Page.

Page interjected, "Ayan, you misunderstood. It's nothing."

She reached out and pulled Camille aside, whispering, "Cami, whydon't you take Ayan upstairs for a tour around?"

Camille didn't budge. She had no intention of following Page'ssuggestion. Instead, she asked dispassionately, "Why would I take himupstairs this late? Are you planning to have both of us stay here? Aren'tyou afraid Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley might misunderstand?"Camille cast a fleeting, cold glance at Page before turning her attentionback to Ayan, saying, "Exactly. They intend to introduce me to theWesley family from Chesen. Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley even camehere, planning for me to pack up and leave with them in the next fewdays!"

Camille had always been someone who preferred not to complain,even if she had to bear injustices. Especially when dealing with theArmstrong family, she had already done everything she was supposedto. But the continued coldness and heartlessness she faced from themin return were becoming unbearable and disgusting.

The thought that they were introducing her to someone else behind herback, even though she was divorced from Ayan, and that they werefully aware of the existence of Timmy, was something she couldn'taccept.

No, she didn't believe it.

Of course, they knew.

It was simple enough to replace out if they wanted to, not some deepsecret that couldn't be uncovered.

Camille took a silent deep breath, growing increasingly infuriated byBrody and Page's behavior. She cast an icy, unfamiliar look at Pageand said, "If you really think I'm profiting from carrying the Armstrongfamily's name, I can change it. If that's not enough, you can cut tieswith me. But can't you stop demeaning me like this repeatedly?"Camille finished speaking with an emotionless expression and turned toAyan, saying, "Let's go."

Ayan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his expression cold. He didn't movebut instead reached back to clasp Camille's hand, addressing Brody ina chilly tone, "So, is this the intention of the entire Armstrong family? Tomarry my woman off to someone else? You dare to think this way. Whogave you the right and the audacity?"

Ayan's questioning left Brody and Page stunned.

But now that Ayan and Camille were divorced, and with Mr. Wesley andMrs. Wesley present, Brody felt a bit more assertive, as if he had someother support, and that he could disregard Ayan.

Brody replied, "Ayan, you and Cami are already divorced. Even if youhave a child between you, it's still necessary to maintain somedistance. Besides, how we arrange things is a matter for the Armstrongfamily. It's better if you don't interfere.”

"Hmph! The Armstrong family's matter?" Ayan snorted coldly. Hecontinued in an indifferent tone, "Do you even treat her as part of theArmstrong family?"

Brody's face grew stiffer, and Page jumped in, saying, "Ayan, what doyou mean by that? Did she tell you something? The Armstrong familyhas done everything for her. If not for us, could she have married intothe Simpson family? Right now, we just want what's best for her."

Page then proceeded to scold Camille for lacking gratitude.

The Wesley family was still struggling to grasp the full context of theconversation, but the one thing they understood was Ayan's identity asCamille's ex-husband.

However, seeing Camille display such intimate behavior with her formerhusband after their divorce was something Mrs. Wesley couldn'taccept. She interrupted the argument, saying, "Mr. Armstrong, Mrs.Armstrong, we had an agreement. Her personal life must be clean.Although Derrick Wesley is currently ill, the doctor said he could wakeup at any moment. We don't want to be taken advantage of!"

Brody quickly reassured, "Don't worry, we won't go back on our word."Brody had completely dismissed the idea of Camille marrying into theWesley family, even with Ayan present.

Ayan, from the conversation, had gathered some hints about what washappening. He raised an eyebrow, his voice icy as he said, "Camille ismy woman. Regardless of whether we're divorced, she's still my wife.Anyone who dares to take an interest in her should be prepared to facethe consequences. If Mr. Armstrong insists on testing the waters, thengo ahead. We'll see who's bolder.”

Ayan finished speaking, his cold gaze fixed on Brody. As he led Camilleaway, they passed by Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley. Mrs. Wesley triedto block their path, saying, "You've already divorced, you can't take heraway. She belongs to the Wesley family now."

Ayan's deep eyes turned to Mrs. Wesley. “If you don't want to loseeverything, leave Hance City now with your money. Otherwise, you cantry."

Ayan pushed Mrs. Wesley aside and left the Armstrong family estate,hand in hand with Camille.

Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley couldn't accept what had just transpired.They would have to seek explanations and solutions from Brody andPage.

Brody continued to reassure that they would make sure Camillereturned with them to Chesen City. Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley finallyrelented.

After sending Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley away, Page looked at Brody,somewhat bewildered, and asked, "What do we do now? Ayan won't lether go!"

Brody remained silent, his expression calculating and cold. He spoke ina low, hoarse voice, "Camille is under our control now, whether Ayanlikes it or not.”

"What do you mean?"

"We'll just make her marry. Ayan can't do anything about it. Who askedthe Simpson family to stand aloof and refuse to help the Armstrongfamily?" Brody sneered, sinking deeper into his own thoughts.

Page, also growing more calculating, agreed. Their feelings towardCamille weren't deep, so her wishes didn't matter much to them.However, they were unaware that every word they spoke had beenheard, without missing a single one, by Grace.

Grace tightly pursed her lips, her face drained of color. She had neverexpected Brody and Page to say such things.

She suddenly felt a chill down her spine, wondering if she would benext.

The more she thought about it, the more her face darkened with worry.She quietly returned to her room, but with her phone in Page'spossession, she had no way to contact anyone. All she could do waswait for Brody and Page to leave the house.

Camille and Ayan returned to Franklin Bay in silence.

Neither of them said much on the way home, each wearing a complexexpression.

Back at Franklin Bay, they both went upstairs to their bedroom. Camillefinally looked at Ayan, her face a mix of grievances and emotions.Camille whispered, "I never expected them to do this. How could they?How could they?"

Camille's emotions were running high, her face showing a blend ofnumbness and heavy feelings. Her eyes held a profound sadness.Ayan walked over and sat beside her, raising his hand to gently rest onher shoulder. His voice was gentle and soothing as he said, “It's okay.This isn't your fault. It's their choice. We can't control other people'sdecisions, but we can limit our interactions with such people, alright?"Camille looked at Ayan, her eyes questioning, "So, because they don'tlike me, it's okay for them to do anything to me, right?"
