Chapter 1005: Auditory Illusion

“I'm worried that she's been pushed to a point where she has no otheroption by the Armstrong family. Can you check where she is now? Justmake sure she's safe. I won't get involved in anything else,” Camilleexplained seriously.

Ayan looked at her deeply and nodded, saying, "Alright."

Ayan immediately called Kian, and Kian's investigation was quite swift,as it wasn't a particularly challenging task. Within a few minutes, hehad the results.

Kian said that Grace had moved to Maple Leaves Mansion, and shewas living in the same building as Horace. The Armstrong family wasalso searching for her, but they hadn't found any leads.

Camille was slightly surprised by this information. She then turned toAyan and said, "Let's not let the Armstrong family replace her. If she's safenow, that's all that matters.”

Although Camille didn't have a deep relationship with Grace, it hadthawed somewhat between them, and she couldn't just stand by ifsomething was wrong.

She had always felt that Grace was too obedient, lacking her ownopinions. Everything she did seemed to be in line with what Brody andPage wanted. It didn't seem right.

Now that Grace had taken the first step on her own, Camille's role wasto lend her a helping hand.

Ayan understood Camille's concern and immediately gave instructionsto Kian.

Ayan looked at Camille and asked, "Are you worried about her?"

“I'm not worried anymore. She's with Horace, so it should be okay.Otherwise, Horace wouldn't have helped her escape from theArmstrong family,” Camille replied calmly.

Although Grace wasn't a child anymore, if Horace wasn't worth her trustand taking this step, she wouldn't have done it. Now that she hadchosen this path, it meant that Horace was probably treating her well.Camille sighed silently, her emotions a bit low as she said, "Does theArmstrong family have to go to such lengths? They can ignore me, butdo they have to treat Grace this way?"

She couldn't understand what Brody and Page were thinking or whythey had to do things this way.

Ayan's gaze was gentle as he spoke softly, “There's no need tooverthink what others are thinking or why they do that. We only need tofocus on ourselves, have a clear conscience, and follow our ownhearts. As for the rest, let it unfold naturally.”

Camille nodded gently, her expression still a bit downcast. She replied,"Actually, I don't necessarily need to know their motives. I just feel thatwhat they're doing is too hurtful. When they've completely hurt others,how will they justify it?"

"That's their business. We don't need to worry. Just remember, even ifin the future, you choose to ignore the Armstrong family, no one canblame you for it. Understand?" Ayan's gaze was firm as he looked atCamille, his words and his eyes making it clear that Camille had donenothing wrong.

Camille nodded, her attitude changing a lot because of Ayan. He hadfilled in many of her inner vulnerabilities, allowing her to stand tall andsay no to anyone.

In the past, Camille often had rebellious thoughts but rarely expressedthem. She struggled with replaceing the right words and worried aboutwhether the other person would accept her views.

However, Ayan taught her an important lesson: that as long as shebelieved in what she was saying or doing, it was valid. He emphasizedthe idea that everyone should first be true to themselves beforeconsidering the opinions of others.

However, the Armstrong family's matter was far from over. Gracecouldn't be reached, and without Camille's presence, the dinner withthe Wesley family lost its purpose. It was already past nine in theevening, but tension still hung heavily over the Armstrong family.Brody paced back and forth in the living room, his entire demeanorexuding cold anger. He glared at Page, who was sitting on the sofa,and sternly questioned her, "What's the use of crying? When somethinggoes wrong, all you do is cry. Shouldn't we be replaceing a solution? TheWesley family is waiting for us to bring Camille over. We thought Gracewould be sensible and help us, but look what's happened. She's gonemissing. Is this the result of your upbringing? How did you raise her?"Brody's questioning left Page speechless. While they were usually acourteous couple, when something went wrong, Brody wouldimmediately get angry, and Page seldom dared to argue back.

The household staff also followed suit, maintaining silence and trying tominimize their presence in such situations.

Brody's accusations created a heavy atmosphere in the living room,and Page observed the situation for a while. She then cautiouslysuggested, "Grace must have been influenced by someone. Haven'tyou forgotten how obedient she usually is? I suspect Camille mighthave manipulated her behind the scenes. Shouldn't we visit Camille'sresidence? Grace might be staying with Camille.”

Brody's sharp gaze turned towards Page, filled with displeasure. After abrief pause, he said in a calm tone, "If that's the case, what are youwaiting for?"

Page quickly got up and left the house.

Unaware that Camille had moved to Franklin Bay, Page assumedCamille was still living at Maple Leaves Mansion and drove theredirectly.

Upon arriving at Maple Leaves Mansion, she couldn't enter as shewasn't a resident. Page had to identify herself as Camille's mother tothe security personnel.

However, they informed her, "Mrs. Simpson hasn't been living here fora long time. Maybe you should give her a call?"

Camille had already blocked Page's number, so calling her directly wasnot an option. Page maintained a polite smile on her face but couldn'thelp but feel skeptical about Camille's absence. She thought it waslikely that Camille had instructed the security not to let her in.

Page continued to inquire, "So, you don't know where she lives now?You must have some information about her whereabouts, right?"

The security personnel were surprised by Page's persistence. Theycouldn't believe that a mother wouldn't know where her daughter lived.It seemed as if their relationship was quite distant.

Despite Page's repeated questions, the security staff gave the sameresponse, and she became increasingly convinced that Camille hadmade prior arrangements. She decided not to press further andreturned to her car, waiting anxiously, convinced that she wouldn'tleave without seeing Camille.

However, Camille wasn't living at the mansion anymore, so shewouldn't show up.

Nevertheless, Page might not see Camille, but she could run intoothers.

Indeed, within a short half-hour, Page spotted Horace returning from awalk, carrying a bag of groceries.

When Page called out to him, Horace experienced a brief moment ofdisbelief, wondering if he had made a mistake.

He instinctively turned around and saw Page getting out of her car.Horace confirmed that it was indeed Page.

His expression remained composed, and his gaze was cool. He said,"Mrs. Armstrong, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"Page quickly approached Horace and asked in a soft voice, "Does Mr.Burris also live here?"

Horace nodded faintly, showing no strong emotions. His eyes remainedwarm and calm. He replied, "Mrs. Armstrong, why would you be here?Is there something wrong?"

Page smiled and explained, “I came to visit Camille. You know howbusy she usually is and how rarely she comes home. As a mother, Iworry about my daughter. However, she's been busy and hasn'tanswered my calls. I couldn't get inside, so could Mr. Burris take mein?"

Horace didn't immediately agree to Page's request. Instead, he calmlyresponded, "As far as I know, Miss Camille doesn't live here anymore.Isn't that right, Mrs. Armstrong?"

Page was taken aback for a moment, her displeasure evident on herface. She quickly asked, "You're saying she doesn't live here anymore?Where did she go?"
