Crystal had no choice. If anything happened to her parents and grandfather, the Bill family would probably collapse.
Although the Bill family had been prosperous for many years, after her grandfather stepped down from leading the family, the Bills were truly struggling.
Crystal’s grandfather had also endured a lot. Crystal knew very well that Camille’s return would definitely benefit the Bill family. It was because of the current situation of the Bill family that the Bills persisted in wanting to recognize Camille.
In the past, Crystal would have agreed to her family’s decision.
However, after getting to know Camille and understanding her character, Crystal knew how good she was and how much she had suffered. Everything she had achieved was through her own efforts and sacrifices. It wouldn’t be fair to tell Camille the truth at this point.
But now, Crystal had no other choice. She couldn’t change everything. The only thing she could do was minimize the damage and accompany Camille in doing what she wanted to do.
After Camille fully understood the Bill family, no matter what she ultimately decided, Crystal would respect her choice.
However, she hoped that Ayan could spare her parents and grandfather considering her friendship with Camille.
Although this request might be difficult for Ayan, she really had no other options.
After Crystal finished speaking, Ayan remained silent for a while. He naturally wouldn’t give a direct answer as everything was still uncertain. No one knew what would happen tomorrow. If these people ended up harming Camille…
Ayan calmly said, “I can only tell you that if they don’t cross my bottom line and haven’t harmed Camille, I won’t retaliate against anyone from the Bill family.”
His meaning was clear.
Crystal didn’t continue to say anything. She knew Ayan’s temperament to some extent.
She simply responded, “Thank you, Mr. Simpson.”
After giving some brief instructions about Camille going to Flento City tomorrow, Ayan ended the call.
That night, many people couldn’t sleep.
Sienna and Rex didn’t sleep well either because of Mario’s sudden departure from Hance City to Flento City. Sienna was restless, her mind in turmoil. Her sleep patterns had already changed since she got pregnant, and she hadn’t been sleeping well lately, especially tonight.
She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Rex’s mood also became somewhat low because of her.
Rex asked, “Is something bothering you?”
Sienna shook her head and said, “No.”
Rex furrowed his brows and asked, “Then why aren’t you sleeping?”
“Mario is going back to Flento City. I feel something off. He keeps things to himself and doesn’t tell anyone the truth, so I’m worried.”
Rex hugged her gently and comforted her in a low voice, “Don’t overthink it. It has nothing to do with us why he left Hance City. If you’re really curious about it, I’ll personally ask him tomorrow.”
Sienna pushed him lightly with her hand and said softly, “I’m not overthinking it. I just feel it’s fishy. I want to understand why he left because it’s making me anxious.”
“Isn’t it better if he leaves? With him gone, we won’t see him as often, which is good for all of us. I’m worried when he keeps watching you.”
Rex snorted lightly and kissed Sienna’s forehead with a hint of displeasure and anger towards Mario in his expression.
Sienna chuckled at his actions. She said softly, “I’m not saying it’s bad that he left. I’m just genuinely curious. I just want to know why he left.”
“I’ll have someone inquire in Flento City.”
“Okay, I’ll feel more at ease when I know.”
Now that she was pregnant, she didn’t want to focus on these matters too much as it wasn’t good for her overall well-being.
Rex didn’t press further on her thoughts but simply wanted to know whether Mario’s return to Flento City was truly for work or if there were other reasons behind it…
…
The next day, Camille flew to Flento City early in the morning.
Ayan personally accompanied her to the airport while Kian came to see Yessica off. The two men stood at the entrance watching as the two women walked through security before turning back and getting into the car together.
After handing the car keys over to the chauffeur, Kian drove Ayan back to Simpson Group.
Ayan casually instructed, “You’ll be flying to Flento City this afternoon.”
“I’m going to Flento City this afternoon?” Kian couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
“Yes, I still don’t trust the Bill family completely. Camille’s sudden business trip to Flento City is too unexpected.”
Camille used to go on business trips before, but it had been a long time since then. How coincidental that she chose now to go to Flento City?
Although Bluesky Properties did respond accordingly and confirmed that there was indeed such a matter, Camille was capable enough to make others lie for her sake.
So Ayan wanted Kian to investigate and find out the truth. If he hadn’t tied up with work, Ayan would have gone himself.
Facing Ayan’s arrangement, Kian naturally didn’t refuse at all. He just asked softly, “Mr. Simpson, should my trip to Flento City be kept confidential?”
“Yes, don’t even let Yessica know.”
“I understand.”
Kian nodded slightly and immediately booked his flight ticket before departing for Flento City in the afternoon.
Leaning back in his chair, Ayan felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
Back at Simpson Group, he began another day of work.
Lately, Kerry had been overseeing the collaboration project with Tillery’s Corporation, so his communication with Ayan was naturally quite frequent. Around nine o’clock in the morning, Kerry brought Angel over to Simpson Group.
Kerry said to Ayan, “Mr. Simpson, Angel and I are planning on getting engaged. We’re arranging our engagement ceremony in Hance City where Mr. Tillery will secretly come over. So I wanted Mr. Simpson to help us with some arrangements.”
“I’ll have Kian communicate with you about this matter but he’s representing me on business right now. Once he returns in a couple of days, I’ll have him contact you,” Ayan replied casually.
Kerry agreed and smiled at Angel, saying, “Then Mr. Simpson will take care of being our officiant.”
Ayan squinted his eyes slightly as he looked at Kerry and Angel calmly. He didn’t have any objections and simply nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Angel went off with someone from the project department to discuss work matters while only Kerry and Ayan remained in the office.
Ayan didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked, “Kerry, have you completely let go of Daisy?”
