The Tillery family also had their fair share of problems. All eyes were on Tillery’s Corporation, and naturally, they would also scrutinize Mr. Tillery’s every move. Especially now that Angel and Kerry were engaged, it wasn’t good news for Daisy.
In such a situation, how could Daisy possibly provoke her father’s displeasure?
Kian instantly understood his boss’s meaning, saying, “I’ll contact Daisy right away. If Daisy tells Preston about it, I estimate that Preston will immediately return to Hance City. In that case, what about you and Madam?”
“It doesn’t matter. What he has in his hands is useless anyway. Now that Mario has left the project team, this matter will eventually be made public, so even if Preston reveals what Camille gave him, it won’t make any difference. Besides, it’s all fake. No matter the outcome, Preston won’t benefit from it.
As for who would be appointed as the head of the SynergyCon project next, it was currently the most important matter.
After instructing Kian on how to handle Preston’s affairs, Ayan chatted with him about selecting the project leader for the SynergyCon project.
Ayan himself couldn’t personally manage this project. He told Kian, “Contact a professional team in this field for me and be prepared in case no one wants to take up the position.”
“Mr. Simpson, why don’t you communicate directly with Mr. Burris? If Mr. Burris takes charge of this project, it would be beneficial for Armstrong Corp and ensure better security for the project compared to other teams, right?”
“Well, tomorrow I’ll go to Armstrong Corp and have a chat with him.” Ayan had this plan in mind.
It was getting late, so he didn’t continue chatting with Kian.
Back in the bedroom, he realized that the woman on the bed hadn’t been sleeping at all.
Her eyes were wide open. She was intentionally eavesdropping on his conversation.
However, there was a wall and a door separating the balcony from the bedroom, and his voice wasn’t loud either, so Camille couldn’t hear clearly.
At this moment, she looked at Ayan with curiosity in her eyes. Although she didn’t ask him anything, her gaze was filled with many questions.
Ayan felt helpless and asked softly, “Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”
“I was waiting for you!” Camille smiled lightly and then asked casually, “What were you talking about? Why did it take so long?”
It hadn’t been long at all, less than ten minutes.
It was just the quiet of the night that made her feel like Ayan had been on the phone for a long time.
Camille pursed her lips and spoke softly, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Is there something I can’t know?”
Ayan lay down and pulled her into his embrace gently. “We were talking about Preston’s affairs. It seems like he might be coming back to Hance City soon because Daisy is coming back. Preston is desperate and naturally wants someone to support him.”
“Is he that powerful? Daisy doesn’t seem like an easy person to deal with. How come she seems to have no say when she’s with him?” Camille looked up at Ayan and couldn’t help but poke his chin with her finger.
Ayan grabbed her hand to stop her from moving around and whispered, “He probably deceived Daisy.”
“How did he deceive her? Does he have that ability?”
“He used me,” Ayan said calmly and looked down at the woman in his arms. She froze, looking at him incredulously.
Camille understood instantly because she knew Daisy’s personality. She wasn’t just casually talking about it. She had taken practical actions. This woman wasn’t someone to be trifled with, stopping at nothing until she got what she wanted.
Camille sighed, “Did you ask Callum about anything related to Preston?”
“I asked Grandpa, but he doesn’t know this person. It’s probably just Preston acting alone.”
“What about Eileen? We haven’t heard from her for a long time. They are siblings after all. She should know something about Preston’s affairs.”
“Eileen knows nothing about it. She doesn’t even know what Preston is planning. She has been busy filming recently and probably has no contact with Preston. The so-called deep sibling bond is probably just talk,” Ayan smiled indifferently. He wasn’t curious or concerned about the relationship between Preston and Eileen.
He then changed the subject. “What do you think of Horace being the head of the SynergyCon project?”
Camille was slightly taken aback but quickly said with excitement, “That’s a good idea!”
“Do you hold him in high regard?”
“Not really. I just think he’s not bad since we get along with each other. He’s better than others, right?” Camille analyzed the benefits of Horace being in charge of the project. At least working under him meant that the pressure wasn’t as intense as it would be with other team leaders.
Aside from that, Camille had her own selfish reasons.
She said, “I also want Armstrong Corp to improve a little bit. If he becomes the project leader, it might bring some benefits to Armstrong Corp!”
Perhaps other companies would be inclined to collaborate more with Armstrong Corp because of this, Horace being in charge of the SynergyCon project would elevate Armstrong Corp’s status.
Although she knew that she had no connection with the Armstrong family, she still had some expectations for Armstrong Corp and wished Grace well. If the Bill family and the Wyatt family could keep her origin confidential, Camille would never make it public for her entire life.
Since mistakes were made, they might as well maintain these mistakes forever.
As for money and benefits, she didn’t really need them.
Even if she did need them, she already had them.
Ayan was her everything.
Camille didn’t reveal her thoughts but simply expressed a few advantages of Horace being in charge of the project. They continued their detailed discussion on this topic.
Camille said, “You have your own judgment. My words are just a reference. Everything should be based on the project and your own thoughts.”
Ayan nodded to show his understanding.
It was getting late. They didn’t continue their conversation further.
After a night passed by, they left the Simpson’s mansion together on the second day.
Ayan first dropped off Camille at the office before heading to Simpson Group.
Camille hadn’t been there for days. She brought food from Flento City for everyone, and Crystal officially resumed work as well.
Since Mario left the project team, theyhad no leader.
Although no one supervised their work, everyone still carried out their tasks flawlessly.
In the morning, Ayan went to Armstrong Corp.
Horace was in a meeting at that time and was unaware of his arrival.
Grace took him to Horace’s office for tea first before sending a secretary to inform Horace.
During this time, they chatted in Horace’s office.
Ayan asked, “Have you set a date for your wedding with Horace?”
