Chapter 1472: Making a Plan
Camille glanced at Grace with a faint smile before calmly speaking, "I understand Uncle's intentions. My sister and I both know that Uncle is doing this for the good of the Armstrong family, but..."
But when it came to it, Camille hesitated, her expression full of conflict.
She sighed heavily, the torment evident in her eyes and expression, piquing everyone's curiosity.
However, Camille showed no sign of continuing to speak until both uncles asked in unison, "Camille, but what?"
Sighing again, Camille turned to her uncles and said, "If we are to have our two cousins adopted by the Armstrong family, we also need to discuss it with our father. Once this matter becomes public knowledge, people will definitely wonder if our mother's family is trying to take advantage of the Armstrong family. We know it's not the case, but others won't. Uncle needs to think this through carefully!"
Camille's words made sense, as public opinion tends to ignite quickly.
She also mentioned the potential backlash if this matter escalates, questioning the consequences of such actions.
The uncles seemed to consider this, so they whispered to each other, "Let's discuss this."
"Great!" Camille blinked and smiled.
After a while, the uncles returned with a final decision: they would still insist on having the older cousin adopted by the Armstrong family. The details of the agreement between the uncles remained unknown.
Nevertheless, it wouldn't be long before everything was revealed.
Now that they had made their decision, Camille did not say much more. Instead, she turned to Grace and suggested, "Since the uncles have decided, why not take care of the media announcement and sign the agreement with us tomorrow? The older cousin will also start living with the Armstrong family from tomorrow, with a new name. Does anyone have any objections?"
The older cousin remained silent. As long as there was money to spend, he was willing to do anything, even change his last name. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
The older uncle and aunt seemed hesitant, but they would not regret it, having come this far. Meanwhile, the younger uncle's family seemed somewhat envious.
Camille noticed this with a faint smile, as if to say that human desires are insatiable.
No one gets something for nothing.
After seeing off the uncles, Camille and Grace did not stay at the Armstrong family for long. Instead, they left, leaving the uncles to return home.
Grace, bewildered, asked Camille, "Will this really work?"
"I don't know what your definition of 'working' is," replied Camille. "But maybe it will, or maybe it won't. Either way, it doesn't matter much."
The main thing for Camille was to teach them a lesson.
After dropping Grace off at Maple Leaves Mansion, Camille instructed her chauffeur to take her to Simpson Group.
She hadn't been there in a while, but the staff still remembered her.
Camille took Ayan's private elevator up to his floor. The secretary's office buzzed with tension as everyone worked diligently.
Seeing Camille, Kian hurried over and said, "Madam."
Seeing her here was a surprise.
He asked her to follow him to Ayan's office, but she declined and went to his office by herself. She pushed the door open quietly to observe Ayan, who was working attentively at his desk, oblivious to her presence.
After a few minutes, she sighed softly and then pushed the door open, entering without knocking.
"Mr. Simpson is quite occupied. I've been watching you from outside the door for a while, and there was no response," she said in a low murmur.
Hearing her voice, Ayan instinctively looked up at her.
They locked eyes and he got up from his desk, approaching her gently. "Did you visit the Armstrong family?"
Camille had informed Ayan about her visit, seeking his advice.
She nodded and briefed him on what had happened at the Armstrong family, then looked at him and asked, "Do you think what I did was a bit too ruthless? Will my uncle be furious when he finds out about my plan?"
She knew that she could not let her uncle's son inherit Armstrong Corp. She just wanted to let them know that scheming against the Armstrong family would not be beneficial.
Ayan looked at her indulgently and assured her, "It isn't ruthless. Don't doubt yourself. Since you've done it, stick to it."
Whatever happened, he would support her.
Camille bit her lip and said, "After work, let's go for a date."
Last time, she had been scolded for just going out for dinner. Now that everything was settled, she hoped no one would make a fuss.
Ayan gently patted her head, pleased with her proposal.
Afterward, Camille waited for him in the office, knowing that even a CEO couldn't leave work early. After all, he had a family to support.
