My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1216: Provocation

Chapter 1216: Provocation

Camille tightly pursed her lips, and her facial expression became stiff. Then she gently pushed Ayan

away, trying to create some distance between them. However, Ayan held onto her waist tightly, not

giving her any chance to escape.

In this confrontation, Camille naturally had no winning position. Ayan's words kept echoing in her ears,

and she couldn't calm down. Is this person going crazy? How can he dare to say such things? Being

her father at night? Shameless.

Camille really didn't understand why Ayan had become like this. Her expression on her face was also

very uncomfortable, especially with Kian around. It would be so embarrassing if he heard any of this. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Camille and Ayan successfully returned to Franklin Bay. As for Alicia's matter, Camille didn't want to

think about it anymore. After all, Ayan was handling it, and although Alicia's apology might be late, it

would definitely come.

Actually, Alicia's apology wasn't that important. After all, she wasn't an important person. Camille just

couldn't stand her. She was too arrogant. It wasn't just once or twice. It made Camille feel

uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Back at the hotel, after Ayan and Camille left, Mr. Nores didn't know what to do. He stood at the door,

watching Ayan's departing figure, and a great fear arose in his heart. But at the moment, he had no

solution. He could only think that Mario and Camille were old acquaintances, so he should have some

influence in front of Camille and Ayan.

Mr. Nores turned around and walked into the hotel, but just as he stepped into the hotel entrance, he

saw Mario and Horace coming out.

Seeing this, Mr. Nores immediately greeted them, "Miss King, Mr. Burris, won't you sit for a while? We

haven't finished our tea!"

Horace said indifferently, "Mr. Nores, I'm afraid we'll have to deal with today's matter before we can

continue with the next steps. I have other things to attend to, so I have to go back first."

Behind Horace was Armstrong Corp, which was affiliated with Camille. Mr. Nores was well aware of

this.

Mr. Nores had a stiff expression, but he couldn't find any words to make Horace stay. Once Horace left,

only Mario remained.

Mr. Nores placed all his hopes on Mario. He spoke in a low and submissive voice, "Miss King, please

take a look at today's situation. You must help me. It's all because my daughter has been too reckless

and indulgent."

Mario's expression was also very cold as he replied, "Mr. Nores, you can indulge your daughter, but

there should be a time and place for it. In today's matter, Miss Nores herself needs to personally

apologize to Cami. Cami is not an unreasonable person. I've known her for many years, and it's rare to

see her get angry like this. So let Miss Nores reflect on her actions!"

After Mario finished speaking, he coldly reminded Mr. Nores, "Since cooperation with Simpson Group is

temporarily on hold, it's better to handle Miss Nores' matter first. Otherwise, there will be endless

troubles. If such a situation arises halfway through or at the end of the project, Ayan can easily put a

stop to it. The project will be completely ruined."

Mario's words instantly made Mr. Nores's face turn unpleasant. Mario was right. If this incident occurred

halfway or near completion of the project, Ayan could simply halt it with a single word. That would be a

complete disaster for the Nores Group.

Mr. Nores couldn't afford such consequences. He ordered his secretary with a cold face, "Bring Alicia

down here. Tell her to leave immediately."

Mr. Nores was truly enraged, and his secretary didn't dare to delay. She quickly went to the private

room to call Alicia.

Inside the room, Alicia was furious. Tea cups that Camille had just used lay shattered on the floor. She

cursed repeatedly, "Bitch! Bitch!"

As the secretary pushed open the door, she saw Alicia's emotions were out of control and interrupted,

"Alicia, your father wants you to go home now."

Alicia, upon seeing the secretary, had a slightly stiff expression and asked, "What's wrong with my

father? It's just a temporary suspension. It's not a big deal. What is he so worried about? Tonight's

incident wasn't my fault. It's Camille's poor ability to handle it."

Alicia hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation. The secretary could only truthfully inform her

of the current situation. Upon hearing it, Alicia's face froze, and her eyes were filled with shock and

unease.

Accompanied by Mr. Nores's secretary, Alicia returned to the Nores family. As soon as she entered the

house, she was met with a heavy slap from Mr. Nores.

Because she is the only daughter of the Nores family, both Mr. Nores and Mrs. Nores dote on her. Mrs.

Nores also comes from a wealthy family, so Alicia grew up fearless, disregarding the consequences of

her actions.

Receiving a slap from Mr. Nores was something Alicia never dreamed of. Her father, who had never

laid a hand on her before, was now hitting her. Alicia was stunned, instinctively covering her face with

her hands. She looked at Mr. Nores in disbelief.

Mrs. Nores was also taken aback and quickly approached Alicia, showing deep concern. She asked,

"Alicia, are you okay?"

Alicia stood there in a daze, not responding. Mrs. Nores turned to Mr. Nores and asked, "Why did you

hit Alicia? What happened? Why would you treat her like this?"

Mr. Nores pointed at Alicia and said, "Ask her what she did! Ask her!"

Mrs. Nores defended Alicia immediately, saying, "It can't be that serious. Alicia is not someone who

acts recklessly. There must have been something Camille did to make her uncomfortable. You can't

solely blame Alicia!"

Mrs. Nores showed clear bias toward Alicia and didn't see any wrongdoing on her part. Seeing this, Mr.

Nores's expression became even more unpleasant.

Mr. Nores snorted and said, "If you continue to spoil her like this, forget about this project. The Nores

family, Nores Group, and your wealthy family will all be ruined because of her."

Mr. Nores rarely spoke such serious words, and at that moment, Mrs. Nores realized that something

was not right.

She looked at Alicia and asked, "Alicia, tell Mom what happened? Why did you provoke Camille? She

is Ayan's wife. You shouldn't mess with her. I know you like Ayan, but he is already married. With your

good qualities, aren't you afraid of not finding a better man than him?"

Upon hearing Mrs. Nores's words, Mr. Nores also instantly understood where Alicia's hostility towards

Camille stemmed from.

Mr. Nores walked up to Alicia and looked at her silently. His tone softened, no longer as harsh and

displeased. After all, she was his daughter, and despite being angry, he had already hit her. Some of

his anger had dissipated as he looked at Alicia's swollen face. He lowered his voice and asked, "I

thought you were just talking. Haven't you given up yet? What kind of person is Ayan? He is someone

you can't handle at all. Don't keep thinking about him. Do you want the entire Nores family to suffer?"

Alicia looked up at Mr. Nores, still unwilling to give up. She said, "Why can't I? I am clearly more

outstanding than Camille. I am clearly more suitable for him. Why don't you all support me? Why?"

Alicia's emotions were extremely agitated. However, she seemed to forget one thing - timing and order.

Love and marriage are not about who is more suitable for whom.

Both Mr. Nores and Mrs. Nores tried to persuade Alicia repeatedly, but she simply wouldn't listen.

In the end, Mr. Nores had no choice but to cut off all of Alicia's cards, with one condition: she had to

apologize to Camille. From Mario's words, Mr. Nores obtained a crucial piece of information - as long

as he obtained Camille's forgiveness, Ayan's side wouldn't pursue the matter any further. And it had to

be done quickly.
