My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1286: Excitement

Not long after this meal, Ayan had sent a message to Horace before he arrived, so when the

conversation reached a deadlock, Horace received a call from Ayan.

Horace was involved in financial investments, and he had many friends and acquaintances in this area.

This could be considered Horace's turf, where his family and friends were located.

His name, Mr. Tillery, was also known. They had worked together before, but they were not close

friends.

Learning that Horace was calling to discuss matters, Mr. Tillery didn't try to persuade Ayan further. He

simply said, "I hope you will consider what we just discussed. Sometimes, letting go and making a

different choice can bring about change that leads to greater benefits and advantages."

Of course, Ayan would not agree, but he didn't refuse outright either. His intention was not to offend Mr.

Tillery. After all, their cooperation had just ended, and the project had gained momentum with the

reputation of the Tillery Group. The Simpson Group was also gradually entering this market, and there

would likely be future collaborations.

Opening the foreign market was an important step for the Simpson Group. Ayan wouldn't completely

cut off ties with Mr. Tillery. Instead, he would assign professionals to handle future collaborations in this

area, minimizing his own contact with Mr. Tillery.

Leaving the restaurant, they once again took Mr. Tillery's secretary's car back to the hotel.

During the journey, Ayan remained silent, burying all his emotions inside. However, his face was

gloomy, and his deep black eyes appeared particularly dim.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Ayan didn't wait for Mr. Tillery's secretary or Kian to open the door for him.

He opened the back door of the car and got out on his own.

He strode towards the hotel entrance, while Kian raised his head slightly to bid farewell to Mr. Tillery's

secretary before quickly catching up with Ayan.

Kian had to almost jog to catch up with Ayan, and then the two of them entered the elevator together.

Kian caught a glimpse of Ayan's frosty expression and took several seconds to compose himself before

speaking softly, "Mr. Simpson, what Mr. Tillery did was quite difficult. He knows you are already

married, yet he insisted on forcefully pushing his daughter towards you. Does he intend to use this

approach to win you over, or does he have some other plan?"

Kian had clearly heard every word of their earlier conversation, but he didn't understand Mr. Tillery's

true intentions.

It wasn't suitable for them to discuss this matter earlier, especially with the driver present. Even though

they were speaking Mandarin, they had to be cautious about eavesdroppers.

Ayan narrowed his eyes, and his deep gaze was filled with coldness. He replied indifferently, "He wants

to tempt me with the opportunity to date his daughter through the Tillery Group. For many people, such

an opportunity is rare and hard to come by. After all, becoming a son-in-law of the Tillery Group is a

tremendous honor, something that may never happen in a lifetime. He believes that with this method, I

will waver and accept his conditions. Then, in the future, the Tillery Group can expand into the

domestic market, seize a share of Hance City, or even cover the entire country."

"So, Mr. Tillery is not doing this because he genuinely likes you and wants you to be with his

daughter?" Kian asked.

"He explicitly stated that business takes precedence, and everything is for the company's interests.

Personal feelings are irrelevant. That's Mr. Tillery's mindset. Otherwise, how could he have achieved

such success here?" Ayan responded.

"But Mr. Tillery already has more than enough wealth, and he only has one daughter. He's at an age

where he can enjoy the benefits and privileges for how much longer?" Kian was puzzled. After all, Mr.

Tillery wasn't young anymore, and accumulating so much wealth with no way to take it with him raised

the question of why he continued to pursue so much.

Ayan spoke lightly, saying, "Do you think Mr. Tillery really only has this one daughter?"

Mr. Tillery, of course, had a marriage relationship with his wife, but her family has been declining in

recent years. As Tillery Group grew more and more successful, especially after going public and NôvelDrama.Org © content.

becoming a leading company, Mr. Tillery became bolder. He had many illegitimate children outside,

who were an open secret.

Unlike in the country, where such matters are not as tolerated, in foreign countries, they are more

accepting of illegitimate children. Once Mr. Tillery faces any situation, those illegitimate children will do

everything in their power to deal with Mr. Tillery's wife and daughter.

Only then can they secure a larger inheritance.

Ayan's words made Kian pause for a moment. He hadn't thought about it, but after Ayan mentioned it,

he didn't think it was unlikely. After all, a man like Mr. Tillery couldn't possibly be that devoted.

Kian said, "So, besides expanding the domestic market, is Mr. Tillery also trying to consolidate his

daughter's position?"

Ayan replied indifferently, "He probably hopes that Tillery Group can be legitimate. Even if he has to

give a substantial amount of wealth to his illegitimate children, he still wants Tillery Group to stand

strong. Only then can his name, Mr. Tillery, be passed down!"

Ayan's guess was close to the mark, capturing most of Mr. Tillery's thoughts.

However, if Mr. Tillery wanted to use him, he had to see if he was worthy of cooperation.

Back in the hotel room, Horace had already arrived, and Kian immediately notified Horace and Grace

to come upstairs.

After the meeting, Horace casually asked, "You seem busy. Haven't you finished dealing with the

project yet?"

Ayan raised an eyebrow and replied lightly, "Almost done." He glanced at Grace and said, "Cami asked

me to say hello to you on her behalf."

Grace nodded slightly and said, "I'm fine. Tell her not to worry about me."

Ayan nodded lightly, then began talking to Horace.

He asked Horace, "How much do you know about Mr. Tillery?"

Ayan was straightforward with Horace and didn't think about hiding anything from him.

He also told Horace about the content of their lunch today. Before Horace could speak, Grace was the

first to speak up. Grace asked, "Doesn't she know that you're already married?"

"Cami and I are currently in a state of divorce. Thanks to Preston's actions, everyone now knows that

we are divorced."

The intense emotions from Grace surprised both Horace and Ayan. They hadn't expected her to

become so worked up, as she was usually gentle and calm.

After realizing that her emotions were getting out of control, Grace sat down on the sofa and said in a

hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I'm just too worried."

Horace chuckled softly, reached out and gently held her hand, and whispered, "It's okay, Mr. Simpson

won't mind, right? Mr. Simpson?"
