Chapter 1291: The Answer
Sienna had a sense of belated realization. When Crystal spoke at the bar, she also just recovered in an
instant. At that time, Sienna didn't think of herself as a backup plan. She simply thought Crystal might
be more enthusiastic. So she couldn't help but reflect in her mind if she had been too outgoing in her
usual behavior.
But the more Sienna thought about it just now, the stranger it seemed. And now that she had reacted,
she asked directly.
She gazed at Camille and blinked, saying, "So, does she have a crush on you? Or does she have
some other purpose?"
Never underestimate a woman's intuition and sixth sense.
Sienna now felt like a detective, with her mind full of various doubts and speculations.
She stared into Camille's eyes and asked, "Crystal definitely wants to get close to you. No wonder the
first thing she asked when she brought the local specialties to the company downstairs last time was
about you. At that time, I found it strange, thinking she was just asking casually. But now, I guess she
wanted to meet you, right?"
"I feel like it's not just me who feels a sense of crisis now. Even Ayan should feel it too!"
"Is her concern for me just a means to an end?"
"What else could it be?"
"It could be a means to an end, but it doesn't necessarily mean she has any special intentions towards
me," Camille raised an eyebrow and smiled. "So don't think too much about it. As for why she wants to
be friends with us, time will provide the answer."
Although Camille told Sienna this, when she chatted with Ayan in the evening, she also mentioned the
dinner with Crystal.
Upon hearing Crystal's name, Ayan naturally reacted and asked, "Did you have dinner with Crystal?"
"Yes, didn't I tell you earlier that we were having dinner tonight? It was with Crystal and Sienna. Crystal
had prepared a lot of specialties and snacks from Flento City for us. We should have treated her to a
meal earlier, but we never found the right opportunity. Just then, Sienna mentioned that Crystal wanted
to talk to her, so we had this dinner."
Camille continued speaking on her own, with Ayan not present. He couldn't see his current expression
or reaction, so she continued, "I have a question about Crystal."
Ayan's voice finally sounded, "What's your question?"
"I feel like she might have some ulterior motives towards me or Sienna. Because you know the history
between us. So why would she want to be friends with us? It's a bit strange to me!"
Camille naturally had no reservations about talking to Ayan. Just now, when she was in front of Sienna,
she had to consider if her words would make Sienna doubt herself or behave unusually.
But it didn't matter to be honest with Ayan, after all, he had a keen sense of judgment when it came to
people.
So Camille wanted to ask Ayan how he saw it.
However, after her words, Ayan's reaction was somewhat indifferent. He said, "Didn't I already This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
investigate her before? There's no problem. Maybe she just genuinely wants to be friends with you
guys!"
Camille was slightly taken aback. He was right, they did investigate Crystal, but the lingering doubts in
her heart remained. However, Ayan seemed convinced and didn't continue to ask further. He just
answered like that.
Camille pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
The atmosphere between the two suddenly quieted down.
It continued like this for about ten seconds, and Ayan probably realized that Camille's mood wasn't
quite right. Then he spoke up, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Camille also furrowed her brows. She hesitated for a while, not knowing how to start.
The atmosphere became increasingly strange. After almost a minute, Camille spoke softly, "Why don't
you ask me why I think this way? You didn't mention anything about investigating or helping me
analyze, even though I know you've already looked into it. It's not like you, Ayan. Before, you would
always help me analyze and give sincere advice and your thoughts. But now, why do you trust Crystal
like this?"
Once Camille had doubts in her mind, they became uncontrollable. Ayan's change, in particular, was
unbelievable to her. Her thoughts grew stronger, and if Ayan didn't say anything, Camille would
probably start overthinking again.
Naturally, Ayan didn't want to give him that chance. He wanted Preston to continue living in the
darkness, completely losing any power to go against the Simpson family. Now that Eileen's wings had
been broken, he couldn't afford to give Preston a new opportunity.
Perhaps Ayan's words were sincere enough, so Camille didn't think much about it. She smoothly
changed the topic to something else. It was already late for Camille, but Ayan was just having dinner.
Camille needed to rest, so they didn't continue their conversation.
However, after finishing the conversation with Camille, Ayan didn't immediately have his dinner.
Instead, he dialed Crystal's phone number. They had exchanged contacts, and even if they hadn't, he
could still find it.
Crystal quickly answered the call, surprised because she didn't expect Ayan to call her. She asked, "Mr.
Simpson?" Coոtent оf Draмaոovеls.cом
"It's me." Ayan's voice wasn't as gentle as it was with Camille a moment ago. It was rather cold and
serious. He said, "I heard you had dinner with her today."
"Weren't we clear about this?" Ayan furrowed his eyebrows, sounding somewhat displeased.
Crystal replied, "Of course, I know we made an agreement. I just want a specific time. It has been a
long time since this matter started, and I don't think I've ever asked Mr. Simpson directly for an answer,
have I?"
Indeed, that was the case. After all, this matter was delicate and sensitive. The fewer people who knew
about it, the better. So Crystal never took the initiative to ask, and naturally, Ayan wouldn't bring it up
either.
