Chapter 1302: Provocation
Camille pursed her lips, vaguely guessing that Ayan had hinted at this before, although not directly.
She had already prepared herself mentally for this matter, so she didn't find the scene of the two of
them playfully arguing in the video to be too unusual or emotional.
Perhaps it was because she had long given up any hope or expectations of her parents that she
remained so calm?
But will Grace, who is abroad, see this video?
She must be quite surprised and unable to accept it, right?
Camille's reaction was calm, and Sienna asked, "Did you already know?"
"I wouldn't say I knew early on because they didn't admit it, but I had been mentally prepared for a long
time. He retaliated well. The age of the child outside is still unclear. Honestly, except for his business
trips during the day, he is always either at the company or at home. It's hard to imagine that he has a
woman and a child outside. Wouldn't they feel it's difficult to accept that he can't be with them?" Camille
couldn't really understand this question. Or is it that Brody manages his time well, which allows him to
handle the woman outside and the Armstrong family so smoothly?
Camille shook her head, unwilling to dwell on this matter any further. Perhaps it was because she didn't
agree to Page's request yesterday that it became the catalyst for the complete rupture between them?
Camille hadn't figured out this matter yet when Yessica knocked on the door and entered. Yessica
seemed hesitant and troubled. Camille asked, "What's wrong?"
Yessica whispered, "Cami, your father is here."
Camille frowned, instinctively glanced at Sienna beside her. The video was still playing on her phone
screen. Has the protagonist of the video arrived?
Sienna casually remarked, "He's probably here to resolve the online matter with you?"
After all, the incident had gained considerable attention. If it was truly revealed that it was Brody, the
Armstrong family would likely face a lot of gossip, and Camille and Ayan would probably not escape
scrutiny either.
Camille asked, "Where is he now?"
"I've invited him to the conference room. We can't let him wait outside," Yessica knew about Camille's
relationship with the Armstrong family and her somewhat cold attitude towards Brody Page, but she
wouldn't abandon basic politeness and respect. After all, he was still Camille's parent.
Both Yessica and Sienna were on Camille's side, so they didn't show any intimacy towards those who
treated Camille poorly.
Sienna said to Camille, "You should go and see what it's about. If you need us for anything, send a
message or we can turn on the conference room's camera."
"Up to you," Camille shrugged. She didn't intend to hide this matter from Sienna and Yessica since they
were all on the same side. If they wanted to see, they could.
Camille picked up her phone and walked out of the office. When she arrived at the conference room,
Brody was already sitting in a chair, sipping tea.
Seeing her enter, Brody's expression was far from friendly. He snorted and said, "Such a small
company with so many rules. Do I have to make an appointment to even meet you, my own daughter?"
Camille and Brody had never been close because they had spent very little time together. Since she
was brought back to the Armstrong family, they only had fleeting encounters during meals. As for other
times, she couldn't see him at all, considering how busy Brody was back then.
After they got married, she saw him even less, but every time he used a commanding tone as if he
were an elder, making various demands of her.
Compared to Page's constant insults and irrationality, Brody's attitude wasn't much better. Camille
glanced at him, still not fully recovered from what had happened, looking much older than before.
Camille walked to the seat opposite Brody and asked, "What can I do for you?" Getting straight to the
point, Camille had no desire to waste any words.
Seeing Camille's coldness and distance, a hint of displeasure flashed in Brody's eyes, and his voice
matched the chill in the air. "You just sit down without being asked by your elders. Is this how you
behave in the Simpson family? How do you think the Armstrong family will be perceived by the
Simpson family? Do you realize that your actions are bringing shame upon the Armstrong family?"
"Compared to shame, I believe it's more shameful to cheat on your wife and family, have a child with
someone else, and keep it a secret. Don't you think?" Camille's expression remained cold, her voice
devoid of any warmth as she looked directly at Brody, each word hitting him like a slap in the face.
In the office, Sienna and Yessica applauded and cheered loudly, finding Camille's response satisfying.
Faced with Camille's sharp questioning, Brody's face turned extremely ugly. He slammed the table
heavily and shouted, "How dare you! Do you even know what you're talking about? When did it
become your turn to manage me?"
Brody remained silent for several seconds because Camille's previous words had deeply displeased
him. Even if what Camille said was true, so what? He believed he was Camille's father, and therefore, a
daughter shouldn't accuse or blame her father for anything, even if he was wrong.
Even if he was wrong, a daughter had no right to say it.
That was Brody's nature. New chаpter avąilable on NovelDrama.Org
But now Brody had something he needed to discuss with Camille, so he couldn't afford to antagonize
her too much. He looked at Camille and said, "Your mother came to see you yesterday, asking you to
resolve the matter with Armstrong Corp. Why didn't you agree?" Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Camille was taken aback for a moment and calmly replied, "Handling Armstrong Corp's affairs has
always been your responsibility. I shouldn't interfere to avoid being labeled as having ulterior motives. I
truly can't afford that."
Brody had started using PUA tactics again, just like him and Page were both skilled at it.
