Chapter 1440 Control

The old Simpson did not answer, only maintained silence.

After a brief moment of silence from the old Simpson, Fletcher's gaze was fixed on him, wanting to know what the old Simpson was thinking.

The old Simpson had always held the Armstrong family in high regard, so his attention to the Armstrong family's affairs did not strike Fletcher as strange or unexpected. However, the old Simpson's reactions at this moment seemed peculiar to him.

Lost in speculation, Fletcher heard the old Simpson's voice.

"Can I go to the police station to see him?" the old Simpson asked.

Fletcher was taken aback, his expression somewhat subdued. He said, "Do you want to go to the police station?"

"Yes."

"Dad, the current situation is quite sensitive, and everyone is focused on this matter. It might be inappropriate for us to go from the hospital to the police station to see him."

"So, let you arrange it." The old Simpson insisted, with almost no room for negotiation.

Fletcher asked, "Should I inform Ayan on that side?"

"No need, just you and I need to know."

Fletcher smiled faintly, "Dad, are you underestimating Ayan? If he can take control of this matter, then certainly the police have also discussed it."

As Ayan's way of handling things, Fletcher, as his father, naturally understood. Ayan now played a significant role in handling Simpson Group so well, indicating that he had some means. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

As a father, he understood Ayan and knew that Ayan would not act unprepared; all preparations would be thorough.

However, the old Simpson had a different opinion. "Doesn't your face hold the same weight as his in the eyes of the police? You are his father, and there are some things that you need to handle behind the scenes. Sometimes, when the involved party is lost or emotionally compromised and unable to handle things calmly, you need to step in."

The old Simpson believed that even though Ayan now controlled Simpson Group well, and even though Fletcher's name combined might not be as powerful as Ayan alone, sometimes, some people might not give them face, but they should give Ayan face.

This circle was such that if Simpson Group failed, Fletcher and the old Simpson would naturally be ignored by those who valued fame and fortune, while those who genuinely admired the old Simpson would continue to respect them.

However, if Ayan stood strong, and both of them retreated from Simpson Group, then the people in this circle would want to show their respect to Ayan, regardless of their personal feelings for the old Simpson.

Therefore, Fletcher's concerns were not unfounded, yet the old Simpson's ideas were more direct.

Even if they had stepped back and Simpson Group now followed Ayan's commands, because they are still at the pinnacle of the group, the outside world would naturally not dare to be negligent

towards them.

The old Simpson insisted on seeing Brody, so Fletcher could only follow the old Simpson's instructions to arrange it.

After about ten minutes, a call came from the police station confirming the meeting time.

The meeting was set for the next morning at nine-thirty.

After finalizing the meeting time, Fletcher asked the old Simpson, "Should we inform Ayan about the meeting?"

"No need, if he needs to know, why would I have you arrange it behind his back? Let him handle it directly."

Not wanting Ayan to know, as Ayan finding out would most likely lead to Camille knowing as well.

Fletcher nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Fletcher was the old Simpson's secretary, fully obeying the old Simpson's arrangements.

However, Fletcher was also curious about the old Simpson's intention to meet Brody. With a probing look, he asked, "Is there something specific you want to discuss with him?"

At this crucial juncture, meeting seemed inappropriate, but the old Simpson's insistence suggested he had already prepared to have a final meeting.

There must be something important. Otherwise, the old Simpson would not go out of his way to meet Brody at this time.

Fletcher was curious about what could be so important to warrant the old Simpson's attention.

Despite his curiosity, the old Simpson glanced at him lightly, indicating he had no intention of sharing. He simply said, "It's nothing major, no need to worry."

The old Simpson's evasion only heightened Fletcher's curiosity. Given the old Simpson's heavy thoughts, Fletcher became convinced that the old Simpson was hiding something, and it was significant.

The fact that the old Simpson wanted to meet Brody meant it involved both the Armstrong and Simpson families, with only one person fitting the bill.

In Fletcher's dark eyes flickered a hint of indifference. If it was related to Camille, what exactly was it?

These questions sparked numerous thoughts in Fletcher's mind.

His silence caught the old Simpson's attention, who stated, "Apart from this room, no one else must know about this matter, understood?"

The old Simpson's seriousness was evident, and Fletcher quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, I understand."

Satisfied, the old Simpson continued.

Fletcher would keep the secret, but his curiosity only grew, and he couldn't help but dwell on the matter.

After accompanying the old Simpson, Fletcher returned to the Simpson family.

His preoccupied state did not escape Talia's notice. That evening, after playing with Timmy and returning to their room, Talia asked, "What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"

Although Fletcher and Talia had been married for many years and had a strong relationship, they still spoke openly to each other, frequently sharing thoughts and feelings.

Talia's focus on Timmy had reduced her own personal time, resulting in Fletcher spending more time with her to alleviate any sense of loneliness or isolation in managing the family.

As Fletcher applied a face mask for Talia, his voice was low as he said, "I spoke to Dad today, and his reaction to the Armstrong family's situation seems significant. He wants to go to the police station tomorrow morning to take a look."

"Perhaps it's because of the old Armstrong's association. You know how well Dad gets along with him, so there shouldn't be a problem visiting Camille's father."

"I hope so," responded Fletcher solemnly.

Talia sensed an underlying meaning in his words. She asked softly, "What are you trying to say?"
