My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1563: Settling Scores

Two photos released by the Simpson Group: one was a group photo from Jordan's university days, featuring not only the two of them but also Rex, Derek, and Tomas.

The other was a picture of him and Camille, holding hands by the floor-to-ceiling window in a hotel room, capturing the view of Dane City.

Their hands were visible, indicating that they were indeed at a hotel in Dane City, the same hotel where the cake was delivered.

These two photos were sufficient to demonstrate that Ayan and Jordan were acquainted in the old market and also indicated that he was at the hotel, so Camille was not alone.

However, the official blog still posted a brief explanation: "We apologize for the misunderstanding and the unnecessary use of public resources by our lady. Mr. Bailey and our president are old classmates and friends. Yesterday was Mr. Bailey's birthday, and since the president couldn't make it due to a business trip in Campole, his wife happened to be in Dane City for some matters, so she represented the president in delivering the cake to Mr. Bailey. Is there any problem?"

The Simpson Group's official blog posed this question, particularly targeting the netizens who made a big deal out of it and the unscrupulous media and journalists who leaked this video. Consequently, a series of questions and inquiries followed suit.

"That's right, what's the problem with someone delivering a cake on behalf of her husband to his good friend?"

"May I ask if this journalist and this media outlet have nothing better to do?"

"May I ask if you've never eaten cake? What's the problem with someone enjoying a piece of cake?" "May I ask..."

The following were a string of "may I ask" and "what's the problem" questions.

Jordan glanced at the online situation and calmly responded to his secretary, "Don't bother with it."

Ayan had already responded, and this incident would not bring any negative impact to Camille.

When Camille woke up, she naturally noticed the current situation.

After looking at her phone, she turned to Ayan and said, "It seems like your relationship with Jordan during your university days is even better than you've described!"

They had talked quite a bit with each other last night, so Camille had some knowledge about Ayan's relationship with Jordan. However, it was only after seeing the group photo that she realized their relationship was even closer than she had imagined.

Ayan didn't respond to this topic but instead handed her coat to her and said, "Put on some clothes, get up, and let's go downstairs for breakfast. I've made plans to have dinner with Jordan tonight." In a sense, this dinner was his initiative to invite Jordan, a way of thanking him on Camille's behalf for the previous help.

However, there was no need to tell Camille about these words; it was enough to inform Jordan directly.

Ayan had just made a phone call to Jordan, and naturally, he agreed to the invitation.

Camille paused for a moment, then followed along, saying, "I had originally planned to have dinner with him tonight too. I have prepared a birthday gift for him; I'll go pick it up later, and we can give it to him together tonight."

Hearing that they were supposed to have dinner together tonight, if this incident hadn't occurred, they would have had dinner together and exchanged gifts. Ayan's mood seemed less joyful now. Ayan calmly looked at Camille and asked, "If the video incident hadn't happened, and you were planning to have dinner with him tonight, were you not planning to tell me?"

Camille didn't respond immediately; she instinctively hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well, since you didn't inform me about your business trip in advance, I definitely wouldn't have told you." Even though he was right there with her at the moment, she still spoke the truth, without wanting to sugarcoat or deceive him in any way.

Ayan let out a slight hum, and his face immediately turned gloomy. His voice, devoid of warmth, said, "We'll talk about this when we return to Hance City."

"Ayan, are you planning to settle the score with me later in Hance City? Is it the right thing to do to go on a business trip without informing me?" Camille mirrored his tone to express her displeasure. Then, Ayan leaned down and passionately kissed her on the face.

Ayan, with a hoarse voice, said, "I'm jealous. You better behave and stop having meals alone with other people of the opposite sex."

His jealousy was evident, lacking any trace of subtlety, momentarily catching Camille off guard. Then, a faint hint of interaction appeared at the corner of her mouth, where he couldn't see. After having breakfast, Camille had to attend to her work.

Since Ayan had nothing to do in Dane City, he accompanied her to work.

She went to finalize the contract for the project, while he sat in the car waiting.

It felt like she was accompanying him at work as usual.

Camille was busy for two hours, during which Ayan remained in the car, reading documents. Although he was in Dane City, his work required him to use a computer, so he didn't have any free time at all.

When Camille finished her work and

came out of the building, she saw Ayan sitting in the car with the

window open, looking down without

knowing what he was looking at Camille didn't rush over; instead, she went to a nearby milk tea shop,

ordered a cup of plain tea, and asked the server to deliver it to him.

Camille also wrote a note: "Thank you, Mr. Simpson, for accompanying me at work. This is a reward for you."

Ayan thanked her, took the tea cup, and after taking a couple of sips, he resumed working.

Camille went to retrieve the gift,

fortunately, it was a pair of cufflinks that could fit inside her bag. Otherwise, if it were something bigger Ayan would definitely noticed it, and the jealousy would have flared up again.

Camille got back in the car just as Ayan finished his work.

He asked, "Why did it take so long?"

He meant it should have been done in two hours, but he had been away for two and a half hours.

Camille replied, "We discussed some details about future collaboration."

Of course, Camille wouldn't mention that she had gone to get the gift; otherwise, she might have been thrown out of the car.

They temporarily put aside their conflicts due to this incident. Neither of them brought it up again, but they both knew that the matter remained unresolved.

They returned to the hotel, and after Camille set aside the project-related contracts, she and Ayan went downstairs for lunch.

As for the online news, Camille naturally didn't pay attention to it. She didn't have the time now; she was busy video chatting with Sienna.

Sienna was having her bridal photoshoot, but due to the rain, it had to be postponed. So, Sienna ended up chatting with Camille, and their conversation inevitably touched upon the recent incident.

Sienna laughed and said, "We all

know that Mr. Simpson and Jordan were classmates, so let's put that aside for now. Let's talk about how Mr. Simpson reacted to you

He even squeezed into the economy class just to go to Dane City. Honestly, he probably didn't tell you, right? If I hadn't mentioned it, would you still be unaware?"Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Sienna had just learned about this from Rex and immediately called Camille to inform her.
