Chapter 1572: Entanglement
Sienna's curiosity made Camille unable to help but find it amusing. Camille said, "What do you want to know? Do you know curiosity killed the cat?"
Sienna replied, "I'm not afraid, so tell me quickly."
"My problem with Ayan is not resolved yet. Lately, he has been ignoring me unilaterally, so I don't want to go home. Even if our child is there, I don't want to go back. I really don't want to go back at all. It's better to go back to my apartment alone."
Sienna immediately became serious upon hearing this. These two's issues were not trivial. She asked, "What exactly happened between you two? What caused it?"
Camille said it was nothing significant, perhaps conflicts arise after a certain amount of time. However, it seemed that there was no solution to these conflicts, which made her feel very exhausted. Sienna didn't inquire further and simply asked, "Should I come back and accompany you?"
Camille replied, "No need. If it reaches the point where I really need you to come back and accompany me, then I must be in a very pitiful state."
Camille had actually thought about many things. Perhaps Ayan also found this kind of interaction tiresome because everyone is equal, and it's normal for different thoughts to arise.
As they continued chatting, the designated driver arrived. Camille didn't continue the conversation and only asked Sienna, "I've made up my mind. I'm going back to the apartment. Is that too much?"
"Of course not. As long as you're happy, any decision is not excessive." Sienna naturally supported Camille unconditionally. As long as Camille was happy, Sienna would stand by her side unconditionally. And so, Camille made this cheerful decision.
After contacting the designated driver, she had them take her directly back to Maple Leaves Mansion.
Once she returned to Maple Leaves Mansion, Camille took a shower and prepared to sleep.
It was already dawn, and of course, Ayan still hadn't sent any messages. She decided to turn off her phone completely and went to sleep.
She initially thought she wouldn't sleep well, but surprisingly, she fell asleep very quickly.
However, she didn't sleep well during that nap. She kept dreaming repeatedly, and each dream left her feeling exhausted.
She even felt like Ayan was sitting beside her, watching her the whole time, which made her wake up the next day feeling completely exhausted.
When she woke up, it was already 7:30 a. m. As soon as she turned on her phone, a call came in.
It was from home.
She answered the call, and Timmy's voice immediately came from the other side, "Mom, Mom, where are you?"
Camille rubbed her temples gently and said in a gentle voice, "Mom just woke up. I didn't come home last night because it was too late. Did you wake up? Did you have breakfast?"
Timmy immediately became unhappy and said, "Mom, I want you. Can you come back?"
Camille reassured him, "Be good, have breakfast first. Mom will come back now, okay?" Only then did Timmy become satisfied.
Camille got up, freshened up, and tidied up a bit before heading back to Franklin Bay.
However, what she didn't expect was that when she returned, it was already close to 9 a. m. At this hour, shouldn't he be going to the company?
Camille parked the car and entered the house. Timmy heard her voice from afar and ran over to greet her. Timmy held onto her and refused to let go because Talia was preparing to come back, so for the next two days, Timmy would be staying at the Simpson's mansion.
Camille hugged Timmy tightly and gave him a big kiss before finally loosening her grip and saying gently, "You missed me so much?"
"Mhmm, I missed you a lot," Timmy nodded in agreement.
Camille smiled and took Timmy to the living room, not seeing Ayan, who was probably in the study upstairs.
Camille stayed with Timmy for a while when Yessica called.
Yessica sounded excited on the phone, saying, "Cami, come to the company quickly. There's something I need you to solve."
Hearing Yessica's anxious voice, Camille didn't delay and went to the company right away.
Upon arriving at the company, Camille knew what Yessica was talking about.
It was the surprise Sienna had asked Yessica to prepare, calling a few guys over to perform for her.
Camille felt extremely awkward, wishing she could find a hole to hide in. She truly couldn't accept such enthusiasm. It was really overwhelming.
But Yessica didn't allow her to pause, saying, "Sienna spent money and specifically instructed me to make sure you watch it till the end." Camille reluctantly watched until it finally ended after half an hour.
Feeling helpless, Camille directly sent a video to Sienna, but she was immediately hung up on.
Sienna had already anticipated what she was going to do, so she naturally wouldn't answer the call, knowing she would only be scolded.
Yessica walked arm in arm with Camille and asked, "Cami, are you feeling any happier?"
"Do I look like I'm very unhappy?"
"A little!"
"Well, I am a bit unhappy right now because I really want to punch Sienna." Camille felt a headache coming on. Thankfully, they were in the office. It would be even worse if they were in a public place. Camille took a deep breath, feeling a surge of energy, and grabbed Yessica to work on modifying the design proposal for the SynergyCon project once again.
Regarding the unexpected incident related to the SynergyCon project, the police were still investigating, and the netizens following the matter were eagerly awaiting responses from the police and the official SynergyCon project account.
So far, the attention and excitement had remained relatively stable, without the same level of intensity as when the incident had just occurred.
But some things couldn't be ignored. Once this matter was brought up, there would immediately be new developments, just like the saying "speak of the devil, and he appears."
It was during their discussion of the design proposal for the SynergyCon project that Camille and Yessica talked about the incident. At noon, there was new progress regarding the unexpected events surrounding the SynergyCon project.
A relative claiming to be an injured employee of the SynergyCon project sent a distress letter that said, "My brother is injured and lying in the hospital with no one taking care of him. No one is paying for his medical expenses. These big companies have control over us. They don't allow us to speak freely, nor do they allow us to leave their surveillance. They are deliberately obstructing us from telling the truth. My brother's family is truly desperate now, and I can only seek help from others online as a middle school graduate. Please help us think of a solution. What should we do?"
As soon as this plea for help from the victim's relative emerged, it immediately became the number one trending topic. Many comments below accused the SynergyCon project and its partner companies of intentionally using their power to oppress the people.
As a result, a significant public opinion uproar erupted. This time, because it involved threats to personal safety, several companies were heavily affected, including Simpson Group.
Simpson Group's stocks experienced significant volatility. The shareholders and top executives of Simpson Group held an emergency meeting, and even Fletcher, who had retired from the public eye, hurriedly came to the company.
