Horace noticed that there was no sign of intimacy between Grace and anyone filming, instead, he gave a slight smile and looked at Camille, saying, "You seem alright?"

"Mr. Burris, are you implying that I look terrible?" Camille replied lightly.

Horace still had a faint smile on his face as he said, "You better not let Mr. Simpson hear that, I'm afraid he'll retaliate because of it."

"Wow, are you implying that Mr. Simpson is such a retaliatory person in your eyes?" Camille pretended to look exaggerated.

Horace helplessly smiled, shaking his head, "If I continue, I might end up saying everything wrong, right?"

Grace quickly interjected, "Okay, you better keep quiet now, you won't win against Cami."

Horace nodded and said, "Yes, you're right." He gestured for them to go ahead and said, "After you, ladies."

Camille and Grace didn't hesitate, linking arms and stepping through the gates of Armstrong Corp.

The news of the two women entering Armstrong Corp spread online instantly. Watching Horace bow and smile at them, the netizens expressed a lot of sympathy and concern for him, and once again, they expressed great dissatisfaction, particularly towards Camille.

They believed that Camille was riding on Ayan's coattails to oppress Horace. Since Camille had used Ayan's car today, they assumed she must have whispered something in Ayan's ear last night,

as Ayan hadn't responded or taken action regarding her trending news yet.

The netizens even warned Ayan not to be fooled by the fox, shouting, "Mr. Simpson, you must not be blinded by love, Mr. Simpson, you must stay calm!"

"Mr. Simpson, we hope you can exhibit your usual sharpness in dealing with this, be cautious of Camille, don't let her deceive you."

Many believed that a man like Ayan, surrounded by beautiful women, shouldn't be misled by a woman like Camille, as they assumed she was intentionally seducing him.

But the parties involved paid no attention to these comments, completely indifferent, and unaffected, ignoring the voices of the people.

Camille and Grace followed Horace into Armstrong Corp and directly to Horace's office.

Grace approached Horace, asking, "Ajin, what do you think of the message I sent you about that matter? Is it alright to proceed? Any issues with it?"

While attending Brody's farewell meeting at the police station, Grace had previously messaged Horace to seek his opinion. She was concerned about the implications of their actions.

But if they didn't bid Brody farewell, it would be a lifelong regret. The family was in disarray due to the situation, mainly caused by Brody, the principal orchestrator. As such, he should be held accountable and face consequences.

Certain things needed to be communicated to him, to make him aware that his actions had consequences and led to repercussions.

Grace's gaze didn't waver from Horace, awaiting his response.

Horace's expression was serious. The situation had exceeded everyone's expectations, causing great harm to all involved, particularly in terms of interests.

Having lost faith in Brody, he felt more anger than sorrow. Horace stated, "There's no right or wrong, what may appear as entertainment for others is a serious matter for you. It may be beneficial to communicate and shed light on certain aspects, especially regarding Armstrong Corp's situation, as we all know the current state remains undisclosed externally."

"We'll convene a brief meeting with the company's executives and minor shareholders, as a formal response by the Armstrong family. As for any subsequent matters, it's up to you to handle, I won't provide explanations to anyone further on this matter."

Grace, looking pale, knew the family situation affected her well-being. Camille stayed silent, agreeing with Grace's sentiments.

Horace nodded lightly, saying nothing more. His countenance remained solemn. He instructed Camille and Grace to sit for a while while he arranged for his secretary to contact the attendees to arrive at Armstrong Corp promptly.

In response to Grace's message, he had already arranged calls for some distant shareholders and executives. The meeting wouldn't be lengthy, but he was concerned about Grace's well-being, so he had food brought to them in half an hour, personally carrying it back to the office.

Camille and Grace were engrossed in conversation when he entered. Their eyes naturally fell on him. Horace said, "Eat first, it might require energy later."

He intended to imply to Grace that she probably hadn't eaten. Camille and even Grace knew this unsaid concern. Although she didn't want anyone to worry or be troubled, even Horace or Camille, she was aware of their concerns. While things seemed better now, the politeness she displayed during their initial acquaintance was exceptional.

At times, Horace felt helpless thinking about it.

He packed Grace's favorite foods. Camille and Grace's smiles confirmed they understood. Camille remarked, "Mr. Burris is truly considerate."

Grace blushed instantly, feeling a bit embarrassed. Horace just smiled lightly and asked, "Mrs. Simpson, are you teasing me?"

Calling her Mrs. Simpson left Camille momentarily speechless, signaling that she didn't wish to continue. Though others had used that title, it felt somewhat uncomfortable when familiar people addressed her that way.

The trio had a simple meal before the arrival of around fifteen people.

Armstrong Corp had been predominantly owned by the Armstrong family, but the old Armstrong distributed shares among several individuals who had accompanied him on the journey of establishing Armstrong Corp. These shares were essential for the company's operation and came with agreements preventing their transfer under any circumstances.
