My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1595: Idle

Simpson Group.

After the meeting, everyone left one after another.

However, Horace, as usual, drove around for a while before coming back.

This was something he and Ayan had agreed upon from the start. No matter when, if they had something to discuss privately, they needed to put on a show. They didn't want others to know about their persona relationship, even if it wouldn't harm anyone.

Horace returned to Simpson Group and took the elevator to Ayan's office. Ayan had already asked Kian to prepare coffee.

Once Horace sat down, Ayan put down his work and joined him.

Horace looked at Ayan, assessing his emotional state. He asked, "Mr. Simpson, were you sincere in what you just said to Mario?"

"Do you think I was pretending?" Ayan replied indifferently.

With a faint smile, he continued, "He made that proposal. If we all rejected it, it would be easy for him to see that we were colluding. If any unexpected events happen in the future, he would be prepared to distance himself."

The only way was to choose to support him. Only then could they briefly trust each other and continue with the project.

The most feared thing in cooperation is mutual distrust. There can be suspicion, but not mutual distrust and doubt.

Once doubt and distrust arise, it becomes very difficult to continue. Even if it does continue, the process will be extremely torturous.

So instead of enduring future torment or trouble, it's better to throw all the problems at Mario now. Ayan had also decided that he would gradually remove Simpson Group from the SynergyCon project. This way, if any unexpected or negative events occur in the future, they would have nothing to do with Simpson Group.

This was his original plan. He only involved Simpson Group initially because he didn't fully trust Mr. Nores and Mario.

Now things were different. Everything was on track, and he no longer needed to waste extra time on the SynergyCon project.

Especially since Camille would join once the interior decoration started. He didn't want any conflicts with Camille over work matters. So it was better to withdraw completely and let Mario earn money and give him dividends. It would be more relaxed and save a lot of trouble.

Ayan briefly explained his thoughts to Horace, who fell into a short contemplation after listening.

Horace asked, "Are you worried about Camille joining and the external opinions about her, or do you simply not want the SynergyCon project to affect Simpson Group?"

"I don't want to answer that question. No matter how I say it, it won't sound right. Whether I step down or not doesn't affect the SynergyCon project. Even if I step down, Simpson Group still holds shares in the project. You don't need to worry about that."

Ayan knew Horace was concerned whether he had discovered some inside information, which was why he insisted on stepping down.

Horace nodded lightly and said, "Since you've decided, I can only support you silently. As for how to handle the SynergyCon project in the end, we don't know yet. But I want to ask, given the current progress, will the final outcome be beneficial or harmful to us?"

"If I said I didn't know, would you believe me?" Ayan leaned back on the sofa, slightly raising his eyelids to look at Horace.

There was no extra emotion in his eyes, making it hard for Horace to capture any useful information.

Horace chuckled and said, "Whether I believe it or not depends on Mr. Simpson's lead."

Ayan smiled and said, "If there are no unexpected events, the SynergyCon project's prospects are quite good. But don't lose other projects for this one. Even if this project's prospects are promising, it might also make Armstrong Corp well-known in Hance City's business circle. But even in such a situation, you still need to stay steady."

This was Ayan's final advice and also his most sincere one.

Armstrong Corp had not had it easy in recent years. Most of its progress was due to Horace's efforts and help from friends. Horace understood this well, as did others.

So faced with Ayan's advice, Horace

nodded heavily and said, "I understand Mr. Simpson's point. Rest assured, I will do my utmost to protect Armstrong Corp and prioritize it without harming

Simpson Group's intent

Ayan knew that Horace meant what he said.

After discussing the SynergyCon project, they moved on to the main topic of why Horace had returned after leaving.

Armstrong Corp started with interior

materials for real estate. The

factory's technology was Armstrong Corp's core asset. Even though

Elijah had dug many pits for

Armstrong Corp over the year.net

almost leading it to bankruptcy, Brody never revealed Armstrong Corp's core technology. This showed how important it was.

Many companies doing interior materials now were better developed than Armstrong Corp, but some materials still needed to be sourced from Armstrong Corp. This was Brody's main point of pride. It was also what attracted Horace initially.

Ayan shared his thoughts with Horace and said, "Securing this project would make Armstrong Corp the client, giving it a good start for future development."

Horace nodded in understanding but was somewhat surprised. "I have a question."

"First of all, I'm not saying you shouldn't introduce me to projects. I'm just curious about what you gain from this?"

"I gain the satisfaction of teaching someone a lesson," Ayan replied honestly to Horace without hiding anything. He always dealt with people rather than matters. Since he introduced Horace to the project willingly, he was sincere about it.

After explaining his purpose and gains, Horace smiled and said, "Alright, I'll follow your lead."

"You won't lose on this project. Now that we have nothing much left with the SynergyCon project, do you really want to be idle?" Ayan said calmly.

Horace originally planned to spend some idle time abroad with Grace but now saw that it might have to be postponed.

The project Ayan introduced Horace

to was a collaboration with Jenson aimed at setting a trap for Preston Only by involving Armstrong Corp would Preston be genuinely interested because involving a company related to Camille and Ayan would reassure him,

After all, in a collaboration, if nothing happens to one party, nothing happens to others either. If something happens to one party, others can't escape either. Ayan had thoroughly understood Preston's mindset.

They discussed for over an hour before finishing. It was still early for lunch, so Horace left Simpson Group directly and returned to Armstrong Corp. After Horace left, Kian entered the office to report work.

Ayan spoke first: "I've introduced a partner to Jenson. Have Jenson contact Horace through normal procedures."

"Are you planning to involve Armstrong Corp in Jenson's project? Won't this drag Armstrong Corp down when wrapping up?" Kian asked worriedly.
