Chapter 1050:

Bryan exited the vehicle and wrapped his arm around her as they walked toward the detention center.

Conroy had been waiting anxiously, his forehead beaded with sweat. The moment he saw Eileen and Bryan approaching, he sprang to his feet and grasped the metal bars, exclaiming, “I knew you’d come!”

“Just spit it out,” Eileen remained standing, clearly indicating she wasn’t interested in engaging in a lengthy conversation with him.

Conroy pleaded, “I’ll compensate for it, I swear! I’ll even sell the house to make it right, okay? Can you withdraw the lawsuit?”

“I’m giving you one final chance to talk. If you blow it, I’m out of here,” Eileen said firmly.

“No!” Conroy beckoned Eileen to come closer and whispered, “No one else should hear this.”

Besides Conroy, Bryan, and Eileen, there were two guards in the room. Sensing the tension, the two guards moved to the corner of the room.

With his arm around Eileen’s waist, Bryan moved forward and looked at Conroy.

“I had my sights set on the Vazquez family’s estate, but it didn’t end up in my hands, right? I admit I did something wrong, but I don’t think I deserve such a harsh penalty. After all, it’s not my fault that you got lost when you were young, Eileen!” Conroy quickly said.

Eileen’s body stiffened, and she instinctively gripped Bryan’s sleeve. “What do you mean by that?”

Conroy’s eyes widened in surprise, and he paused for a moment before asking, “You don’t know this? When you got lost, your mother filed a report at the police station, and they’ve been searching for you while also probing the circumstances surrounding your disappearance over the years. Even after your mother’s passing, the investigation remains ongoing!”

Eileen’s heart sank.

“I can provide some clues,” Conroy said. “I’ll share the clues with you if you agree to drop the lawsuit.”

Noticing Eileen’s distress and furrowed brow, Bryan spoke up. “Your information, Conroy, can be used to extenuate your crime, but it’s not enough for us to drop the lawsuit. Even if someone intentionally made Eileen get lost, it’s too late to dwell on it after all these years.”

“Aren’t you concerned that the person who did this still hasn’t backed down and might try something else?” Conroy asked anxiously.

Bryan raised an eyebrow and replied, “You think we’re scared of that?”

Conroy’s words caught in his throat.

“Whether you choose to speak up or stay silent is entirely up to you. We don’t care either way,” Bryan’s tone was dismissive. Without giving Conroy a chance to speak, he held Eileen’s arm and turned around to leave.

Anxious, Conroy grasped the metal bars and shouted, “Don’t leave! It’s negotiable! I’m willing to negotiate a lower payment or secure an early release from jail!”

Eileen halted, turned around, and stared at Conroy for a few seconds. She shook her head and said, “You need to understand the difference between behaving well to reduce your sentence and negotiating a deal.”
