Chapter 1059:
âThe yard is covered by CCTV cameras. Please think twice before making any moves,â Eileen said.
She knew Kamila and Jaliyah wanted to stir up trouble. Kamila would get hurt and shift the blame to Eileen. The matter of them apologizing to Eileen would be ignored, and they could even force Eileen to apologize. Kamila felt humiliated and irritated now. The sudden exposure of Jaliyahâs fake pregnancy had left her reeling, and she hadnât even fully processed it yet.
While she had been trying to come to terms with all of this, Jaliyah had proposed a silly plan, and she had impulsively gone along with it. Now, she had made another mistake.
âEnough!â Keith couldnât stand it anymore. He approached them and cautioned in a low voice, âDonât embarrass yourselves further. Go home now!â
Jaliyah was taken aback by Keithâs unusual display of anger, and she wisely chose to remain silent.
Kamila, angry at being rebuked in public, shot back, âIf youâre playing peacemaker, you must consider the Aston familyâs reputation. Jaliyahâs actions will reflect on our familyâs reputation!â
âSo, itâs only your reputation that matters, huh? Eileen also has her reputation to consider, you know?â Keith said angrily. âWe are in the wrong here! In three days, you two will apologize to Eileen together. Thatâs final. Now, leave!â
âNo way!â Kamila shot Eileen a fierce glance and then declared to Keith, âYou expect me to apologize to her? Iâd rather die than do that!â
Then, she turned around and stormed off.
Jaliyah glared at Eileen and then ran after Kamila.
âMr., itâs getting late. We need to head back to the Vazquez Mansion now.â Eileen turned around and got into Bryanâs car.
Keith approached the car, leaned in through the open window, and said, âEileen, I promise to make things right for you. I apologize for causing you trouble today.â
After a momentâs thought, Eileen lowered the window fully and said, âForget it. Iâm heading back to Onalande soon anyway. Whether they apologize or not is irrelevant. As long as you help me clear up the situation and address the media, thatâs sufficient.â
Eileen knew that if she stayed, Kamila would never leave her alone. For Keithâs sake, she decided to leave.
Keith gripped the car handle tightly. âYou are leaving? Youâve made up your mind about this? What about your grandma?â
âIâm going to take Grandma with me.â Noticing the intense emotions in Keithâs gaze, Eileen added, âThe VQ Groupâs affairs have been adequately addressed. Weâll make occasional visits here in the future, but our stays will be brief.â
âSo⦠you wonât live here anymore?â Keith said in a lonely tone.
His relationship with Eileen had become quite awkward now. Going forward, whenever Eileen returned, she wouldnât be able to invite him to a one-on-one gathering. This meant that he was unlikely to see Eileen in the future.
After a prolonged silence, he exhaled heavily and relaxed his grasp on the door handle. âAlright, you can head back now. In three days, Iâll arrange for a press conference to apologize to you.â
