Chapter 1083:

After saying that, Leyla straightened up and asked, “Why are you asking this all of a sudden?”

“Someone is deliberately trying to drive a wedge between me and the Aston family. It feels like they’re trying to keep me from returning to Onaland,” Eileen explained. “Or maybe they want to use me to go up against the Aston family.”

Either way, she found herself caught in the middle of this mess.

Leyla thought for a moment. “From an outsider’s perspective, your mother might be seen as the biggest enemy of the Aston family. This is because she consistently refused to…”

She participated in several projects with them and avoided any dealings related to Keith. To the outside world, it seemed like a classic case of love turning into deep resentment.

“We need to address the situation surrounding the Aston family. Otherwise, living peacefully in Onaland might not be possible. The news is practically everywhere now,” Leyla said.

Eileen nodded. “Etyan’s already working on it. If the news can’t be fully suppressed, let it be for now. The Aston family doesn’t reach Onaland, so the gossip will die down on its own.” A clean reputation needed no defending, and after handling public relations issues so many times, Eileen knew this well.

Leyla replied, “That sounds like a solid plan. You know what’s best. I’ll make sure Gabriela is looked after. I’ve heard she likes her grandmother.”

She was referring to Ruby.

Months had passed since they last saw each other, but they kept in touch with Gabriela through video calls, so Gabriela still remembered she had a grandmother and an aunt.

She quickly glanced at Leyla, trying to gauge her reaction.

Leyla’s eyes started to redden as she replied, “Don’t worry about it. She raised you, and it’s clear from now on—grateful both you and Gabriela are that she cared for you well. I’m deeply thankful to her. If she agrees, when I go to Onaland, I’ll gladly acknowledge her as my goddaughter, treat her like my own child, and even buy her new clothes.”

Eileen nodded. Leyla had lost her parents a long time ago. After a brief marriage that ended in divorce, she married Lowell, who also passed away early, leaving her in a difficult situation.

“Even if you don’t make her your goddaughter, she’ll still treat you like family,” Eileen assured, eager to return to Onaland.

In the afternoon, the gossip took a sudden turn. A flood of new rumors began to emerge, hinting that Jaliyah was getting back at Eileen because of the matter of her miscarriage. They also pointed out that Kamila and Keith had remained silent on the issue, while their daughter-in-law had stepped in to disgrace the Aston family.

Some netizens finally couldn’t stand by any longer and began to speak out.

At the Aston family’s home, Kamila grew irritated as she read the comments. Pressing her fingers to her temples, she muttered, “They’re pushing me to prove that Eileen’s trying to ruin my marriage!”

But she knew she couldn’t address the issue in person. She wouldn’t be able to explain anything to Keith.
