Chapter 545:
Gabriela had become deeply attached to Eileen. She would get upset when separated from her, even briefly, making it difficult for Bryan to help care for her.
Eileen worried that Bryan might blame himself even more if she didnât allow him to help. After thinking for a moment, she said, âAlright, but be cautious if you go. I heard from my mom that when you went to save Gabriela, you reached an agreement with Coen, which is why Coen let my mom leave with Gabriela. What did you promise him?â
It had only been two days and two nights since the incident, but it felt like an eternity. Eileenâs mind was cluttered with unresolved issues.
âHe⦠He just wanted me to step aside for Travis and leave the Dawson family,â Bryan explained. Then, he added, âThat Christos you know is likely Coenâs son, Travis.â
Eileen was taken aback. âHeâs mixed-race?â
Bryan nodded. âYes, itâs apparent he isnât the biological son of Brandon and Lydia because heâs mixed-race. They kept him hidden for twenty years, too scared to make him appear in public. Despite all our digging, we only found a photo and couldnât verify if the person in the photo was indeed Travis.â
When they established that Travisâ biological father was Coen, Bryan became convinced that the âgood friendâ Christos, whom Eileen had mentioned, was actually Travis.
âHe helped me before,â Eileen said, puzzled. âIf heâs Travis, why did he help me?â
âHe doesnât want to change his identity. He probably hates that Lydia wants to use the Dawson family to create a new identity for him. Now, with Coen in trouble and their true identities revealed, they are on the run,â Bryan replied.
But Christos had remained clean, despite his fatherâs involvement in international crimes.
The police aimed to locate him and keep him under surveillance discreetly, not to arrest him.

âLetâs go see Grandma with Gabriela later today,â Bryan suggested, stroking Eileenâs hand. âGrandma has been asking to see Gabriela. I asked Jarred to keep the incident a secret from her. Otherwise, sheâd be really worried.â
Eileen hesitated to bring Gabriela, who was still unsettled, to meet someone completely new to her. She worried it might frighten Gabriela.
But Bryanâs persuasive presence was too strong for her to refuse him.
âOkay,â Eileen eventually said.
âIâll go to the office first. Once Iâm done, Iâll come pick you up,â Bryan said, kissing Eileen softly.
Eileen slightly closed her eyes in response to his gesture.
But Bryan quickly released her, turned, and walked out of the bedroom.
Work at the EB Group was going smoothly, with Raymond overseeing most operations.
When Bryan arrived, Raymond had just finished dealing with some delicate tasks. Upon seeing Bryan, Raymond followed him into his office.
âMr. Dawson, Iâve already booked your flight for tonight. Iâll go with you,â Raymond said.
