Chapter 684:
Eileenâs eyes widened in surprise at Julioâs words. The last time she had seen Dalores was when Julio had arranged everything for her. Eileen had met her at the villa. Dalores had made it clear that she wanted to give birth to the baby before making any decisions. Why, then, would she run away?
âShe had nothing on her at the time of her disappearanceâno money, nothing. That makes it impossible for her to have left Onaland,â Julioâs voice was full of worry. âDalores is a woman near her due date, on the run with no money. What if something bad happened to her?â
This thought troubled him deeply.
âKeep searching for her. Look into anyone she contacted before her disappearance,â Eileen said firmly.
Julio looked up abruptly, surprised. âWhat do you mean by that?â
He had not stopped Dalores from having contact with the outside world. She had been obedient and had not caused any trouble. However, according to the nanny, Dalores would sometimes make and receive calls and then return to her room.
The recollection of this information gave Julio a thoughtful pause. âIâll look into it. If she contacts you, let me know immediately. Iâll leave company matters to you for now,â he said, his intention clearâhe would search for Dalores himself.
âAlright,â Eileen replied.
âHowâs Mr. Dawson doing? He seemed fine at the wedding two days ago. How did he suddenly fall into a coma?â Julio asked, his concern growing.
Only those close to Eileen and Bryan knew about Bryanâs condition. But since Eileen had been at the hospital these past few days, no one had asked her about Bryanâs situation.
âHeâs okay. Heâll wake up soon,â Eileen said.

He patted Eileenâs shoulder comfortingly and said, âIf you need any help, let me know.â
âThank you,â Eileen replied gratefully.
Less than five minutes after Eileen returned to her office, her assistant rushed in. âMs. Curtis, thereâs been an accident at the construction site.â
Eileen, who had been working on some documents, froze for a moment.
âTake me there right now,â she said.
Now that Bryan was in a coma and Dalores was missing, the accident at the site was yet another addition to the string of misfortunes.
Eileen and her assistant hurriedly made their way to the construction site.
The accident had resulted in the death of one person. The deceasedâs family was holding onto the body, making threats, and refusing to let the authorities investigate.
âI want to see the person in charge. I want to speak to them personally. If not, Iâll blow up this place!â
The deceased was a woman.
