Chapter 808:

She got up, pulled her down jacket tighter around her, and exited, carefully avoiding the glass shards on the floor. Conroy and Gianna shivered, watching Eileen leave.

“Why did you suggest that?” Conroy frowned.

“Are you really going to hand over the company to her?”

“Can’t you see what’s going on? She’s only after the cash. Besides, the Vazquez family needs to build alliances, and what better way than through a strategic marriage? We’ll find her a suitable husband from a powerful family, and that’ll keep her in check. If she gets money and a wealthy man by her side, she’ll stop thinking about other things,” Gianna spoke with conviction, her body still trembling from the cold. As she finished, she led Conroy upstairs. “Come on, let’s find another room to get some rest. We need to visit Leyla tomorrow and make sure she doesn’t catch wind of any of this.”

When Eileen returned, Bryan was still engrossed in work.

The moment she entered the study, he sensed that something was on her mind. He paused the video conference, removed his headphones, and folded his hands on the table, looking at her intently.

“How did it go?”

“I caught them red-handed. It’s Gianna,” Eileen said as she sat down across from him. “They’re trying to gaslight me, telling me to take the money and leave. They want me to just forget about the Vazquez family’s fortune.”

Bryan raised an eyebrow. “And how did you respond?”

Eileen gave a sly smile. “Oh, I’m not going anywhere!”

I@te$t ¢#@pter$ In g@!novel$.c0m “Of course not!” Bryan nodded in agreement.

“But then Gianna suggested I learn from her. She said once I’m capable of running the company, she’ll hand the Vazquez family over to me.” Eileen extended her hand, her fingers tapping lightly on the table as she asked, “What do you think they’re really up to?”

Bryan leaned back in his chair, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

After a moment, he said, “If you want to play along with their game, go for it. But if you’re in a hurry, you could always drop the bombshell about the affair. Just remember, your grandmother is still entrenched in the Vazquez family. Stirring up too much trouble could put her in a difficult position.” He could clearly read her thoughts.

That was exactly what Eileen was thinking. She narrowed her eyes and gave him a smile.

“Don’t you want to go back to Onaland?”

Bryan replied, “Grandma’s been in good health lately. Jarred keeps me updated regularly. She’s been visiting the temple and spending time in the mountains. Even if I went back, I wouldn’t be able to see her. I might as well stay here and let you have some fun. But I don’t want to return.”

After all, Eileen had more relatives in Onaland than he did.

Since they had arrived here, they hadn’t been in touch with Roderick. Who knew how he was handling things with Judie?

It seemed like returning wasn’t an option just yet.

Retrieving her phone from her pocket, Eileen spun on her heels and walked out. “I’ll make a few calls. You go ahead and get back to work.”
