Chapter 824:

Rhett was left speechless. Conroy quickly whispered to Bryan, “Dawson, I apologize for not informing you beforehand. As Rhett said earlier, Eileen is indeed my long-lost daughter. As her father, I was looking for a suitable match for her. I have a close relationship with Rhett, so I arranged for her to meet Everett.” He emphasized that his relationship with Rhett was good.

Logically, as an outsider, Bryan should not have gotten involved and should have smoothed things over after criticizing Everett. However, Bryan chose not to. He looked somewhat surprised and asked, “Are you really Miss Curtis’ biological father, Mr. Finch?”

“Of course,” Conroy responded immediately.

“Oh,” Bryan said calmly. He then turned to Eileen and inquired, “Have you acknowledged this man as your father?”

Eileen considered it and realized she had not.

Conroy had only assumed the role of her father in public, maintaining a distant demeanor in private. They shared no heartfelt father-daughter interactions.

“If you haven’t, I suggest you think it over,” Bryan advised, his fingers drumming on the table. “A stepfather using you as a bargaining tool is expected, but a biological father doing the same indicates he does not view you as his daughter. You might want to reconsider acknowledging him as your father.”

Conroy was left speechless, sitting there stunned, unable to process what he had just heard.

Updates loaded at gαlησνe𝓁s․com How had a simple matchmaking session turned into a debate about whether Eileen acknowledged him as her father?

Eileen nodded earnestly, affirming Bryan’s advice.

“Thank you, Mr. Dawson, for the reminder. But rest assured, I only acknowledge the Vazquez family.”

Her statement was not deception; she was publicly known as a member of the Vazquez family, not specifically as Conroy’s daughter.

“But,” Rhett furrowed his brow at Conroy, “Mr. Finch, what’s happening? Is she your daughter?”

“Yes, she is,” Conroy quickly said, then smiled at Bryan. “Mr. Dawson, you might not be fully aware of our family dynamics. Let’s focus. Today is about Eileen and Everett. How about we three step aside and talk business? We’re almost done here. What do you say?”

Bryan stood up, grabbed his coat from the chair, and pulled Eileen to her feet, draping an arm around her as he escorted her from the room.

His cold voice filled the room. “I’m not interested in discussing anything further. My daughter is tired; it’s time I took her home.”

Raymond quickly dressed Gabriela, grabbed her little milk bottle, and followed, muttering under his breath, “Daughter is tired, but why are you escorting your wife out?”

He was perspiring from the haste. By the time he reached them, Bryan was already in the car with Eileen.

“Mr. Dawson, I was afraid you’d forgotten about the baby,” Raymond said, holding Gabriela. He knew Bryan wouldn’t have waited for him if he hadn’t been with Gabriela.
