Chapter 988:

Eileen didn’t struggle, realizing that Bryan wasn’t one for words. She believed she would have to wait for a more opportune moment to persuade Raymond.

Despite having moved to the villa with Bryan and Eileen and spending time with Gabriela, Leyla often found herself sighing. She longed to return to the Vazquez Mansion, but she hesitated to leave because it meant she wouldn’t be able to see Eileen and the others every day.

Eileen was aware of Leyla’s desire to return to the Vazquez Mansion, so she made a promise to return and reside in the Vazquez Mansion for a while once the company’s situation became more stable.

However, Eileen was caught off guard when Leyla abruptly packed her belongings and prepared to depart without saying anything to her.

When a servant phoned her at work, telling her about this, Eileen hastened home and asked Leyla what had caused her to want to leave so suddenly.

“I have something to deal with at the mansion. I have to go back,” Leyla said, standing with two suitcases and a delicate woven bag beside her.

Eileen set the car key aside, sat down next to Leyla, and asked, “Didn’t we instruct the staff at the old mansion to direct any visitors seeking you to come to the city? It’s such a long journey for you to go back. How can you go back without any preparation?”

Leyla shook her head and said, “I need to go back and handle something myself.”

The dynamics of the Vazquez family were somewhat complex, and since Eileen had only recently taken the reins of the VQ Group, she wasn’t well-versed in the family’s intricacies.

Seeing that she couldn’t convince Leyla, Eileen said, “Then wait for a while. It’s already evening. I’ll arrange for a camper van and go with you.”

Lаtєst chαptєrs in gɐlnovєls.ϲοm “No!” Leyla refused immediately. “You can’t go back.”

“Why?” Eileen looked at her in surprise.

Leyla paused for a moment before replying, “It’s not that you can’t return, but that you shouldn’t have to. There are too many pressing matters that require your attention here.”

She looked out of the window to avoid Eileen’s gaze.

Eileen gently turned Leyla’s face to face her, saying, “You know that I’m not busy here. If it weren’t for Bryan, I would have spent time with Gabriela and you every day.”

Leyla brushed Eileen’s hand aside and said, “It’s because Bryan’s head over heels for you! I’m proud that you have such a strong hold on someone as powerful as him.”

“I may have influence over Bryan, but I don’t have any power over your actions. You’re willing to leave without even informing me. How can I not feel worried? I don’t care about your objections; if you refuse to let me accompany you, then I won’t let you leave,” Eileen said, grasping Leyla’s wrist.

“Please listen to me. Don’t put me in a difficult position. The Vazquez family matters are complex, and you’re not familiar with them. It’s not in your best interest to return with me now. I can manage the situation effectively, and you can join me later.” Leyla’s expression turned stern as she continued, “If you refuse to listen to me, I’ll be furious. I’ll leave this place, move back to the Vazquez Mansion, and live alone from now on.”

Eileen had never seen Leyla like this before, so she felt compelled to compromise. Despite her compromise, Eileen still organized a camper van and asked a trustworthy driver to drive Leyla back. After Leyla got into the camper van and lay on the bed, Eileen instructed the driver to depart.
