?Chapter 354:


    With Eileen away, Julio’s responsibilities had grown. They often made crucial decisions over the phone, with Eileen offering sharp insights to steer him. Now that she was back, Julio was ready to pass the baton.


    “Kaysen has thrown the Freguson family into disarray. It’s the ideal time to act. I’ll leave it to you,” Benjamin added.


    Julio faced much skepticism within the Freguson family due to his controversial reputation. Despite being in control now, he still faced significant criticism. He saw this as an opportunity to consolidate his position and extend his influence within the Freguson family during their current vulnerability.


    “Okay,” Eileen agreed, despite the daunting stack of paperwork before her.


    After a brief pause, she added, “I’ve prepared a card for Dalores. Give it to her and tell her to leave Onnd.”


    Benjamin slid a ck card across the desk toward Eileen.


    After a brief hesitation, Eileen picked up the card. “I’ll deliver it and ry your message, but I can’t promise she’ll agree to leave.”


    “Try your best to convince her. It’s a crucial time for us, and I can’t have any distractions,” Julio asserted firmly before he departed.


    Eileen held the card in her hand, contemting for a moment before dialing Dalores toe to work the next day. This was a conversation that needed to happen face-to-face.


    She continued working until 9 pm, bombarded with messages throughout the day. Bryan’s messages were overly affectionate, saying things like, “Eileen, I miss you.”


    However, Josue’s messages were full ofints:

    “Bryan held Gabri for less than five minutes before passing her back.”


    “He acts as if she owes him money.”


    “He even said she isn’t adorable at all.”


    Josue’s texts wereden with dissatisfaction towards Bryan, which both amused and annoyed Eileen.


    However, she was curious to see if Bryan trulycked the ability to find Gabri adorable.


    For several days, Eileen left early and returnedte. She would have dinner with Bryan without even heading upstairs before departing again.


    Bryan attempted to catch her a few times but was unsessful. Their nned visit to see Ruby was postponed due to Eileen’s hectic schedule.


    Bryan felt something was amiss, almost as if he were caught in some sort of trap, especially with Josue’s evident schadenfreude.


    After a few days, Bryan felt he had been nearly driven to madness.
