?Chapter 691:


    This way, even if hecked the strength to hold it, the figurine wouldn’t fall off the bed.


    Then, Eileen stood up and headed to the bathroom to fetch a basin of water to wipe Bryan’s body.


    No sooner had she left the room than Bryan’s hand—still warm against his skin—twitches. The figurine slipped from his grip and rolled off the bed’s edge, hitting the floor with a soft thud.


    Hearing the sound, Eileen turned around abruptly.


    Eileen returned slowly to the bedside and looked at the figurine lying on the floor.


    She hesitantly touched Bryan’s defined arm, which remained unresponsive.


    Her eyes then shifted to his face, which still exuded a dignified aura, even in his unconscious state.


    He still hadn’t awakened.


    But how had the figurine, which she had securely ced in his hand, ended up on the floor?


    A frown creased Eileen’s forehead as she noticed Bryan’s fingers—slightly curled but still unmoving.


    A flicker of disappointment crossed her eyes. She retrieved the figurine and carefully ced it back in his hand, then went to the bathroom to fetch some water to wipe him down.


    As theunch date for the new product neared, the pressure from the shareholders intensified.


    Meanwhile, Raymond was deep in his investigation when those targeting Eileen made their move, setting a meeting with her at the Venezia Hotel at seven in the evening.

    “Ms. Curtis, I believe this is a setup. We should be cautious,” Raymond urged, advising Eileen to reconsider attending the meeting.


    Eileen eyed the unfamiliar number on her phone and asked, “Who owns the Venezia Hotel?”


    “The Mueller family,” Raymond replied quickly. Being well-versed in Onnd’s businessndscape, he immediately connected the dots.


    A realization dawned on him. “Could Jonathan be orchestrating this?”


    “People tend to target you when you’re down. Often, the first to strike is someone who’s been nursing a grudge against EB Group for years,” Eileen replied.


    It wasmon knowledge that Bryan had founded EB Group. Though he hadter handed it over to Eileen, his influence still lingered.


    Moreover, Eileen was firmly on Bryan’s side.


    Anything associated with him was likely a thorn in Jonathan’s side.


    Previously, Jonathan might have hesitated to act, but now…


    “Still, Jonathan couldn’t pull this off alone,” Eileen said, her eyes narrowing as she pondered. “Brandon.”


    Many of EB Group’s top brass had once been underlings at Apex Group. Only Brandon had the ability to reach out and sway them.
