?Chapter 925:


    Eileen had stayed with Le for two days, but the pressure from Bryan’s work obligations had been relentless. Raymond had been hounding Bryan to return to VQ Group, practically calling him every five minutes.


    After all, apart from VQ Group, Bryan had also left the matters of Group and Apex Group to Raymond.


    Frustrated by the incessant calls, Bryan finally muted his phone.


    “Shouldn’t you be heading back? Why are you still here?” Eileen asked, eyeing his silenced phone. She could imagine how anxious Raymond must be now.


    Bryan’s response was surprisingly serious.


    “Why should I? I can’t be with my wife and child and go back, and I’m not even getting paid.”


    Eileen could only stare at him, momentarily speechless. His threat was as direct as a de. Knowing full well she couldn’t cover his sry, he made it clear he intended to drag her back with him.


    “You’re not getting paid?” Le rushed over.


    “Is it VQ Group? Is its condition really that bad?” Le asked. “Eileen, you should head back to thepany. Don’t waste time staying here with me!”


    Eileen quickly moved to reassure Le. “It’s not as serious as it sounds. Everyone’s getting paid, I promise.”


    But Le wasn’t convinced.


    “I know I’ve said over and over that nothing is more important than moving your mother’s body back to the ancestral cemetery. But now that she has beenid to rest, we can’t let VQ Group fall apart.”

    Eileen caught the undercurrent in her words—Le was determined not to lose anything now.


    Sensing an opportunity, Bryan quickly added, “Don’t worry. With Eileen by my side, VQ Group is in good hands. Why don’t youe stay with us in the city? It’s too far to stay here. Besides, Eileen and Gabri would love to spend more time with you.”


    His suggestion, cleverly disguised as concern, aimed to prevent any future excuses for Eileen to return here alone. Eileen, moved after years confined to the Vazquez Mansion, found the idea of a change of scenery appealing. She agreed to go to the city with Bryan and the others.


    Bryan wasted no time in setting things up. He had the apartment prepared in advance, leaving a bright, sunny bedroom on the first floor just for Le. He even arranged for two of the Vazquez Mansion’s servants toe along to ensure Gabri would be well cared for. This way, Eileen could focus on going to thepany with him.


    The next morning, as soon as Eileen settled into the car, sleep imed her. Her long ck hair cascaded over her face, her head tilted in slumber.


    When they reached thepany, Bryan gently scooped Eileen up and carried her to the elevator, taking her straight to the top floor. He tiptoed into the lounge and carefullyid her down. Eileen didn’t wake up.


    Hourster, Eileen stirred, momentarily disoriented. The soft sound of ringing from beyond the lounge door slowly brought her back to reality.
