?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 vi with Bryan and Eileen and spending time with Gabri, Le 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 Le’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 thepany’s situation became more stable.


    However, Eileen was caught off guard when Le 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 Le what had caused her to want to leave so suddenly.


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


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


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


    The dynamics of the Vazquez family were somewhatplex, 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 Le, Eileen said, “Then wait for a while. It’s already evening. I’ll arrange for a camper van and go with you.”

    “No!” Le refused immediately. “You can’t go back.”


    “Why?” Eileen looked at her in surprise.


    Le 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 Le’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 Gabri and you every day.”


    Le 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 apany you, then I won’t let you leave,” Eileen said, grasping Le’s wrist.


    “Please listen to me. Don’t put me in a difficult position. The Vazquez family matters areplex, 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 meter.” Le’s expression turned stern as she continued, “If you refuse to listen to me, I’ll be furious. I’ll leave this ce, move back to the Vazquez Mansion, and live alone from now on.”


    Eileen had never seen Le like this before, so she feltpelled topromise. Despite herpromise, Eileen still organized a camper van and asked a trustworthy driver to drive Le back. After Le got into the camper van andy on the bed, Eileen instructed the driver to depart.
