?Chapter 1356:


    If they made too much noise searching for Milford, it might draw unwanted attention from Amoura and Presley, and that was a risk she couldn’t afford to take.


    Bryan finished unwrapping the doll, and no sooner had thest piece of packaging fallen to the floor than Gabri hurled herself at the doll, giggling. She stroked its soft eyshes and patted its head, her joy evident.


    Bryan’s expression softened as he watched his daughter. Then, he turned to Eileen. “The Deleon Group has been caught up in several major projectstely. I doubt they’ll have time to stir up trouble for us. You should focus on your pregnancy and let me handle the rest.”


    After a while, Bryan left to attend to some work.


    Eileen’s days fell into a pleasant rhythm, filled with ytime with Gabri and heart-to-heart chats with Ruby. Before she knew it, nearly a week had passed.


    The Deleon Group’s flurry of activity had not gone unnoticed, even making headlines. Their fric pace was evident to everyone — so much so that even Amoura found herself swept up in the whirlwind of activity.


    Before Christmas, when Amoura had visited the Dawson Mansion, she had faced humiliation, and Javier had vowed to get back at the Dawson family for her. However, once the holiday ended andpany activities resumed, Javier found himself tangled in a flurry of meetings and project updates, leaving no time to fulfill his promise of vengeance.


    Amoura had subtly reminded Javier of the matter during several meals, but Javier always dismissed her concerns, saying, “Don’t worry. We’ll handle it one step at a time.”

    Moreover, Javier had assigned Amoura the task of finding a new wife for Colby. Focused solely on this mission, Amoura grew increasingly frustrated. Could it be that Javier was reluctant to confront Bryan and was simply using excuses to dy the matter? Was he avoiding a conflict with Bryan altogether?


    These thoughts left Amoura feeling more frustrated. Nheless, she managed to have Javier appoint Raymond as her aide. Raymond, who had previously been an assistant to the CEO, was now serving as Amoura’s personal assistant.


    “Any updates on Presley recently?” Amoura asked.


    Raymond, who had been standing stiffly in the corner, moved forward respectfully and said, “She attended the EB Group’s annual meeting but was promptly kicked out. Since then, she has beenying low at home.”


    “What was her reason for attending the EB Group’s annual meeting?” Amoura’s expression turned grave. She knew Presley well; Presley was too proud to subject herself to humiliation without cause. Since Presley had attended the meeting, she must have had a solid strategy in mind aimed at dealing with Eileen.


    Raymond shook his head. “I don’t know. Should I look into it?”


    Amoura’s displeasure grew. She had repeatedly stressed the importance of keeping tabs on Presley to Raymond. She found it hard to believe that Raymond, who had worked as Bryan’s assistant for years, had not taken the initiative to investigate further.
