?Chapter 1365:


    Eileen wrapped her slender arms around Bryan’s neck, and her lips curled into a yful smile. “But they won’t capture how happy I am, nor will I get to see how good you look when you get back at them.”


    Bryan couldn’t refuse her, especially when her eyes twinkled as she spoke. He lifted her from the bed and said, “Alright. I’ll take you with me.”


    Eileen quickly styled her hair into a bun and chose a loose-fitting dress that subtly hid her pregnancy. She followed Bryan, who was sharply dressed in a suit. There were many people at the press conference. Eileen and Bryan slipped in through the back door. As they entered, a wave of reporters surged forward but was promptly held back by bodyguards.


    Bryan kept Eileen close as they made their way to their seats and turned their attention to the stage. Javier upied the center spot with Sanford beside him.


    Sanford had a noticeable bruise on his cheek. Sanford nced at Bryan and quickly averted his eyes. Leandro was also there. When no one else was looking, he gave Bryan a subtle nod to acknowledge his presence.


    Five minutester, the press conference officiallymenced. Javier engaged in some small talk before saying, “The gentleman beside me is a high-ranking executive among the business elite. I’m sure many of you recognize him. About two months ago, he made a switch to…”


    Bryan suddenly raised his hand and interjected, “Allow me to correct that. The Deleon Group poached him with an offer of double the base sry. He did not leave voluntarily to join the Deleon Group.” The rification was crucial.


    Rumors about key EB Group executives being lured away by the Deleon Group had circted. Since this was the first public confirmation, everyone was intrigued.


    Unfazed by the interruption, Javier continued, “This only means the Deleon Group values talent. We just believed he was useful here. So—”


    “Are you suggesting he was useless at the EB Group? That only by joining the Deleon Group could his potential be realized?” Bryan crossed his legs and rhythmically tapped the table with his fingers. His tone was light, yet there was a sharpness to it. “Mr. Deleon, let’s not evade the issue. Yourpany’s approach to recruiting our staff may not be illegal, but it’s hical.”


    Javier hesitated.


    “You wouldn’t deny that, would you?” Bryan opened his arms and took in the room with his gaze. “Everyone in this industry understands these norms. If you don’t believe me, feel free to ask around. Isn’t what you did hical?”


    Javier was momentarily at a loss for words. If he wanted to introduce the topic of Bryan’s wrongdoings, he had to acknowledge his own hical actions first.


    Javier’s face darkened. “The leader of the Deleon Group at that time might have acted inappropriately while I was overseas. I’d like to apologize to you for that, Mr. Dawson.” Bryan’s lips curled slightly as he looked down at his sped hands. Nobody could tell what he was thinking. “Before I returned to the country, I’d heard about Mr. Dawson’s formidable reputation. Now, I can say the rumors are true. I never expected Mr. Jensen to be a spy sent by Mr. Dawson. Last night, he attempted to break into my office to steal my n for a project. That, undoubtedly, is a crime.” Javier regained hisposure and continued, “Mr. Dawson, did you ask him to do that or did he act on his own?”


    Javier’s strategic questioning ced Bryan in a tough position.
