Chapter 546
“No need for you to do that,” Bryan replied, settling into his seat. His hands were clasped together on the table as he organized his thoughts. “What’s the situation with Zola?”
Raymond quickly replied, “I’ve had someone watching her. She hasn’t left her house in days. However, I discovered that she had dealings with Coen’s men before Eileen was kidnapped.”
“Look for any proof that Zola drove Vivian mad. Send Zola to jail for that. Also, investigate the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Zola’s parents,” Bryan ordered.
Raymond inhaled sharply. “Mr. Dawson, are you implying that Zola’s parents…”
Bryan slowly shook his head. “I’m not sure, just a hunch. But finding something to extend her sentence would be helpful.”
“Understood,” Raymond replied.
“For now, the management of EB Group and Apex Group is in your hands. Call Josue if you need assistance,” Bryan instructed.
As Raymond made notes, he felt something was amiss. “Mr. Dawson, what are you talking about? Can’t I ask you for help if I run into issues? Besides, Ms. Curtis is also available.”
“Just take notes on what I tell you,” Bryan said, briefly using his phone before continuing, “I’ve transferred twenty million to your account. Use it to buy a birthday gift for Gabriela each year, in your name.”
Raymond understood immediately. The transaction notification made his heart sink. “I can’t do that. If you want to send gifts, you should do it yourself.”
“Just do this last favor for me,” Bryan said firmly.
“Then what about Ms. Curtis?” Raymond’s voice was heavy with sorrow.
Bryan paused for a moment before responding, “Sending gifts to her would only bring her pain.”
“Mr. Dawson—” Raymond began.
“That’s enough,” Bryan interjected, leaning back and giving more work-related instructions, leaving no chance for Raymond to speak.
Before he left EB Group, he gave a stern instruction to Raymond. “Keep my location a secret. For anything important, go to Josue; he’ll know what to do.”
With that, Bryan quickly left, driving to pick up Eileen and Gabriela.
Bryan had given a heads-up earlier, so when he arrived with Eileen and Gabriela, everyone was busy preparing a lavish lunch.
Eileen noticed a new children’s play castle in the garden, along with many unpacked toys and clothes in the living room.
As she and Bryan stepped out of the car, Stella emerged from the villa, her eyes fixed on Gabriela in Eileen’s arms. She hurried down the steps.
