Chapter 765
With a disdainful smile, Eileen grabbed her bag and lifted Gabriela into her arms. Gabriela, hearing the argument, froze with her toy car in hand. Her wide eyes locked on Jessica.
After being picked up by Eileen, Gabriela huffed at Jessica before turning her head away in irritation. Gabriela’s evident anger brought a smile of amusement to Eileen’s face.
While Eileen settled into the car and buckled Gabriela’s seatbelt, she noticed the little girl’s cheeks were puffed with anger. Unable to resist, Eileen leaned in and placed a tender kiss on Gabriela’s cheek. “Don’t be upset, sweetheart. Mommy’s not angry at all,” Eileen said.
“Angry?” Gabriela echoed, mimicking the word. She extended her tiny arm and pointed outside. Eileen played a song through the car’s speaker, and Gabriela started waving her hands and feet in joy with the music, finally forgetting her anger.
Unfortunately, Eileen had forgotten to save Dolores’ phone number. If she wanted to see Dolores again, she would have to rely on another stroke of luck.
Eileen recalled how Dolores had appeared scared when she spotted Jessica. She suspected that Dolores knew Jessica, too.
Jessica watched Eileen’s car accelerate away. After a while, she retrieved her phone and dialed a number. As she walked, she spoke into the phone, “Conroy, you need to help me! If you don’t do something now, Eileen might push me to my breaking point. You assured me a role in overseeing Mr. Dawson’s matters, yet now you can’t control Eileen, and she’s trampling all over me. Do you even care about me anymore?”
“Calm down. The issue with Eileen is more complex than it seems. I haven’t had the chance to explain everything to you yet. Just be patient, and we’ll find a solution,” Conroy responded, his tone a mix of anxiety and resolve. Gianna had just called him moments ago to report that Leyla was improving rapidly, so he needed to act quickly.

Upon arriving home, Eileen told Bryan that she had encountered Dolores.
“Do you think Kinsey married Dolores because of some stipulations from the Vazquez family regarding having children? Maybe it’s a strategy to secure the family assets?” Eileen speculated.
Without raising his head, Bryan replied, “The Vazquez family is quite prominent in Alverton. Their inheritance rules are straightforward: daughters inherit, not sons. Therefore, Kinsey didn’t marry Dolores to benefit from her, but likely has some other schemes involving Dolores.”
In other words, Dolores’ child wouldn’t provide Kinsey with any advantage within the Vazquez family.
“The situation with wealthy families is always so intricate,” Eileen remarked.
“In the next life, we should be reborn into a regular family together. We’d manage on a modest income. As long as we have enough to eat, everything will be fine.”
“You have a knack for drawing wealth and prosperity into your life,” Bryan smiled. “Even if we’re reborn into an ordinary family, I’ll still find myself wealthy and influential because of you.”
Eileen pondered for a while. Then she said to Bryan, “In that case, I’ll pass my good fortune to someone else and help them become a bit wealthier. You don’t need it.”
Bryan’s smile faded slightly as he showed his discontent. He set his papers aside, walked over to her, and encircled her from behind as she sat on the sofa.
