Chapter 791
Upon hearing this, Eileen rose with Gabriela, and together with Bryan, they walked into the banquet hall, with Jessica trailing closely behind.
“What if Mr. Finch finds out about this and holds us accountable?” one staff member whispered nervously.
“Are you blind? Mr. Finch is just using us,” another replied. “He didn’t want to cross Mr. Dawson directly. Even if we did block them today, when Mr. Dawson tells him about this, he will just blame us! It’s better to let Miss Marshall take the fall for it. That way, we’re off the hook.”
The staff members exchanged hurried whispers, relieved to have dodged the bullet.
The banquet hall was bustling with guests. Once inside, Eileen quickly excused herself, handing Gabriela over to Bryan under the pretense of needing to use the restroom.
Seizing the moment, Jessica walked over to Bryan. “Mr. Dawson, may I hold your daughter for a while? Eileen shouldn’t have run off like that. You must have so many people to greet, and she just left at the most crucial moment!”
Gabriela seemed to sense the situation. She clung tightly to Bryan’s neck.
Bryan declined Jessica’s offer in a firm tone.
“No, thank you for your offer, Miss Marshall. Please proceed with your duties.” With that, he walked briskly into the crowd.
The sight of the man dressed in a suit and leather shoes, carrying his little one, stood out.
Yet Bryan’s stern expression remained unaffected as he surveyed the area with piercing eyes. Before he could spot Conroy, a group of people approached him with greetings.

Leaving the restroom, Eileen found a secluded corner and texted Lenny, who replied with crying emojis. Lenny explained that Savanna had asked her to come here to drink on her behalf.
While Lenny was not being directly targeted, the situation was far from ideal. She was unable to leave Savanna’s side.
Eileen cautioned Lenny to stay alert and decided that she should find a spot to watch Conroy closely.
“Hey, Miss Curtis.” Dalores nearly called Eileen by her first name. When Eileen glanced in Dalores’ direction, she saw Kinsey approaching. Kinsey’s eyes widened in panic upon seeing Eileen.
He turned to Dalores and asked, “Do you know her?”
“Yes, we live in the same area. I’ve seen her a few times since she’s from Onaland. We’ve had a few conversations.” Just as Dalores finished speaking, she noticed Kinsey distancing himself.
Looking down, she realized he had released her hand. With an expression that was neither clearly pleased nor upset, Kinsey stated, “You can stay here and talk with her for a bit. I’ll go and greet some guests.”
He then nodded at Eileen and turned to walk into the crowd.
He likely went to inform someone.
“Why are you still here?” Eileen asked, taking Dalores’ hand and guiding her to sit down. After a moment of thought, she added, “Tonight is a business gathering. If I’m not mistaken, Julio will be here.”
