Chapter 910
He, too, believed that the root of VQ Group’s crisis was Bryan’s salary. Handling that would make everything else a breeze. He didn’t dare take this to Bryan directly; that was why he sought out Eileen instead.
Eileen nibbled on a piece of toast, her gaze sliding over to Bryan, who was patiently feeding Gabriela.
Dressed in a black shirt, Bryan exuded cool detachment, but his gentle care for Gabriela made him irresistibly appealing.
“Are you smiling?” Bryan asked without lifting his head, sensing her eyes on him.
Her gaze was so intense.
If they were in bed, he wouldn’t last two seconds under such a look.

An anonymous source revealed that after graduating from university, Jessica had held a prominent post as the director of Vazquez Group, with a six-figure salary to boot.
Thus, even though the three of them didn’t fully run the Vazquez Group, they had been getting money from it.
Now that they were ousted from VQ Group, the public cheered their departure.
As Eileen and Bryan garnered public interest, some media outlets sensationalized the news with headlines like “Mrs. Dawson is actually still alive!”
In a remote, desolate house on the outskirts of Alverton, a figure stood, eyes glued to the news about Eileen and Bryan on the phone. A slow, crooked smile spread across the person’s face.
