Chapter 917
The glow of Bryan’s cigar was unmistakable, and just then, a car appeared on the horizon, speeding toward him.
The man behind the wheel slowed down when he noticed Bryan sitting atop the car. He narrowed his eyes. “Bryan?”
Straightening up, he peered into Bryan’s car, muttering to himself, “Eileen’s not here, but that’s irrelevant. I’ll see her soon.”
Bryan got off the roof of his car and asked the rescuers to remain. As he stood by the roadside, he saw a private car slow down and drive past him at a cautious pace.
The man in the car gazed at Bryan with an unflinching stare. Bryan felt there was something vaguely familiar about him.
The rescue team took Bryan to the Vazquez Mansion, where they towed his car away for repairs.
In the dead of night, while Eileen and Gabriela slumbered peacefully in the darkened room, Eileen’s ankle was suddenly grasped, causing her to gasp.
The next second, Bryan swooped in and covered Eileen’s mouth with his hand.
“If you want to flee, you should go somewhere far away. Don’t let me catch up to you.”
“I didn’t need to,” Eileen said, her pulse racing. She turned her neck to the side, evading Bryan’s hand, and asked, “What are you doing here in the dead of night?”
“I came to ask for my salary,” Bryan declared with conviction.
“You didn’t give me one million, and you disappeared. Do you think I’m so gullible?”

Knowing she had been caught, Eileen felt a bit awkward and whimpered, “Please, be gentle.”
After being forced out of the Vazquez Mansion, Conroy and Gianna suffered another blow when the Vazquez family repossessed Conroy’s house in the city.
After all, it had been bought with the money of the Vazquez family.
Fortunately, Leyla showed mercy and spared Kinsey’s home, recognizing that Kinsey had no involvement in the situation.
But the extent of Kinsey’s kindness, and the depth of Gianna and Conroy’s shamefulness, surpassed Leyla’s expectations.
Kinsey’s house became a refuge for Gianna and Conroy, who took up residence there. Later, Jessica also joined them after her house was repossessed.
Kinsey relocated to an apartment complex, renting a unit, and simultaneously embarked on a new career path at the Gonzalez Group, starting from an entry-level position as arranged by Sariyah’s father.
The entry-level employees at the company faced numerous challenges and were paid meager salaries, which made it difficult for Kinsey to even cover the apartment’s rent. But Gianna remained indifferent to his struggles. Her thoughts were consumed by how to get back to her luxurious life. She asked Conroy, “You mentioned receiving a message from an unknown individual? He even said he could help you? Who is he?”
“I don’t know,” Conroy replied. “He’s young, and I can’t say he’s reliable.” Conroy had only met the mysterious man once, during which the man had offered him a sum of one million and requested information about Bryan and Eileen.
In particular, the man had carefully inquired about Eileen’s real identity.
