Chapter 995
Eileen felt resigned. “Even if getting pregnant is a strategy, it won’t solve the problem that will arise the day after tomorrow. Are you still finding this amusing?”
Seeing Bryan relax on the sofa with a smile, Eileen suddenly thought of a plan. She decided she would go with the Brown family’s people tomorrow and see if Bryan would become worried then.
“Come over here; I want to show you something,” Bryan said as he straightened up, turned on his laptop, and positioned it in front of her.
Early that morning, Raymond had sent Bryan the latest findings on the Brown family. The Brown family’s two sons had achieved great success in both politics and business over the years. They were figures no one dared to cross. Comparing the two, the one in politics, whom the Brown family wanted Eileen to marry, was the more influential one.
Maybe due to the immense power of the family and their concern about causing trouble for their younger generation, no one had seen their children in public. The man in politics was Benicio Brown.
Benicio, now in his early thirties, had been privately tutored from a young age and had never attended a regular school. He had later attended a university abroad, where he spent several years earning his doctorate. He had returned to the country two years ago. He had returned with his girlfriend, and his family had begun preparing for their wedding after his return. However, shortly after setting the date, Benicio had had a car accident.
Eileen tapped her chin with her finger while scrutinizing the information. Her lips pursed as she sensed something amiss.
“Strange, isn’t it?” Bryan propped his chin on his hand and looked at Eileen.

“Absolutely!” Eileen responded immediately. But then, she frowned. “But I can’t pinpoint what’s off.”
Bryan then pointed out several inconsistencies he had noted.
The internet only had two photos of Benicio. One was from when he was three years old. The other one was from after the car accident. In the photo, he sustained head injuries and appeared mentally defective. The Brown family had never disclosed the identity of the tutor who had been teaching Benicio since he was a child.
A few years ago, the media had analyzed what type of tutor would be deemed suitable for the Brown family. However, the prominent figures in the tutoring profession had not been hired by the Brown family. This led to speculation about whether the Brown family had actually found a tutor for Benicio.
“So?” Eileen felt she was onto something but couldn’t quite grasp it.
Bryan twirled a strand of her long hair with his fingers and patiently explained, “So, to the outside world, over twenty years of Benicio’s life appears to be a blank slate.” Aside from the people of the Brown family, no one had ever laid eyes on Benicio during that time. There had been no news or information about Benicio during his years studying abroad. It wasn’t that the media wasn’t interested in uncovering details; they had tried but found no leads. Moreover, the Brown family was powerful, so few dared to press for answers.
“Are you suggesting that Benicio, who suffered a head injury in the accident, might not actually be a Brown family member?” Eileen inquired.
Bryan shook his head decisively. “No, if Benicio weren’t a true member of the Brown family, they wouldn’t publicly reveal him, who is mentally defective, to tarnish their own reputation.”
