Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 1179:

“It’s true,” Bryan replied calmly. “Don’t take any action against the Deleon Group. Wait for Eileen’s instructions.”

Raymond didn’t hear the last part.

Someone carrying a food tray had accidentally spilled soup all over Raymond, causing him to miss Bryan’s final words. He hastily said, “Okay, I won’t touch the Deleon Group.”

After ending the call, Bryan returned to the ward.

As soon as Bryan sat beside Eileen, Huey asked, “Bryan, who was that woman earlier?”

“She used to be my teacher,” Bryan replied.

Bailee discreetly kicked Huey’s foot, trying to silence him. She had noticed Eileen’s dark expression and wanted to avoid upsetting her further.

However, Huey misinterpreted the kick as accidental and continued speaking. “She’s really young, isn’t she?”

“Yes, she is quite young,” Eileen spoke up. “There were rumors about Bryan and her being together in college, and she was punished by the school because of him.” She emphasized the words “rumors” and “punished.”

Huey sensed the tension and looked at Bailee for guidance, his eyes asking if they should leave. He worried that if Eileen and Bryan’s conflict escalated, it might affect him and Bailee.

“It’s all in the past,” Bailee said, trying to mediate.

Bryan slid the dish in front of Huey over to Bailee, saying, “You’re right. Eat this while it’s hot, or it’ll get cold.”

Eileen didn’t want to make a big deal out of the situation. She took two more bites, set down her utensils, and walked over to Gabriela’s bed.

Reflecting on Presley’s words, Eileen suspected that Bryan might not be responsible for the actions against the Deleon Group. So, she decided to ask Raymond about the matter directly.

Raymond had just received Bryan’s call, and now Eileen was asking him about the matter again. He explained himself nervously and apologized sincerely, admitting that he had made the decision without permission.

“You’re right; you shouldn’t have made that decision without permission. The land deal is still uncertain. Not releasing the land now could harm the EB Group’s reputation,” Eileen replied.

Raymond was confused. “Wouldn’t it damage the EB Group’s reputation if he intervened again in the future?”

“Either way, it will harm the EB Group’s reputation. Let’s wait until the Deleon Group is determined to acquire it. If they take a more aggressive stance, then we’ll act,” Eileen added, explaining herself more clearly.

Raymond stared at Eileen’s message for a long time, feeling a sense of foreboding.

Eileen’s tone suggested she was ready to confront the Deleon Group head-on.

Yet, Bryan had instructed him not to go against the Deleon Group. He sniffed twice, and just as he was about to respond, another message from Eileen popped up.
