Chapter 1044:

As for the restaurant, its staff had undoubtedly been bribed by the Aston family, which was why Kamila had approached this situation without any hesitation.

Eileen was curious about Kamila’s and Harrell’s involvement in the whole situation. Did they truly understand what was going on, or were they merely being used?

She gave Kamila and Harrell a thorough look and quickly came to a conclusion. Harrell was clearly being used as a pawn, completely unaware of the full scheme. But Kamila was definitely aware of what was happening. After all, Jaliyah didn’t have the brains to concoct such an elaborate scheme to frame her.

“In this world, everything can be fabricated. It’s crucial to carefully verify the authenticity of the evidence,” Eileen said.

No sooner had Eileen finished speaking than Harrell charged over from behind Kamila, acting as if he was about to attack Eileen.

Bryan shifted slightly and positioned himself before Eileen with a cold gaze, which made Harrell freeze in his tracks.

“Mrs. Aston, what is it that you want?” Bryan asked icily, ignoring Harrell.

Feeling exposed, Kamila replied sulkily, “Our families have always had a good relationship. I don’t want to destroy that over this issue. If you publicly apologize to my family and leave Alverton, we’ll act as if nothing ever happened.”

Bryan let out a chuckle, pulled out his phone, and tapped on the schedule. He placed the phone on the table beside Kamila’s hand, allowing her to see it clearly.

“Three days ago, we were set to leave Alverton. The elite team I hired from abroad was scheduled to arrive soon. However, thanks to your actions, my plans have been disrupted, and we can’t leave now,” Bryan said.

Discover endless worlds on gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s﹒𝚌o𝗺 Kamila’s expression shifted as she examined the schedule.

Rising quickly, she said, “You— I…”

Bryan’s face grew stern. He regarded Kamila with a nonchalant look and declared, “My wife will not be unjustly accused or take the fall without reason. I will conduct a full investigation into Jaliyah’s situation. Whether we stay in Alverton or leave will depend on how you handle this.”

Kamila found herself completely cornered by his open threat. Given the connection between Keith and the Vazquez family, it was tough for Eileen and Leyla to confront the Aston family. It was only when Bryan presented the evidence that Kamila realized how absurd her assumptions had been.

“Enough of this!” Kamila took a deep breath and retorted stubbornly, “I don’t believe you. You’re just trying to lower our guard. First, it was Tilda, then Jaliyah, and now you’re trying to deceive me. I won’t be fooled!”

Eileen was left speechless.

Leyla’s expression darkened as she said, “Get out of here. I’m warning you, if you don’t stop this nonsense, I’ll go to your Aston family’s house tomorrow and demand that Keith come out and acknowledge Eileen as his daughter.”

“So what?” Kamila declared firmly. “Jaliyah lost her baby because of what happened, and our Aston family’s heir is gone. Even if Keith learns about his connection to Eileen, he will never acknowledge her as his daughter.”

When Keith and Harrell had arrived at the hospital today, they had seen Jaliyah looking “weak” and had felt for her. Harrell had been openly grieving, lamenting the death of his son.
