Chapter 1046:

Without looking up, Bryan gently placed his hand on Eileen’s head and said, “You were calm when you talked to your grandmother just now. Why do you look so worried?”

“I’m just afraid that my grandmother will worry about me.” Eileen clasped Bryan’s hand and snuggled into his lap. “Even if I managed to comfort my grandmother, she is probably still thinking about how to handle the situation now. The revelation that I was not Conroy’s biological daughter has sent shockwaves across the city, tarnishing the Vazquez family’s reputation and impacting the stock price of VO Group. Leyla must be worried.”

Eileen had no idea why she was so anxious. Maybe it was because this incident had occurred when everything had finally settled down, and she had been preparing to leave.

“Don’t stress about this news. We just need to contain it. It’s a temporary issue. During this time, VQ Group’s situation will be volatile, but the only consequence will be a delayed departure from Alverton. It will cost us nothing else,” Bryan said, analyzing the situation.

Since Eileen was not Conroy’s biological offspring, holding a press conference would only confirm this truth, and the media would continue to press Eileen for information about her biological father.

Besides, having the truth exposed was not entirely a bad thing. At least the Brown family had stopped causing trouble for Eileen.

Lately, Chana had been away from Alverton due to work commitments but had maintained regular contact with Leyla, mentioning that she needed to discuss Eileen and Benicia’s wedding plans when she returned. However, after this incident, the Brown family chose to stop contacting Leyla. The public believed that Eileen’s father was seemingly unknown. Revealing Keith as Eileen’s father would only imply that Eileen’s mother had been pregnant out of wedlock, leading to unfavorable repercussions.

So all in all, it was a blessing in disguise. Eileen had to stay at the Vazquez Mansion for a few days, while Bryan handled various matters at VQ Group daily. Eileen assumed that the people most eager to report on the situation would be reporters, and it was likely that there were reporters waiting outside the VQ Group building.

But to her surprise, Keith was the first person to arrive at the Vazquez Mansion, not the reporters she had expected.

Leyla was taking a nap alongside Gabriela, while Bryan had headed to VQ Group.

In the vast Vazquez Mansion, Eileen was alone in the living room, wrapping up the final tasks for the Ferguson Group’s project.

A flustered servant rushed in and announced, “Mr. Aston has arrived.”

For a few seconds, Eileen was frozen in surprise. Then, she snapped out of it and instructed, “Allow him to enter.”

After giving the instruction, she slipped the coat that was draped over the sofa, rose to greet Keith, who was still at a distance in the courtyard. His eyes seemed different from what she remembered, and his expression was also a bit dark.

He stepped into the living room, paused, and moved his mouth as if to speak, but ultimately said nothing.

“Please go and brew a fresh pot of coffee. I’ll have a conversation with Mr. Aston. See that we’re not interrupted.” After dismissing the servant, Eileen greeted Keith with a smile and invited him to sit down. “Please.”

With a slight nod, Keith sat down on the sofa, waiting until the servant had exited the room before speaking. “Is what Conroy said true?” he asked.
