Chapter 1058:
She understood his desire for peace, but the hypocrisy was evident.
When Kamila had caused a scene, Keith had stayed silent. Now that Kamila was in hot water, he pleaded for discretion.
The irony wasnât lost on Eileen.
If Kamila or Jaliyah had shown any consideration, things might never have reached this impasse. Eileen believed there was no guarantee they wouldnât concoct new schemes against her later, even if this matter ended.
After a long pause, Keith sighed heavily. âIâm being selfish, I know. Eileen, handle this as you see fit. Whatever happens⦠I hope our relationship can remain as good as before.â
âOf course, there will be no gulf between us.â No sooner had Eileen spoken than a figure emerged hastily from the police station.
It was Jaliyah, her face red with rage. She grabbed Eileen and exclaimed, âYouâre utterly contemptible! How dare you stoop so low as to ask people to impersonate the police and intimidate Miranda? You always resort to underhanded tactics!â
They were still inside the police station. Jaliyahâs rash actions and raised voice immediately caught the attention of multiple officers.
Keith scowled and bellowed in indignation, âDonât you think this is already shameful enough? Apologize to Eileen and then go home!â
âWhy should I apologize?â Jaliyah was furious. âHow can you be so biased? Iâm your daughter-in-law, and sheâs just an outsider! Why do you speak up for her and ask me to apologize? Why wonât you let your wife take responsibility and apologize? She was the mastermind behind this!â
Exclusive stories available on gαlnÏvâ¯lsâ¤com Just as Kamila approached Jaliyah to quiet her down, she suddenly found herself exposed by Jaliyah. Her eyes darkened immediately.
With a swift movement, Kamila pushed Jaliyah aside. For the sake of the familyâs reputation, she didnât acknowledge what Jaliyah had said and instead pinned Eileen with a disappointed expression. âYou created this spectacle without even consulting us. You show no regard for the reputations of our families and act impulsively.â
âWere you concerned about protecting our familiesâ reputations when you decided to tell the media about this?â Eileen asked calmly, unfazed by Kamilaâs attempt to guilt-trip her.
Jaliyah peeked out from behind Kamila and retorted, âShe went to confront your Vazquez family! But the Vazquez family insisted on denying it!â
Eileen said, âJaliyah, if youâre losing your grip on reality, you should seek help immediately. I donât have time for this nonsense. Come to me when youâre ready to apologize properly.â
Then, she grabbed Bryanâs arm, turned around, and walked away.
The echo of swift footsteps trailed behind her. Looking back through the nearby carâs rearview mirror, Eileen saw Jaliyah in hot pursuit, only to be stopped by Kamila. Jaliyah whispered something to Kamila. Then, in the next second, both women were chasing after Eileen. Just as they were about to reach her, Bryan swept Eileen into his arms and skillfully evaded the two women charging toward them.
In the blink of an eye, Jaliyah shoved Kamila toward Eileen, causing Kamila to lose her balance.
Instantly, Eileen grasped their intentions and subtly signaled to Bryan. In perfect sync, they took a step back together.
