Chapter 881:
âYes,â Eileen replied.
âWhy did you involve him? The situation with the Vazquez family is a mess. Conroy and Gianna are cunning old foxes. Your husband is too young to handle them. He might end up suffering losses!â Leylaâs anxiety grew, so intense that she tried to stand, saying, âIâm going to talk to Conroy and Gianna. Ask Bryan to take you and the child away, or youâll suffer when Conroy and Gianna retaliate.â Eileen quickly guided Leyla back onto the bed and beside her.
âGrandma, Bryan isnât easily manipulated. Havenât I told you how powerful he is?â
Although Eileen had praised Bryan before, Leyla had assumed it was merely adoration speaking. She believed Bryan might hold some influence, but surely it wasnât enough to contend with Conroy!
âDo you know about Apex Group? Itâs a century-old enterprise owned by the Dawson family in Onaland,â Eileen patiently explained, seeing that there was no other option. She pulled out her phone and showed Leyla some information about Bryan. âLook, Bryan has significantly impacted the business world, advancing domestic industries and gaining international fame. If he speaks, the business community listens. Apex Group would change hands at his command. Conroy and Gianna wouldnât dare harm him.â
Leylaâs eyes widened, her expression shifting from skepticism to awe.
âReally? Is he truly that powerful? Youâre not just saying this to comfort me, right?â
Eileen nodded. âItâs absolutely true. Why would I lie?â
âIf youâre still unsure, just open the door and see for yourself.â
At that moment, Conroy and Gianna must be standing, while Bryan was seated comfortably.
Your next favorite is on gⱯlnÏνð®ðsï¼ð¸oðº Eileen was right. Leyla stood up and cracked the door open. Peeking out, she saw Bryan lounging on the sofa, casually adjusting his cigarette. It dangled from his lips as he exuded an authoritative presence during the negotiation.
Conroy and Gianna, standing opposite him, seemed diminished in his presence, their usual assertiveness noticeably deflated.
Before Eileen could ask if Leyla had seen everything clearly, Leyla swung the door wide open and moved toward Conroy and Gianna, her anger evident. She pointed at them and erupted.
âConroy, you disgrace! Youâve done my daughter wrong! You cheated on her and had a child with another woman! And Gianna, youâwhat did you do? You did the same to someone like your mother. Youâre worse than an animal! Youâve reaped the benefits from our family, yet betrayed us, even stooping so low as to sleep with your sisterâs husband! No, your sister wouldnât consider him her husbandâheâs trash! Only you would like someone like him!â
Standing at the door, Eileen was stunned to see her grandmother charge out and unleash years of pent-up frustration on the two.
Bryan, equally shocked, instantly stubbed out his cigarette and rose quickly to walk over to Leyla.
Though Leyla was out of breath, her tirade was far from over. âYou two are too shameless! Did you think I was blind to your deceitful acts all these years? If I had any powerful backing, would I ever have feared you? Now, my granddaughter is back, and the man she married is immensely powerful, Eileen.â
âMom, we are family. Why canât we sit down and talk things out?â Gianna said.
