Chapter 939:
Who would have guessed that a mere glance and a casual âdarlingâ would arouse him?
It wasnât that she was doing anything wrong. It was his tolerance that was fading.
âIâll solve your problem, and youâll handle mine,â Bryan said, managing to contain his urges as he released her. His problem wouldnât be resolved until later that night. He would have to wait until then.
She was like a siren to him. Recently, she had been upset with him and refused to let him share her bed. Thatâs why he wasnât able to hold back his desires this time; he had been suppressing them for so long.
Shortly after, Raymond called Bryan, providing clear information about the identity and location of the person responsible for the Byrd familyâs construction sites. Miguel Byrd, a distant relative of the main part of the Byrd family, managed all their construction projects. He had never caused any trouble for years.
Though slightly lascivious, Miguel had never done anything wrong. A few years ago, someone had tried to bribe him with a substantial sum, but he had firmly rejected the offer and cut ties with the foreman for good.
This act had solidified Miguelâs reputation as a loyal member of the Byrd family.
âItâs impossible for Conroy to bribe someone like him,â Eileen said, considering that the amount Conroy could offer was likely less than a hundred thousand.
Previously, a large bribe from a foreman, possibly amounting to millions, hadnât swayed Miguel. So why would a smaller sum from Conroy work?
Leaning his head against the seat, Bryan said, âConroy didnât bribe Miguel. He must have bribed an important member of the Byrd family instead. Only the heir of the Byrd family would have the influence to make Miguel compromise.â
Your next chapter is here gαâηÏνâ¯ðsâ¤com By chance, Bryan had encountered Seth Byrd, the heir to the Byrd family, several times before in Onalandi. Seth was a bald man in his fifties, and his voice was always very loud.
Bryan preferred quiet places, so he didnât know Seth very well, typically avoiding him after brief greetings.
Bryan continued, âTonight, Seth is going to attend a wedding. If I remember correctly, your grandmother mentioned receiving an invitation two days ago and told you about it. You didnât want to attend because you didnât know the couple.â
Eileen recalled the invitation and responded, âIndeed. Itâs still possible to go back and get it.â
However, she lacked a suitable dress for the wedding and had no time to buy one, prompting her to ask Raymond to purchase it.
Raymond was smart enough to directly ask Bryan, âWhat style of dress should I buy?â
âJust pick the most expensive one in the store,â Bryan said nonchalantly as he drove.
When Eileen and Bryan returned to the mansion and retrieved the invitation, Raymond had already purchased the dress and delivered it to the hotel where the wedding was being held. A professional makeup team was waiting for Eileen there.
The dress was crafted from velvet and adorned with numerous gemstones, sparkling brilliantly under the lights.
