Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 62:

Knowing something differed from witnessing it firsthand, after seeing Eileen and entering the house, Vivian was on the verge of losing her mind. But before she could make a call, Kian swiftly seized her phone, placing it beyond her grasp.

“Kian, why are you stopping me?” Vivian stared at her brother in confusion. “Don’t you realize the intense scrutiny faced from the public lately? Even Dad and Mom urged me to distance myself from Bryan because of it!”

With a resigned exhale, Kian urged, “Stay calm, Vivian. Don’t antagonize Bryan. You know his temperament. I’m familiar with Eileen. Despite being aware of Bryan’s marital status, she persists in her involvement with him. There must be underlying motives.”

“What are you implying?” Vivian found it incredulous. “Bryan is an incredible man. It’s absurd to think Eileen needs a rationale to pursue him despite the moral implications!”

Kian wasn’t surprised by her perspective, considering her brief acquaintance with Eileen. Having known Eileen for three years himself, he believed he knew her well. He believed Eileen wasn’t the type to engage in a relationship with her superior or to wreck marriages.

So, why was she entangled with Bryan? This piqued Kian’s curiosity. He assured Vivian, “Trust me, I’ll assist in separating Eileen from Bryan. But first, heed my advice and avoid impulsive actions.”

“Kian, I trust you, but I’m afraid…” Vivian bit her lip, fearing disappointment from the revelations.

Patting her arm, Kian reassured her, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it. Let me drive you home now.”

Starting the engine, Kian drove Vivian back to her home. After dropping her off, he stayed briefly in the car and then dialed Benjamin.

“I need you to look into Eileen,” Kian told Benjamin.

Jolted awake, Benjamin echoed in surprise, “Look into Eileen?”

“Yes, I want a comprehensive report on her. Get me the details by tomorrow.”

With that, Kian hung up the phone.

Benjamin sat up in bed, gazing at the moonlight streaming through the window, his lips pressed together. After some time, a realization dawned on him. He rose from bed and made his way to the study, where he retrieved a photo from a shelf. It was a graduation photo of their entire class, including himself and Eileen.

It was the sole group photo he possessed featuring her. In the picture, a younger Eileen sported an innocent and vibrant smile. After they graduated, he had never seen her smile like that again.

After a contemplative pause, he returned the photo to its place and settled into a chair, retrieving his phone and opening the chat with Eileen. His fingers hovered over the screen for a moment before he composed a message and sent it out.

“Kian wants me to investigate you.”

But within moments, he recalled the message. Then he rose from his seat and left his home to start an investigation about Eileen.
