Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 75

Chapter 75:

Jonathan regarded Bryan with an air of arrogance, their faces mere inches apart.

The tension between them was no secret, and a palpable awkward silence descended as onlookers watched the scene.

Not too far away, Kian’s brow furrowed in concern at the sight, feeling a strong impulse to step in, yet Vivian stopped him.

“‘Bryan will manage. It’s Eileen who’s truly in a difficult situation here. Let’s just sit back and watch,” she said.

From the moment Jonathan arrived, his intense focus had been on Eileen.

With the situation around them, Vivian believed Bryan wouldn’t confront Jonathan to defend Eileen.

She surmised that Eileen was about to suffer.

Convinced that their current spot didn’t offer the best perspective, Vivian guided Kian to a more elevated position, ensuring they had a clear view over the crowd to watch the unfolding drama.

Bryan appeared unperturbed as he squinted at Jonathan and said, “Hello, Mr. Mueller.”

Clearly, he didn’t regard Jonathan with much concern.

Eileen felt uneasy because most of the people present were aware that her relationship with Bryan was a facade.

No one else dared to expose this or offend Bryan. But Jonathan didn’t care about this.

Even though Bryan was known to have a strong connection with Maney, the Hamilton family was famous for their integrity and disdain for deceit.

If Eileen and Bryan’s real relationship was exposed here today, the friendship they had built with Maney and his wife based on trust would crumble.

“Long time no see, Eileen.” Jonathan leaned in slightly as he greeted Eileen, his eyes carrying a clear threat as he subtly raised his eyebrows.

Bryan stepped in front of Eileen, acting as a barrier against Jonathan’s imposing stare.

“‘Don’t be defensive, Mr. Dawson,” Jonathan said as he straightened and adopted an innocent expression before the onlookers, “She is just your assistant, isn’t she? She’s not your wife. Why do you seem so upset? I just wanted to say hello to her.”

Eileen, standing behind Bryan’s formidable presence, pressed her lips together slightly. Her anxiety peaked, causing her fingers to nervously clasp.

Suddenly, a disturbance nearby drew her attention. The crowd parted like a wave, revealing the tall figure of Maney.

Dressed in a blue tuxedo with golden accents and sporting gold-rimmed glasses that sat neatly on his nose, his curious eyes scanned the unfolding drama.

His demeanor was a stark contrast to the cheerful facade he had displayed just the night before. He asked Jonathan, “What do you mean by that? Are you implying they are actually a couple?”

“‘Yeah, they’re not a couple,” Jonathan replied coolly, his voice carrying a tone of blunt honesty. “Eileen is simply Bryan’s special assistant, nothing more.”

Jonathan then took a few steps back, positioning himself as a mere observer.

Maney, with a mix of disbelief and irritation coloring his expression, confronted Bryan directly. “Bryan, is this true? Are you and Eileen not actually a couple?”
