Chapter 94

Chapter 94:

Vivian, without pausing to consider why Eileen wasn’t pregnant, was eager to ruin Eileen.

Under the curious stares of everyone present, Eileen rose to her feet, wincing from the pain in her back as she smoothed out her clothes. Once upright, she stood still, a look of confusion crossing her face.

Stella, her brow furrowed in concern, turned to Bryan and demanded, “What exactly is happening here?”

“I’ll fill you in privately, Grandma. It’s not what you’re thinking,” Bryan replied, his voice calm. He glanced at his watch and added, “It’s time for dinner. Everyone, please feel free to stay and dine with us if you wish.”

Though his words sounded like an invitation, the guests quickly picked up on the hint that it was time to leave.

Many guests promptly stood and excused themselves.

Yet, Vivian remained, determined to stay until Stella addressed Eileen’s situation.

She approached Stella, about to speak, but Bryan stepped in her path.

He signaled to Kian, and Kian moved to stop Vivian, pulling her back.

Kian said, “Vivian, let Mrs. Dawson and Bryan handle this matter with Eileen. We should head home and come back another time.”

“Ryan, don’t stop me!” Vivian struggled to break free from Kian’s grip but couldn’t. Kian soon led Vivian away.

Vivian’s parents, looking furious, left the hall with them, muttering, “I knew this was not going to be good! Why does Vivian want to be with Bryan so much?”

Despite the words, the Warren family had actually supported Vivian.

Unlike Vivian, Eileen had to endure Stella’s anger all by herself.

She considered whether revealing her identity as Bryan’s wife now might help her dodge Stella’s anger.

But in that case, she would have to deal with Bryan’s reaction.

“Explain this to me,” Stella took a seat, fixing a sharp look on Bryan and Eileen.

Bryan, full of disdain, spoke first. “She got drunk, plain and simple. She’s been suspended already. If that’s not enough, I’ll fire her.”

Hearing that, Eileen tensed up. She bit her lip so hard that she could taste blood.

She knew Bryan was worried that revealing the shocking truth about their relationship would anger Stella and harm her health.

“Eileen, tell me your side of the story,” Stella’s gaze was intense, trying to read every small change in Eileen’s face.

A moment of hesitation appeared in Eileen’s eyes, but she quickly concealed it and met Stella’s gaze confidently. “It happened just like Mr. Dawson described. I’m to blame. I accept any punishment.”

Then, she bowed her head again.
