Chapter 160:

After freshening up, Eileen emerged from the bathroom and casually asked, “What brings you two here again?”

“Sorry for the interruption,” Phoebe said with a playful tone. She then replied, “Jacob is here to talk about something with Bryan.”

Eileen, while tying her hair, paused to ask, “Are they discussing the White family issue?”

Phoebe’s face took on a serious look. She scrutinized Eileen for a moment and said, “You know Arthur is Gilbert’s nephew?” Her voice carried a mix of guilt and surprise.

Eileen looked confused. “What? Should I not be aware of that?”

“It’s not that,” Phoebe replied, peering out the door. “But we were concerned you might go behind our backs to Arthur.”

Eileen finished tying her hair, rolled her eyes, and explained, “I do have some sense, you know. Right now, Bryan and I are allies. If I approached Arthur to plead, it would just embarrass Bryan. Plus, Arthur would surely want something in return, and I’m not one to back down easily. If we’re unlikely to reach a deal, why seek out the hassle?”

Getting caught by Arthur again would only complicate things further. Then, Eileen asked Phoebe, “Was it Bryan who told you not to tell me?”

“No,” Phoebe said with a sheepish grin. “It was Jacob.”

“That makes more sense.” Eileen felt she knew Bryan well enough. She trusted that Bryan understood her, too. He wouldn’t hide such a thing deliberately; he simply wouldn’t mention it unless she brought it up. But not looking for trouble herself didn’t mean trouble wouldn’t find her.

While Eileen was talking with Phoebe, there appeared ten missed calls on Eileen’s phone, which was on silent mode. Eileen was on her way out of the room with Phoebe when she noticed the missed calls. She said to Phoebe, “You go ahead. I need to return a call first.”
