Chapter 163:

“Well… Alright, take care,” Jacob said, scratching the back of his head as he waved goodbye to Eileen.

Eileen offered a smile but did not look back at Bryan. Instead, she exchanged a glance with Phoebe and departed. Being in the city center made hailing a cab effortless, particularly given her striking attire. A taxi pulled up beside her almost at once.

Once she was seated inside, Eileen finally allowed her gaze to drift towards Bryan. He was still finishing his cigarette. Meanwhile, Jacob and Phoebe had climbed back into their car. Bryan leaned against the vehicle, his expression one of deep contemplation. He had voiced no suspicions, yet his every gesture had seemed to radiate mistrust.

Jacob, who was now driving, remained puzzled. “What’s the problem? Why did the atmosphere between Eileen and Bryan turn cold all of a sudden?”

After a brief silence, Phoebe crossed her legs and said, “Imagine this. A woman sells herself to a man to pay her mother’s medical bills. Later, when she reunites with the man, he finds her mingling among affluent men. What do you suppose he would conclude?”

“Clearly, he would suspect she had sold herself to those men!” Jacob exclaimed, then suddenly grasped that Phoebe was referring to Bryan and Eileen. After a pause, he asked, “So, do you believe Eileen is really involved with those two men?”

The mood in the car shifted instantly. Phoebe rolled her eyes and turned away, exclaiming, “I refuse to talk to an idiot!”

Phoebe believed Bryan’s judgment was clouded by his emotions. But Jacob’s interpretation now was utterly absurd!

“Whom are you calling an idiot?” Enraged, Jacob stopped the car to the side of the road and reached out to seize Phoebe by the head, forcing her to look at him. “You’re saying anyone who doubts Eileen is an idiot? Then Bryan is an idiot, too!”

Phoebe fought to free herself without success. In her fury, she headbutted Jacob. Stunned, Jacob released her, his vision blurred. Then, a fight erupted in the car.

As evening approached, the streetlights bathed Bryan in a warm glow. At his feet, a cluster of cigarette butts accumulated. Having smoked his last cigarette, he dialed Raymond.

“Track every action Eileen has taken since her arrival in Wist Land, especially how she has succeeded in the education industry so swiftly,” he commanded. After pondering for a moment, he added, “You can leave the hospital now.”

Raymond replied, “Understood, but gathering details on Ms. Curtis in Wist Land might take time.”
