Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 209

Chapter 209:

In the darkness of the night, the car’s front hood was raised, releasing occasional puffs of white smoke. The vehicle, with its hazard lights blinking, stood out by the roadside, drawing the attention of passing cars that slowed to observe the scene. However, no one offered to help, as Eileen had already exited the car and assisted Adalina out as well. Fortunately, Adalina was frightened but unharmed, much to Eileen’s relief.

“Look who it is,” a bold voice called out.

Eileen looked up to see Megan approaching, arms crossed, clearly having exited the car that had sideswiped hers on purpose.

“If your student had been injured, how would you explain it to their parents, Eileen?” Megan kept her distance, seemingly wary of Eileen’s cold stare.

Before Eileen could respond, Megan continued, “What now? Call the police? We can pay some money, but you know my cousin’s situation—she’s not legally accountable.”

Regardless of whether the incident would involve legal issues, Megan was right: Vivian, being considered ‘mentally ill,’ would not bear any legal responsibility. The early summer night breeze carried a hint of heat, and despite her anger, Eileen maintained her composure.

She snapped a photo of Vivian’s license plate and called the police. Upon seeing this, Megan quickly turned and rushed back to her car, with Vivian driving off in haste.

The police arrived promptly, and after reviewing the dashcam footage, they concluded that Vivian was at fault. However, after contacting Vivian and learning about her severe depression, as Megan had claimed, the police agreed that Vivian only needed to pay compensation.

Eileen appeared unfazed; the compensation was sufficient. She took a taxi to drop Adalina off at home, repeatedly apologizing to her parents for the missed lesson, and stayed late to make up for it.

By the time the lesson ended, it was already half past ten in the evening, and Eileen hesitated about how to get home, uncertain if the banquet Bryan was attending had concluded. As she descended the stairs, she overheard Bryan and Denzel talking.

She quickened her pace and saw Bryan with his white shirt partially unbuttoned, revealing a glimpse of his muscular chest as he chatted with Denzel. He held a cigarette in one hand and a half-finished glass of red wine in the other.

“Anyway, congratulations to you for taking the initiative and securing the project, Mr. Dawson. Your product is already a hit before its launch,” Denzel said, clinking his glass with Bryan’s.

Bryan flicked the ash from his cigarette and drained the last of the wine in his glass. He finished his cigarette and tossed the butt into a nearby trash bin before standing up.
