Chapter 226:
Down the stairs came Milford, his steps quick and brimming with rage. He marched up to Eileen, his anger palpable. “Did Zola give you money to deal with those people’s demands?”
Eileen was taken aback by the sudden question. “What?”
“Isn’t it clear?” Zola had also come downstairs, her voice sharp. “Half a million. I used it to fix your problem! Think about the mess you’ve gotten yourself into. And watch your tone when you talk to me!”
Eileen finally caught on to what they were arguing about. “Miss Murray, didn’t you say we should keep this a secret?”
Eileen had received a WhatsApp message from Zola earlier instructing her to keep the matter confidential. So, she hadn’t mentioned anything to Milford.
Zola took a deep breath, feeling a twinge of guilt. “I’m sorry. I just mentioned it because Milford and I were having an argument. I couldn’t help but bring it up.”
“So, did she really pay up?” Milford questioned again, his voice laced with disbelief.
“Yeah, she did. Legally, she’s your guardian. Even if we wanted to take those people to court, she’d have to step in,” Eileen replied, looking at Milford. “But I hadn’t expected she’d hand over the cash like that.”
Milford turned to glare at Zola. “So you were just being foolish. Are you trying to impress me by throwing money around? Do you believe that paying half a million will earn you favor in my eyes? If you’re so dissatisfied with that, why don’t you trade my life for that amount of money? Otherwise, quit ordering me around!”
“Zola’s your sister, and Eileen’s your tutor,” Bryan said in a cold voice. “Is this how you speak to them?”
With those words, Bryan silenced Milford. His grumpy demeanor was affecting not just Zola, but also Eileen.

Eileen had promised Zola to keep the debt under wraps, so Milford had thought Eileen had sorted everything out and felt thankful towards her. Now, it seemed as though Eileen was taking undeserved credit in front of Milford.
“Regardless of who did what, the main thing is that it’s all sorted out now. Zola’s your sister, and she deserves to be kept in the loop regarding your matters. Sure, she might have dealt with it foolishly, but she was still trying to help.”
After speaking, Bryan gestured for Eileen to join him at the dinner table. “Let’s eat,” he said.
Without a word, Milford took a seat, ensuring he kept his distance from Zola, quietly digging into his meal. In no time, he finished and headed upstairs, clearly still angry.
