Chapter 228:

“How could you possibly enjoy yourself here?” Dora exclaimed as she grabbed a glass of wine from the table and aimed it toward Eileen.

It happened so abruptly that nobody had time to react. But Bryan instinctively moved to protect Eileen. The wine splashed onto his back, blending seamlessly into his dark clothes. Yet, it was evident to all that the wine had landed on Bryan.

Eileen, acting on impulse, grabbed Bryan’s wrist. His swift and determined actions earlier had made her heart skip a beat.

“Mr. Dawson, why did you protect her? She’s nothing but a liar. How could she sleep with you before you got a divorce? She may appear dignified, but she’s truly disgraceful,” Dora spat.

Dora had been frustrated for a long time, and now she found a way to vent her anger. Her outburst became a barrage of insults aimed at Eileen, whose eyes turned cold. Eileen rose and slapped Dora across the face.

“Clearly, Mr. Myers has failed to discipline you, and Mrs. Myers has been too busy with Brooks to notice. You lack manners, but it doesn’t matter; I will teach you how to behave today,” Eileen said, her face cold as ice, her eyes piercing like icicles, locking onto Dora.

She then grabbed Dora by the collar, pushing her backward. It was only a glass of red wine just now, but what if it had been boiling water? Eileen couldn’t shake the image of Bryan swiftly stopping the wine, and anger surged within her.

“You…” Dora stumbled against the wall, feeling trapped. But then, she gathered her courage and said, “You didn’t tutor my brother well! He didn’t make it into the top high school.”

“You’re in no position to discuss Brooks’ matters with me. If there’s an issue, have your mother tell me,” Eileen replied, releasing Dora’s collar. She dusted off her hands as if they were stained, then gestured toward the door. “Get out.”

At Eileen’s directive, Dora felt a surge of fear, instinctively wanting to leave.

“Dora!” Nadia and Bernard approached just in time to see the redness on Dora’s cheek from the slap, their expressions shifting in response.

Bernard quickly walked to Dora’s side, a stern look on his face as he examined her cheek. “What happened here? Who slapped you?”

“Dad, Mom, Eileen slapped me!” Dora clung to her parents for support, pointing at Eileen as she accused, “She didn’t help Brooks get into a prestigious high school. I just questioned her about it, and she hit me!”

Bernard’s face darkened as he glared at Eileen, while Nadia remained still, taking in the scene.

Bryan stood up, positioning himself beside Eileen to shield her from Bernard’s hostile stare. He addressed Dora coldly, “This room has surveillance cameras. Do you really want to test the truth of your accusations?”
