Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 347

Chapter 347:

Kaysen hadn’t completely lost his influence; several people still approached him to exchange greetings and discuss business matters. During these interactions, his frosty gaze remained fixed on Eileen.

“If we can sow discord between Bryan and Eileen before Bryan is discharged, he definitely won’t seek revenge on her behalf. Then we can extend an apology to him, and he won’t be mad at us,” Kaysen whispered to Berkley.

Berkley relied on Kaysen for strategies. Once he formulated a plan, she knew exactly what to endorse. “Kaysen, you’re the most capable. I’ll follow your lead. What’s our next move?”

“Come with me,” he said, guiding Berkley to a secluded corner.

Eileen found the engagement party dull. After mingling with Benjamin and fielding numerous questions about her future plans post-Warren Group acquisition and the ongoing developments at Fregusen Group, she decided to take a break. Using the excuse that she had drunk slightly too much, Eileen slipped away with Benjamin to the second-floor lounge.

Benjamin had seemed uneasy throughout the event, and once they reached the lounge, he reluctantly pulled a business card from his suit pocket.

“This is from Mabel.”

It was Mabel’s business card, identifying her as a manager at Harrison Group.

“What do you mean?” Eileen asked, confused. “Is she trying to recruit you to Harrison?”

“She’s looking to cheat on Julio,” Benjamin struggled to find the right words. “She said her marriage to Julio is merely a marriage of convenience, and they’ve agreed to have their own affairs afterward. She wants to know if I’m okay with it…”

Unable to maintain her composure, Eileen burst into laughter, handing the business card back to Benjamin.

Benjamin’s expression grew stern. “Do I seem like someone who would be her secret lover?”

Yet, Eileen couldn’t help but respect Mabel’s honesty. She appreciated that Mabel was upfront about her marital situation. It was ethically questionable, but if Julio had indeed made such an arrangement with her, then why not?

Before Eileen could complete her thoughts, the door to the lounge suddenly swung open.

Berkley entered, her eyebrows knitting together at the sight of Benjamin, but she chose to sit on a different sofa.

“You must be Eileen and Benjamin, right?” Berkley started the conversation.

Both Eileen and Benjamin quickly adopted more serious expressions and nodded in acknowledgment.

Noticing their shift from the lighter tone of their earlier conversation, Berkley offered a friendly smile. “No need to be so formal. I’m just weary and came here to rest. Since we’re all here, we might as well talk.”

Nobody was convinced by her explanation, considering the venue had set up numerous temporary lounges; her choice of seating, the same as theirs, seemed far too coincidental.

“I have something I need to discuss with Eileen privately,” Berkley stated bluntly, forgoing any pretense.
