Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 1219:

Before reaching Bryan, she waved the contract triumphantly. Bryan frowned slightly. With one hand still holding his cigarette, he wrapped his other arm around Eileen in a half-embrace. “I’ve stolen the project from the Deleon Group,” Eileen said, her voice dripping with confidence and pride.

“So, do you feel good after getting back at Amoura?” Bryan asked, putting out the cigarette and taking the contract from her to examine it closely.noveldrama

Eileen pondered for a moment before replying, “Yeah. As long as she doesn’t make any more trouble for me in the future, I won’t make things difficult for her.”

After all, this project was crucial for Amoura’s operations in this country. Eileen’s acquisition of the project meant Amoura’s support had significantly weakened. Amoura was in a dire situation, unable to rely on money to cause trouble in the country. Her only option was to humble herself in Onaland.

“Let’s go home,” Bryan said as he crouched down and picked Eileen up. Instinctively, Eileen wrapped her long legs around his strong waist.

She had done it without thinking. Once she realized how inappropriate it was, Bryan had already begun to descend the stairs. She had to bury her face in his chest to dodge the cameras and avoid being seen.

However, it soon became clear that if the reporters couldn’t capture their expressions, they would settle for taking photos of their poses instead.

The next morning, the headlines were buzzing with news of Bryan bringing his wife home in the dead of night. Presley came across the news while she was enjoying her breakfast.

Suddenly, Presley lost all her appetite for the delicious breakfast before her. Eileen had been the center of attention the previous day. She had secured Gerry’s project, outperforming the Deleon Group.

When Bryan had returned, he had carried her, and she had nestled shyly into his neck. Their relationship had become so iconic that reporters practically used it as a case study. Social media users even humorously suggested that their love story be displayed at City Hall for publicity.

Presley slammed her phone down on the table. Before she could regain her composure, Colby approached her.

“What’s the matter? Have you read the news? You can’t stand seeing them so in love together, huh?” Colby’s icy gaze sent a chill through Presley. She quickly composed herself and replied, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m heading to the office now.”

“What are you planning to do at the office?” Colby sneered. “We were sent here by the board to keep an eye on that woman, to make sure she doesn’t abscond with the funds, not to help her! If she succeeds in her business, my father will take great interest in her and might leave all his assets to her. That would put us at a disadvantage.”

Indeed, Amoura had only been married to Javier for a short time. Javier had been greatly taken by her beauty, but other members of the family didn’t trust Amoura at all. Colby was especially concerned. After all, the matter affected the amount of inheritance he might receive from his father, so he had taken it upon himself to go back to the company with Presley.

“I’m just offering to help by going to the company and keeping an eye on her, okay? You spend all day doing nothing and don’t even visit the office. If she were to secretly transfer assets, you wouldn’t even know!” Presley said.

However, Colby disregarded her words. “Are you worried she’ll transfer the assets, or are you trying to use this as a chance to get closer to Bryan since she’s linked to the Dawson family?”
