Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 1236:

“What is Presley trying to do here?” Phoebe said. “Look at her, biting her lip and acting all fragile. If there’s really a man present, he would probably step up and defend her. Did she really come here for Bryan?”

Eileen shook her head, her expression indifferent. “I don’t care who she’s here for, but I know the Deleon Group is here for me.”

Eileen suspected Presley was just a pawn in Amoura’s game. Meanwhile, Amoura was definitely here to make things difficult for her.

Amoura turned to Stella, her voice dripping with malice. “You are saying all that because you want to address the online rumors about Bryan’s affair with Presley. About that, Presley has also been wronged; she has done nothing to deserve this.”

Amoura’s expression turned icy. “But the recording is quite clear. So, I have to ask, Eileen, do you really no longer want to be with Mr. Dawson?” Amoura shifted the topic to Eileen.

Stella’s expression turned stern, her eyes narrowing slightly at the mention of the recording.

Before Eileen could respond, Stella said, “Some call you Mrs. Deleon, but let’s be real, you’re just the woman Mr. Deleon married after his wife passed away. You can’t even set foot in the Deleon family’s cemetery. Don’t overstep your bounds trying to mess with us using your power within the Deleon Group’s branch here. You should consider whether you can withstand it if our Dawson family fights back.”

Stella’s words laid bare Amoura’s limited influence, revealing that her power was confined to the Deleon Group’s branch here. Eileen felt a surge of satisfaction at Stella’s retort.

“It seems that birds of a feather do flock together. I thought Eileen was harsh and unreasonable, but it turns out she’s just as cruel and heartless as you, Mrs. Dawson,” Presley seethed with humiliation, unable to bear the sting of Stella’s words.

There were many people gossiping about her marriage with Colby, who had grown up with her like a brother. Stella’s words had struck a nerve, touching on her deepest insecurities.

Though seething, Presley couldn’t get back at Stella because of her standing within the Dawson family. Instead, she turned to Eileen, her voice venomous. “Eileen, you’re a woman who has always navigated the cutthroat business world alongside men. Who would believe you’ve never slept with someone to succeed in your career? You’re hardly a paragon of virtue. There is nothing between Bryan and me, but even if there is, you have no right to say anything about it!”

“Looks like I’ll be adding some fun to this party today,” Eileen’s smile was laced with sarcasm as she rubbed her wrist. Then, she slapped Presley.

Presley doubled over, clutching her face in shock, her eyes wide with disbelief. “Why do you always resort to physical violence?” Presley asked, her voice trembling.

“You slandered me. You deserve the slap.” As Eileen approached Presley, Amoura instinctively blocked her path.

Eileen’s eyes narrowed, her gaze piercing. “Can your plastic-surgery face withstand a slap? How dare you intervene?”noveldrama

Amoura took a few steps back instinctively.

Eileen towered over Presley, pinning her head to the table. The spilled wine on the table soaked Presley’s face and hair.

“Is this how the Deleon family conducts business? Using manipulation and seduction to get ahead?” Eileen’s gaze turned icy. “Did you, Mrs. Deleon, establish your influence in this country by using such tactics, spending your days charming men?”
