Especially with her newfound charm, she seemed

even more like a successful businesswoman.

Bryan, on the other hand, had his arm wrapped in gauze.

and was dressed in a casual suit.

The rims of his eyes were red, but it didn’t change his detached demeanor. However, he appeared somewhat pitiful, his face marked by an aggrieved expression and a constant frown.

“Great-grandma, Dad’s putting on an act,” Gabriela called out as she ran up to Leyla. She grabbed Leyla’s hand and said, “Mom said the rest isn’t good for kids to see and told me to spend time with you.”

Leyla looked at Bryan’s appearance, feeling confused. But seeing Eileen’s confident expression, she felt reassured and quickly left with Gabriela.

The moment Eileen and Bryan entered the living room, a servant approached and announced, “The Brown family has arrived.”

The Brown family members entered the mansion assertively without waiting for Eileen’s permission. Leading the group was a woman in her fifties, dressed sharply in a suit, her hair slicked down with gel. She moved swiftly, yet her hair remained perfectly in place. The man following her was the same one Eileen had seen previously.

The woman in front was clearly the head of the Brown family and a prominent politician. She stared at Eileen with a fierce gaze, as if assessing an object. When she saw that Eileen showed no fear, a look of satisfaction crossed her face.

“Are you Eileen?” Chana Brown asked, having thoroughly researched Eileen before and being quite familiar with her background.

“Nice to meet you, Mrs. Brown,” Eileen said, nodding in greeting.

Chana smiled and replied, “We’ll be family in the future. No need for formality.”

“Okay,” Eileen replied with a smile. Then, she turned to Bryan and scolded, “Why are you not saying anything? Why didn’t you greet Mrs. Brown? Have you forgotten what I taught you last night?”

Chana was taken aback by the sudden shift in Eileen’s demeanor. Only then did she notice Bryan’s “pitiable state.” She was so shocked that her mouth hung open in surprise.

“Mrs. Brown, you’re aware that I’m married to Eileen and that we have a daughter, yet you still expect her to marry your son. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?” Bryan’s appearance was disheveled, and he didn’t have the imposing manner he once had. Despite that, he maintained an air of casual nobility.

Chana, fully aware of the Dawson family’s status, responded politely, “Mr. Dawson, although this is our first meeting, I must extend my apologies for the situation. Given our Brown family’s history, we are committed to our promises. We’ve even consulted with experts who have assured us that Eileen and Benicio will be a great match. Eileen will ensure Benicio has a good life.”

Bryan didn’t hold back and asked bluntly, “And how exactly will she do that? Is she going to make your son smart again?”

Chana was clearly taken aback by Bryan’s straightforwardness. Her expression darkened, and she didn’t say anything.
