Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 185 Chapter 185: On stage was a long table where the panel was seated, and Zola and Milford were sitting in the very middle. Bryan and other people from several educational organizations sat on either side.

Hearing Calliope's words, Bryan leaned against the back of his chair, his eyes narrowing. He fiddled with the pen in his fingers, the veins on the back of his hand faintly visible. After shooting a hostile glance at Eileen, Calliope took something out of her bag—a handful of printed photos. She then walked to the stage and spread the photos out on the table for everyone to see.

The pictures were of Bryan and Eileen, capturing them together, including the morning they had gone to the store holding hands. "Mr. Dawson, what exactly is your relationship with Eileen?" Calliope asked.

Wearing a grim expression, Bryan locked eyes with Calliope. "You cprepared, did you?" he said. His tone was so intimidating that it was hard for Calliope to meet his intense gaze.

Bryan gathered the photos and looked through them one by one. Afterward, he raised an eyebrow and graciously complimented Calliope, "These are nice pictures, but I fail to see the problem here." Calliope was stunned. “Of... Of course there's a problem!" she stammered. Mustering all her courage, she said, "Mr. Dawson, aren't you a married man? That would make Eileen a mistress! This is more than enough proof that she's a woman of despicable character, and she doesn't deserve to be a tutor!" Everyone knew that Bryan was married. A few days ago, it had been rumored that Bryan had gotten close to the family tutor. But the tutor's nremained elusive. Calliope's words were like the last pieces to the puzzle. Was the family tutor Eileen? Zola wore a slight frown; she seemed to be affected but not bothered. Milford, on the other hand, almost leaped up and cursed these people for spreading such nonsense. But because he didn't know the true nature of Bryan's marriage, he could only bite his lip and look anxiously at Eileen.

Everyone else in the room whispered among themselves, eyeing Eileen with a mix of shock and hostility. Eileen, however, looked completely unperturbed. She even offered Milford a faint smile.

Latest updates on gVlnovlsAfter all, while it was true that Bryan had been married... Eileen was the woman Bryan had married. She wasn't a mistress; she used to be his wife. Wearing a calm expression, she was about to stand up to clear up the matter. But the next second, she saw Bryan descending from the stage, the black buttons on his white shirt twinkling under the warm lights.

He stood tall and exuded an air of nobility as he made his way towards her. He stopped in front of her, extending his hand, palm up. With a faint smile, Eileen placed her hand in his, allowing him to lead her back toward the stage.

Then, as the two faced the crowd, Bryan said loudly, "You might not know this, but I got a divorce a year ago. I chose not to disclose it to the public. A while ago, Eileen and I confirmed our relationship. That is to say, we are indeed together now. Is there a problem with that?" Divorced? With the exception of a few close friends, Bryan had kept the news a secret.

Yet now, he finally disclosed it to the public while simultaneously announcing his relationship with Eileen. The news was too juicy, and the few reporters present went giddy with excitement. They all hurriedly called their colleagues who ran the gossip columns, urging them to cas soon as possible.

While the crowd went wild, Eileen pursed her lips slightly, finding Bryan's words a bit odd. Why did he have to mention the divorce? He could have just told them she used to be his wife.

Eileen turned her head and looked into Bryan's eyes, searching for answers. In response, Bryan tightened his grip on her hand, his eyebrows rising slightly. But she didn't know what he meant by that. Since he didn't offer any explanations, Eileen decided not to ask for any. She simply turned her head and smiled at the crowd graciously.

She said, "It's true that I haven't been a tutor for very long, but I've always strived to educate my students to the best of my abilities." Then, she looked at Calliope and asked with a frown, "But, Miss Potter, why are you carrying around pictures ofand Mr. Dawson? That's a violation of our privacy, so we have the right to sue you." "I..." Calliope's eyes darted around desperately, as though she was searching for someone in the crowd. All the people in the room looked back at her, but the person she was looking for wasn't there.

Eileen knew Calliope had been plotting against her, but things hadn't gone as planned. Now, the tables had turned, making Calliope look like the one with the despicable demeanor.

Bryan didn't want to waste his ton Calliope, so he signaled Raymond to take care of the matter. Eileen's long hair cascaded loosely over her shoulders, and when she smiled, two dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth. Her clear, bright eyes were so charming that Bryan almost couldn't look away.

Not wanting to stay here any longer, Bryan turned to Zola and said, "It's settled then. She'll continue to be Milford's tutor. Now, if you'll excuse me." Just as they turned to leave, sreporters tried to stop them for an interview. Bryan pulled Eileen behind him to protect her. As if on cue, Raymond and several bodyguards quickly surrounded them like a human barrier, protecting them from the frenzied reporters. Bryan then focused on leading Eileen out through the back door.

Eileen followed him obediently. She didn't realize that she had forgotten her bag until they were inside the elevator.

"Raymond will handle it," Bryan suddenly said, as though reading her mind. He then leaned against the elevator wall, watching as the digital display changed floor numbers. With his arm wrapped around her waist, her faint fragrance filling his nose, he sighed contentedly. "You don't look surprised at all," he suddenly remarked.

"Surprised? About what?" Eileen was confused. Just then, the elevator doors slid open. She took his hand and walked out with him.

"Aren't you surprised that I'm divorced?" Bryan said. She wasn't a mistress. He had made full preparations this tto be with her, with nothing holding him back. Eileen stopped in her tracks and looked up at his handsface. She realized he seemed to be serious about his question.
