Chapter 646: "This is the wedding gift I prepared for Eileen. Although the actual amount may not matter to them, I intended it to serve as a positive sign. The sum of eleven million signifies that Eileen is the unique choice for Bryan." Ruby, seated next to Stella, was simply being accommodating, frequently seeking Eileen's input.
"Moreover, there's something I haven't disclosed." Stella extracted a document from the black box. "This document is the divorce agreement Eileen signed upon her departure from Onaland, but I replaced it with a marital contract. It stipulates that, should they ever divorce, Eileen will be entitled to half of the Dawson family's assets." This was a deliberate part of Stella's strategy. Back then, even though the shares had been registered under Brandon's name, the majority of the Dawson family's assets had been shifted to Bryan's ownership by Stella. Stella had hoped that, if Bryan ever failed, Eileen would still possess sassets of her own.

Eileen suddenly glanced up, remembering the moment she signed the document, and realized that she and Bryan were still legally married. So, there was no need for them to talk about remarriage.
"What exactly did I sign then?" Bryan suddenly rose to his feet, a whirlwind of emotions swirling within him. He approached Stella and retrieved both agreements.
The documents were nearly identical, except for one added clause: if he were to acquire the Dawson Group's shares and divorce due to irreconcilable differences, half of those shares would be awarded to Eileen as recompense.
Stella had meticulously selected Eileen and wanted to treat her well. The earlier incident was a deep-seated regret, a mistake that could not overshadow all the benevolence she had extended toward Eileen.
Eileen felt a surge of warmth in her heart as she smiled, rose from her seat, and walked over to Stella. "Regardless of everything, I am deeply grateful for all you've done for me, especially for this agreement." Step into a new world at galShe looked over at Bryan, who was holding the documents, his gaze contemplative. She knew what he was thinking.

The photo captured her with a youthful face, her eyes expressing uncertainty and confusion. The man beside her had striking features. Although his appearance wasn't as commanding as it was now, he was still intimidating compared to how she used to be.
"I'll hold onto these from now on," Eileen said, putting the marriage certificate and photo into her bag.
If Bryan wasn't interested in hould remarrying, she wouldn't press the issue. Her insistence would only add to his burdens. But now, it turned out they were still married.
A sense of relief and a touch of sweetness filled Eileen's heart She chose to ignore Bryan's reaction and returned to her seat.
