Chapter 1094: "Kamila is stubborn. She won't rest until she gets what she wants. I'll inform the police and interrogate the Aston family's driver to see if I can extract any useful information,” Marisa said, standing up and adjusting her uniform. "You might need to stay put for a while. Stay in touch, and callif anything comes up." Eileen got up and escorted Marisa out.
Outside the door, Marisa gave Eileen her phone number. "Kamila's family has lost their influence. She doesn't have the power she once did. If I can gather enough evidence, I'll clear your name. Don't worry; I'm here to support you." Marisa then gave Eileen a reassuring pat on the shoulder. Despite the genuine care, Eileen found it hard to feel close to her due to her authoritative presence.

Marisa sighed before turning and walking away. After exchanging a few words with her colleagues, she and the others got into their cars and drove off.
Once their cars were out of sight, Eileen turned back to the villa, only to overhear Leyla whispering to Bryan, "Don't worry, Bryan. We'll return to Onaland soon enough. Encourage Eileen to start having children once we get there. Make sure she's in good health, and I'll do my best to make sure she has two kids within three years." "Grandma, Eileen's health comes first, but I see your point. I'll leave it in your hands," Bryan said as he sat down beside Leyla.
Leyla chuckled, her face creasing with wrinkles. "I'll look after your little ones as long as I'm able. You two can have as many babies as you like, and Eileen's foster mother can lend a hand too. I've spoken to her twice already, and she's on board with the idea of Eileen having more children." Eileen was at a loss for words. She had no idea when they had cooked up these plans. Since when had Ruby started having secret chats with Leyla? Read exclusive updates galnovalsEileen let out an intentional cough, trying to remind Bryan and Leyla that she was approaching.
"Chere, Eileen," Leyla said. “Marisa and your mother grew up together. They were close, and Marisa used to stay in our family quite often." Leyla smoothly steered the conversation in a different direction. Without addressing what had just been discussed, Eileen asked, "Did she like her a lot?" "Absolutely," Leyla's eyes brightened. "After you went missing, Marisa helped your mother through the hardest times. Over the years, she sacrificed multiple opportunities for promotion to keep searching for the truth about your disappearance. Before your mother passed, she had a private meeting with Marisa. Even after your—" After Dottie's death, Marisa stayed at the Vazquez Mansion for several days and didn't return to work until after the funeral. However, it might have been related to her grief. Marisa was not very expressive and always seemed a bit distant. After Dottie's passing, Marisa continued to visit Leyla on New Year's Day. She barely spoke during her short visits and often left within a few minutes.
Leyla had assumed that Marisa would abandon the investigation after Dottie's passing, but to her surprise, Marisa remained determined and even uncovered new clues today.

"Grandma, could you tellmore about what happened in the past? Were my mom and Kamila really at each other's throats all these years?” Eileen asked.
With each new stranger who appeared, all claiming to have known Dottie, Eileen couldn't shake the feeling that Dottie was somehow still present. These people seemed like NO the most precious gift Dottie had left her, yet they also carried with them the burdens Dottie had left behind. Without understanding more, Eileen feared she wouldn't be able to unravel the mysteries surrounding her. If she couldn't do that, she would be trapped in Alverton, unable to return to her life in Onaland.
