HappyNovelChapter 1041: Eileen only went along because she was curious to see what Jaliyah was up to.
Within ten minutes, the dishes arrived.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJaliyah dove right in, not wasting any time. "You know I'm not actually pregnant, right?" she asked Eileen between bites.
"I just happened to be there this morning. Your Aston family's is none of my business,” Eileen replied coolly, not even touching the food.
"Do you want to know why I'm faking this pregnancy?" Jaliyah asked.
Eileen shook her head. "I have no idea." "It's all your fault!" Jaliyah slammed her fork down, her face twisted in anger. "You're blood-related to the Aston family. My mother-in-law said that my father-in-law might leave the entire Aston family fortune to you! And I'm not going to let that happen. That's why I want to have a son to compete with you for the family fortune." The corners of Eileen's mouth twitched in disbelief. She leaned back in her chair, lips pursed, pondering the chaos this inheritance issue had caused within the Aston family.
The irony was that Keith had no clue she was his daughter. And yet, the rest of the Aston family were already losing their minds, ready to go to war with her.
"With all due respect, but even Keith's son can't compete with me. What makes you think your son stands a chance?" Eileen said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJaliyah choked on her food, coughing violently. She glared at Eileen from behind a napkin.
"I don't want your family's money," Eileen said. "I have plenty of my own. The Aston family fortune might be everything to you, but it's peanuts to me. I'm just stating the obvious-you're a fool for doing this." With that, she rose from her seat, her fingertips lightly tapping the table. "I won't meddle in the Aston family's affairs, but I do advise you to know when to quit. I'll be returning to Onaland in a few days. From now on, I'll only cback to visit the Vazquez family's ancestral tombs, not to stay for long." Jaliyah's eyes widened in surprise. As soon as Eileen was out of sight, she jumped up, paid the bill, and hopped into a waiting car by the roadside.
The moment she sat down, she turned to Kamila, who was resting with her eyes closed. "Eileen said she's leaving Alverton and going back to Onaland for good!" "Don't believe her," Kamila scoffed, opening her eyes. "She just thinks you're a tougher nut to crack than Tilda, so she's trying to trick you. She's probably already called your father to tell him you're faking the pregnancy. Enough of this nonsense. Get back to the hospital and make sure everything's in place." The driver started the car. Jaliyah mumbled under her breath, "I don't think she's the type to lie."
"Who is?" Kamila snapped. “Do I look like I'm lying to you? Remember when Eileen told Tilda she wouldn't e get involved in her business, and you said Tilda was dumb for believing her? Well, look who's the dumb one now!" Jaliyah was rendered speechless. She went back to the hospital and was admitted.
Eileen was troubled by the whole Dalores situation. She hadn't gone back to the hospital yet, still unsure if she should tell Juthe truth.
When she got to VQ Group, Raymond had just delivered Bryan's, lunch! Bryan hadn't eaten yet.
