Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 1099:

“Fortunately, it’s not a life-threatening injury, but he’ll need to rest and allow his arm time to heal,” Bryan replied calmly. “No need to worry about him too much.”

After a moment, Eileen breathed a sigh of relief. “The Aston family has been having a run of bad luck recently. He was probably distracted by everything happening, which is why he had the car accident. It’s fortunate that he’s not seriously injured.”

Bryan arched his eyebrows. “I thought you would like to visit him.” Considering her relationship with Keith… She really should go and visit him.

However, her ties with the Aston family had soured recently, and now, a life had been lost. She instinctively wanted to create space between herself and Keith, even to the point of establishing a clear boundary.

“Don’t tell my grandmother about this for now,” Eileen glanced at her phone, and there was no news about the accident. She suspected that the Aston family had intentionally kept the news under wraps.

After Jaliyah’s recent passing, the Aston family was likely worried that negative news would make them vulnerable.

After freshening up and taking Gabriela downstairs with her, Eileen had breakfast before heading out to the police station to inquire about the latest developments in the case.

After a night’s work, Eileen was finally able to see the driver of the Aston family.

As Eileen approached, the handcuffs clanked against the iron window bars. The man grasped the railing with both hands, fixing an intense gaze on her.

“Tell me who asked you to do this, and you may still have an opportunity for redemption,” Bryan said.

The man sneered. “I don’t need that. I’ll definitely go to jail for murder anyway.”

Bryan crossed his legs and tenderly stroked Eileen’s hand. His tone was calm as he issued a veiled threat. “Have you ever stopped to consider your family? You’re willing to go to prison for their sake. You don’t want to drag them down and make them suffer even more because of you, right?”

The man’s expression shifted abruptly, and he exclaimed, “Don’t do this to me! I’m just an ordinary person. What have I done?”

“All you have to do is tell me the truth, and I will help you. I’ll make sure your family is safe and taken care of,” Bryan said, his voice firm and unyielding.

Overcome with emotion, the man grasped the railing firmly, causing the handcuffs to dig into his wrists. There were several scratches on his hand.

Eileen remembered that, according to the forensic report, one of the peculiarities observed during Jaliyah’s post-mortem examination was the presence of skin tissue beneath her fingernails. These scratches must have been left by Jaliyah’s struggle.

Bryan grew increasingly distressed. “They are all innocent!”

Seeing his threat work, Bryan passed a cigarette to the man through the bars and said, “I’m a man of my word.”

The man turned around and noticed that the guard who had been there was now gone. It was clear that Bryan’s influence was beyond his league, leaving him with no ground to negotiate.

He accepted the cigarette and lit it. Taking a drag, he slowly spoke, his voice steadying.
