Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 1242:

Eileen was stunned for a moment before saying, “Leave!”

“Alright.” Raymond quickly left without another word. Eileen couldn’t help but feel resigned by Raymond’s reaction earlier. Still, her trust in both Bryan and Raymond remained strong, so she shrugged it off and returned to her office to continue working.

At the hospital, the moment Raymond stepped out of the EB Group building, he got a call from the police officer, telling him to head over to the hospital.

It wasn’t until he arrived at the hospital that he realized the situation was far worse than he had initially thought.

“Mr. Brooks, it appears your sister was driving under the influence, and the person she hit is in pretty bad shape. If they decide to press charges, it’s not just about paying compensation—your sister will have a criminal record and face detention for a while,” the police officer explained.

After laying out the situation, the officer added in a lower voice, “It might just be bad luck, but a reporter was nearby and has been recording the whole thing, which complicates the matter.”

If the injured person decided to take legal action, there was no way Raymond could keep this under wraps. Simply put, if Raymond hoped to resolve this quietly, he would have to do whatever the injured person asked.

“Thank you. Do you know where the family of the injured is? I’d like to speak with them first,” Raymond said, feeling a heavy pit form in his stomach.

He had hoped that Luella would settle down and secure a stable job.

As for himself, he was confident about his own career, but he knew that this kind of criminal record could tarnish his family’s future, impacting generations to come.

That was why settling this matter privately seemed like the only way to avoid long-term damage.

The officer glanced around and pointed toward a direction. “They’re in the doctor’s office right now, waiting for the test results. Two of my colleagues are in there as well.”

“I see,” Raymond said, heading toward the doctor’s office. Just as he was about to step inside, he noticed a group of people emerging from the office. In the middle of them was Presley.

Raymond immediately stopped in his tracks as he suddenly realized something.

“It’s you, Bryan’s assistant,” Presley said. “Well, this makes things easier. Turns out your sister hit one of my distant relatives.”

Distant relative? Maybe the kind their ancestors were related to centuries ago. Thinking of this, Raymond held his silence, anticipating more from Presley.

“Mr. Brooks, perhaps we could discuss this privately instead of in front of an audience?” Presley said. Before Raymond could even answer, Presley shot a subtle look behind her. The guys following her got the hint and left.

Presley then moved to the corridor’s end. When Raymond caught up, Presley was wearing a smile that gave him the creeps.

“Mr. Brooks, we are friends here. There’s no need for you to be nervous,” Presley said.noveldrama
