Chapter 1185:
“Mrs. Deleon, please behave yourself,” Bryan said, his eyes brimming with coldness.
With those words, Bryan turned and walked away, brushing off the spot where Presley had touched him. Turning
around, he noticed Eileen watching him, her arms crossed and her eyebrows slightly raised, a faint smile playing
on her lips.
“You have a handkerchief?” Bryan approached her and asked, his voice calm.
Eileen shook her head and replied, “What's the matter? She's not poisonous. She merely touched your shoulder.
Plus, you already dusted off where she touched. I noticed.”
Her tone had a tinge of sarcasm.
Yet, Bryan remained unfazed. “I need to wipe my eyes.”
Eileen couldn't hold back her laughter, but since others were around, she said, “You've been up to mischief all
day. I told Raymond not to invite the Deleon family. How did they get in?”
Leaning against a pillar, Bryan frowned, glancing around casually, nodding at others at the banquet from tto
time. Throughout this period, he couldn't stop wondering how the Deleon family had managed to attend the
event. “Stay here, and I'll go over there to greet the elders of our family.” Bryan caught sight of speople
from the corner of his eye. His grip on Eileen’s waist tightened. He leaned in and whispered in her ear before
departing.
Eileen nodded and observed Bryan as he mingled with a group of men.
Suddenly, Amoura and Presley approached Eileen.
Seeing them, Eileen, without looking up, intended to leave, but Presley stopped her, saying, “Miss, why do you
want to leave? Are you scared or something?”

“Could it be that | simply don’t want to see you?” Eileen responded coldly, her gaze distant. “Even though this is
a Dawson family event, | won't hesitate to do something if you cause any trouble.” She warned Amoura and
Presley.
Amoura responded with a smile, “Let's not speak like that. Why don’t we just smile at each other and be nice?”
“I'm sorry, | can’t force a smile for a rigid, plastic face,” Eileen replied. “I really shouldn't smile. Faking wrinkles
isn't easy, and excessive injections might lead to complications as you age.”
She was not considering Amoura’s feelings at all.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Amoura’s face flushed with embarrassment due to Eileen’s cutting
remarks.
“Mrs. Clawson, is it really appropriate
for you to speak to her like that?”
