Chapter 990: "Why didn't you listen to me? Why did you cback?” Leyla asked, her voice tinged with concern.

Leyla sighed again and settled into a chair. “He belongs to an influential family that dominates both the political and business realms of Alverton." Eileen was still puzzled. "What does he want with me? I haven't violated any laws or disturbed the business field." Leyla replied, "Your mother took charge of VQ Group at just eighteen. Due to her youth, she was framed, plunging the company into dire straits. It was the Brown family that cto her aid. In return, she agreed they could make a request, as long as it wasn't malicious. However, she hadn't anticipated that shortly after your birth, they would ask for you to marry their two-year-old son in the future. Your mother said no. She understood the significance of love for a person. Yet, the Brown family insisted repeatedly that they would treat you well. They pressured her until she had to consent." After a pause, she added, "At the time, your mother was only looking out for immediate benefits. She planned to secretly send you abroad if you disagreed with the marriage when you grew up. But then you went missing, and the issue was postponed until now. It seems the Brown family has recently learned of your return." "The Brown family?" Eileen asked, her mind racing. She had heard of them before. During her stay in Onaland, she had dined with several government and business leaders. They had mentioned that the Brown family was uniquely engaged in both politics and business.
The head of the Brown family had distinctly defined his sons' careers: one followed him into government, while the other embarked on a business venture. One son took his father's surnwhile the other took his mother's. To let them openly engage in both the political and business sectors, their parents had even divorced. Despite the fact that everyone knew the true reason behind the divorce, there was nothing anyone could do; legally, there were no issues with that. The man the Brown family wanted Eileen to marry was the one involved in politics.
"Grandma, there's no need to worry," Eileen quickly replied. "He's a high-standing politician. I'm already married with a child. How could they possibly still want me? Just tell them my situation!" Leyla looked at her intently. "It's more complicated than you think. The Brown family's son, once a handsand..." The engaged man was about to be married before, but a car accident impaired his brain, and his fiancée backed out of the marriage.

"I was just a newborn when the agreement was made. Why were they so eager to havemarried into their family before?"
Given the Brown family's status, there was no need to secure their son's marriage so prematurely. If the Vazquez family were to falter in the future, it could prove burdensto the Brown family.
"Well, I really don't know. I was shocked when they made such a request. Your mother also couldn't understand why they were in such a rush to arrange the marriage.” Leyla paused thoughtfully.
