Chapter 949: "Impossible! If it had nothing to do with us, you wouldn't be asking about the Byrd family's relationship with our family in the first place!" She jumped to her feet and started pacing, her hands on her hips.
"I know what that old witch is up to! She wants to getin an early grave, but I'll outlive her! I'll—” "Grandma!" Eileen interjected.

But it's all sorted out now, and the Byrd family gave us sinformation." If she didn't cclean now, Eileen believed Leyla would probably storm the Byrd family mansion and give that old woman a piece of her mind.
She left out the part about the Aston family's involvement in all of this.
Leyla wasn't too bothered now, knowing her reputation was intact and the matter had been resolved easily. "He's just a pawn. The real threat is Gianna. That woman has learned a lot from the Vazquez family. She's cunning. She playedlike a fool before; I was in the dark about her kid with Conroy for so long." "You're right." Eileen had already figured that out. Conroy probably hadn't known about the Byrd family's relationship with the Aston family, which led to the mess.
Now, Conroy was just Gianna's tool. Eileen knew she needed a plan to take him down and leave Gianna without her leverage. Just then, Eileen's phone rang. It was Raymond calling.

If it's not enough, he'll gather the rest in two weeks. He's begging for a chance." "No way," Eileen replied, without hesitation.
Raymond paused for a moment before saying, "Mr. Dawson toldthe same. He just asked if you want to give him a harsher sentence." Eileen thought about it for a moment and then said, "As long as he pays back the money, let the judge decide his sentence." Even with a regular sentence, and even if Conroy somehow managed to avoid prison, he wouldn't be able to cback from this. He wouldn't be able to turn the tables.

While waiting for the procedure to unfold, Eileen visited Dalores at the hospital a few times, Dalores wasn't looking too good she appeared pale, juggling work, taking care of Emerson, and... She mentioned she went hevery night and didn't return until late the next day.
Emerson needed chemo and had to stay in the sterile ward. Daloresm hesitated but eventually chose to let the caregiver accompany Emerson into the sterile ward. The thought of not seeing Emerson for days broke her heart, and she couldn't hold back the tears.
After recording svideos for the online sessions, Dalores went to Dalores went to the bathroom, washed her face, and put on smakeup. Then, she headed straight to Julia's place.
