NovelOnlineChapter 1409: As soon as she stepped out of the car, Amoura started crying and whining, acting hurt and confused, questioning why everyone seemed to side with Eileen over the invitation debacle. She insisted that she was sincere in wanting to repair their relationship. Couldn't two people with different views ever find common ground? At first, people thought Amoura's tears were part of her usual act. But as things unfolded, it becclear-she wasn't pretending anymore.
"I'm an old woman now. Even my own husband wouldn't dare cross me. I'm done pandering to that woman. We'll see what happens next." Amoura's words, delivered with a stern expression on her aging face, lacked authority and instead cacross as somewhat bitter. The camera lens, unforgiving in its clarity, captured every line and imperfection on her face, revealing the telltale signs of past cosmetic procedures.

This incident sent shockwaves through the business community. The Deleon family becpersona non grata at any event attended by Eileen and Bryan. It was clear to everyone who held the upper hand now.
Javier, surprisingly, remained unfazed. He continued with his usual routine, keeping a watchful eye on all projects related to the EB Group.
Eileen, unable to resist a subtle jab, casually remarked during a phone interview, "The Deleon family seems preoccupied with Colby these days. I hear he's been quite the busy bee, flitting from one social event to another, meeting all the eligible young ladies. And yet, he still hasn't found a wife."

Consequently, most of the families Amoura had carefully selected as potential matches for Colby promptly withdrew their daughters from the running.
This, finally, got Javier's attention, and he was far from pleased. "Don't worry, dear," Amoura said. "Colby is seeing a distant relative of the Meyer family. They've even met a few times. Let's give them stto get to know each other." Javier's patience was wearing thin. "Call Colby and tell him to chome. He has met countless women already. He should have made a decision by now. I want to see what he's playing at." Colby had already been introduced to dozens of women, so Javier wasn't particularly impressed by the woman from the Meyer family. Colby had also becincreasingly elusive recently.
Javier, as his father, felt compelled to intervene.
Determined to get to the bottom of things, Javier said, "Tell him to chtonight."
"That might not be possible," Amoura replied hesitantly. "He called mem earlier to say he was taking that EN.
woman to the movies tonight."
Javier frowned, turning to Amoura with a skeptical look. “Are you tellingColby confided this to you this to privately?" he questioned, his voice laced with disbelief.
One of the reasons Javier wanted to meet with Colby was because of the strained relationship between Colby and Amoura. Colby had never shown Amoura the respect she deserved as an elder. Javier believed he could leverage his paternal authority to pressure Colby into accepting Amoura's wishes, particularly regarding marriage. After all, opposing Amoura on such a significant matter would only be detrimental to Colby himself.
