Chapter 448

Author: Eli Sole
Outside the door, Layla hesitated, unsure if she should ring the bell.

Suddenly, the door swung open.

She froze for a second when she came face-to-face with William.

“You need something?” he asked.

Snapping out of it, Layla cleared her throat. “Uh… I just wanted to check if you’ve eaten. I made a little too much food tonight.”

“I haven’t eaten yet. Let’s go.”

Without waiting for her response, William walked right past her and headed straight into the apartment next door like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Layla followed behind, feeling more and more puzzled. Why did it feel like William was getting way too comfortable around here? He didn’t even bother with the usual polite small talk anymore.

She watched him sit down at the dining table like he owned the place. After hesitating for a moment, she sat across from him and casually served him a bowl of soup.

Then, almost without thinking, she started, “I don’t know what your plan is, but if—”

“Let’s eat first.”

  • The CEO’s Obsession: Layla, You’re Not Allowed to Die   Chapter 822

    “How I know doesn’t matter. What matters now is that you can’t think like this.”“And how should I think?”Suddenly, Carly shot to her feet, her emotions surging. “Something happened to me, and all they care about is how ashamed I’ve made this family!“Am I the one at fault? I’m the victim here! The one who should be ashamed is Shane, that bastard! Not me!“Did you see the extra security all over the house? They’re afraid I’ll run off! Afraid I’ll make this public! Afraid I’ll taint the Lucas family name!“Am I really so filthy?”Tears streamed down her face. Even her voice trembled uncontrollably as she cried out.Her raw grief and pain hit Layla square in the heart. For a moment, she couldn’t speak. All she could do was step forward and gently pull the broken girl into her arms.“Carly… you’re not filthy.”Fighting back her own tears, Layla whispered, “The one who’s filthy is Shane. He deserves to die for what he’s done. I’ll stand with you. We’ll go after him together. Some

    There wasn’t a trace of light in Carly’s eyes. They were empty, like a barren wasteland stripped of life.Layla’s heart clenched. Her hatred for Shane grew even stronger.Quietly, she balled her fists. She wanted to say something, but no words would come.The two of them sat in heavy silence.It was Carly who finally broke it. “Did you come here to pity me?”Her voice was hoarse, like it hadn’t been used in days, muffled and raw.Layla quickly shook her head. “No, no... that’s not why I’m here.”“I left the studio without a second thought. I said such awful things to you. I won’t lie—I really was hoping the studio would fail.“But… in the end, it was me who was proven wrong.“Layla, I’ll admit it—you really are incredible. You deserved my admiration. You never let me down. I’m the one who let you down.”Carly spoke as if to herself, the words having sat buried in her heart long before any of this happened.Carter had tried to persuade her many times. He told her to let go of

    For a long time, there was no response from inside the room.Scarlett frowned and turned to Layla. “It looks like Carly doesn’t want to see us.”“Let me try.”Layla stepped forward and knocked softly. “Carly, will you let me see you? You know it’s not easy for me to get inside the Lucas estate. If I miss this chance, I may not get another.“I don’t want to leave without seeing you. If you’re still unsure, I can wait. I’ll wait until you’re ready to open the door.”Just then, Zion and Camila came rushing over. The moment Zion saw Layla, his expression turned dark.“What are you doing here?” he demanded angrily.He strode forward and reached out to shove Layla aside, but Scarlett quickly stepped in front of her. “I brought her here. What do you think you’re doing?”Zion looked stunned. “You… you brought her? Since when does she have any right to interfere in Lucas family matters?”“She just wants to talk to Carly. She’s trying to help her! And here you are, attacking someone wit

    Scarlett leaned in and whispered a quick explanation, then confidently led Layla toward Mr. Lucas Sr. She walked with her head held high, showing not the slightest hint of fear.Mr. Lucas Sr. glanced at their joined hands, then looked back at Scarlett, his expression darkening.Scarlett shot him a glare. “What are you looking at? We’re not divorced yet, which still makes me the lady of this house. I have every right to be here.”With that, she made to walk past him. But just as she moved, Mr. Lucas Sr. grabbed her other hand.“You can come back. But why are you bringing her?” he asked in a low, hard voice.“I’ll bring whoever I want.”Scarlett yanked her hand free. When she saw him sway slightly, she instinctively reached out to steady him.Fortunately, he was gripping his cane. Though he stumbled, he didn’t fall.Scarlett quickly pulled her hand back, watching him silently for a moment.“Had it really only been a few days? He looked older already,” she thought.Sensing the

    Just moments ago, Chris had been full of talk about blood ties and family loyalty. Now, he was already flipping sides, practically volunteering to turn his brother in.His change of heart was faster than flipping a page—truly a sight to behold.Realizing this, a cold smirk tugged at Layla’s lips. Her voice dripped with mockery. “Fine. Then you’d better keep a close eye on him. Until this is fully investigated, don’t let him run.“If we can’t find him later, I’ll have no choice but to assume you warned him.”Her smile faded, eyes turning icy. “And if that happens, the entire Xander family will have to answer for Shane.”Chris felt a chill run down his spine. He nodded solemnly. “Alright.”After Chris left, Layla sat alone in the reception room, staring out at the blue sky, her mind racing.She wasn’t one to be swayed by his threats, but he hadn’t been wrong about one thing.If Shane really was behind this, how would she face the Lucas family? Would she end up forcing William to

    Layla’s expression turned cold as she snapped at him, her voice sharp and biting.Chris still said nothing. He didn’t even dare meet her eyes.“Shane is a monster! He’s not going to get away with this!”Layla pulled out her phone. “I’m calling the police right now. If he had the nerve to do it, then he can—”Before she could finish, Chris lunged forward and snatched the phone from her hands.“Layla, I’m not sure about any of this!” he blurted out in a panic. “It’s just my suspicion. That’s why I came to you. I know this can’t stay hidden forever. If Shane really did this, it’s only a matter of time before it comes out.“But think about it—if it really was Shane, the Xander family is finished! And what about you? Have you thought about that? You’re with Mr. Lucas now. One day, you’re going to marry into the Lucas family.“If the truth comes out and you’re still known as Shane’s sister, even if you disown us, the Lucases will never accept you. Are you really willing to risk losing
