The CEO’s Obsession: Layla, You’re Not Allowed to Die Chapter 563
“Miss Xander, I really messed up. I deserved this.”Kiera’s voice cracked as tears streamed down her face. She clung tightly to Layla’s hands, trembling from head to toe.Layla remained silent, her expression unreadable. The only thing that surprised her was realizing Kiera had already known the baby in Xena’s belly belonged to Sean.If she knew all along, why wait until now?Was she still holding out hope for that man?The early morning sun spilled through the windows, bathing the room in a soft golden light.Kiera had cried herself out. Her face was pale and lifeless, her red-rimmed eyes dull and empty.Layla sat by the bed and asked quietly, “When did you find out Xena was pregnant with Sean’s child?”Kiera lowered her gaze. “I went overseas for medical treatment not long ago,” Kiera said softly. “Before I left, I didn’t feel comfortable leaving Sean home alone so I installed a hidden camera. I didn’t tell him. I was afraid he’d say I was overthinking things.“Then one day,

One hour later, Sean stormed into the hospital room and rushed to Kiera’s bedside.“Kiera, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? I looked for you all night. I was worried sick!”Kiera’s heart felt like a cold, hollow shell, but she still forced herself to put on a frightened expression.“I drank too much last night. I think someone tried to take me to a hotel room so I ran.”She turned to Layla and added, “Luckily, I ran into Miss Xander. If not for her, I don’t know what might’ve happened.”Sean followed her gaze and gave Layla a noticeably softer look.“Layla, thank you.”The casual intimacy in his tone made Layla nauseous. She didn’t even bother responding, keeping her eyes only on Kiera.“Miss Jenkins, you really shouldn’t drink so much when you’re out,” she said flatly. “With your tolerance, it’s just asking for trouble.”Kiera nodded obediently. “I understand.”At that moment, William entered the room. He didn’t spare Sean a glance and addressed Layla with quiet conce

Kiera forced a smile, but only she knew how much she was bleeding inside.Outside the hospital, she stood at the curb, waiting for Sean to pull up. But the car never came.Instead, her phone rang.“Hey, Kiera, something urgent came up at the office. I really need to deal with it. I’m so sorry. Could you grab a cab home first? I’ll be there later tonight.”She didn’t press him. Just quietly replied, “Okay.”When the call ended, Kiera slowly lowered her phone. Even in the warm morning sun, she felt ice cold.Once again, she asked herself the question she had tried so hard to ignore, “What kind of man did I marry?”*Meanwhile, Sean didn’t go to the office. He was headed straight to North City Women’s & Children’s Hospital.He had barely gotten into his car earlier when he received a call.“Hi, is this Miss Xena Xander’s emergency contact? She’s been in a car accident. There was some bleeding. She’s stable for now, but we need someone to come down.”Without hesitation, he chose

Kiera took a cab home from the hospital. Just as she stepped out of the car, a figure rushed up and grabbed her arm, making her jump.“Kiera! Where did you two go last night?”Startled, she turned around and saw Susan looking unusually excited. Kiera had a pretty good guess.“Mom, what’s going on? Did something happen?”“I…” Susan swallowed hard, her eyes flashing with venom. “Let’s go inside. We’ll talk there.”Once they were in the villa, Susan couldn’t wait to sit down before blurting out what had happened with the car accident.Kiera stared at Susan in shock. “Mom, weren’t you afraid something might go wrong?”“If something goes wrong, then so be it. That bitch Xena deserves it!”Susan scowled in disgust. “She seduced Sean in the first place, and that’s why he couldn’t take over the Perry family’s business. And now she dares stand in his way again? I’d be thrilled if she died.”The venom in Susan’s eyes made Kiera’s stomach turn. After all this time living under the same r

“She didn’t tell me,” Sean snapped, his voice tight with frustration. “And don’t worry about how I found out. Just do us all a favor and stop causing trouble.”“Trouble? How is this trouble?” Susan shot back, indignant. “I planned everything carefully. There’s no way Xena or her people can trace it back to me.”She lifted her chin smugly. “As long as she loses the baby, what can they use to challenge your claim to the inheritance? Sean, you should be thanking me!”“I said,” Sean ground out, his patience gone, “the baby is off limits.”Susan frowned, confused by his anger. “Why? If she actually gives birth, and the old man decides to hand the Perry estate to Felix out of happiness, it’ll be too late for regrets!”“Because that baby…”He was just about to say “is mine” when the door creaked open.Kiera stood there quietly, her expression uncertain. “Sean… Mom only did this for our sake. Don’t be so harsh on her.”“Exactly!” Susan straightened her back proudly. “Everything I’ve do

A week passed before Layla heard about Kiera again. In the meantime, Hannah had officially started planning the launch of her magazine.Layla was busy juggling meetings at QS Entertainment and editing the short video for the art exhibit. Her schedule was so packed that she barely had time to think about anything else.It was by chance that Hannah found out Seth Mason had helped with the filming and editing of the video. She immediately begged Layla to introduce them. She was eager to get to know him. Layla could only agree for now, saying they would set something up once the editing was done.That morning, right after a meeting, Layla received a call from William.“Levi just got word that Kiera faked a medical report to pretend she’s pregnant.”“What?” Layla was stunned for a moment before quickly realizing what Kiera was trying to do.To Sean, Xena’s child was an illegitimate one, something that would tarnish his reputation. But Kiera’s child? That would be a legitimate Perry he

The baby in Xena’s belly was still his flesh and blood.Sean’s mind was a mess. He didn’t even know what to say. Kiera’s sudden pregnancy had caught him completely off guard.Noticing his silence, Susan’s expression darkened. “What are you just standing there for? Kiera’s pregnant, and you’re not happy? When Xena got pregnant, Felix was so thrilled he practically flew into the sky!“No, I’ve got to find a time to bring Kiera back to the Perry estate. And I’ll make sure to show her off in front of Felix too!”Speak of the devil.The doorbell rang loudly before she could even finish her sentence.Sean stood up and checked the monitor. Sure enough, Felix was outside, slamming the bell like a madman.What was Felix doing here at this hour?Before Sean could think further, Felix had already lost his patience. He kicked the front door hard several times. “Susan Jasper, get out here!”Susan rushed over, panic written all over her face. “Why’s he looking for me?”“You think just beca

News that Felix had stormed into the nursing home spread fast.By the time William and Layla arrived, the entrance was a scene of chaos—complete with Layla’s own family standing there too.Layla didn’t spare the Xander family so much as a glance. Her gaze was cold as she turned to Felix, who was still making a scene. “This isn’t the Perry family estate. If you’re going to throw a tantrum, at least make sure you’re in the right place.”Felix spun around at the sound of her voice, so furious he actually laughed. “Perfect timing! You two—tell your damn guard dog to back off!”Mike remained calm and unmoved. He looked to William and reported in a low voice, “Mr. Lucas, they’ve been stirring up trouble for almost an hour now. I’m guessing word has already reached Mr. Perry Sr.”“Thanks for holding the line,” William replied quietly. He then turned toward the crowd outside and swept a cool gaze across them. “You all carry a bit of status in society, don’t you? So what are you doing caus

“What? You actually ran into Layla?”Sean’s voice exploded through the phone, sending a jolt of panic through Mr. Zimmer.Mr. Zimmer instinctively held the phone away from his ear, then spoke with a nervous tone, “I... I don’t even know how Mrs. Perry ended up near Mr. Mason’s banquet hall. And honestly, I’m not sure if Layla actually saw her.“Mr. Perry, I’ve been thinking... this whole thing’s kind of shady. Maybe it’s better if you don’t involve me after all.”It had all started during a dinner party. Sean brought up the idea after a few too many drinks, and the more they talked, the wilder the plan got.Fueled by alcohol, Mr. Zimmer hadn’t thought it through before agreeing to help stage a fake cheating scandal, framing Kiera for seducing him while drunk.So tonight, he and Sean had slipped something into her wine. After just two glasses, Kiera was already disoriented. Sean handed her off to him, saying she was his to do with as he pleased.Mr. Zimmer’s lust took over, and h
