Chapter 626

ผู้เขียน: Eli Sole
Inside the elevator, Levi quickly explained the situation. “During the second round of treatment just now, Mr. Perry Sr. went into cardiac arrest. Yuna is already trying to resuscitate him.

“Most of the remaining toxins in his body have been cleared, but just as Yuna feared from the beginning, his prolonged bed rest severely weakened him. His condition has always been critical.

“If…”

Levi hesitated, then sighed heavily.

Layla’s heart sank like a stone, and for a moment, her knees nearly gave way. Thankfully, William was there to catch her, his steady hand supporting her arm.

Instinctively, she clutched his hand, her wide, panicked eyes meeting his calm, steady gaze. She wanted to say something, but the words wouldn’t come.

William gave her a reassuring nod, silently urging her to stay calm, but a sense of dread clawed at her chest, impossible to shake.

When they reached the intensive care unit, every second of waiting felt like an eternity.

Wilfred paced anxiously in the corrid

    The call ended.William leaned back, a faint frown crossing his face. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something in Layla’s tone had been off. Had he said something wrong?A knock sounded at the door.“William, are you busy?” Scarlett’s voice came through, hesitant.William walked over and opened the door. “What is it?”“Well…” Scarlett seemed a bit nervous. “There’s something I wanted to discuss with you. Would you be able to join me for a dinner meeting tomorrow?”“A dinner meeting?” William’s gaze sharpened slightly. “Let me guess—Dad wants to see me?”Scarlett’s eyes widened in surprise. “How did you know?”“Why else would you invite me to a dinner gathering? You’re not dragging me to one of those ladies’ social circles, are you?” William replied casually.Scarlett let out an awkward laugh. “Of course not. My son really is sharp.”William leaned against the doorframe, his posture relaxed. “If he wants to see me, why not reach out directly? And aren’t you two talking abo

    Since that was the case, there was no need to beat around the bush.Gwen met Layla’s gaze directly. “Perry Corporation’s current situation and future direction are the hottest topics in the industry right now. And you, Miss Xander, are right at the center of it all. I’m surprised you still have the time to work here as a photographer.”“What others choose to focus on is beyond my control. I’ve always done what I want to do.”Layla’s voice was calm, her words a perfectly guarded defense, leaving no openings for Gwen to exploit.Gwen couldn’t help but feel frustrated. She picked up the floral tea and took a long sip, trying to suppress the rising anger in her chest.“You have become quite the industry legend, accomplishing so much in just a few months since returning to the country. Most people couldn’t dream of doing the same.”“I wouldn’t go that far.”Layla’s tone was light, but she could hear the restrained anger in Gwen’s voice. It amused her. After all, she hadn’t even confr

    Two days later, the first round of Perry Corporation’s internal competition took place smoothly.Over the course of the entire day, the candidates took turns delivering their presentations. Each one had ample time to showcase their qualifications, introduce their career histories, and share their plans for the company’s future. The panel of judges scored them, and the lowest-scoring participants were eliminated.Layla attended the entire session remotely, watching through a video conference from her computer.Simon’s performance wasn’t the most dazzling, but it was solid and reliable. His scores weren’t the highest, but they were enough to comfortably advance him to the next round.After meeting with Mr. Zane last time, Layla had become curious about Simon and even asked William to help her investigate his reputation in the industry.The feedback was consistent that Simon was known for being steady, reliable, and principled. Those who worked with him spoke highly of his integrity,

    “Filming must’ve worn you out. I’ll go back with you first.”“Sure, I’ll just go take off my makeup.”Olivia turned to her assistant, asking them to take Gwen back to the trailer while she and Lexi went to freshen up.Gwen waited in the trailer for nearly an hour before Olivia finally arrived, makeup-free but still effortlessly stunning.Lexi set the dinner boxes on the small dining table, then fixed Olivia with a stern look. “With Miss Harris here tonight, you better eat something.”“I know, I know. I will.”Olivia waved off Lexi with a smile. Once the door clicked shut, she propped her chin on her hand, leaning forward with a curious look. “So, your work has something to do with Layla?”“Yeah.”Gwen hesitated, then explained the situation with the interview, her mood dipping slightly.“Do you think I’m pathetic? I couldn’t even compete with her for William… and now I’m begging her for help with my job.”“Absolutely not!”Olivia’s response was immediate, a hint of excitemen

    “We can head over now.”The assistant’s voice pulled Gwen back to reality.“Okay.”Following behind, Gwen adjusted the brim of her baseball cap, pulling it lower over her face.“This scene is an indoor shoot. The main character is a woman who’s been suffering domestic abuse for years, and this is the first time she fights back…” The assistant explained as they walked, leading Gwen to the film set, which was already in action.The setting was a shabby, cramped mud-brick house. At a worn-out table, a group of burly, dark-skinned men were drinking, peanut shells scattered across the dirt floor. The actors' performances were so convincing that even from a distance, it felt like the air was thick with the stench of sweat and dirt.But Gwen’s gaze quickly shifted. It landed on Layla, who stood just behind the camera, dressed in all black. Her eyes were locked on the monitor, completely focused, her expression serious and intense.She was fully immersed in her work, her eyes bright and

    “I don’t want to talk to you anymore!” Olivia huffed, her frustration clear, but then she turned to Gwen with a softer expression. “So, how’s my mom doing lately?”“She’s doing well.”For some reason, Gwen always felt a bit tense around Olivia.“Aunt Olivia, Wilson asked me to pass on a message. He said he’ll definitely pay you back someday.” Gwen’s curiosity got the better of her. “What did you give him?”“Oh, nothing much.” Olivia waved it off casually, a faint smile playing at her lips. “Wilson’s always been polite with me, but I remember when he was little, he never hesitated to ask for money for toys or snacks.”She made it sound like nothing more than pocket change.But only Lexi knew the truth. Olivia had given Wilson all the savings she had painstakingly accumulated over the years. The Harris family company had been struggling with financial issues for a long time, and that money was a lifeline.Back then, the Lucas family had proposed a marriage alliance with the Harris
