The CEO’s Obsession: Layla, You’re Not Allowed to Die Chapter 818
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

That night, Carter stayed over.William walked Layla back to the house next door. The two of them stood at her door for a moment.“If you need me to, I can go visit Carly,” Layla offered softly. “She needs someone to talk to right now. Maybe she’d listen to me.”“She’s at the Lucas estate. It won’t be easy for you to get close to her,” William replied. Then he teased her on purpose. “What’s this? Getting into the role of her aunt already?”Layla frowned. “You’re still in the mood to joke?”“You’re just too tense.”William reached out and gently tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear. “I’m handling this. You don’t need to get involved.“Besides, it’s better if you stay clear of Lucas family matters. It won’t do you any good.”As he spoke, his hand slid behind her neck. He leaned down and pressed a light kiss to her forehead. “Goodnight. Get some rest.”Before Layla could react, he had already turned and walked back to his own house.*The next day, Layla’s assistant

Sobbing, Camila buried her face in Zion’s chest, her cries soon turning to quiet gasps.Zion’s heart ached for her. He gently placed a hand on her trembling back, letting her cry for a while before speaking softly. “Lucien spoke to me earlier. He’s going to take charge of the investigation. He’s more capable than I am. I’m sure he’ll get us answers soon.“For now, I want to focus all my energy on staying by your side and Carly’s. We’ll help her through this together.”Camila looked up at him, eyes still wet with tears, her voice hesitant. “Are you sure we can trust Lucien with this?”Zion frowned. “How can you even doubt him? Everything I’ve achieved was thanks to his support. Have you forgotten how much he’s done for this family?”“It’s not that…”Camila bit her lip and lowered her gaze, avoiding Zion’s eyes. “It’s just... it wasn’t Lucien’s people who found Carly. It was William’s. Maybe he would be better at handling this.“After all, he is Carly’s uncle too. He helped find h

Out in the courtyard, the weather was perfect. The sun was warm, the scenery inviting.Unfortunately, Zion was in no mood to enjoy any of it.The moment he stepped outside, he instinctively pulled out his lighter and a pack of cigarettes. He offered one to Lucien, but Lucien waved him off. Zion stuck a cigarette between his lips and lit it.In just two days, he had barely put the cigarettes down. His entire body now reeked of smoke.Lucien studied him for a while, then let out a heavy sigh. “Zion, you shouldn’t dwell on this too much. As long as the news doesn’t get out, it won’t have too big an impact on Carly’s future…”“Won’t have too big an impact?”Zion suddenly cut him off, lifting his gaze through the swirl of smoke. His eyes burned with a mix of shock and anger.“Lucien, you’re Carly’s uncle. How can you even say that? Do you have any idea what she’s been through?“I’m trying to protect her future, yes. But what about her present? From that night until now, Carly hasn’t

That was exactly why Shane backed off.He was afraid that once he took her body, her heart would drift even further away. That was the last thing he wanted.So he climbed out of bed and headed to the bathroom, taking a long, cold shower to force down the restless frustration still burning inside him.When he came back to the room, he carefully dressed Carly again and sat by her side, keeping watch the entire night.Thinking back on it now, he felt more than a little regret.Especially after hearing what Carly had said that morning.He hadn’t touched her at all, yet in her eyes, he was already a monster. It was a bitter pill to swallow.At the thought, Shane lifted a hand and slapped his own cheek, muttering in frustration, “I was never some saint to begin with. Why the hell was I trying to act like one at a time like that?”Thank God Xenos would handle the cleanup. Without him, no amount of explaining could have cleared his name.On the way home earlier, one of the men in blac
