All Chapters of The CEO’s Obsession: Layla, You’re Not Allowed to Die: Chapter 401 - Chapter 410

Hannah finally spoke after a long pause. “Layla, I want to start my own fashion magazine. And I want you to be the lead photographer. What do you think?“I’ve got connections in the entertainment industry. You've got the talent and the name. With the two of us working together, there’s no way this magazine fails.“If we do this right, we could turn it into one of the top fashion magazines in the country. People would be lining up just to get a cover.“It’s the fastest way to turn your skills into money. Like a money tree...”“Hannah.”Layla gently cut her off, her gaze suddenly more serious. “That all sounds great. And I do remember you used to talk about starting your own fashion magazine. But have you forgotten what you said back then?”Back then, Hannah had deliberately gotten close to her because she wanted to convince her to start a fashion magazine together.But at the time, Layla was still studying under Jenny, with a lot left to learn. Hannah, too, was immersed in

“Get her out of here!” At Scarlett’s command, the bodyguards stepped forward.Ivan quickly moved to shield Layla, turning to plead with Scarlett. “Aunt Scarlett, can’t you just ask her to leave? There’s no need to get physical. I’ll walk Miss Xander out, okay?”As he spoke, he gently nudged Layla’s arm. “Miss Xander, come with me.”Layla’s mind was still spinning. She couldn’t make sense of anything.William had been in that car accident because of her and now he didn’t even want to see her? How could that possibly make sense?Seeing her frozen in place, Scarlett snapped impatiently, “Letting you leave on your own is already me being generous. You, more than anyone, should know why William’s in the hospital right now.“He’s done so much for you, and all you’ve ever done is hurt him. Do you even have a conscience?“Let me be clear today. William and Gwen will absolutely end up together. Our families will see to it. They’re the perfect match.“You, on the other hand—you’re jus

Just as Sean was struggling to find the right words to deal with Xena, a familiar voice called out from the hallway.“Sean!”It was Kiera.Sean seized the moment to brush things off. “Xena, I really do want to handle this as soon as possible, but now’s just not the right time, okay? Please, be patient a little longer.“I’ve got something else I need to take care of. Let’s talk later.”With that, Sean ended the call and turned back to find Kiera.Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, Xena slowly lowered the phone, her lips parting in disbelief before she pressed them together in frustration.“Here we go again… just more waiting,” she muttered.When would the timing finally be right? Was she supposed to wait until everything just magically fell into place?Xena clenched her jaw, her eyes turning sharp with resentment. “You think I’ll just wait because you say so? I’m not the same Xena from three years ago.”As she spoke, she gripped the test report tighter, as if it were a

A full week had passed, and Layla still hadn’t shown up at the hospital. There was not even a single message asking about him.By the time William was ready for discharge, he was in a foul mood, surrounded by an air of cold hostility that warned everyone to stay away.Inside the hospital room, the atmosphere was tense. No one dared speak, as if even the slightest noise might set off a ticking time bomb.Suddenly, a voice broke through the silence.“Uncle William!”Carter came rushing in, dragging a suitcase behind him. Completely unaware of the dark look on William’s face, he immediately launched into a rant.“You guys are way too good at keeping secrets! Seriously, am I not part of this family?“If I hadn’t called my mom after getting back and heard her accidentally let it slip, how much longer were you planning on keeping me in the dark about the accident?“I was abroad for work, not on another planet! You could’ve told me. It’s my uncle we’re talking about here! What kind of

Layla took a steady breath. “I just spoke with the old lady downstairs. She said the family across from her in Unit 802 hasn’t been around for over two weeks.“Before I came, I also talked to the landlord. He said the apartment was rented by a family of three. The husband worked as a security guard for one of the Lucas Corporation’s subsidiaries, the wife stayed home full-time to care for their child, and the kid apparently has some health issues and goes to the hospital frequently.”She pulled a folded sheet of paper from her pocket and held it out to William. “Here’s their information. You can track their whereabouts by checking which hospital the child visited most recently.“Since you’re already here, why don’t you go talk to Dr. Young and look into the kid’s medical records? That should lead you to them pretty quickly.”Despite the intensity of William’s stare, Layla remained composed, meeting his eyes with calm certainty.When he didn’t respond, she raised a brow slightly. “
