All Chapters of The CEO’s Obsession: Layla, You’re Not Allowed to Die: Chapter 481 - Chapter 490

Once Layla’s crew arrived in town, the promo shoot finally started moving forward step by step.Layla was so busy she barely had time to catch her breath, let alone chat with William. Most nights, the moment her head hit the pillow, she was out cold.As for William, he spent his days quietly hanging around the edge of the filming site, keeping his presence as low-key as possible.But even so, that didn’t stop her crew from whispering among themselves.“Hey, do you think Mr. Lucas and Miss Xander are a thing?”“Who knows? But I gotta say, look at Mr. Lucas showing up here every single day. That level of dedication? Tell me that’s not romantic.”“Pfft. That’s such a double standard. If he’s handsome, it’s romantic. If he’s ugly, it’s creepy.”“True, true.”Bits and pieces of gossip drifted into Layla’s ears, but with so much work to juggle and such a tight deadline, she really didn’t have the energy to care.Besides, deep down, she knew perfectly well that she was already gettin

At the Perry estate, Felix stormed back from the nursing home, still fuming with anger. Wilfred, who had heard enough of his ranting over the years, was already growing impatient.“Alright, enough already. If you’ve got the guts, go yell at William Lucas instead,” Wilfred said flatly.“Dad, don’t think I won’t!” Felix snapped, still riding his temper. “William’s not even the president of Lucas Corporation anymore! For all we know, the Lucas family might’ve already cut him off. To me, he’s nothing now!“I’m gonna find out exactly where he’s hiding, and I’ll go confront him myself! Who does he think he is, locking up Grandpa like that? Refusing to let us see him? That’s illegal!”Wilfred shot him an unimpressed look. “Did you forget Grandpa left with him willingly? If you go kicking up a fuss and Grandpa ends up defending him, aren’t you just making a fool of yourself?”Felix snorted, completely unconvinced. “This time’s different! I’ve got something big to tell Grandpa. He’s going

At the Xander estate, Xena stared at her phone, almost able to picture Sean fuming on the other end of the line. The faint curve of her lips betrayed her satisfaction.“Xena, stop staring at your phone. It’s not good for the baby,” Mrs. Xander said, her eyes glued to Xena’s belly like it was the most precious thing in the world. She looked both thrilled and content.Earlier today, it was Felix who had personally driven Xena back to the Xander estate. Even before heading to the nursing home, he had reminded her over and over to take good care of herself. The way he fussed over her was something Mrs. Xander had never seen before.Clearly, that baby meant everything to Felix. And with that child, Xena marrying into the Perry family was practically guaranteed.“Mom, the radiation from a phone is not going to hurt the baby. Don’t overthink it,” Xena replied with a soft chuckle.“Still, you need to take better care of yourself. A healthy baby means a happy relationship with Felic, remem

After hearing what Felix said, Mr. Xander’s expression darkened.Ever since Layla had come back alive, their family had never gone out of their way to mess with her. But her very existence kept getting in their way. And now, she was even standing in the way of Xena’s marriage.Seeing Mr. Xander hesitate, Felix quickly pressed his advantage. “Mr. Xander, you are Layla’s father. Maybe... you could talk to her? Maybe she’d give you some face and agree to let me see my grandpa.“If Grandpa gives us his blessing, I promise I’ll marry Xena properly right away. She won’t have to wait any longer.”That kind of promise was hard for Mr. Xander to resist.After a long pause, he finally nodded. “Alright. I’ll see what I can do.”Felix beamed. “Great! I’ll wait for your good news then, Mr. Xander.”Mrs. Xander had been sitting nearby, watching this whole exchange. Once Felix left, she quickly walked over to Mr. Xander’s side. “Are you really planning to go see her?”“Chris and Shane tried l

It had been over a month since William left the Lucas estate.During that time, Mr. Lucas Sr. never once mentioned his name. It was as if, by refusing to speak of him, he could pretend that son of his didn’t exist at all.But everyone in the house could tell Mr. Lucas Sr. wasn’t doing well. He seemed irritable every day, constantly nitpicking and losing his temper over the smallest things.The staff couldn’t help but miss the days when William was still living at home. Back then, Mr. Lucas Sr. had always been in good spirits, smiling often and treating them kindly.Of course, Lucien noticed Mr. Lucas Sr.’s bad mood too. No matter how busy he was, he always made time to keep Mr. Lucas Sr. company, playing chess and casually bringing up company matters while he was at it.With William gone, Lucien had been working overtime to win his father over. He figured that as long as he put in enough effort, one day, he might just take William’s place in his father’s heart.Until one afternoo
