Semua Bab The CEO’s Obsession: Layla, You’re Not Allowed to Die: Bab 631 - Bab 640

Layla slowly stood up, her gaze calm as she addressed the crowd. “I have experience with Perry Corporation's operations. Under Mr. Perry Sr.'s mentorship, I helped Sean Perry manage a subsidiary. The records are still archived. If necessary, I can provide them to the board for reference.”Her words made the room fall silent. Everyone quickly realized that Layla was accepting the responsibility Mr. Perry Sr. had entrusted to her.Seeing that the shares were genuinely about to fall into Layla’s hands, Wilfred's expression tightened with anxiety. “Managing a subsidiary is nothing like running the main company.”“You're absolutely right,” Layla replied, meeting his gaze without flinching. “That's why I will use my experience with the subsidiary as a foundation and continue learning to manage the main company.”She looked around at the hesitant faces in the room.“Everyone here has seen the current state of the company. You can either continue to let the Perry family manage it or trust

“I got it.”Sean ended the call abruptly, hesitated for a moment, and then glanced at Kiera. “Kiera, I… that was…”“It's about Xena, isn't it?” Kiera asked calmly.Sean paused, slightly taken aback. “Yeah.”“Go check on her. Just drop me off at the villa. The Jenkins family driver is already waiting for me outside.”Sean opened his mouth, trying to say something, but Kiera had already turned to look out the window, making it clear she didn’t want to continue the conversation.After a brief silence, he forced himself to speak. “I'll take care of everything as soon as possible. Please focus on resting and taking care of yourself while you’re at the Jenkins home.”Ever since Mr. Perry Sr.'s death, Sean had deliberately tried to forget about Xena, waiting for her to give in and sign the consent form for the surgery.Now, it seemed that moment had finally arrived.The car pulled up outside the villa. Kiera unfastened her seatbelt and stepped out without a word, not even a glance ba

The news that Xena had lost her uterus in surgery reached Layla’s ears before Xena even left the operating room.At the dining table, Levi’s voice came through William’s phone, which was on speaker.“It’s karma… pure and simple,” Levi sighed.“Absolutely,” Layla replied casually, using tongs to place a few slices of steak onto the sizzling grill in front of her, as though she were commenting on the weather.“I should probably pay her a visit. After all, she used to call me ‘sister’ with such enthusiasm. Now that she’s going through the worst time of her life, it would be heartless not to check in on her.”The rich aroma of the grilled meat filled the air, smoke curling up in gentle wisps, but her voice remained calm and emotionless, untouched by the warmth around her.*Two days later, Xena slowly opened her eyes, the bright sunlight flooding the room making her momentarily disoriented.Her last memory was of falling down the stairs. Panic gripped her, and she instinctively tri

“I’ll kill you!”Xena’s voice was a raw, furious scream. She tried to lunge at Layla, but pain surged through her abdomen, twisting her face in agony. She could barely move, let alone stand.“Layla!”Chris couldn’t watch any longer. His voice was sharp, his expression dark with anger.But Layla didn’t even spare him a glance. She turned away, her voice calm and dismissive. “We’re done here. Mike, let’s go.”She didn’t look back as she walked out, leaving Xena thrashing and screaming at the doorway, her voice hoarse with rage.“Layla! Come back here! I’ll kill you! Do you hear me? I’ll kill you!”Mrs. Xander’s heart broke as she rushed to her daughter’s side. “Xena, please calm down! Don’t listen to her! We’re still your family…”But Xena’s rage was a storm she couldn’t stop. She screamed and cried, her voice echoing through the hallway until doctors and nurses rushed in. They held her down and administered a sedative, and her thrashing slowly ceased as she fell into unconscious

“You’re a little too chatty today,” William remarked in a calm, almost warning tone.Xavier just shrugged off the subtle reprimand, choosing to completely ignore it. He leaned closer to Layla, launching into a dramatic account of the pressure he was under trying to handle the Lucas Corporation team. His storytelling was so animated and detailed that Layla found herself thoroughly entertained.Seeing her engaged, William didn’t bother interrupting. He simply watched Xavier’s performance in silence.Half an hour later, Xavier finally paused, feeling parched. He reached for his tea and took a long sip before continuing. “Oh, and guess what? Lucien couldn’t sit still. He actually called me himself, putting aside his pride. The mighty CEO of Lucas Corporation, begging for a meeting.“Following your suggestion, I had my assistant send him an official invitation. Signed by the president of YT Corporation, of course.” Xavier’s grin turned mischievous, his eyes sparkling with excitement. “I
