Semua Bab The CEO’s Obsession: Layla, You’re Not Allowed to Die: Bab 711 - Bab 720

For a full twenty minutes, Sean gave a deeply emotional apology for his cheating scandal. At one point, tears streamed down his face, and he choked up so badly he could barely continue.“I made a terrible mistake that brought shame to the entire company,” he said, his voice weak. “These past few weeks in the hospital, I’ve spent every day drowning in regret. I keep thinking about my grandfather’s words.“If I had truly taken his teachings to heart, I never would’ve strayed so far or ended up in this position. Everything that’s happened is a consequence of my own actions.“I hope the three candidates can learn from my mistakes. When you’re in a position of power, you must be even more cautious in your words and actions. Always put the company first. Never forget why you started.”When he finished, Sean bowed deeply to the camera and stayed bowed for a long time.Watching the screen, Layla nearly clapped. The performance was that convincing.He had expertly framed the affair as a p

As online buzz continued to intensify, Perry Corporation’s internal selection process finally reached its most critical moment.After counting the votes, Simon had secured support from more than half of the employees—an overwhelming lead, far ahead of the other two candidates.Naturally, the other two candidates were clearly unhappy.“There’s got to be something wrong with the voting system! How could he possibly have that many votes?”“He totally gamed the system! He only focused on employee benefits because he knew the vote was today! In Perry Corporation’s current situation, what’s the point of focusing inward?”“Exactly! The company’s already hit rock bottom. This is the time we need unity and real solutions. He didn’t offer a single plan to help the company, just tried to win over the staff. How can someone like that be a leader?”“Enough,” Mr. Zane snapped, slamming his cane against the floor. “The board’s votes haven’t even been announced yet. What’s the rush?”The room f

The outcome was sealed.As Simon was surrounded by well-wishers, the Perry family members left the selection site with dark expressions.Once they entered the underground parking garage, Wilfred suddenly turned and exploded at Sean.“Why didn’t you say something back there? What, you still think you can play it safe and stay out of this?“This is all your fault! Do you even realize that? If you hadn’t let your urges get the better of you, we never would’ve ended up dealing with that venomous woman, Layla Xander!“I knew from the moment your mother brought you into this family—you were nothing but bad luck. Useless garbage!”Felix jumped in, fanning the flames. “Dad, I bet he kept quiet on purpose. He’s just trying to leave himself a way out—so he can go crawling back to Layla later, wagging his tail, hoping to patch things up!”“Looks like being unable to keep it in your pants runs in the family.”Sean finally spoke, his voice icy cold. He stared at Wilfred without a hint of ex

Kiera didn’t look back once as she walked out of the courthouse.Her parents quickly rushed over. “How did it go?” Mrs. Jenkins asked anxiously.“It went fairly smoothly. Next is the asset division process. Once we sign, the divorce will be finalized,” Kiera replied calmly.Her attorney stepped in to elaborate, “Given Mr. Perry’s negative impact on the family’s reputation, we’ll pursue every bit of compensation Kiera deserves.”“Thank you,” Kiera said with a polite nod. “I couldn’t have done it without you.”“I was just doing my job,” the lawyer replied with a kind smile, though there was sympathy in his eyes. “Even after all the cases I’ve handled, seeing that kind of evidence again… I understand why you were too heartbroken to speak.“I’ve seen a lot of people in your position. Filing for divorce is like cutting out dead flesh. It hurts, deeply. But it’s necessary.”He gently patted Kiera on the shoulder. “One day, you’ll look back and be grateful you made the decision you did

Meanwhile, Kiera sat quietly in the car, steadying her emotions. Once she had composed herself, she picked up her phone and called Layla.“The divorce went smoothly.”Her voice was slightly hoarse, and Layla could hear it. “Nothing unexpected happened, I hope?” she asked gently.“I ran into Xena. She came to pick up Sean.”Kiera pressed her lips together, a wave of frustration washing over her as she recalled how she had completely lost her composure.“I thought I was stronger than this. I thought I’d already moved on. But seeing them together still made me sick—literally.”Her hand tightened involuntarily around the fabric of her skirt, trembling slightly.“Miss Xander, did it hurt this much for you too?”Layla was quiet for a moment. Then she said calmly, “If I’m being honest, I don’t even remember. After I left Sean, there were so many things I wanted to do.“Once you start truly loving yourself, the outside world doesn’t hit as hard. One day, when you look back on this, yo
