All Chapters of The CEO’s Obsession: Layla, You’re Not Allowed to Die: Chapter 801 - Chapter 810

When William put down his phone, he heard Layla ask softly, “Is Mrs. Lucas really going through with the divorce?”“No idea,” William replied casually. “At her age, acting out for once and doing something for herself isn’t necessarily a bad thing.“She’s spent her whole life like a gilded canary in a cage—surrounded by luxury, everything she wanted right at her fingertips. Now she wants to step outside that cage and see the world. Are we supposed to keep locking her up?”Layla fell silent, lost in thought. Her mind drifted back to when Scarlett had participated in the first issue of the magazine.Back then, the canary had just begun peeking out of her cage. Alongside her curiosity and pride, she had also shown real dedication to the shoot.Scarlett had handpicked every woman for that issue, each unique and incredibly expressive. It was clear she genuinely loved the work.A knock at the door pulled Layla out of her thoughts.She set down the cushion and got up to answer it. Peeki

At the Lucas estate, Mr. Lucas Sr. returned home looking utterly defeated. As he bent down to change his shoes at the entryway, he nearly lost his balance. The velvet jewelry box in his hand slipped and tumbled to the floor.He glanced at it but didn’t bother to pick it up, stepping right over it without a second thought.“Dad, that thing cost a fortune. You should take better care of it,” Lucien said, walking up to him.“I heard what happened at the gala tonight. Come on—it’s a holiday. Was it really necessary for you two to stage a divorce drama?“I’ve told you from the beginning—Scarlett was spoiled rotten growing up in the Dixon family. Marrying someone like her at your age was bound to raise eyebrows. And look how hard she is to control.“She’s played the part of the obedient wife for years, but tonight? That was her true face. With all those people watching, she couldn’t even throw you a bone—”“Enough!” Mr. Lucas Sr. snapped, unable to take another word. His cane trembled

Sean froze. The color drained from his face. “You… you’re lying. Kiera would never…”“You still think Kiera’s some innocent, kind and picture-perfect daughter from a good family? You must’ve forgotten exactly how you ended up like this,” Xena said coldly.“She knew about your illness long before she left the country.”There wasn’t a trace of shame in Xena’s tone. Instead, she sounded perfectly justified.“Even if she found out later about us, does that mean you deserve to die for it? She’s far more vicious than either of us ever imagined. But then again…”Xena let out a mocking laugh. “She gets along just fine with Layla. The two of them set you up together, and you’re still sitting here trying to defend her. How pathetic.“When you’re dead, I’ll be the only one left to deal with your body.”With that, Xena turned on her heel and walked off, the sharp click of her heels echoing with cold finality.For a long time, Sean sat frozen, numb. He couldn’t believe Kiera had wanted him

Xenos deliberately played it cool. With a wave of his hand, he summoned one of his men. “Take my brother to pick up his gift.”“My brother.” To Shane, it sounded like the highest praise.His grin grew even wider, eyes nearly disappearing into slits. “No matter what it is, thank you, Xenos! From now on, I’ll stick with you and give it my all. I won’t let you down!“You tell me to go east, I’ll never go west! From now on, you’re my real brother!”To show his sincerity, Shane immediately downed three full shots in a row, earning a round of cheers from the room.“Alright, that’s enough. If you keep going, you really will drink yourself under the table,” Xenos said with a chuckle, patting him on the shoulder. “Go get your gift. Save the thank-you speeches for later.”“Got it!” Shane answered excitedly and followed the man out of the room.After he left, one of the men moved closer to Xenos, frowning in distaste. “Xenos, that kid’s a complete fool. Why are you even bothering with him?

The sky was beginning to lighten, soft morning rays filtering into the room.Carly stirred awake, her head pounding. Still dazed, she caught sight of someone sitting by the bed and bolted upright in shock.She instinctively yanked the covers up and scrambled backward, a panicked scream tearing from her throat.“Don’t scream!”Shane flinched and rushed forward, slapping a hand over her mouth, half his weight pinning her down.The moment Carly recognized his face, she struggled even harder. “Mmph! Mmph!”“Carly, please—don’t be scared…” Shane tried to soothe her, fighting to keep her still. “I didn’t do anything to you last night. I… I just missed you, that’s all…”“Mmph…!”Carly’s muffled sobs were thick with rage and disgust.Miss her? Then why had he arranged for her to be drugged and dragged here after work?Her memory of the entire night was blank. God only knew what he had done while she was unconscious.“Carly, don’t look at me like that…” Shane’s heart twisted seeing h
