Chapter 23

The Taylor Villa.

At the Taylor Villa, Ruby Taylor, who was holding an ice pack and

applying it to her eyes, was astonished and surprised to see Layla Taylor return unharmed.

She questioned her immediately when she saw her. She asked, “Why are you here? Why are you back home?

“You didn’t go. Moreover, you didn’t even try, did you?”

“You’re only a bastard. What are you talking about here now?” said Ruby,

She continued, “How dare you tell us to fend for ourselves?”

On the other hand, Caleb chimed in and responded coldly after listening to Layla and Ruby’s conversation.

She said, “Layla, you didn’t go, did you?

The words you just said, did you make them up by yourself? You are not telling us the truth, are you?”

Meanwhile, Elliott Taylor stared with his eyes wide open and exclaimed sharply.
