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?”

As she faced Ruby’s questioning, Layla, bolstered by Vincent’s verbal confirmation and newfound confidence from his assurance, directly responded to Ruby.

“I did. I went to see Mr. Dunn,” said Layla.

“Really? You went to see Mr. Dunn?” Ruby was momentarily taken aback and was surprised by this revelation.

Ruby immediately responded as he was more concerned about how things and matters were going.

“Did Mr. Dunn say anything to you? Did he ask you to sleep with him?” asked Ruby.

When Layla heard the phrase “sleep with him,” a deep disgust appeared in her eyes.

Afterward, she continued to respond to Ruby with determination.

She then spoke firmly, “Mr. Dunn told me that the situation where our Taylor family was expelled from Horizon Group today has nothing to do with me. I haven’t offended anyone.

It’s all because of you all, the members of the Taylor family, who provoked someone you shouldn’t have. Mr. Dunn also told me to relay a message to all of you. You all better take care of your actions!”

Layla consistently referred to “you all, the Taylor family” in her speech.

now.

It seemed clear that Layla had become utterly disappointed with the Taylor family!

When Ruby and the others heard Layla’s words, they were initially taken aback, but then Ruby immediately erupted in anger.

“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.
