Chapter 17

Layla’s cousin, Elliott Taylor, was just about to teach a lesson to Layla, who was just an adopted daughter of the Taylor family.

However, he didn’t expect that someone would appear all of a sudden and give him a smack in the mouth.

“Ouch.”

Elliott laboriously lifted his head, gingerly shielding his inflamed cheek with his hand, and shot an intense, burning glare towards the man who had forcefully delivered a resounding slap across his face, his eyes seething with an overwhelming tide of anger.

“Damn! You son of bitch! How dare you hit me?

“Someone! Come here!”

Elliott called out in a loud voice.

With a loud thud, a dozen or so of the Taylor family’s servants, armed with clubs, emerged from the Taylor Villa at once.

And then Elliott pointed at Gavin and shouted loudly.

“Break this rascal’s legs and throw him out!”

“Yes!

The group of servants echoed in unison and rushed toward Gavin at once.

Layla was instantly shocked by the scene and quickly stood in front of Gavin. With a resolute demeanor, she extended her arms in a steadfast attempt to shield Gavin from harm, all the while vociferating loudly and forcefully berating the approaching group that loomed ominously before her.

“What are you doing?

“Stand down! I told you all to stand down!”

However, the servants in front of her appeared to ignore Layla’s shouts and continued to advance on Gavin.

With anxiety in her eyes, Layla turned to Gavin at once and then yelled.

“Gavin, run!

After that, she bellowed at the group of servants once more.

“Are you planning to rebel? I’m the daughter of the Taylor family, and I order you all to stand down!”

Nevertheless, the servants in front of her showed contemptuous expressions after they heard Layla’s words.
