Chapter 16

In the headquarters building of the Taylorizon Group.

Originally, Taylorizon Group was a small company, and it even needed to rent an office building.

Now, it already boasted its own building in the heart of Brookspring’s Central Business District.

It was all thanks to the continuous support from Horizon Group over the years.

Gavin, however, was oblivious to this point, since Vincent had undertaken this endeavor voluntarily and secretly.

Because Vincent knew that Layla was Gavin’s fiancée.

At this precise moment, a young woman decked out in flat-soled shoes, denim jeans, and a pristine white shirt, found herself grappling with an abundance of crucial documents, firmly clutching them in both her hands. At the same time, she affixed her cell phone firmly to her ear with an anxious look, a delicate sheen of sweat forming on her forehead as she hastened her exit from the building. She reassured the woman on the other end of the line.

“Mom, please don’t worry. I’ve just left the headquarters, and all the necessary information is ready. I won’t miss today’s bidding conference!”

The voice on the other end of the phone, however, was full of reproach.

“Don’t call me ‘Mom’! Remember, you’re just an adopted girl of the Taylor family!

“And can’t you hurry up a bit? If you’re late, you’ll be in big trouble!”

Layla heard the scolding from her mother, and her face bore a mixture of pain and helplessness.

But obviously, she had already been used to all of this.

She continued to say in a soft voice, “Mom, please calm down. I admit it was my fault, but I promise I won’t be late. You can

trust me.”

As Layla uttered these words, she faintly heard that someone called her name from behind.

“Layla!”

Hearing the voice, Layla froze in place at once.

And meanwhile, her pupils were dilated instantly.

Layla had heard her name from countless people in this world.

However, no voice had eyer sounded as exquisite as the one she had just heard since it was the voice that she had dreamed of hearing for ten long years.

Her mother continued to berate her on the phone.

But Layla turned her head slowly as if she had ceased to hear the scold from her mother.
