When His Eyes Opened By Simple Silence

Chapter 784

“That lady was sent by Elliot,” Layla explained to the bodyguard in all seriousness, “Elliot is a bad person! She said that if I don‘t give the box up, Elliot will kill you. You protect me every single day, how can I let him kill you?”

Layla blinked blankly. “So, you are saying that he doesn‘t dare to offend Mom?”

“Yeah! When has he ever bullied anyone in this house? Whether it‘s you and your brother, or your Uncle Mike, he has always been quite polite when he sees you all,” the bodyguard rationalized, “why would he kill me when I didn‘t do anything to him?”

“I stole that box from his house and it contains something really important. Now that I‘ve returned it to him, he probably won‘t be mad anymore.”
