Chapter 788

‘Why is he here all of a sudden? I‘ve already returned the box to him!‘ Layla thought.

Scared that he was here looking for trouble, she immediately ran out of the living room and shouted,
“Uncle Mike!”

Layla’s scream had frightened Avery.

When Layla dropped the phone to the ground, the camera was faced at the ceiling of the living room so
Avery could only attempt to guess what had happened from the noises as she couldn‘t see anything at
all.

One thing that she could be certain of was that Layla was in a dangerous situation.

“Layla!” Avery grabbed onto her phone tightly and stepped out of her room.

Her heart sank; though she was in Bridgedale at the moment, if something was about to happen to her
daughter, Avery would not hesitate to travel back to Aryadelle right away.

Elliot scowled when he saw the way Layla ran off in fear. He had met with Layla plenty of times and
though she had never been polite with him before, she had never acted so frightened either. He raised
his hand to touch his own face and confirmed that there was nothing on his face; what was Layla so
scared of? He stepped into the living room and spotted the phone on the ground, so he immediately
picked it up

Startled by Layla‘s scream, Avery was still calling out to Layla.

Elliot looked at the screen and explained, “I startled her. She is with Mike right now.”



When Avery heard his voice and saw his familiar face, the anxiety and tension in her heart faded, and
was soon replaced by confusion.

“Why is she that scared of you?” Avery questioned sharply with a frown.

Elliot felt helpless, because he was wondering the same thing as well:

“Why are you in my house this late at night?” Avery continued to ask when he did not respond.

“It‘s not that late.” Elliot studied the aggressive look on her face and felt a lump in his throat when he
was reminded of the reason why she had taken Robert with her and left.

“I happened to drive past this place and decided to drop by.”

“Neither your company nor your house is in the same direction as my house.” Avery exposed him of his
lie asked, “what exactly have you done to Layla?”

Not far away, Mike walked into the living room with Layla in his arms.

Mike had asked Layla the same question as well, but Layla had only shook her head and refused to
say anything else.

“Maybe it‘s because I didn‘t knock when I came in,” he explained, “I parked the car outside the yard so
she didn‘t expect someone to walk in out of the blue.”

“You are no stranger to her. Even if you come in unannounced, she wouldn‘t be this frightened,” Avery
denied his explanation and continued, “pass the phone to Layla. I am asking her.”

Layla lowered her eyes and avoided looking directly at Elliot‘s face.

Mike took the phone from Elliot and faced the camera at Layla‘s face.



“Layla, talk to your mom. What did Elliot do to you? Don‘t be scared. Your mom might not be here, but
Uncle Mike will protect you.”

Layla didn‘t have the courage to say a word. If her mother found out that she had stolen something
from Elliot, Avery would surely be furious.

“Layla, did I startle you because I didn‘t knock just now?” Elliot couldn‘t help but ask when he noticed
that Layla was pouting wordlessly.

“Don‘t speak, or I will suspect that you are pressuring her!” Mike glared at him.

“I’ve never seen her this scared before.” Elliot pursed his lips and waited for Layla‘s response.
