Chapter 995
“Have you decided what to wear yet, Layla?” Avery asked instead of answering Layla‘s questions. “People usually
wear black clothes to a funeral. How about you wear this black dress with these black tights?”
Layla nodded her head. “You don‘t look happy, Mommy. What were you looking at just now?”
Avery forced a smile and said, “It‘s about work.”
“You could ask Daddy to help you with that,” Layla suggested. “He‘s staying at our house now. Could he refuse to
help you with a thing or two?”
“I‘ll handle it myself. Let‘s get you changed!” Avery‘s heart was heavy, but she could not express it. She changed
the subject and asked, “Are you sure you want to go back to school next week, Layla?” “I am. I want to be braver. If
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe other kids are going back to school, then I can, too.” “You‘re amazing, Layla. I‘m so proud of you.” Avery
crouched down and planted a kiss on her daughter‘s forehead. In the living room, Elliot‘s phone was ringing. When
Robert heard the ringtone, his obsidian black eyes widened. Elliot flashed a smile at his son, then answered the
phone.
“Have you seen Chelsea‘s mother‘s interview, Sir?” Chad‘s voice came through the phone.” She was acting like a
victim during the entire interview. She said you killed the entire Tierney family and gobbled up all of their property,
and that you‘re trying to push her to her death. She begged for society‘s help in the interview and hoped that
everyone would help her seek justice.”
Elliot‘s face instantly darkened with rage!
What a shameless old hag! Did she think that he did not dare touch her?
“Should we make the video disappear, or should we respond to it, Sir?” Chad asked. “She looked really haggard in
the video, but she said some very provoking things.” “All she wants is money, right? I won‘t give her a dime,” Elliot
said coldly. “Did she think that a mere interview would be able to affect me? What a hopeless idiot!” “That‘s right!
Her behavior was pretty disgusting.” Chad sighed, then said, “It‘s just like how Chelsea just had to choose our
building to jump off of. Both mother DPK(V[vk daughter sure have the same way of doing things.” When Avery
emerged from the children’s room with Layla, she heard Elliot talking on the phone. Her eyes landed obsessively on
him.
Elliot was ruthless, untamable, and noble! He was the one who raised the Foster family name to fame. Nobody
dared disrespect him when his name came up. All of the honor and glory that he worked so hard to get for the
Foster name now all seemed like a joke.
Surely, Rosalie knew the truth.
It must have been hard for her to raise Elliot as her own. However, if Rosalie was not a good mother to Elliot, then
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhe would not still miss her after her death.
When Elliot saw Avery and Layla from the corner of his eye, he immediately hung up the phone. “Robert was
already awake, so I didn‘t go outside to talk on the phone,” he explained. Avery gazed at his handsome face, then
said, “Go get changed, Elliot. Let‘s head out once I’m changed. It‘s getting stuffy here at home.” “Alright.” Once
Avery returned to her room, Elliot walked over to Layla. “That‘s a pretty dress you‘re wearing, Layla. I‘ve never
seen you wear it before.” Elliot thought of ways to praise Layla every day to cheer her up. This worked pretty well
on children. Layla felt a deeper fondness for him than she did before. “Mommy‘s facing some trouble at work,
Daddy. You should help her out!” Layla murmured.” She said she could handle it herself, but I can tell she‘s
unhappy.” Elliot‘s brows furrowed slightly. “Did your mother tell you she‘s facing trouble at work?” From what he
knew, Tate Industries wasn‘t in any kind of trouble.
Layla nodded. “Mommy was looking at a few pieces of paper in my room just now. Her whole face changed after
she was done looking at them.”
