“Are you Layla’s grandmother?” Teacher Larson asked.
Mrs. Cooper’s face was flushed: “No, I’m just a servant at home.”
“Oh… I’ll have a good chat with Layla’s parents when they come back. Layla is about to take the entrance exam. You may not know that students with good grades will participate in the internal assessment of key middle schools half a year in advance…” Teacher Larson said.
“Even if Layla doesn’t do well, her father can send Layla to the best middle school.” Mrs. Cooper explained.
“The meaning is different! Don’t you want Layla to go to the best school by her own strength?” Teacher Larson asked rhetorically.
Mrs. Cooper was speechless.
Layla couldn’t bear it anymore and stopped being silent: “Teacher Larson, my dad didn’t say anything about me. You care so much, it’s very annoying.”
Katalina was stunned for a moment. When she saw Mrs. Cooper, the bodyguard, and Robert all looking at her with hostile eyes, she was immediately embarrassed.
“Layla, maybe I’m too straight, but I really hope you study hard, because I had the same experience as you when I was a kid. When I was in elementary school, my parents divorced, and I lived with my dad. You should know Norah Jones, right?” Katalina’s sudden change of words caught everyone off guard.
After she mentioned Norah Jones, the expressions on everyone’s faces suddenly changed from cold hostility to shock and curiosity.
“I know!” Layla asked curiously, “Do you know her too?”
Katalina smiled shyly: “She is my cousin.”
Everyone: “….”
Katalina’s home visit ended, She called Norah and went to Norah’s house.
“I told you not to be a teacher, you have to go.” Norah Jones saw Katalina and poured her a glass of water, “I forgot to tell you that my relationship with Elyette’s family is not good. It’s stupid for his family to mention my name.”
Katalina was stunned: “I thought that when I mentioned your name, Layla would listen to me.”
“Layla felt that I would influence her parents to get back together, so she was very kind to me. Great hostility. They don’t even let me into her house.” Norah Jones said indifferently, “I used to flatter this little girl in order to show off in front of Elyette, but she didn’t expect her mother to treat me as an enemy when she returned to Aryadelle. “
“I can see it clearly now. Only when I am strong, I will not be despised by others.” Norah Jones added.
“That’s it!” Katalina and Norah didn’t have anything to do with each other before, but now it’s because Katalina returned to work in Aryadelle and their parents asked them to take care of each other, so they contacted each other, “Sister Norah, you are so good, you can definitely find a good man. For those who are married and divorced with children, forget it!”
“Well. I’ve figured it out. In the future, I’ll have to rely on myself.” Norah looked at Katalina, “You went to the house today and suffered a lot of grievances, right? That Layla is very rude.”
Katalina: “Maybe she lacks the company of her parents. It’s about it! Her parents are going away again.”
Norah’s eyes narrowed: “Did you go away? Where did you go?”
“I don’t know. I called Elyette, and his phone was turned off.” Katalina said. At the time, the phone rang.
It was Elyette who called.
Katalina immediately picked up the phone: “Hello, Layla’s father, I’m the head teacher of Layla’s new semester, just call me Katalina.”
Elyette: “I’m sorry, I just got off the plane.”
Norah Jones took Katalina right away grabbed her phone and pressed the speakerphone.
“I visited your home just now and had a brief chat with Layla. I have some questions. I want to talk to you or Layla’s mother. When are you free?” Katalina asked, taking her phone back.
Averie heard a little sound, so she asked Elyette in a low voice: “Is Layla’s teacher? What did she say?”
“Home visit… Said to talk to us.” Elyette whispered back to Averie’s words.
The whispered conversation between the two of them clearly fell into the ears of Norah Jones and Katalina.
“Hello Ms. Larson, I’m in Yonroeville with Layla’s mother, and I won’t return to Aryadelle for the time being. If you have any questions, you can tell us directly on the phone.” Elyette said.
When Norah Jones heard his answer, Elyette immediately stepped aside and started planning in his heart.
Yonroeville airport.
Half an hour had passed after Elyette and Katalina finished talking on the phone.
Katalina expressed on the phone that she wanted to help Layla adjust her learning attitude, and hoped to get their support.
As parents, of course, they hope that their children can have a positive learning attitude, so the two of them agreed to Katalina’s proposal.
After the call, Katalina told them about her relationship with Norah Jones. And truthfully explained that she and Norah Jones were not familiar with each other.
After Elyette heard the news, he seemed to be petrified by someone’s acupuncture point, so Averie brought the phone over to Katalina and said it was okay.
Averie said to Elyette, “Isn’t there surveillance everywhere in the school? She said that she could use her breaks to help Layla with tutoring and ideological work, and then it would be good for the bodyguards to watch. I heard her tone is very sincere. And even if she is Norah Jones’s cousin and has a good relationship with Norah Jones, she won’t necessarily do anything bad to our daughter, right? You can hand over the Tate Industries to Norah Jones, and take your daughter to Norah Jones’s sister, now?”
Elyette: “…”
He seemed to hear the unhappiness in her tone.
Elyette: “Work is work, daughter is daughter, how can the two be confused?”
“The Tate Industries is also like my child.” Averie felt that the two could be confused.
Elyette: “Then I’ll give it back to you?”
Averie: “Didn’t you already give it to Norah Jones?”
“I signed a gambling agreement with her. To be precise, she has not signed the agreement yet and is still considering it. Because I set her an almost impossible goal. Even if the Tate Industries is not yours, it is mine. How could I easily give it to outsiders?” Elyette expressed his attitude, “Don’t listen to other people’s rumors, Don’t watch the news and talk nonsense.”
Averie glanced at him.
Elyette thought Averie was moved and had something to say to herself but Averie yawned unexpectedly.
“Go to the hotel first! I’m so sleepy.” After Averie finished speaking, she strode out of the airport.
On the plane, Averie never fell asleep.
Usually on such a long-distance plane, Averie can usually fall asleep on the plane.
But this time, because Elyette was sitting beside her, she felt awkward everywhere and couldn’t sleep.
The group came to a five-star hotel in the city center and checked in.
“Let’s live in one room!” Elyette discussed with Averie in a low voice, “It’s safer this way.”
Averie raised her eyebrows: “It’s safer to live with you? Do you think you are better than my bodyguard? With you Stay, I might as well live with my bodyguard.”
The bodyguard standing on Averie was flattered, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
The boss thinks highly of him so much and wants to live with him. I’m really happy.
Elyette’s face was gloomy and he glanced at her bodyguard.
The joy on the bodyguard’s face suddenly disappeared without a trace.
“We live in the presidential suite.” Elyette retracted his gaze and looked at Averie again, “It’s more convenient to make videos for the children every day. You choose which room you live in first, and which room I live in is up to you.”
He had a very good attitude, It makes Averie a little uncomfortable to refuse.
Generally, a larger presidential suite has at least several rooms, and the distance between rooms may be farther than the distance between single rooms.
“How many rooms are there in your hotel’s presidential suite?” Averie asked the receptionist.
After checking it on the computer, the lady at the front desk replied, “One has five rooms, and the other has nine rooms. There are only two presidential suites left in our hotel.”
Averie thought for a bit and said, “Then book five rooms! The four of us live together.”
Elyette: “…”
Two bodyguards: “………”
“How is it?” Averie asked the three of them.
In Averie’s opinion, it is not safe to live in the presidential suite alone with Elyette. Only two bodyguards must be added in to be considered truly safe.
But Elyette didn’t even think about it, and directly rejected her proposal.
Elyette said, “I don’t like so many people living together. The two of us live in one room, and the two of them live in one room, that’s all.”
Averie: “???”
What does it mean like this?
