“Dad is having dinner with Aunt Norah Jones?” Layla’s tone rose a few times.
Layla just found out that Norah Jones stole the jewelry that her mother wanted to buy for her, so she is full of anger at Norah Jones now.
“Well…I don’t understand what the two of them said.” Robert was very aggrieved, “I want to go home, but Dad won’t.”
Layla heard this and complained to her mother angrily: “Mom! Dad is dating Norah Jones now! He doesn’t care about my younger brother! My younger brother wants to go home, and he refuses to bring my younger brother back in order to date Norah Jones over there! I want to go and bring my younger brother back!”
Averie listened her daughter speaks, immediately reach out and ask her to give her the phone to herself.
Layla handed the phone to her mother.
Averie picked up her daughter’s mobile phone and put it in her ear.
The voice of the Foster family’s bodyguard came: “Layla, it’s not what you think! Your father didn’t date Norah Jones! The two of them are talking about business! Originally, your father was going to bring Robert back to Aryadelle tomorrow, but there was a temporary business, so he delayed. You have to trust your father.”
Averie listened to the bodyguard’s explanation and asked, “How is Robert now?”
“Miss Tate?” The bodyguard suddenly stuttered when he heard Averie’s voice, ” Robert is, by my side… looking at me!”
“Oh…are you sure Robert is not wronged?”
“I’m sure! Otherwise, why would my boss give Robert the phone? Go back to the room.” The bodyguard was afraid that Averie would misunderstand Elyette, so he couldn’t help but talk, “Miss Tate, you have been living in Bridgedale before, you should know about the Dream Makers company, right? Norah Jones is telling the boss about the Dream Makers company. It’s really not a date. They plan to meet the people from the Dreamer’s side tomorrow to discuss cooperation!”
Averie didn’t expect the bodyguard to explain so much to himself.
Averie: “Okay, I know, I will persuade Layla.”
Averie returned the phone to her daughter after speaking.
Averie: “Layla, don’t be angry. If your dad really wants to marry Norah Jones, he will marry her sooner or later.”
“My dad told me that he wouldn’t marry Norah Jones. I don’t know if he is lying to me!” Layla suddenly remembered her father’s previous promise to her.
“Layla, when I fell in love with your father before, he also gave me a lot of promises. But later, it became a joke.” Averie didn’t want to attack her daughter, but she was also afraid that her daughter would be disappointed by others’ words…
“If one day I find out that what he said to me is false, I won’t let him go.” Layla puffed her cheeks and said angrily, “If he doesn’t keep his promises, I won’t let him go!”
Averie patted her daughter’s head: “I don’t think so much. Mom will take you to play today.”
Layla: “Well.”
……
Bridgedale.
Elyette and Norah Jones came to the Dream Building and talked with the executives of the Dream Maker Group about cooperation.
The two were invited to sit in the reception room, and the secretary poured water for them.
“Mr. Foster, President Jones, I didn’t expect you to be so punctual. I should have informed you in advance, but after thinking about it, it is better to tell you in person.” The executive smiled and informed them of the result, “Yesterday I told our boss about your ideas late, but he refused to cooperate with you.”
Elyette was not surprised by this result.
But Norah Jones obviously didn’t want to give up: “I want to know the reason for your boss’s refusal. Is your boss really rich enough to be rich? With our investment, dreamers can do even more.”
“I don’t know what he thinks.” The executive said, “You should have heard that our boss is quite special. His thoughts are often incomprehensible to ordinary people.”
“That is your boss is very rich, and no need of financing.” Norah Jones gave up completely.
“That’s not true.” The executive said truthfully, “Our company has been in business for more than two years, and we raised financing several times in the first year. If the boss is really not short of money, it won’t be like this in the early stage. But now our company is indeed not short of money. Many investment companies took the initiative to find them, and we have many choices.”
Norah: “Oh? Have you really never met your boss?”
The executive: “No. We all use his assistant, or email or phone to contact him.”
When Elyette heard this, he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s your boss’s name?”
“Mr. Foster, to be honest, I don’t know my boss’ real name. Billy is signed on his email. We call him Billy.”
The name was just a codename.
“If that’s the case, then we won’t bother.” Elyette got up from the sofa, not wanting to waste any more time.
Last night, the bodyguard told him that Robert called Layla to complain, which made Layla very angry.
He wanted to go back to Aryadelle as soon as possible to coax his daughter.
After the executives sent them away, they returned to the office.
“The boss really rejected Elyette’s investment?” The assistant asked.
The executive smiled sarcastically: “Not only that, the boss also told them to get out. How could I have the nerve to convey the boss’s meaning directly? I guess the boss has a grudge against Elyette.”
Assistant: “…”
A week later.
Layla finished all the filming work and was taken home by the Foster family bodyguard.
Layla did not expect that Norah Jones was also at home.
“Aunt Jones, have you moved to my house?” Layla looked at her with a wary expression.
After Norah Jones realized Layla’s hostility, she quickly explained: “No, no. I came here because I heard that you were going home today. Your birthday is coming soon, and your aunt has prepared a birthday present for you.”
Norah Jones Pick up a bag from the table and hand it to Layla.
Layla took the bag, took out a pink box, and opened it—
Inside the box was a necklace.
This necklace was very familiar.
It was the necklace in the jewelry set that her mother was going to buy for her last time, but was cut off by Norah Jones.
“Just a necklace?” Layla looked at Norah Jones and asked, “Aunt Jones, why are you hiding the bracelet in this set of jewelry? Or have you already given the bracelet to another child?”
With a swish, it turned red.
How did Layla know there was a matching bracelet for this necklace?
Guess?
Seeing his daughter being so impolite, Elyette immediately said, “Layla, you…”
“Elyette! Shut up!” Layla frowned and yelled at her father.
Norah Jones was shocked! Mrs. Cooper was also shocked.
It was very impolite for Layla to call Elyette’s name directly. She was so angry at her father.
It was the first time that Elyette was scolded by his daughter in front of outsiders, and was a little confused.
“Layla, you shouldn’t speak to your father so loudly. Auntie does have a pair of bracelets there. I want to give it to you next time. Since you like it, I’ll go get it for you now.” Norah Jones wanted to calm down as soon as possible Layla’s anger, so hurried away and went back to get the bracelet.
After Norah Jones left, Elyette walked up to Layla and grabbed her wrist.
Layla didn’t even think about it, she pushed him away!
At the same time, Layla threw the necklace in her hand to the ground!
Layla: “If you let Norah Jones come to the house in the future, I’ll move out!”
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Mrs. Cooper immediately stepped forward and stood in the middle of the father and daughter.
“Layla, why are you so angry? Norah Jones came here specially to give you a birthday present. She has never been to the house before. Have you misunderstood something?” Mrs. Cooper held Layla’s hand in both hands, hoping Layla can calm down.
Layla: “I didn’t misunderstand! Norah Jones is not a good thing! Neither is Elyette!”
“How can you say that about your father? Layla, what happened? There are no outsiders at home, so just say it directly.” Mrs. Cooper subconsciously felt that Layla’s fire must have something to do with Averie.
Before Averie returned to Aryadelle, although Layla often gave Elyette a face, the father and daughter had never had such a big fight.
“This necklace…it’s a set! My mother bought it for me. They took it away!” Layla pointed to the necklace on the ground, vented the anger in her heart, and then accused Elyette, “It’s all your fault that my mother divorced you. You made my mother wrong before. Now you also make my mother wrong!”
Elyette was stunned.
