NovelAppIt was a call from Natalie.
Natalie had been traveling back and forth between Aryadelle and Bridgedale recently. She had been working very hard to bring
down Avery's Alpha Technologies.
If Elliot had a huge grudge against Avery, he would surely reward her.
Elliot looked at the non his phone coldly. He hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call.
"Mr. Foster, the new company in Bridgedale has been successfully set up. We predict that we will officially be able to start next
week. Will you attend the ribboncutting ceremony?" Natalie asked.
Elliot furrowed his brows tightly. He did not want to go to Bridgedale anymore for the tbeing.
More accurately, he did not want to go to Bridgedale unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Mr. Foster, we have invited many politicians and business partners to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. If you could come—"

Natalie did not expect that Elliot would not care about the opening of his new company. She had been working so hard She thought
that he knew and cared about it!
Elliot placed his phone on his desk and headed down to look for Layla.
Layla was sitting on the sofa in the living area with Mrs. Cooper and Robert surrounding her.
Mrs. Cooper was trying to placate her while Robert brought her her favorite snack, hoping to console his sister.
"Layla, your Daddy surely loves you a lot. If he had said harsh words to you, that's because he hopes that you can be better. You're
still young. You won't understand what I'm saying. Once you're older, you will surely understand his intentions." Mrs. Cooper's
words still carried weight for Layla.
Layla understood clearly that Elliot gave in to her completely. She was only angry that he had broken up her initially complete
family.
"Layla, this is for you!" Robert's bright eyes were filled with concern and love for Layla.
"lI don't want it!" Layla pushed the snacks away. "Il miss Mommy."
"Then, give her a video call!" Mrs. Cooper coaxed ;a+=QMS; said, "Didn't you tellthat you will visit her during your winter
break? Well, winter is almost here."
Layla inhaled and rubbed her eyes. "It's night over at Mommy's side. | don't want to disturb her sleep."
"Oh, you're right. You can wait until tonight to call her." Mrs. Cooper asked in a gentle tone, "Is she still alright?"
"Of course she is! Without Daddy to make her angry, she has gotten much better and much more beautiful!" Layla noticed Elliot
coming downstairs from the corner of her eyes, so she deliberately said so to infuriate him.
Mrs. Cooper also noticed Elliot, so she changed the subject, "Layla, Robert has craft homework, why don't you teach him? I'm not
good at craftwork."
"Oh! Robert, let's go." Layla got up from the sofa, held Robert's hand, and left. Layla and Robert were close to each other. Layla

Back when her Mommy and Hayden were still around, Layla would still occasionally bully Robert. At that moment, not only did
Layla not bully Robert, but she also grew concerned that he might be bullied by sof the other kindergarteners.
After Robert and Layla left, Elliot walked over to Mrs. Cooper.
"Did you criticize her?" Mrs. Cooper asked softly.
"Do | dare to criticize her?" Elliot sat down on the sofa. "She had low marks on purpose to threaten me."
"What?" Mrs. Cooper could not believe it." How could she joke around with her studies! She can't do that!" Mrs. Cooper was worried
that Layla would go off the straight and narrow path.
During naptin the afternoon, Elliot and the children decided to return to their rooms to sleep.
Mrs. Cooper took her phone and decided to send Avery a message.
Elliot could not handle Layla, and Mrs. Cooper could not allow Layla to continue making mistakes.
