Luca’s expression froze for a moment, and his fierce demeanor disappeared almost entirely.
He had been blinded by anger just now, but now he realized the offense he had caused and closed his mouth in unwilling submission.
“You have exceptional abilities and are efficient in your work. You’re an invaluable subordinate, but Ostrad is not lacking in talent,” Layla said calmly.
“You need to recognize your place and not become arrogant because of favoritism.”
“After all, it would only take one word from me to replace you or make you disappear!”
“This matter ends here. Don’t even think about seeking revenge!”
Layla spoke calmly but with an endless sense of dominance that made people feel like they could only bow their heads obediently without any hint of rebellion.
This was her charm, and it was something that Madeline envied about her.
There were countless heroes in this world, yet she still must lower her head before her!
That was Layla!
“Alright! I’ll give you face today!”
“But if he ever provokes me again, the Johnston family will fight tooth and nail against him!”
“Flynn, I hope you can keep your mouth shut. If a single word about today gets out, I’ll kill you!” Luca reluctantly issued a stern warning as he glared at Flynn before waving his hand to lead his men away from the Kaur family.
The events of ten years ago were an absolute taboo topic; Luca feared that if Flynn pushed too hard on this matter it could cause the downfall of the Johnston family!
The best way to deal with Flynn now was to take him out. But the Johnston family can’t afford to mess with Layla, so they had no choice but to swallow their pride. Next time, if there was a next time, they will have to take care of him themselves.
Everyone thought that Luca was upset about Layla getting involved and embarrassing himself in front of the Kaur family, warning Flynn not to speak out of turn. But they didn’t know what Luca really meant.
“Miss Woods, you have done such a great favor for the Kaur family, you are our benefactor!” Matteo exclaimed gratefully as he bowed and thanked Layla.
“Yeah! If it weren’t for Miss Woods stepping in, the Kaur family would be finished!”
“Miss Woods came despite her status and brought glory to the Kaur family.”
“That’s right! Miss Woods has done us such a big favor that we must find the best restaurant to thank her!”
Layla was like an unattainable goddess from heaven. Even just having dinner with her would be something worth showing off about and expanding connections within the Kaur family.
Layla waved them off and looked calmly at Flynn, “This is my second time helping you. After this incident, we owe each other nothing. I hope there won’t be any more trouble between us.”
Flynn’s face was full of displeasure; he didn’t want anything more than being left alone by this arrogant woman who kept coming around bothering him – what was wrong with her?
After hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at Flynn. “It’s been over twenty years, and some things should be said,” Matteo coughed lightly and explained Flynn’s background and his connection to Layla. The crowd listened calmly.
Regardless of whether Flynn was Paxton Clark’s son or whether he had an engagement with Layla, it was all in the past now. He was just a discarded member of the Clark family – a waste who was dumped by a wealthy woman.
This time, Layla used up all her favors on him. Let’s see if he dared to act recklessly again!
Layla saw that Flynn was ignoring her and chuckled inwardly, “After being jilted, Flynn always wants to embarrass me as revenge.”
“But do I care about these childish behaviors?”
“The stars don’t care about the opinions of ants, let alone have any intersection with them!”
Layla checked the time and said to Matteo, “I still have work at the company; I won’t stay long.”
“I came here just to tell you that Flynn often hangs out in the Plenilune Mountain wealthy area and even cheated on people from the Pearce family.”
“You guys should take care of it!”
Everyone was shocked after hearing this news; they were angry.
“Going to the Plenilune Mountain every day? Oh my god! That’s the most expensive villa complex in Niarak, where the rich and famous live. What is he doing there?”
“What else can he do? Steal things! Scam the Pearce family, go to the Plenilune Mountain and steal things, it’s over! No hope!”
“You’ll see, this useless person won’t last long before getting caught. The Kaur family will eventually get into trouble too. Cut ties with him quickly!”
“Stealing things?” Flynn’s face turned cold as he asked back, “I live in the Thodell Mansion on Plenilune Mountain. Why can’t I take a stroll at the foot of the mountain?”
“If I want to, I could buy the entire Plenilune Mountain. Why would I need to steal anything?”
