No, she just said “your partner”, could it be some kind of unspeakable, unspeakable cooperation?
She had only heard a few rumors about Brayden and Leyla, but Brayden’s character had always been a model for all men in the world in her eyes, so she never listened to those gossips.
But right now, she trusts Stephen standing in front of her more than anything else. No matter what secrets he has that he can’t tell, she must choose to trust him at this moment in the face of Leyla.
Skyler, who hadn’t spoken, suddenly interrupted the confrontation between the two of them. Leyla was still thinking about what such a girl could say, and the next moment she immediately wanted to grab the ungrateful little girl and beat her to death.
“Miss The James Family, is it hard to believe that you’ve come home recently, or that Uncle Evan came over to pick you up?”
Her voice is as sweet as candied fruit but conceals a crisis, like a carefully laid out sweet trap that people unknowingly fall into.
The girl actually dared to rub salt in her wounds, do the two of them have a grudge, or did they deliberately stand on Stephen’s side trying to gas her, she is not stupid, Stephen does not see her naturally, but this person and Kirkland Group seems to have a thousand links, so she felt very curious.
“That’s not true, I’m tired of living the life of a big lady, I would love to live a life of self-reliance …” Leyla variously digs into the words, trying to beautify her life of toil.
Stephen simply had to turn his stomach at what he just said in the elevator, but on second thought, he and Leyla are not the same? The family is very big, but not to inherit the family fortune, living the life of ordinary people but also the name of self-reliance.
But the only difference is that he is out there “drifting” can still receive his old man’s money every month on time, just he never went to use it, while Leyla, she was really kicked out of the house has fallen to the point of no way out.
Skyler’s behavior of standing up for him like this made him very touched. She actually didn’t follow Leyla to question him and help him speak, in essence, she was trusting him unconditionally!
“So after … and Brayden tangled inside and out, you’ve changed the object of your tangling?”
Stephen only knows that she was kicked out of Evan’s house because of something unspeakable. As to what the problem is and what it is, Stephen does not want to know and has little interest in knowing, so he does not care at all about Leyla’s unpleasant past before looking for her to do him this favor.
Once the words came out of Skyler’s mouth, Stephen and Leyla’s faces stiffened quite a bit, probably both wanted to ask why Skyler would know this, Leyla’s face was even more ironic, she originally just wanted to give this little girl who seemed to know nothing to come down, but did not expect to actually be set up by a girl.
Skyler actually said it off the top of her head, she had only heard a little about the gossip, but she never believed anything that was not based on fact.
She never thought that these gossips would come in handy in her life one day, and looking at Leyla’s expression, it seems that this thing is really true.
Her focus was no longer on disliking Leyla, but on what kind of man Brayden was if the story was true.
But Leyla is not a person to be messed with, at least she is the Miss of James Group, even if she is down and out now, no one can help her for the sake of money, but at least her old connections are still there, she knows something about the heir of Mitchell Group, before she was kicked out of James Group, just when she heard that the Shangguan Qianjin and The president of the Kirkland Group’s good brother tied the knot.
That person, should be Skyler is right, she is married, so now standing next to Stephen and what is the matter, if you did not come today, then this room, is not only the two of them alone.
Thinking of this, Leyla’s face crossed a trace of calmness and a reckless smile, looking at people’s body hair: “This do evil, there are good to do evil, at least I whatever I have done, I have been punished, my heart frank, unlike some people, on the surface to pretend to be a moral, clean and pure look, but secretly, but red, not abide by the The woman’s way!”
Leyla would not have thought that one day her own mouth would become so sharp because of the stimulation, even without saying a dirty word, but also the two people in front of the hypocritical people can not say anything in anger.
“You!” Stephen’s fists had clenched, the bruises on the backs of his hands were appearing, his knuckles were cackling from the squeeze, as if a strong force was prompting the raising of his arms.
This time it was Skyler who took his wrist, Leyla taunted her, but she looked as if she was more calm and collected than he was, but the touch of her wrist to the coldness of her palm was still invisibly telling Stephen that she was nervous and that she was even more angry than he was!
The two hardest things in this world are patience and accommodation. Skyler, who was struggling with herself at this time, wanted to open her mouth to refute Leyla’s words, but what she said was exactly what she was doing now, so what did she have to refute?
“Why don’t you say anything, is it because I accidentally said that you are uncomfortable in your heart.” Leyla saw that she was silent, so she got even more.
Skyler swallowed, suppressing the inner war, said word by word: “I did not have a red-letter, until now, I have never done a thing sorry to anyone, Stephen and I, but also just old friends, is an old acquaintance, we, not yet as bad and nasty as you think!”
“Not bad, it’s you, who came here to disrupt my work these days, did you have to make a scene until I called the police to stop?” Stephen’s face was stern, his face was ironic, his aura was cold and powerful, almost unnerving.
Leyla was momentarily blocked from speaking, anger looming over her head like a dark cloud covering her head.
She smiled disdainfully towards Skyler, but behind that smile, I don’t know how many sharp knives were hidden.
