She was taken away just like that without any means of resisting.
When they got into the car, Elena remembered that she wanted to remind Layla of something. She called her immediately.
“Layla, you must listen to what I’m about to say!”
“No matter what happens the day after tomorrow, you must not leave the school. Just stay in the hostel and don’t go anywhere. Do you understand?”
“Day after tomorrow? Isn’t that the day of your engagement?”
Layla was upset, “Elena, what’s the meaning of this? You don’t intend to invite us for your engagement?”
The last time they didn’t know about it but now that they do, how could she stay at her dorm?
“I…” Elena thought for a while and continued, “No, you all can’t come. You saw how scary Master Williams was. Why do you want to come?”
She was about to wavier but no, for Layla’s safety, Elena must be firm.
“The Williams family is so big and I have no speaking rights to decide on the guests. I’m not inviting anyone, including you all.”
“You must listen to me, no matter what happens the day after tomorrow, you must not leave the school. Do you understand?”
Layla was getting upset and Elena’s tone turned serious, “Layla, if you don’t listen to me, we’re done as friends!”
“Okay, okay, I’ll listen. I’ll stay in school and not affect you. Will that do?”
It must be Master Williams who despised them and did not allow Elena to invite them to the engagement ceremony.
All of them understood that by marrying into such a big and rich family, what status could Elena have? They didn’t want to make things difficult for her.
“I’ll be obedient. After that day you must treat us and we’ll celebrate then.” Layla laughed.
Elena knew that she misunderstood that Master Williams didn’t allow her to invite her friends. But at this point, she would rather that Layla misunderstood and not let her face any dangers.
“Okay.” She nodded and hung up the call.
Layla will be safe as long as she remains in school the day after tomorrow. She cannot allow Layla to meet the same fate as her previous life. Absolutely not!
After she hung up the phone call, she realized that the air con was turned up too much. Elena pulled up her clothes, turned her head, and was shocked.
Why was Master Williams staring at her? The more frightening thing was why was his stare so chilly? Within his stare, it appeared that he was unhappy with her. What wrong did she do?
“I’m such a scary person that I don’t even allow you to invite your friends?” He squinted his eyes and glared at her panicked petite face, “Hmm?”
“I… I was just kidding.”
She just wanted Layla to remain at her hostel and didn’t mean to insult him.
Michael’s gaze remained on her face for a moment before mumbling, “Drive!”
“Yes, Master Williams.” Levi stepped on the accelerator.
The car left the hotel’s parking garage and looking from the reviewer mirror, Layla was standing between Caleb and Luacs and appeared to be so petite and delicate.
Layla…
Elena pinched her palm. I caused you to be harmed in the previous life. Now I will not let anything happen to you. Never!
…
“Cousin, this time you must help me. Elena has gone too far!” Mia stood at the bedside, crying as she yelled. She was even more upset that she had to spend twenty-five thousand dollars for the dinner. Twenty-five thousand dollars!
“Julian is also a scoundrel; he took me out for dinner and in the end, I had to pay for it. Has he lost his mind?”
Ava was laying on the bed while the doctor applied the facial mask. She was slapped twenty times and her face swelled up like a pig. Fortunately, other than a slight cut on the corner of her mouth, there were no other lacerations.
After an entire day of treatment, the swell had almost subsided. But in order not to affect her image, she continued to apply the facial mask.
Mia was crying her eyes out, “I’ll never agree to that scoundrel dating me again no matter what he says!”
“Okay.” Ava nodded and didn’t say much.
“Cousin, the way they treated you and how they bullied me, aren’t you angry at all?” Mia began to stomp her feet.
“Auntie was sent abroad and her condition is uncertain! It’s all caused by Elena. Why are you still so calm?”
“Otherwise?” Ava started to become frustrated by her. She removed the facial mask and threw it into the dustbin.
She walked to the dressing table and gently massage her face. Now her face has almost totally recovered. Her fair and slightly pinkish complexion, refined and pure, still a natural beauty.
Ava was really beautiful. Even when Mia looked at her in the mirror, she can’t help but praise her.
“Cousin, you’re really beautiful…”
She thought about it, and said, “Only a beauty such as you are worthy of Master Williams. What trash is that Elena?”
“Elena is Master Williams’s fiancee. Mia, watch your words.”
Ava looked at herself in the mirror with a look of hatred.
But her face had a slight smile, “Elena is my sister. How can I think about her fiance?”
“She was lucky if it wasn’t because of the Matriarch Williams insisting that Michael marries her, how would he marry such an ugly girl!”
“Cousin, you are too kind, that’s why you are being bullied by Elena. Look, even auntie has been sent abroad!”
“I am not like the others; I don’t know how to plot and scheme. What can I do?” Ava sighed.
“You… sigh! Do you want to continue to be bullied by her?” Mia couldn’t accept this.
“Forget it, Mia, actually Elena isn’t a bad person. She might have been influenced by her delinquent friends.”
Ava turned and look at her, laughed, “But, their relationship is really good. Elena once said that she is willing to give her life for her friends.”
“She is willing to give up her life for those few people?” Mia frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.
Ava laughed and continued, “Yes, if something happens to her friends, perhaps she is willing to forgo her engagement ceremony and rescue them.”
“The last engagement ceremony was canceled because she didn’t turn up. If it happened again, then Master Williams may not want her anymore.”
Ava’s slender fingers were pushing down on her skin and feeling its bounce. She looked back at Mia to check if there were any indications that she may want to do something.
She laughed, “I’m going to remind her again tomorrow. This time, there must not be any problems. Otherwise, Master Williams will ditch her and she’ll be very pitiful.”
“Isn’t it good for Master Williams to ditch her?” Mia wrung her hands.
Ava winked at her, “She’s my sister no matter what and I wish her well.”
She walks to aside and took out a card from the drawer and placed it into Mia’s hands.
“Okay, was it twenty-five thousand? There are over a hundred thousand here. Spend it as you wish.”
“Cousin, you…”
“I’ve always loved you… go ahead.”
Ava held her hands, “Go home early, go for a shopping spree tomorrow. You’ll feel much better.”
“Cousin, you’ve always taken care of me.” Mia took the card and looked touched, “I will not let anyone bully you, I won’t!”
I can’t let that bitch Elena bully my kind cousin Ava.
Elena, you just watch. I’ll torture you to death! I won’t let you have any chance to harm my cousin!
“Okay, go back and rest early.”
As soon as the door closed, Ava’s smile disappeared.
She wants Elena to be happy? If Elena was happy then what will happen to her?
These twenty slaps must be repaid.
Does Elena expect to be happily engaged to Master Williams after framing her? Impossible!
