Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 784

Chapter 784

 “That lady was sent by Elliot,” Layla explained to the bodyguard in all seriousness, “Elliot is a bad person! She said that if I don‘t give the box up, Elliot will kill you. You protect me every single day, how can I let him kill you?” 

The bodyguard felt flattered and surprised at the same time. “Why don‘t I feel like that‘s the kind of man Elliot Foster is? If one beats a dog, one has to answer to its master. I am hired by your mother. How is he supposed to explain himself to your mother if he kills me?” 

Layla blinked blankly. “So, you are saying that he doesn‘t dare to offend Mom?” 

“Yeah! When has he ever bullied anyone in this house? Whether it‘s you and your brother, or your Uncle Mike, he has always been quite polite when he sees you all,” the bodyguard rationalized, “why would he kill me when I didn‘t do anything to him?” 

“But I stole from him,” Layla mumbled while tugging at the corner of her clothes. 

“I stole that box from his house and it contains something really important. Now that I‘ve returned it to him, he probably won‘t be mad anymore.” 

The bodyguard felt like there was more to the story, but since Layla had gone ahead and returned the box, there was nothing much left to be concerned with. 

Just then, on the highway outside Starry River Villa, the woman who obtained the box called her employer smugly to report the good news. 

She had not expected to accomplish her mission so easily. As she had expected, Layla was a simple–minded little girl who would panic at the simplest threat. 

It was also sheer like that she had succeeded, because Layla‘s house happened to be empty and everything went smoothly when Layla had no one else to talk to. 

Once the call was answered, the person on the other side of the line asked, “how did it go? Did you get it?” 

“I did! It went smoothly!” The woman played with the crimson–colored box while sitting on the passenger‘s seat.
