The necklace looked very familiar. It was the necklace from the set of jewelry that Avery had planned to buy for her, but Natalie snatched it away.
"Only the necklace?" said Layla, looking at Natalie. "Aunt Natalie, why are you hiding the bracelet? Or have you given it to some other child?"
Natalie's face flushed red. How did Layla know about the matching bracelet? Did she guess?
Elliot saw how impolite Layla was, and he immediately said, "Layla, you—"
"Elliot Foster, shut your mouth up!" Layla furrowed her brows and yelled at Elliot.
Natalie was shocked. Even Mrs. Cooper
was shocked.
Layla calling Elliot by his name was already very rude. How dare she lose her temper at him!
This was the first time that Elliot had been yelled at by his daughter in front of someone else. He was in a daze.
"Layla, you shouldn’t talk to your Daddy like that. I do indeed have the bracelet. I wanted to give it to you next time. Since you like it, I'll go get it for you right now." Natalie wanted to pacify Layla’s anger, so she quickly left and returned to get the bracelet.
After Natalie left, Elliot walked over to Layla and grabbed her wrist.
Layla shook him off without even thinking! At the same time, she threw the necklace on the floor!
"If you let Natalie come here again in the future, I'll move out!"
Mrs. Cooper noticed how the situation was escalating, and she immediately went forward and wedged herself between father and daughter.
