"Go and ask around. Ask your classmates. Those who have goals. They would have long taken exams for various certificates, preparing for their future studies or to start working. You're the only one without any thoughts and who does not want to improve yourself."
At that, Robert exited the game.
"Layla, I won't play games at home anymore in the future."
"I'm not forbidding you to play games. It's only that you are always playing games after dinner every day. Don't you have anything better to do?"
"I'll go study," Robert said timidly and was about to return to his room when Layla stopped him.
"Hold up. I've eaten too much. Why don't you come with me on a walk." Layla walked to the door and put on her coat.
Robert's eyes immediately lit up and followed her.
Their dynamics had not changed much since their childhood. No matter what happened, as long as Layla treated Robert a little better, Robert would immediately stick to Layla, following her.
After they left, Avery and Elliot, who were still in the dining room, looked at each other.
Why had they rarely given Robert any pressure? It was probably because Layla was already pressuring him. If the entire family pressured Robert, he might break under the pressure.
In fact, Layla was only more domineering in front of Robert. Perhaps this was just the natural dynamics between siblings.
On Saturday morning, Avery and Elliot had gotten ready and were about to head out to meet Eric.
Layla would usually sleep in on the weekends, and she often slept till noon.
No one had expected Layla to head out at the same time that her parents were.
Layla wore a coat from the latest spring collection. Her long hair rested on her shoulders. She had rubbed some essential oils into her hair. It smelled amazing.
Her makeup was sophisticated.
There were 52 candidates. Elliot had gone through all their information. After going through them, he found none of them to be as good as Hayden, and he had not bothered remembering their names.
"Forget about it. He will introduce himself when he sees us later." Avery took his hand. "Let's go!"
In Taronia, Irene had received her pay that day. She had seen the message that she had received her payment after she was done with school. She immediately transferred some money to Mr. Swen.
Once she transferred the money, Mr. Swen responded to her message about the transaction with a question mark.
Irene wrote, [Mr. Swen, is it too small an amount? I'm no longer receiving double the amount, and I will receive less money next month, but I plan on taking on some part-time work during the summer break. Don't worry, I'll be sure to return the full sum of the money that I owe you.]
[You have already paid your debt!]
Irene suddenly felt like her world was spinning. She was sweating profusely.
Her debt had been paid. Who paid it?!
