Hayden hung up. Mike wanted to laugh but he saw Layla's lost yet adorable look. He suppressed his urge to laugh.
When they returned home, Avery held onto Layla's hand. Before she could say what she wanted to say, Layla took action first.
"Mommy, do you think I'm cute?"
"You are cute! You're the cutest kid in the entire world."
"Then, when I become a big star, I'll give you all the money I earn, okay? I told Hayden I'll give him half just now, but he doesn't want it." Layla's eyes sparkled spiritedly.
Avery's mind blanked instantly.
It looked like she could not get through to Layla, she could only look for Eric and talk with him. Avery sent a message expressing her disagreement with Layla to join the entertainment industry.
Half an hour later, Eric replied, [Layla might be young, but we should respect her choice. The entertainment industry is not as scary as you think. I will protect her. I'll make sure she won't get hurt. Please trust me.]
Avery failed to talk to him either. She was deep in thoughts. If she were to respect Layla’s decision and continue to let Layla work in the entertainment industry, Elliot would surely be mad. Avery did not want to fight with him, but neither did she not want to force her daughter to obey her just because of him.
After thinking it through, Avery fell deeply asleep.
A week later, because the Tate Industries' drones were at an irreplaceable position in Aryadelle, a few leaders came to inspect that day.
