and poked a man's head as she scolded him.

me?" Hearing this, the usually gentle Trevor was a little annoyed.
He didn't mind Layla scolding him as soon as she arrived, but he couldn't stand her scolding his sister.
Layla did not like Eliza. This was almost public knowledge in the Harper family.
Layla didn't like Eliza because she was a girl. Layla thought she was a good-for-nothing.
However, when she was young, Eliza was not in good health. She looked like a small ball and was adorable.
Moreover, her mother had risked her life in exchange for her.
Trevor liked Eliza as his sister.
Besides, he felt it had nothing to do with his sister that he beclike this.
He thought he was just unlucky.
Trevor clenched his fists and his thin body tensed up. The corners of his mouth were slightly lowered as he said,
"Grandma, you're not giving her out. You want to sell Eliza."
Layla's expression changed and her tone becsharp. "What do you mean selling her? That's called an
engagement gift. Which family doesn't accept engagement gifts when they marry off their daughters now?"
Trevor's heart turned cold when he heard Layla's self-righteous words. He said coldly, "Marriage requires two

"You object? What's the use of you objecting? Do you think I'm here to ask for your opinion?"
Layla spoke for a long time, but when she saw that Trevor was still like a block of wood, she immediately felt a
throbbing pain in her temples and shouted at the top of her lungs.
She said, "Tellwhere Eliza is hiding now. I'm telling you, she can't hide. This is her life."
Trevor was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He panted and said, "I won't tell you. | won't let you ruin
Eliza."
Layla was even angrier after being contradicted. Her face was tense, and her eyes were wide open. She said
sternly, "This is outrageous. Your father isn't around, and | have a final say in this family.
"I've accepted the engagement gift. It's best if Eliza is willing to marry over. If she's not, I'll tie her up if
necessary.
"Don't think | won't be able to find her just because you're hiding it from me. At most, I'll go to the police station
to report her disappearance. The police will find her."
She wanted to see where Eliza could escape.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble." A calm female voice cfrom the entrance of the courtyard.
Layla and Trevor looked back at the stime.
Jessica patted Audrey's hand, signaling her to let go. Then, she walked toward the mean-looking Layla alone.
She said, "Eliza is in Riverdale. | can give you the address. If you want to find her, go ahead and do it. See if
she's willing to marry that person."
Layla was overjoyed and immediately asked for the exact address.
But Trevor's expression changed and he whispered, "Mom, you can't harm Eliza..."
The man that Layla found for Eliza was famous for being a good-for-nothing.
That person was not doing his job properly and was a playboy. Moreover, he was fat. He was not worthy of Eliza.
'If Mom agrees to this marriage, won't it be equivalent to pushing Eliza into a fire pit?' Trevor thought.
