NovelEnglishElliot left the dining hall.
When Layla saw his hardened expression, her heart started beating faster. She was not used to him being suddenly so serious.
"Layla, perhaps your Daddy is looking for you to talk about your Mommy," Mrs.
Cooper said to Layla when she saw Layla standing there not moving.
Layla pouted and grumbled softly, "I don't think so!"
From Elliot's expression, she could roughly guess that it was because of her test results.
Since she did that already, she should have been mentally prepared. If Elliot dared to scold her or hit her, she would run away from
himmediately and head to Bridgedale to look for her Mommy and Hayden.
In Elliot's study, Elliot waited for Layla to enter before closing the door.

"Why are you closing the door? Open it." Layla looked at the door and sternly commanded.
Elliot could only leave the door open.
To the public, he was the high and mighty President of the Sterling Group. No one dared to disrespect him. However, at home, he
had to react according to his daughter's moods every day.
"Layla, do you know how normal people change their lives?" Elliot did not directly mention her results, because she looked angry at
that moment.
Sure enough, she did not answer his question.
"They change their lives by studying." Elliot's eyes darkened. He looked at Layla’s face, which looked a lot like Avery's. "In
Aryadelle, there are a lot of children who don't have the opportunity to study because they are poor. Since you have the good
fortune of having access to a good education, you should cherish it and not treat your studies as a joke."
"You know that | failed my tests?" Layla puffed her chest up and said resoundingly," Mommy used to guidewith my studies.
Without her now, my results will surely drop."
Elliot did not expect Layla to use such a reason.
"Then, I'll guide you in the future," Elliot proposed.
"You can't" Layla rejected him. "Mommy is a genius. Are you? Don't makeeven stupider."
Elliot's heart sank as if he had been doused with cold water. He had graduated from a famous university. Although he had
graduated many years ago, he would surely still be able to do elementary school homework, yet his daughter detested him.
"Then, I'll hire all the best teachers to help you." Elliot thought that Layla would not be so rebellious as to disrespect her teachers
in school.
"No!" Layla refused once more. "Other than Mommy, no one else can teach me."
Father >d$;SJW= daughter confronted each other head-on. Layla was threatening him with her studies.

He picked up the glass of water on the table, and took a sip, before saying calmly," Layla, since you think you're not good at
studies, and you can't be a genius like your Mommy, then let's face the reality, just becan ordinary person then!"
Layla was confused.
"You can do what you like in your future exams. If you do well, I'll reward you. Even if you don’t do well, | won't criticize you. With
my ability, even if you had zeros on all of your exams, I'll still be able to pay your way into one of Aryadelle's famous universities,
and you can graduate with a prestigious degree."
Layla was bewildered.
"So, if you want to learn, learn, if not, go have fun. | won't force you." Elliot looked at Layla's stunned face. His tone turned gentle,
"After you graduate from the university, if you don't want to work, stay at home. If you think his not fun, you could travel the
world. | have money to cover you for the rest of your life. It's not a problem."
Layla began to bawl. Her threats did not work on Elliot! She was extremely furious!
Seeing Layla running out of his study room, Elliot wanted to chase after her.
Right at this moment, his phone on his desk rang. He walked over to the desk and picked up his phone. He saw the caller ID.
