"Layla, when your Daddy and | were in love, he had made many promises tobefore, but they all becthe butt of a joke later
on." Avery did not want to upset Layla, but she also did not want her daughter to trust other people's words so easily and get
disappointed.
"If there comes a twhen he does lie to me, | will not let him go!" Layla puffed her cheeks up and said, "If he doesn’t stick to his
promise, | won't want him anymore!"
Avery caressed Layla's head. "Don't think so much about this. Let's go out and have sfun."
"Hmm."

"Mr. Foster, Miss Jennings, | never thought that you would be so punctual. We initially wanted to tell you beforehand, but after
thinking about it, we thought it would be better to tell you in person." The manager smiled and informed them of their decision,
"Last night, we told our boss your proposal, and he refused to collaborate."
Elliot was not surprised by this outcome, but Natalie did not want to give up just like that. "lI want to know the reason why your
boss has rejected us. Could your boss be so rich that he doesn't need any money? With our investment, Dream Maker could be
bigger."
"Our boss didn’t tell us the reason. We don't know what he is thinking, too," the manager said. "You should have heard that our
boss is a little special. His thoughts are usually quite different from other people's."
"That means, your boss is so rich that he doesn't need investors." Natalie gave up completely.
"Not necessarily so," the manager said honestly. "The company has been going on for two years. We have conducted several
fundraisers during the first year. If our boss doesn't need money, we would not have done so, but we are indeed in a position
where we don’t lack money. Many investors have cto us on their own. We have many choices."
"Oh? Have you never met your boss before? " "Never. We only contact him through his assistant or emails or phone calls."
Elliot could not help but ask, "What is your boss' name?"
"Mr. Foster, truth be told, | don't know our boss' real name. He signs his emails off with Billy. We call him Billy."
The nsounded like a code name.
"If that's so, then we won't disturb you any further." Elliot got up from the sofa. He no longer wanted to waste time.
Last night, the bodyguard had told Elliot that Robert had told Layla about his meeting with Natalie, which caused Layla to get very
mad. Elliot wanted to return to Aryadelle to speak to Layla.
The manager sent them off
The manager mocked him and said, "Not only that, but our boss told us to tell him to f *ck off. How could | tell that to them? I'm
guessing that our boss has a grudge against Elliot."

The assistant was speechless.
A week later, Layla had finished all her film work. The bodyguard sent her home.
Layla did not expect Natalie to be home.
"Aunt Natalie, are you moving in with us?" Layla looked at her, on guard.
Natalie noticed Layla's hostility. She immediately said, "No, no. | only heard that you're coming htoday, so | cover. Your
birthday is almost here. | prepared a birthday gift for you."
Natalie picked up a gift bag from the table and passed it to Layla.
Layla accepted the gift bag and took out a pink box from it. She opened it.
The necklace was in the box.
