Chapter 16 Lyla Brooklyn and Dogs Not Allowed Inside
A roar rang loudly in her ears-it was a voice she was very familiar with. I was right…
Camila lifted her head and saw her father-Gael.Brooklyn-whom she had not seen in seven years. He
looked much older than he was seven years ago, but he seemed to be in good spirits and still had a
noble and dignified air around him. At that moment, he was glaring at Camila with a furious look on his
face-the dislike and disgust he held for her remained unchanged too. Gael hurried over and helped Lyla
up, feeling sorry for her as he wiped away her tears. “Lyla, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?” Lyla
leaned back in his arms weakly. “Dad, I’m fine. I’m just a little dizzy… Don’t blame Camila. I just wanted
to bring her to meet you when I saw her, but she refused.” Camila was too tired to say another word.
Thus, she got up from the ground with some difficulty. On the other hand, Kate hurriedly came over with
South in her arms. South reached out his two short arms and wrapped them around her neck. Hugging
her, he tenderly asked, “Mommy, does it hurt?” Hugging him tightly to her, Camila buried her face in his
neck and shook her head lightly. She smiled, took a deep breath, and said, “Let’s go, South.” “Stop right
there, Camila Brooklyn!” Gael stopped them sternly. “You didn’t even calm down after coming back. Just
how deep a grudge do you hold for you to try and kill your sister? Apologize to her!” She stiffened for a
moment, then abruptly spun around with an icy expression. “Apologize? For what reason should I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtapologize? She picked a fight with me by hurting my son first! She should be glad I didn’t kill her! Why
should I apologize?!” Son? He was taken aback by her words. Then, he glanced at South, who was
nestled in her arms, in disbelief. At that moment, Lyla said in a pitiful voice, “Dad, don’t make things
difficult for Camila. It’s my fault. I should be apologizing instead. Just now, I accidentally hurt the child.
So, it’s normal for her to hate me and hit me. Now that Miles and I are in a relationship, it’s a given that
her emotions would run wild.”
After hearing those words, Gael frowned again and comforted her, “What did you do wrong? She brought
that upon herself. If it wasn’t for you, the Brooklyn Company would not be what it is today.” Still, his
daughter had finally returned after all. So, his
voice became much gentler. “Alright, your sister has also said that she didn’t do it on purpose. As her
elder sister, do you have to be so unforgiving of her?” Camila was so angry she nearly burst out
laughing. “Whether or not it was intentional, she herself should know. Ever since the day you disowned
me, I lost my father. What more a daughter you picked up from God knows where like her; what right
does she have to have a relationship with me? B*tch!”
With a single sentence, she managed to touch a raw nerve in him again. Thus, he lost his temper and
yelled, “Camila Brooklyn! If you say something like that again, don’t even think about returning to the
Brooklyn Family!” The more furious he got, the calmer she became. “I don’t need that family of yours.”
Upon hearing those words, he froze in shock. Perhaps he had never imagined that she had no plans to
return home despite returning to the country.
On the other hand, Camila had taken out a wad of cash from her bag and placed it on the table, saying
to the waiter, “Here, this is for the bill as well as for the damaged tableware.”
The waiter smiled and nodded. “Excuse me, miss. Our boss has said that you don’t need to pay for this
meal.” As he spoke, he pointed at a man not far away.
Thus, Camila looked in the direction he pointed. Hmm? Isn’t that man the person I saved on the road?
Then, she smiled. “It’s you?” Brian Mccarthy walked over, nodding while smiling. “I really have to thank
you for saving me last time. So, you don’t have to pay for the damages caused today.” “How can I do
that? This and that are different matters. I still have to pay for my meal!”
He chuckled. “I’m being earnest. Miss Brooklyn, you need to give me a chance to repay my debt of
gratitude.” As she was in no mood to be polite, she didn’t refuse his offer any further. “Thanks then.” Just
then, the waiter handed Brian a VIP card. Accepting it from the waiter, he then gifted it to Camila. “This is
for you. In the future, you can use this at any time to eat at this restaurant.” Thus, Camila accepted it with
a smile. “Thanks again.” Brian nodded slightly and watched her leave. After that, he shot a look at his
manager.
The hotel manager brought out a bill and placed it in front of Lyla. “Miss, the damages caused to the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrestaurant amount to a total of 1,800.”
Lyla scowled immediately. “I didn’t break any of that; why are you asking us to pay for
it?”
“Our boss said this: we all know, in our hearts, who this bill should be charged to,” the manager replied
without batting an eye.
Lyla sneered, “What if I refuse to pay?” The manager said nothing. Instead, he gestured at something not
far away. Immediately, several security guards surrounded them. Without saying anything else, one
person supported her head while another supported her legs. Combining their strengths, they lifted Lyla
and walked toward the door.
“What are you doing?!” Lyla was so frightened that her face lost its color.
On the other hand, Gael and Miles rushed forward and tried to help her. “Let her down!”
Then, the security guards threw Lyla out of the restaurant, then turned around and chased Gael and
Miles out as well.
Thus, the three of them sprawled across the ground pathetically. Afterward, another security guard
walked over with a newly written sign: ‘Lyla Brooklyn and Dogs Not Allowed Inside!’. Lyla nearly went
mad with rage. “You-This is against the law! I’m going to sue you!” The restaurant manager stood on the
raised platform, coldly giving her a sideways glance. What a lunatic. I can’t believe she wants to sue our
boss; does she even have the courage to do so? Then, he casually spat out a sentence at her, “Go
ahead.”
