At seven-thirty in the morning, Layla received a video call from Mike.
"Layla, I'm planning to go back to see you and Robert! Are you happy?" Mike was packing his luggage.
"Ah! Are you for real?" Layla jumped up excitedly. "Is Mommy coming back too? Are you two coming back together?"
Mike knew that Layla would ask that.
"Are you not going to welcome me if I were to return alone? I'll be sad."
Layla’s happiness decreased a little. "Why is Mommy not returning with you?"
"Because of your Daddy! She doesn't want to see him. Neither does she want to fight with him, so I'll return to see you and Robert. Once you have your winter break, I’ll take you to see her." "Okay, sure! I have already talked to Uncle Eric. He said he could take me to Bridgedale! Can we also bring Robert?" Layla missed Robert. "If I were to go and he was to stay home alone, he'll be lonely! He would surely miss me and cry!"
Mike said, "We'll have to see then whether Elliot allows us to take Robert to Bridgedale or not. After all, Robert is still young. He has never traveled. I'm guessing Elliot will be worried."
"Hmph! I'll put Robert in my suitcase and secretly take him with me!"
"Layla! Don't do that! You'll suffocate him!" Mike sweated.
"I'm talking about the suitcases for pets! Those won't suffocate him!"
"Do you think Elliot is an idiot?" Mike said while packing. He sat down by the bed. "Do you know that your every move is being monitored? Every time you secretly call Avery, do you think he doesn't know about it? You're too naive!"
Layla immediately looked around for a surveillance camera.
"There are no cameras in my room!"
"Don't you know about hidden cameras? If he wants to control your life, he will not let you see the hidden cameras."
Elliot's phone rang noisily, waking him up.
He opened his eyes ;a*>VMY= felt groggy. He did not have enough sleep. He reached out to the nightstand to pick up his phone.
When he saw that it was from Ben, he immediately answered it while shutting his eyes.
"Elliot, I heard some news just now." Ben's voice was a little tense. He sounded a little shocked. "Avery seemed to have sold Alpha Technologies!"
Elliot opened his eyes immediately!
Avery had sold off Alpha Technologies?
"This piece of news is at least eighty percent accurate! I heard she sold it off cheap because Tate Industries opened a new branch which caused everyone to look down on Alpha Technologies. Avery selling it off at this time won't get her a good price, " Ben said quickly. "But she still chose to sell it off! Elliot, do you regret your decision?"
