Grandpa Brooks could still find time to tease Knight in this situation. This only caused him to roll his eyes before they burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, Miles was staring at Layla. He wanted to ask her questions but he didn't know how to go about it.

"If you have something to ask me, then do so," she suddenly spoke up and his hands slipped away from the wheel in fright.

"So sorry about that," he quickly regained control of the wheel when she stared at him.

"I would never have known that you are acquainted with grandpa Knight and that you also know how to hack," he said after some moment of silence.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just,"

"I understand, you didn't trust me," he said as he looked ahead not bothering to look at her anymore.

Layla was startled by what he said not because he was right even though he was, but by the fact that he was able to see through her. Yes, she didn't quite trust him and it wasn't her fault, she just didn't expect that he would be aware of it.

    Chapter One Layla woke up feeling sore. Her eyes flew open and she was shocked as to how long she had slept. She stood up with wobbly feet and also with great difficulty. She was still muddled and couldn't remember anything that happened last night. She only remembers having a few drinks with her boyfriend as he called her to have fun to liven up her damp mood. She wore her clothes quickly and rushed out of the room. She didn't even notice the patch of red on the bed. As she rushed out, she was greeted with strange glances but she didn't think much of it. On getting home, she was shocked by what she met. Her sister and boyfriend were all loving to each other "Why?" She asked feeling heartbroken. "I never loved you. I only love Ella and besides I can't be with someone who goes around sleeping with men. Seriously I thought you were different but after Ella showed me who you really are, I was disappointed." Michael said acting all disappointed. "Why are you saying such? You know

    I'm sorry,I was just too shocked that you made such a ridiculous statement." Layla said patting her chest. His gaze was too scary."Don't think too much. I just want my grandfather to stop arranging blind dates for me." He said while caressing his wrist. His eyes look deep and Layla wasn't able to read emotions from his face. He was really good at hiding his emotions."Fine. But I want to carry out revenge on my ex boyfriend and stepsister. I want them to suffer a fate much worse than mine." Layla said while clenching her fists. Mike's turned to look at her and was satisfied with her attitude. Even without her saying that,he would have done it,though secretly. He didn't want her to see him as a bad person after all she would be his wife.Of course. Then it's a deal. After your mom's surgery,you would sign the contract. Is that fine by you?"

Grandpa Brooks asked with a gossipy tone."Soon grandpa." He said and hung up. He rubbed his head and called his assistant in. They were about to have a serious conversation."Buy that apartment under Layla's name." He said to his assistant with a calculating look. They had humiliated one of his people so he has to give them a taste of their own medicine."Sure thing boss." Kingsley responded."Miss Layla's superior has plans to fire her,what should I do boss?" Kingsley asked."You are really asking that question. You don't know what to do or should I remind you what is to be done?" Miles asked and Kingsley left the office immediately.
