All Chapters of The CEO’s Obsession: Layla, You’re Not Allowed to Die: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Fighting back the nausea, Layla forced herself to take a closer look at the body, carefully confirming the suspect’s identity.Once the police had recorded her statement, they dismissed her, telling her to go home and wait for further updates.Back at the hospital, Layla ran right into Xena, who was getting discharged. The Xander family crowded around her, fussing over her like attendants catering to a queen.The image was so ridiculous that Layla almost burst out laughing.“Layla Xander! You actually have the nerve to show up here?” Shane was the first to spot her, immediately stepping in front of Xena like a human shield. “What now? Trying to throw more dirt on Xena?“Didn’t you swear up and down that you had evidence? And now? Nothing. Just baseless accusations. Do you think the law bends to your will?” Layla shot him a look—one reserved for the truly dim-witted. “You’ve been here for days, and you still haven’t gotten your head checked? What a waste of a hospital stay

“Go ahead and set your things down. Whatever you have to say, take a seat and say it.” Layla gestured for Kiera to sit, hoping to steer the conversation away from unwanted questions. For some reason, that question just now had made her heart beat a little faster. She had always thought her relationship with William was straightforward, yet the moment it was brought up, a strange sense of unease crept in. Thankfully, Kiera didn’t seem too eager to pry. After placing the gift bag on the table, she took a seat in a separate armchair. Her gaze landed on Layla’s knitted beanie, and a hint of pity flashed in her eyes. “Miss Xander, you’re so young. It’s just not fair that you have to go through this.” Layla chuckled lightly. “The world’s too crowded for luck to keep tabs on everyone. A few getting overlooked is just how it goes.”Seeing her still in the mood to joke, Kiera relaxed a little. “Don’t overthink things. Just focus on getting better.” “At this stage, it’s the

Layla was lost in thought, so much so that she didn’t even notice William standing at her bedroom door for quite some time. “What are you thinking about?” The sudden voice startled her. She sat up in a hurry, looking toward him. “When did you get here?” “I’ve been here for a while.” William walked over to the hospital bed and casually asked, “What did Kiera want from you?” “She seems to think Sean still has feelings for me, so she came asking me to put in a good word for her. She wants me to tell him to move on so they can get engaged smoothly.” Layla let out a mocking laugh. “Miss Jenkins is certainly… naïve. Imagine asking your boyfriend’s ex to help you win him over. Honestly, it’s a miracle I didn’t slap Sean when I saw him. “She wants me to play matchmaker? I was this close to telling her I’d rather curse Sean to never know love and die alone.“Besides, I don’t even think he still has feelings for me.” Layla paused, lost in thought for a moment. “It’s just

Mr. Perry Sr. sat at the head of the table, with William and his eldest son, Wilfred Perry, seated on separate sofas beside him.Meanwhile, the two younger men—Sean and Felix Perry—were left standing.Sean was an illegitimate child, whereas Felix was the rightful firstborn. The two had been at odds since childhood, constantly competing in the shadows. Felix wasn’t as sharp as Sean, but he had received far more paternal affection. Over the years, Wilfred had taken him under his wing, guiding him in expanding the family's overseas business and personally grooming him for the future. Now that both had grown into capable men, their ambitions for the heir position were no longer hidden. Tonight, as soon as William arrived, he brought up one of Felix’s overseas projects—one that had helped strengthen business ties between the Lucas and Perry families. His words were full of praise, subtly painting Felix as a talented and promising young man. Mr. Perry Sr., delighted by the flat

“Xena.” Sean didn’t pull his hand away. Instead, he met Xena’s gaze with an unsettling calm. “I’ve told you many times—I love Layla. From the very beginning, whatever was between us was a mistake.“Losing the baby was just a chance to correct that mistake. You and I… we should go back to where we belong, shouldn’t we?” “No!” Xena sobbed harder, clutching Sean’s hand in a death grip. “You’re lying! There’s no way you don’t have feelings for me!” “Xena, listen to me—” “No! I don’t want to hear it!” Her emotions spiraled out of control as she suddenly stood on tiptoe, pressing her lips desperately against his. Her voice trembled as she whispered between hurried kisses, “Sean, I love you…” Sean shoved her away. “Calm down—” “You love me!” Xena wrapped her arms around his neck, refusing to give him the chance to push her away again. Her kiss was clumsy, desperate—her lips salty with tears. There was a hint of submission in the way she kissed him, as if beggi
