All Chapters of The CEO’s Obsession: Layla, You’re Not Allowed to Die: Chapter 441 - Chapter 450

Back at the Harris estate, the moment Gwen stepped into her room, she locked the door behind her with a sharp click. No matter how many times Mrs. Harris Sr. called out to her from the hallway, Gwen refused to open the door.The commotion woke Wilson, who stepped out of his room, yawning. “Weren’t you guys supposed to stay over at the Lucas place tonight? What—”“Shut up!” Mrs. Harris Sr. snapped, her voice sharp enough to jolt him fully awake.“From now on, I don’t want to hear another word about the Lucas family! Not a single one of them is any good!” She was livid, her voice rising with every word. “And you! I don’t want you going anywhere near William Lucas again. He... that bastard!”Her furious yelling echoed down the entire hallway.Wilson blinked, stunned. “Wait... can someone tell me what happened first? At least let me hear both sides. If William really did something wrong, of course I’ll stand up for Gwen.”Mrs. Harris Sr.’s face twisted, like she didn’t even know wher

“What?” Layla whipped around to face William, staring at him in shock. She practically blurted out, “Your plan was to ruin the engagement, hand over your position at the company, and let Lucien get exactly what he wanted?” For some reason, William thought she looked incredibly cute when she was angry like this. Suppressing a smile, he gave a casual nod. “Yeah.” Layla was practically fuming. “Are you out of your mind, or did I just hear that wrong? Do you even know what you’re saying right now?” “I do.” William slowly walked toward her. “This morning, my dad went straight to the company and announced that Lucien would be taking over as acting CEO. Starting today, I’m officially out of a job.” Layla stared at him, dumbfounded. For a second, she seriously considered pinching herself to make sure she wasn’t dreaming. William’s voice dropped lower, his eyes steady on her. “So, Miss Xander, now that I’m unemployed... would you be willing to take me in?” “Take you

Half an hour later, William walked out of the office with Mike following close behind.His suit jacket was gone. The sleeves of his dress shirt were rolled up, revealing the lean, muscular lines of his forearms.William had always been known for being precise and put-together. He was always calm and composed. But right now, there was nothing calm about him. He carried a dangerous, almost violent edge that sent chills down anyone watching.The secretaries from the Executive Office stood quietly, watching the two men leave without daring to say a word.Outside the Lucas Corporation building, William had just gotten into the car when his phone started to buzz. He glanced at the caller ID, frowning slightly.Not surprisingly, the moment he answered, a man’s gloating voice came through.“Word is, you got kicked out of Lucas Corporation? Damn, looks like the old man finally lost it for real this time!”The man laughed even harder. “Man, this is the best news I’ve heard in forever. Hur

Outside the door, Layla hesitated, unsure if she should ring the bell.Suddenly, the door swung open.She froze for a second when she came face-to-face with William.“You need something?” he asked.Snapping out of it, Layla cleared her throat. “Uh… I just wanted to check if you’ve eaten. I made a little too much food tonight.”“I haven’t eaten yet. Let’s go.”Without waiting for her response, William walked right past her and headed straight into the apartment next door like it was the most natural thing in the world.Layla followed behind, feeling more and more puzzled. Why did it feel like William was getting way too comfortable around here? He didn’t even bother with the usual polite small talk anymore.She watched him sit down at the dining table like he owned the place. After hesitating for a moment, she sat across from him and casually served him a bowl of soup.Then, almost without thinking, she started, “I don’t know what your plan is, but if—”“Let’s eat first.”Wil

Right on time, Xena showed up at Sean’s villa, holding a shopping bag in one hand and a bouquet of roses in the other. She pressed the doorbell without hesitation.When Sean opened the door, the first thing he saw was the bright red roses and Xena’s radiant, smiling face framed perfectly behind them.“Sean!” Xena threw herself straight into his arms, acting sweet and clingy like a spoiled girlfriend. “I missed you so much.”Sean hesitated for a second before raising a hand to lightly rest on her shoulder. “Didn’t you say you had something to talk to me about? Let’s talk first.”“What’s the rush?”Xena held up the bag in her hand. “I bought some things and I’ve been learning how to cook from videos online. Tonight, I want you to try my cooking. We can eat and talk at the same time.”Before Sean could respond, Xena was already happily skipping toward the kitchen, casually setting the bouquet down on the island counter.Sean followed her to the doorway, watching her busy figure
