Chapter 784

"That lady was sent by Elliot," Layla explained to the bodyguard in all seriousness, "Elliot is a bad

person! She said that if I don't give the box up, Elliot will kill you. You protect me every single day, how

can I let him kill you?"

The bodyguard felt flattered and surprised at the same time. "Why don’t I feel like that's the kind of man

Elliot Foster is? If one beats a dog, one has to answer to its master. I am hired by your mother. How is

he supposed to explain himself to your mother if he kills me?"

Layla blinked blankly. "So, you are saying that he doesn't dare to offend Mom?"

"Yeah! When has he ever bullied anyone in this house? Whether it's you and your

brother, or your Uncle Mike, he has always been quite polite when he sees you all," the bodyguard

rationalized, "why would he kill me when I didn't do anything to him?"

"But I stole from him," Layla mumbled while tugging at the corner of her clothes." I stole that box from

his house and it contains something really important. Now that I've returned it to him, he probably won’t
