Chapter 13: Looking for Andre

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sprawled on the ground, Layla cut an especially sorry figure. When the friends and servants nearby heard the noises, they quickly rushed over to help Layla up.

Layla raised her head to search for Andre’s silhouette in the crowd, but she found nothing upon looking around.

Darren hurried over and picked his daughter up from the ground. His eyes were filled with unspeakable heartache. “Layla, are you all right? What happened just now?”

Susan, who had been preparing the salad dressing, also rushed over to check on her daughter’s injuries.

Looking at her parents’ worried expressions, Layla gritted her teeth to bear with the pain and revealed a smile. She pretended to be relaxed and said, “It’s nothing, Mom, Dad. Don’t worry. I accidentally fell out of the wheelchair just now.”

Seeing how sensible her daughter looked, Susan couldn’t help but turn her back as tears fell.

Not wanting to see her mother sad, Layla turned to her father. “Dad, where’s that man named Andre?”

“Oh, he has something on so he went back first. What’s wrong? Layla, do you need to see him for something?”

“Mhm! Yes, Dad, and it’s a very important matter!”

Layla looked at the evil spirit floating not far away and said firmly.

“What’s the matter? Can you tell Dad?”

Layla fell silent. Her father had never believed in the existence of evil spirits, and he could not see them either.

If Layla said that she could see an evil spirit, her father might even think that Layla’s mental state had a problem due to the car accident.

Layla struggled for a moment but decided not to say anything about the evil spirit.

“I can’t. It’s still a secret,” Layla replied.

Darren’s expression turned very grave at that. What he had been worried about had still happened in the end.

No way. No matter what, I can’t let my precious daughter get mixed up with Andre, Darren thought to himself and spoke up coldly.

“Layla, you must not be attracted to his good looks! Of course, I’m not saying that Andre is a bad person. I fully approve of his character and capability.”

“However, he will bring misfortune to the women around him. Every single one of his girlfriends died mysteriously. Just a few days ago, he jinxed his fourth girlfriend to death at their wedding! No matter what, I will never agree for you to look for Andre!”

“Dad, don’t worry. I just heard from the servants that he’s the company’s most capable person. I want to learn from him about how to manage the company,” Layla said.

Layla watched as that evil spirit licked all the pizzas prepared on the table with its long green tongue. It even stuck its tongue out at Layla deliberately.

Layla knew that it was trying to disgust her on purpose. This made her even more determined to find Andre!

She had to get rid of this evil spirit, and the only way she knew how to now was to follow Andre very closely!

This evil spirit was targeting her. Layla believed that as long as she left, the evil spirit would also leave with her!

This way, the evil spirit would not be able to hurt her family and friends anymore!

Under Layla’s repeated pleas, Darren relented in the end.

After a brief goodbye to her mother, Layla followed her father to P City.

Layla sat in the backseat and looked out of the window. Her hands could not help but clench into fists. That skull was indeed chasing after her!

Andre would bring misfortune to the women around him. This statement did bother Layla somewhat, but compared to this nasty fellow following behind her, Layla still decided to take a gamble!

Andre, who was preparing to take a shower, heard from a servant that the company’s president was visiting in the middle of the night. He quickly went to the living room.

Who knew that it was not only the president who came but also that young lady, who bore inexplicable hostility towards him?

Seeing how the president looked hesitant to speak, Andre knew that there definitely wasn’t anything good about their presence.

Under Layla’s expectant gaze, Darren had no choice but to ask if Andre could take care of Layla for a few days. This child wanted to learn the ropes from him.

Andre frowned. He really didn’t expect this beautiful little loli1 to come to his house.

Recalling his previous two experiences of being pushed to the ground, a trace of displeasure sprung up in Andre’s heart. However, this little loli looked rather quiet now.

However, remembering how he would bring misfortune to the women around him, Andre still rejected them tactfully.
