Chapter 782

Layla was not a clueless child. She glanced at the woman who followed her in with the corner of her eyes. She did

not know this person at all, so why would she claim that there was something she needed from Layla?

Layla relieved herself and swiftly pulled her pants back up. 

“Don‘t be nervous, Layla. I‘m not a bad person,” the woman immediately started talking once Layla was dressed. “I

am sent by Elliot.” 

Layla instantly lowered her defenses at the mention of Elliot. Though she did not officially admit that Elliot was her

father, he had been nice to her; at the very least, she believed that Elliot wouldn‘t hurt her. 

She sighed a breath of relief and said, “you scared me, Auntie! Why did Elliot sent you here to look for me? Why

didn‘t he just contact me directly? I saw him just yesterday!” 

Guilt flashed by the woman‘s eyes. “It‘s more of an important matter and it‘s peculiar, so he was worried that he

might scare you if he talked to you directly; that‘s why he told me to come instead.” 

Layla was only beginning to let her guards down, but immediately became nervous again at the woman‘s words. 

“What kind of important and peculiar business do you have to say to a kid like me?” Layla enjoyed pretending to be

an adult, but she had never forgotten the fact that she was a child.” My mom is in Bridgedale, but you can call her!

You can talk to my brother as well!” 

In Layla‘s mind, though her brother was the same age as her, Hayden was already a mature

individual. 

The woman shook her head. “Your mother doesn’t know about this. It’s about a crimson

colored box.”

The look on Layla‘s face instantly froze in response to the words. 

‘A crimson–colored box?‘ 

Layla had received countless gifts on every special occasion and they were all wrapped in boxes of different colors,

so Layla couldn‘t quite understand what the woman meant by ‘a crimson colored box‘. 

“There‘s no rush, Layla. The crimson box I‘m talking about belongs to Elliot. Did you and your brother take a

crimson–colored box from his house before?” Woman explained in details AKOJGP–h Layla immediately

remembered.

It was the crimson–colored box that she had taken from Elliot‘s study room when she went to his house.

In truth, her mother had been rather strict on educating them and stealing from someone‘s home was absolutely

forbidden; however, something ticked off in her head that day when she thought of what a dirtbag Elliot was for not

raising her and her brother, and making her mother angry. Hence, she took something of his on purpose as a

punishment towards her. 

She had been younger then and there wasn‘t much she could do to Elliot even if she wanted to, but she had never

imagined that a box that she had randomly taken contained something that important. 

“Do you remember it now, Layla? The box contains something really important to Elliot.” The woman noticed Layla

looking away and instantly knew that there was something to it. If Layla hadn‘t seen or taken the box, she would

have denied it right away.

A child her age could never hide what was truly on her mind. 

Layla looked up and scanned the woman up and down.

Her brother had told her that the box contained something important to Elliot and that she was to keep it a secret.

None of them had mentioned it to their mother or mike that the box was buried under a tree in their yard.
