Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind Chapter 532 I Love You Layla wanted to call out to Macve, but her words fell on deaf ears, Layla became increasingly uneasy, and soon her cell phone rang.
âDad, are you almost here?â
âNo, Iâm in transit. Is your mother-
Finished âDad, Mom is so strange! Last night, she was talking just fine and then suddenly complained of a headache and wanted to sleep. This morning, she even told meâ¦
Layla recounted Maeveâs situation, but all she could hear from the other end was Harveyâs labored breathing.
âListen to me, Lulu, youâre the only one who can help me now. Your mother went to the attic, didnât she? Go there now, lock her in, and donât let anyone get to her until I arrive. Do you understand?â
âWhat? Dad, have you lost your mind?â
âYou I must go. Your mother⦠is ill. If others find out, do you want to be seen as the daughter of madwoman? Hurry up and go!â
Harvey painted a grave picture of the situation. Layla, although unclear about what was really going on, was evidently more frightened by Maeveâs current state. Hence, she had no choice but to follow Harveyâs instructions and run to the attic of the Quirk estate.
There was a staircase leading up to the very top of the building. Between the fifth floor and the rooftop. there was a small attic where various items from the past were stored.
Layla went up, but she didnât dare to enter. All she could do was listen to the sounds coming from inside. Some sort of electronic music was playing, which struck her as odd. After confirming that someone was indeed there, she planned to quietly close the door and lock it.
But before the door could fully close, it was forcefully yanked open from the inside. In that instant, Laylaâs heart pounded wildly.
Before she could even react, she heard Maeveâs sorrowful voice. âSuch a disobedient child you are⦠Thatâs why your parents abandoned you.â She then saw Maeve flip open a rather oldâ
fashioned flip phone. A strange electronic tune began to play, its eerie sound echoing in the empty and silent surroundings.
Layla was stunned, not comprehending Maeveâs words âMom? What are your talking about? Iâm your precious daughter!â
Although Maeve was laughing, there was a chilling coldness in her eyes that made Layla shudder.
âWhat? You thought your parents would love a freak like you? Every word you say and every action you take is so annoying. People only tolerate you because of others. Donât flatter yourself into thinking everyone likes you! After all, youâre so odd. So, shut up and be quiet!â
Layla didnât know what was happening. Suddenly, she felt a tightness in her throat. She found herself unable to speak due to Macveâs belittling remarks. All she wanted to do was cry.
The next moment, a sharp pain shot through her neck and she was knocked unconscious.
Chapter 532 | Love You In her groggy state, Isabella heard the aggressive knocking at the door.
#Finished Immediately, the warmth that enveloped her disappeared, followed by the sound of a door opening.
âCome on, itâs already cleven! Today is the birthday banquet! Itâs about to start. We understand youâre basking in the joy of your recent engagement, and your siblings are willing to help handle all the guests, bur you canât possibly miss the banquet! People are here firstly for the banquet, and secondly for you. You must show up! Wait⦠Donât tell me you havenât been sleeping?
Isabella found it incredibly noisy. It wasnât long before the sound of a door closing reached her ears, followed by a low, raspy voice.
âBella, we have to go. Iâll bring you back later.â
Isabella was genuinely terrified by the breathy whispers in her ear and Alexanderâs husky voice. It implied that the man was not yet satisfied and he wanted more. She truly didnât want any more. She felt like she was on the brink of death.
She waved her hand dismissively and pushed him away. Yet, a kiss was unexpectedly planted on the palm of her hand.
âI love you, Bella.â
Not long after he finished speaking, the room fell silent again. Alexander had gone into the bathroom. Isabella only felt as if she hadnât slept for very long, trapped in a groggy slumber.
In a daze, she felt a discomfort enveloping her entire body. It was only after realizing something that Isabellaâs face gradually turned red. Unable to contain herself, she covered her face with her hands, letting out a silent scream.
She had no idea how the night had passed. All she could remember as dawn broke was Alexanderâs grating. lowâpitched voice still ringing in her ears.
He usually doted on her, almost always attending to her every whim. But this time, no matter how much she pleaded for him to stop, it was useless.
He really has no sense of restraint! Itâs truly outrageous!
