Chapter 115
Audrey immediately recognized the voice. It was Layla who made things difficult for Trevor yesterday.
Miles’s expression changed when he heard Layla scold Jessica before entering the house. He threw down the fork and stormed out to settle the
score.
Jessica stopped him and said, “What are you doing? Come back. That’s your grandmother.”
Miles was unconvinced. “But she scolded you.”
Layla barged into the house with her eldest son, third son, and her most beloved grandson.
Seeing Jessica eat so sumptuously early in the morning, Layla was even more furious.
She had not eaten anything from yesterday until this morning and was almost full of anger.
Jessica surely knows how to enjoy herself, Layla thought.
Layla’s entire body trembled. She stepped forward and raised the table, wanting to flip it over. She said sternly, “Jessica, you black–hearted person. You deliberately tricked me. How can you still be in the mood to eat?”
Miles quickly pressed down on the table to prevent the delicacies from being ruined.
Layla was so angry that she raised her hand to hit Miles again, but he avoided her.
Jessica said unhurriedly, “Layla, it’s so early in the morning. Why are you so angry? If you’re always angry, it’ll hurt your body. Calm down.”
“Pfft, stop pretending. If you cared about my health, you wouldn’t have deliberately caused the Harper family to raise a bastard for more than twenty years.
but you
“You heartless thing. You know Eliza isn’t the Harper family’s child, but you still let me make a fool of myself. The Harper family is unlucky to let a woman like you marry into the family.”
Miles couldn’t take it anymore and defended Jessica, “You’re not allowed to insult my mother. All these years, my mother has never disrespected you. You’re the one who keeps pushing your luck.”
“Shut up when adults are talking.” Layla was so angry that her face turned red. She said furiously, “Jessica, look, this is the son you raised. How dare he shout at the elders? He has no manners at all.”
Miles clenched his fists and wanted to continue arguing, but Jessica grabbed his wrist and pulled him behind her.
Jessica stood before him and retorted coldly, “Layla, you vented your anger on me after being wronged outside. It’s not the right thing to do. Don’t you think so?”
Layla pretended to cry. “If you hadn’t mistaken your child back then, would I have suffered this? You deliberately asked me to look for Eliza, causing me to be humiliated by her…
“Oh my god, this is my good daughter–in–law. She’s scheming against me. Why am I so miserable?”
As she spoke, Layla pounded her thigh repeatedly, as if she was about to collapse and roll on the ground to make a scene in the next second.
Audrey had never seen such a scoundrel before and was stunned.
Jessica, who was used to such scenes, didn’t react.
Layla could easily make a scene. She was good at these tricks.
Jessica did not deny that she had deliberately caused Layla to make a fool of herself.
People said that evil people would have other evil people torturing them. Only someone as ruthless as Eliza could deal with a person like Layla,
Layla looked at Jessica’s indifferent attitude and felt even afgrier.
After getting Eliza’s address from Jessica yesterday, she couldn’t wait to enter the city overnight to look for Eliza.
When she arrived, she realized that the address was a big villa. She could not enter at all.
She didn’t want to give up and went to ask the guard. In the end, the guard said that he had never heard of the name Eliza.
She was furious. She thought Jessica had lied to her, but she was unwilling to go home just like that, so she called Eliza,

Layla still remembered Eliza’s sneer when she heard this. With disdain, Eliza mocked openly, “Stupid old woman, what kind of dream are you having? I’m not your granddaughter at all. It’s not my turn even if you want someone to marry that man. It’s easy if you have accepted the engagement gift. Get your biological granddaughter, Audrey, to marry that man.”
